<p>ahhahahhaa</p>
<p>and yeah with confidence, I’d say you’re def in </p>
<p>edit: gpa might be slightly below avg, but I think if you made your essays unique and powerful, you stand a good shot for UCLA/B</p>

<p>in where? all of them?</p>
<p>^ not really
judging by the 2011 fall admit data from ucla
[Profile</a> of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2011 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm]Profile ”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof11_mjr.htm )
sociology is one of the most impacted majors and only has a 16 percent admit rate.
your gpa is also below the average admitted, which is 3.82
not sure if your low unit count is gonna matter.
it all comes down to your essays i guess.</p>

<p>16 percent is good enough for me. gpa should go up by spring 2012</p>
<p>so ucla is a reach. what about the other schools?</p>
<p>Your major is sociology, and you have a gpa of 3.7. You don’t have to worry about anything, just do a great job on ur PS then ur in for all. Come on it’s sociology. Not to brag, but my friend transfer to Berkeley with sociology major in 1 year as a junior transfer. He barely has 60 units by spring. Prereq not many, math sequence? easy just cal 1 or integral cal, but at Berkeley he doesn’t need it… His gpa was 3.7, not to mention he is the dumbest guy in the group. Anyway he in, ur in. Gotta have confident bro, u will make it. Best of luck.</p>

<p>just take regular calc</p>
<p>UCB 50% UCLA 85% and the rest definitely in. Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m planning on signing up for Finite Math in the spring because I’ve never taken Pre-Calc or any type of Calculus for that matter. I’m taking stats right now.</p>
