I am a Political Science major and my cumulative GPA is 2.74.I am applying for transfer this year. I would like to know what should I do to become competitive for UCLA. For the first quarter, I did not do so good, I received an F in my computer science programming course(I was originally a computer science major but switched in winter),but for winter quarter, I received a 3.2 quarter gpa. For Spring, I received a 3.4 quarter GPA. Will UCLA automatically reject me if I decide to apply, or should I say in the personal statement that had trouble understanding the concepts and that I was overwhelmed living away from home and I had trouble adjusting. Please, I need some advice as to what I should do to get admitted into UCLA. Any advice would be most helpful. If you can, please tell me what classes I should take or what UCLA looks for.
