UCI Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Anyone on the lower end of the GPA scale?? I’m at a 3.05 uc GPA and it feels like I might be the only one.

@CancelOut no sir. I have a 3.03. I hope that my upward trend in grades, ec’s, and essay help me get in. idk i’m very worried. what is your major?

@ayymig wow we’re on the same boat sorta. I applied as psych and social behavior and alt criminology.

Has anyone received a rejection letter? Ugh I have a 3.9 gpa …Gender Studies major…

@CSMan18 There were quite a few computer science acceptances - all last Friday. But today there was zero (on College Confidential, anyways).

My stats:
UC GPA (Transfer Academic Update): 3.32
TAG: No
IGETC: Completed during winter semester
Work experience
Volunteer experience
Low income (possibly EOP)

Not sure what my “major GPA” is since some of the courses from my CC don’t articulate with UCI even though they are exactly the same, so I’m not sure how they’ll calculate my “major GPA.” Anyways, my “CS major” grades are:

Math

[ul][]Calc I: A
[
]Calc II: A
[]Linear Algebra: A
[
]Discrete Math: IP[/ul]
C++

[ul][]Intro C++: A
[
]Object-Oriented C++: B
[]Advanced C++: A
[
]Data Structures & Algorithms C++: A[/ul]
Java

[ul][]Object-Oriented Java: B
[
]Advanced Java: IP
[]Data Structures & Algorithms Java: A[/ul]
Other

  • []Intro Assembly: A

@dylan13 you seem like a strong candidate, you give me hope they aren’t done handing out acceptances to CS majors :p. I wouldn’t worry if I were you!

@jazzdancer95 I received it today around 6pm

Still haven’t heard back and im really nervous. Its extremely late. Expecting a no at this point

SDSU student, all igetc done and a few major courses
3.28
deans list 2 years in a row, honor society, greeklife,part time job, premed
accepted:UCR UCLA
waitlisted:UCD(nutrition science) UCSC(environmental science
Declined: UCSb(environmental science)
Pending: UCI( Public health sciences)

I’m starting to lose hope. Have heard no criminology majors though but still my body can’t handle it anymore lol :((

@UCI6288 don’t lose hope! I was accepted as a criminology major on Monday night/Tuesday morning. Also, in my opinion my GPA wasn’t competitive.

So please give me your thoughts.

I am currently a straight A student, have gotten all As since returning to school, but have a bad academic history from over 5 years ago going back a ways. I am a sober alcoholic adult, back in school and now doing great ! Now I talked to the UCI rep and she told me to apply this Fall '15. I’m a Psychology transfer using IGETC, and getting an AA or AT they call it. My best option for transfer is UCI for numerous reasons, but my major would by Psychology and Social Behavior. Now like I said I have gotten all As, been essentially the highest grade in every class since I started again as a sober adult. I am in the National Honors Society for Psychology and am also in Phi Theta Kappa, I also do a good amount of volunteer work helping the less fortunate. Now for the not so shining news … my transferable GPA will be a 3.2 so assuming I can do a good job on the personal essays and really show that I have turned over a new leaf … What are my chances of admission to UCI for Psych and Social Behavior … be honest. Thank you !!! Also I’ve been reading these threads and of course wish each of you the best and am crossing my fingers for you as well.

@BackNSchool83 hey I think your chances are good an upward trend is always good. If you could try and boost your gpa in order to meet the tag requirements that would be ideal but still apply for TAG even if it isn’t for UCI! You should go to workshops and make sure in your personal statements you include your life changes. Make sure to get a couple different counselors opinions. Also make sure to pick an alternate major that is easier to get in as. Look into switching majors see if it’s possible and if not just pick an easier, less impacted, alternate major. Best of luck!

What is your major ? You got in with a 2.95 ? My personal statements and essay will be key I think, the UCI rep thought so.
