<p>Hello I am interested in transferring from Foothill College in California to UCLA as a Mathematics major (Pure). I am also applying to UCSB College of Creative studies this month. I will have not completed all the prereqs to apply to UCLA this year; I will the following year. I would like to know if the major is impact at UCLA. Also if anyone has any information concerning any of the two programs (UCSB College of Creative Studies-Mathematics and UCLA Pure Mathematics). Please and Thank You. Also sorry for asking about UCLA one year in advance, I am trying to create a schedule for next quarter and after. </p>
<p>Good for you for planning in advance! You don’t need to apologize! I am not sure I understand your plan though. You are applying to UCSB this month? Will you attend UCSB if you get in? And then go UCSB -> UCLA??</p>
<p>Here is the stats for the math majors <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13_mjr.htm#MN”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof13_mjr.htm#MN</a></p>
<p>Since they are all listed as ‘pre’ majors, I believe they are all impacted. This means that your will have to complete all the required prereqs to be competitive.</p>
<p>It is not impacted. Why don’t you apply to both? UCSB College of Creative Studies looks amazing! UCLA has an amazingly good Math program, and, in addition, is highly rated.</p>
<p>Well I am applying to College of Creative Studies this month because I do like the program and I will have not fully completed the calculus series. If I do not get in I will apply to UCLA next year; I took a huge variety of liberal art courses but I have not touched any sciences yet. </p>
<p>Oh, okay. I thought you were trying to go from CC to UCSB and then UCLA.</p>
<p>@ItsJustSchool why math is highly rated but not impacted at UCLA? do you know the actual GPA to apply for math dept. in UCLA? i looked at the profile transfer but it’s just average </p>
<p>I don’t know. I saw no indication that it was impacted and the acceptance rates seem fairly high. I just assumed that it is a bit self-selecting, since it is a difficult and esoteric (as opposed to engineering which could be seen as difficult, but straightforward, with an obvious career path) major to pursue, and the most obvious career path is through a Ph.D. at a top-20 school, to which it is hard to gain admittance. I would think it would be a turn-off to all but the most motivated students. They did not ask for any GPA above and beyond application to the University.</p>
<p>You are designated “pre-math” until you have completed all the lower-division requirements for the major; however, none of the upper-division classes are restricted to only math majors, so you could remain pre-math as long as you need to. I hope that helps!</p>
