<p>Hello all, I am currently living in New-jersey, and going to a small cc called Brookdale. My grades are ok (3.7) currently I am a communications major, but would be willing to switch(TAG). Im the treasurer on the student government. I volunteer with First Aid Squad in my town, and are in charge of the cadets on calls. I am on the fiancee committee and run small groups for Model UN. I work as a trainer in my town, and have been a trainer since I was 16 years old. Can play guitar like no other, and row on my free time with a few friends. I am a really hard worker and aggressive when i need to be. what are my chances if i have any at all. Also how does residency work there for school, because i have a a lot of family that lives in california could i lie and say i have been living with them in the summers and off time ect… thanks!</p>
<p>Residency is much harder to prove than what you’re implying you are trying to do. </p>
<p>UCLA does not have TAG, and your grades are a little lower than average, making UCLA a low reach.</p>
<p>Very hard to fudge residency in CA for the university system. Saying you were here in the summers won’t cut it and the fact you were enrolled in a NJ school (and you will be submitting those records) proves you weren’t here. So that won’t fly.</p>

<p>UCLA is VERY competitive for regular admission and transfers. Here is transfer profile for this past fall:</p>

<p>You need at least a 3.90 to competitive for the communications major. Even if you had residency at California, your shot for UCLA is pretty much zero.</p>
<p>Consider a different major, you will not get into Comm with anything lower than a 3.90</p>
<p>I think you can still try applying, and look into TAP instead of TAG if that’s available for your major.</p>
<p>don’t you guys believe in miracles?!</p>
<p>3.89 is the average…meaning people get admitted below that GPA… my GPA was below the average and I was admitted…however, I was a CC transfer…but yeah, you never know!</p>
