<p>So I’m gonna be attending Glendale Community College this August and I’m interested in transferring to UCLA or USC at the end of the 2 year program, or if possible one year.</p>
<p>I’m just wondering what are the specific educational and other requirements needed to get accepted into UCLA or any other university in california for that matter? </p>
<p>I’m a sports person, will this hinder my chances of getting accepted into university? Do they only look for students who are like smart to the bone education wise? I’m not saying I’m stupid, but you get what I mean.</p>
<p>I’ll be studying Business Administration and should I get accepted into University, I’ll be studying Sports Management. </p>
<p>Oh and, I dropped out of school after 10th grade to play football (soccer) in the UK. However I have my highschool diploma via GED. My GPA during highschool wasn’t the best, however my TOEFL score is pretty good (106/120) if this helps at all.</p>
<p>I’m assuming you are at GCC in California (GCC is also in Arizona so I get confused sometimes). If so [ASSIST[/url</a>] and [url=<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/tradms.htm]TAG[/url”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/tradms.htm]TAG[/url</a>] should answer most of your transfer questions. USC generally accepts courses that would transfer to an UC school and it has an [url=<a href=“https://camel2.usc.edu/articagrmt/artic.aspx]articulation”>USC-Articulation Agreement]articulation</a> agreement with USC.](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST) It shouldn’t matter that you are an athlete. It may help you actually, although do not expect it to help compensate if your transfer stats are less than ideal. I don’t know if you can realistically be accepted at UCLA after only one year at GCC. USC will take your high record into account until you complete 30 units or more at the time you apply for admission. If you apply after your sophomore year, then what you did in high school will matter significantly less if at all. Hope this helps a little. Good luck.</p>
<p>at the Assist page, it says that to transfer to UC, I have to complete 2 years of community college (which is the original plan), and have a GPA of only 2.4 and above? that seems extremely low. Does this also apply to UCLA? I mean, I heard UCLA was one of the top universities in California, and the states for that matter, and they only require you to have a GPA for atleast 2.4? </p>
<p>Also, will it help if I do a lot of volunteer work and just keep myself active?</p>
<p>Just take a look at that. For example the average GPA for Pre Business Economics was a 3.94.</p>
<p>I believe they just require you have a 2.4+ in order to apply. Having that doesn’t imply automatic admission. </p>
<p>The most important thing for the UCs are GPA. Then comes the Essay and Personal Statements and lastly EC’s and leadership roles.</p>
<p>Berkeley brakes it down as:</p>
<p>50% GPA
35% Essay and Personal Statement
15% EC’s and Leadership Roles</p>
<p>I guess this must be similar to UCLA’s breakdown. If you’re going to do volunteer work try to tie with what you plan on majoring. Plan on majoring on Education? Then volunteer as a teacher.</p>
<p>Another question, is it possible to transfer from a college in California to a university in Florida? Or is the transfer program only avaliable in the area of California?</p>
<p>**"Well I’m going to be studying Business in glendale, does that mean in order to get accepted to UCLA or any UC I have to get atleast 3.94 GPA?</p>
<p>The only reason I’m studying business is because my college doesn’t have sports management as a subject."**</p>
<p>You may not necessarily need a 3.94 gpa to get into UCLA. It depends on a lot of different factors (namely the ones dbroncos23 listed), none of which guarantees you admission. At least to the top three UC’s anyway. Strive for the highest gpa you can achieve. The higher, the better. Essays and extracurricular activities play a major role as well in admissions.</p>
<p>“Another question, is it possible to transfer from a college in California to a university in Florida? Or is the transfer program only avaliable in the area of California?”</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible to transfer from a college in California to a university in Florida. That is an incredibly vague question though. Check the transfer admissions page to which universities you are interested in to see the requirements. For example, University of Florida states specifically that they will only take transfers with 60 hours of semester credit. The IGETC won’t matter outside of Califorinia.</p>
