<p>For transfers UCLA only cares about GPA and the classes you’ve taken. Your GPA looks good, so all you’d need to do is finish as many of UCLA’s GE requirements and take as much lower division science as you can that would transfer to UCLA neurosci.</p>

<p>Therein lies the problem. It’s basically impossible to know for sure which of your classes will transfer unless you’re from a community college in CA. So really all you can do is take a look at the requirements and guess.</p>

<p>Also be aware that private and out of state universities are prioritized last for transfers. So keep that in mind.</p>
