<p>Does it have an low admission rate?</p>

<p>I’m also not sure of which CC to choose ; SBCC or SMC</p>

<p>According to assist.org</p>

<p>For SBCC</p>

<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: SBCC 12-13 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SBCC&ria=UCLA&ia=SBCC&oia=UCLA&aay=12-13&ay=13-14&dora=COMP+SCI]ASSIST”>http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SBCC&ria=UCLA&ia=SBCC&oia=UCLA&aay=12-13&ay=13-14&dora=COMP+SCI)</p>

<p>For SMC</p>

<p>[ASSIST</a> Report: SMCC 12-13 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major](<a href=“http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SMCC&ria=UCLA&ia=SMCC&oia=UCLA&aay=12-13&ay=13-14&dora=COMP+SCI]ASSIST”>http://web1.assist.org/web-assist/report.do?agreement=aa&reportPath=REPORT_2&reportScript=Rep2.pl&event=19&dir=1&sia=SMCC&ria=UCLA&ia=SMCC&oia=UCLA&aay=12-13&ay=13-14&dora=COMP+SCI)</p>

<p>As you can see SMC nearly covers all the pre-reqs except for one while SBCC misses out four.</p>

<p>I was thinking is it really worth it for me to go SMC to give UCLA a shot?Will my chances be affected if I don’t fill the additional requirements as shown in assist.org?(Like SBCC vs SMC)</p>

<p>I heard SMC is packed so …yeah…Anyone willing to give me some advice?Thanks</p>

<p>Absolutely go to SMCC if the trouble, with respect to time and money, isn’t too great. You’re going to both have a better chance of getting in and you’ll be better prepared once you are in.</p>

<p>Errr you mean SMC?</p>

<p>Err sorry guys I forgot to add this.The reason I was thinking of SBCC is because of UCSB.I mean I won’t put my hopes too high on UCLA which I feel it will be definitely hard to get into(not to mentioned my major is Comp Sci).And about SMC I heard classes were difficult to get into,crowded and etc.</p>

<p>I’m an international student btw.</p>

According to this, in 2012 the admit rate to CompSci at UCLA was 4.5%, and the average admitted GPA was 3.8. Good luck with your decision!</p>

<p>You do have to consider, though, that the average GPA of applicants to CS was a 3.30. If he’s in-line with the average accepted–3.86–he’ll stand a fair shot with decent extracurriculars.</p>

<p>Very good point. I should clarify, I was not trying to put down the OP, I just included the information I thought was relevant.</p>
