Entry to UCLA (Odd circumstances)

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>So, here’s my story.</p>

<p>This past fall semester, I had attended Cal in the Fall Program for Freshmen. Sadly, I got a little too caught up with college life and was academically disqualified from attending Cal the current spring semester. I am taking classes at a local community college, and a week ago I was reading through the UC Transfer Guide. Something interesting caught my attention:</p>

<p>“If you were eligible for admission to the University when you graduated from high school - meaning you satisfied the Subject, Scholarship, and Examination requirements, or were identified by the University during your senior year as eligible in the local context - you are eligible for transfer if you have a 2.0 GPA in your transferable coursework.”</p>

<p>Immediately I thought, “I could go back to UCLA or UCSD (which I had been accepted to last year) soon!”. However, after I thought about it some more, I realized that the applications for admission to the Fall quarter was far over. </p>

<p>So, here are my questions. First, when is the earliest I could apply for admission to Cal, LA, and SD? I am assuming I am eligible for admittance to Cal a little later then LA and SD, but I want to make sure.</p>

<p>Second, will my status as being booted from the Fall Program for Freshmen, which is an Extension program at Berkeley, affect how my application to LA and SD is handled? Or do my grades in that program only affect my status at Cal? Take note that if you are admitted to the FPF, you are not admitted to the Fall 2007 semester but rather Spring of 2008.</p>

<p>Lastly, will UCLA and/or UCSD deny my application even if it barely meets the 2.0 GPA mark? Will my grades in community college affect the decision of the admissions office?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the help.</p>

<p>You are eligible to apply but that does not mean that they will accept you. I don’t think you stand a chance getting into any of those school. I’m not trying to be mean, but it’s true.</p>

<p>:O Was there no way for you to appeal to get back into UCB?
I know some people at UCD who were put on AP, continued to fail their classes, but appealed and were allowed to stay. </p>

<p>I don’t know if it’s too late, but there are some UCB sites that explain re-entry admittance procedures. Maybe you’ve already looked into that though.</p>

<p>Good luck, dude!</p>

<p>Well I had tried appealing to UCB but got denied admission to the Spring semester anyways.</p>

<p>Why don’t I stand a chance? I had already been accepted as a high school student.</p>

<p>If you were disqualified from attending for Spring- wouldnt that just put you on Academic Disqualification for a Semester and you could then reapply and re-enroll in the upcoming fall? Wouldnt you simply have to apply but not for admission - just solely to be allowed a registration time and so on? </p>

<p>Basically if you are only disqualified from attending in the Spring- why cant you attend in the fall? unless you got kicked out completely. In which case that would look really bad come application time post community college.</p>

<p>Why would they care if you got in out of high school? You haven’t exactly demonstrated ability to deal with college level work. Don’t think that because they accepted you before, they’ll be tripping over themselves to get you to go there.</p>

<p>mattn// That’s exactly what I’m saying!</p>

<p>benitolim// There are tens of thousands of applicants who have excellent grades and potential. You, however, not once but twice failed to prove yourself in college life. Barely having 2.0 GPA won’t stand a chance among those applicants who have over 3.5 GPA. If you can bring up your GPA and try transferring as a junior, you might have a chance. But, you gonna have to study your ass off and get straight As from now on.</p>

<p>Geez, you guys are harsh. Honestly, I suggest you contact the admissions office of the school you plan on going to and ask them about this. Even if they reject you, it’s not the end of the world. At least you’ll know you tried. Besides, community college may be a better option for you to complete your lower division classes without the social scene interfering with your academics. Keep a high GPA and you’ll pretty much be guaranteed admission depending on what your major is. Good luck! :)</p>

<p>We are harsh, but he just doesn’t give me the vibe of someone that would get it if we weren’t.</p>
