After we as smart as the others? Community College Transfer to UCLA

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>There’s a person on this board named Thomas who I admire. He transfered from Santa Monica College to UC Berkeley into the electrical engineering and computer science major and graduated with a 3.9 gpa. Clearly he’s very intelligent, but he’s also an extremely hard worker. </p>

<p>You might like to read one of his posts in a similar topic where an EECS student was concerned about his ability to succeed as a transfer:</p>

<p>high school performance doesn’t necessarily correlate with College performance… or more specifically intelligence.</p>

<p>I’m confused by your initial question. “After we as smart as the others?” What are you talking about</p>

<p>ah please, when your UC class will start with 50 people and end with 3 people passing it with the highest grade of 78%, I will believe this non-sense. Until then, it’s all talk.</p>

<p>And high school GPA has absolutely nothing to do with intelligence or how smart you are.</p>

<p>I just thought I’d share that there was an enormous “cheating network” at my high school that led to a group of 20-30 not-so-smart people leading the class (with the exception of maybe 5 other students). It’s unbelievable how much cheating occurs in high school when everyone is taking basically the exact same courses (and tests).</p>

<p>Edit: Oh, and they also set up to cheat on the SAT. People that were good at the SAT were paid to take the SAT for other students. It was unbelievable.</p>
