<p>When it comes to transferring, all we’re looking at is your GPA. We don’t look at extracurriculars for transfers. If you have a 3.5, you should be admissible; the minimum is a 3.0 for most programs.</p>
<p>In terms of credits, anything that’s from an accredited school (which UCLA is, and I’m assuming your CC is) that’s at least a C or better will transfer. (And if you have a 3.5, I’m assuming just about everything is a C or better.) There’s a transfer guide on our site (<a href=“http://www.stonybrook.edu/transfer/creditequivalencies.shtml[/url]”>http://www.stonybrook.edu/transfer/creditequivalencies.shtml</a>) for the local community colleges, so you can at least get an idea of how your courses will transfer.</p>
<p>There’s no limit on how many credits you can transfer; but there is a minimum number of credits you’ll need to complete here at Stony Brook for a degree (at least 36). So you might transfer in 90 credits, but if you still need 12 general education credits and 40 credits in your major, then you’ll graduate with 142 credits, even though you “only” need 120 to graduate. So it’s not as cut-and-dried as “I have 90, I need 30.”</p>
<p>I’d have to look at a transcript, then I’d be able to give you a better idea of what you need. If you have a lot of courses from your intended major, you’ll want to get in touch with someone from that department also, as they’re the ones who make the determination about what transfer credits will apply to your major.</p>
<p>Hope this helps; if you have other questions, let me know!</p>
