I am an international student in UMass Lowell and will finish 80 credits after 2015 spring. I have a GPA of 3.578 and major in corporate finance. I know it’s a little complicated to transfer from east to west, especially when I’m an international student. But I think I just want to try and see if I can get into a better school.
First, stupid question, does UCLA has corporate finance major? if not, what major should I apply for? since I couldn’t find out what business major does it have. On top of that, my English is not very good because English is not my mother tongue, and I am so worried that I can’t come up with a killer personal statement. I thought I have a pretty good GPA but after I went through the forum, I realized my GPA is actually pretty bad comparing to those who have 3.7+ (I even saw 4.25, is that even possible?). I ace most of my core class but i suck at general educations, such as science, so the grade from gen ed weighted down my GPA.
I am not very active in school activities but I am a business tutor in school and I am a member of APICS, does these help boosting the chance to transfer to UCLA? Moreover, am I getting to late to transfer since I am going to finish 80 credit after spring?
I am sorry that my question are all over the place.
