Community College to UCI?

<p>So you took the course a third time and received an A? </p>

<p>If you can, like briceies suggested, bring your GPA up to 3.2+, preferably before summer. Also, if you haven’t already, check which pre-reqs UCI wants you to complete by the summer before you apply to transfer. Make sure you’re on track to completing all your pre-reqs by spring 2013, assuming you’re applying next year. </p>

<p>Here are some links to check out:

<p>I don’t believe much has changed in that matrix besides the increase in minimum GPA requirements. </p>

<p>According to that matrix, UCI reads your personal statements, so make sure you have some kick ass ones. I say write well even if you become eligible for the TAG. That’s just me though. </p>

<p>Hopefully somebody weighs in with more information about UCI, because I actually don’t know much about the school. In general make yourself competitive by bringing up your GPA, show interest in your major outside of school through extracurricular activities, find a job related to what you’re studying if possible, etc. Again, if you can TAG, that will help you out quite a bit…</p>
