<p>Hey guys …
I am Mechanical Engineering major from CCC … I am a returning student with 5 years of work experience (never went to college, started job right after high school due to financial constraints and I am a recent immigrant, came to USA about a year ago). Time is a major factor for me and I had to transfer as soon as possible, which’ll take me 3 semesters to complete all my pre-reqs. and had to support my self financially so had a part time job as a Physics lab technician at my community college. This pace and busy scheduling did not allow me to focus 100% on my studies and my GPA suffered, by the end of this Semester I’ll end up with 3.4-3.5. I’ve already applied for admission and hoping to get in UCSB or UCI for Mechanical Engr … Are my stats good enough for transfer to UCI or UCSB ?? … or my GPA is too low for these schools ??</p>
<p>Did you complete Mechanical Engineering 14, 16 and Engineering 3??
Assist says the gpa should be a 3.4 in the required and recommend courses
Is the 3.4-3.5 your major gpa or uc?</p>
<p>3.43 will be my major GPA … around 3.55 my UC GPA … only Engineering 10 is available at my college … which I will finish next semester. For UCSB I’ve finished all the required classes, plus Chem 1B and 1BL, Math 5b and 5c (will be done by next semester) and even physics 3 and 3L (will be done by next semester) …</p>
