University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

UCLAri, if you don’t believe that a UC doesn’t transfer over CC GPA even after the proof was given to you, why don’t you e-mail a UC admissions counselor or even your own CC counselor?

lostincode · April 18, 2007, 4:40pm

the new housing app:

those who think gpa doesn’t transfer are accepted
those who think gpa transfers are rejected

UCLAri · April 18, 2007, 4:41pm

I don’t believe it because I can look at my own transcript from UCLA and see that it’s not true.

Sweetny007 · April 18, 2007, 4:49pm

UCLAri, you are my hero. lol

For those who still believe that gpa transfers…think about your ccc. If I take classes at SMC and at Moorpark College I am not going to have one cumulative gpa. I am going to have two seperate gpa’s. Why would a UC be any different?

lostincode · April 18, 2007, 4:51pm

that makes no sense XD

mojojojo69 · April 18, 2007, 4:54pm

No you’re not. You are going to have 1 big cumulative gpa…

If you remember on the UC application, you put the school’s name, the name of the course and the grade…then with all your schools counted, your UC gpa will be calculated.

Same thing could be said for the UCBerk supplement. It asked for the number of units you got A, Bs, and Cs in…etc. then your gpa is calculated from that.

Just because you went to two separate schools dont matter when it comes to the application itself; because in the end, your cumulative gpa will be calculated from both schools.

Also, your UCLA gpa and your CC gpa will be cumulative (i.e. calculated cumulatively from both schools) when you apply to graduate school.

Sweetny007 · April 18, 2007, 4:58pm

Wow, ok on the UC app it asked you to fill out a gpa for EACH school attended. This is because SMC does not factor in grades I received at Moorpark. They are two seperate schools and their grading is independant of each other. A 3.0 at Moorpark will not bring down a 4.0 at SMC. In order to evaluate me as an applicant however a UC would calculate a cumulative gpa for me. This is only to evaluate me as an applicant. Just like when I apply to grad school they will take my gpa from ccc and my gpa from my transfer school and make one gpa. This does not mean I will start with a 3.9 (or whatever) in grad school.

“that makes no sense XD”
how so?

mojojojo69 · April 18, 2007, 5:00pm

yes it will in the application.

Sweetny007 · April 18, 2007, 5:01pm

Mojo, that is exactly what I said but we are not talking about the app. We are talking about after you are accepted. Here is the full quote:

“A 3.0 at Moorpark will not bring down a 4.0 at SMC. In order to evaluate me as an applicant however a UC would calculate a cumulative gpa for me”

mojojojo69 · April 18, 2007, 5:02pm

Yeah, i guess, but the way you stated it before made no sense, which is why lost said that…

Sweetny007 · April 18, 2007, 5:05pm

Hope the clarification helped.

thespifury · April 18, 2007, 5:53pm

when are UCLA decisions going to be posted? Do they plan on releasing them the same day as cal’s?

slim1610 · April 18, 2007, 6:21pm

I think it’s funny how some of you are so adamant on the fact that CC GPA does not transfer over when some people have gone out of their way to e-mail or contact admissions counselors.

UCLAri, congratulations on your great transcript. Whether or not it transferred over for you, the people who ATTENDED CC and are transferring to a UC and have contacted admission counselors to inquire have found that gpa does transfer over. In addition, I heard it from a TAG workshop for UCSD and from a UCSD counselor. Keep in mind, this is for UCSD, so if you guys are so curious about UCLA and CAL, go call the respective admissions counselors from those schools.

Lastly, I called an admissions counselor from UCSD and asked whether you get dropped or your admission revoked if you get a D or F. He said that’s the case only if it’s for the English or Math requirement, or if it affects your GPA badly. Someone, for example, can get an F in a GE requirement, but still maintain a 3.5. You’re fine.

But if you still don’t believe me, go call the counselor yourself. The phone number isn’t hard to find or hard to dial.

lostincode · April 18, 2007, 6:30pm

…

well I guess you’ll have to find out for yourself that gpa doesn’t transfer…

bobbak · April 18, 2007, 6:36pm

slim, thanks for the actual references from the counselors themselves. maybe it differs from school to school then.

also, im RELIEVED that getting a D or an F in a random course totally unrelated to my major should not have an impact on my admissions…or at least I hope so. I have A’s in all my pre-reqs for Poli Sci, so if i fail this stupid JAVA programming course(which i dont need for GE or anything) i hope, no, i PRAY, it wont affect me.

lostincode · April 18, 2007, 6:39pm

it doesn’t differ from school to school

every UC’s catalog says that your GPA is calculated from courses taken in the university of california, excluding extension courses

luvtoolearn · April 18, 2007, 6:42pm

Does it matter that the reply I posted re: GPA transferability came from the UC rep from the official UC website? I’m wondering why he emailed me that reply if it isn’t acurate, especially since it is his line of work to specifically answer transfer questions.

UCLAri,
I’m confused at how your transcript reads…why does it say : “this is not a UCLA transcript”?
I’m not trying to be sarcastic, I have just never seen a UCLA transcript before only UCD and UCI so I am not understanding half of the coding on it.

slim1610 · April 18, 2007, 6:45pm

No, your e-mail is very much appreciated luvtoolearn. Thanks for actually trying to find out the correct information directly from the source

Yeah bobbak. You should be fine as long as its not major-related, not an English or Math requirement, and it doesnt bring your GPA down too much.

bobbak · April 18, 2007, 6:48pm

ugh, i just did some calculations and if i fail it will bring my gpa down by like .1
no bueno, considering it was only at a 3.3 when i applied
