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

<p>loving sd now too</p>

<p>Why is this thread alive??</p>

<p>If your major doesn’t require much math, do the UCs still want to see more math in your coursework. </p>

<p>I’m a Cognitive Science major and only 1 math class is required, in which I’ve completed, but I was just wondering if they want to see more math in my academics, or do they just base it on my prerequisites?</p>

<p>^ wrong thread =P</p>

<p>i miss the 07 thread! eventhough i got rejected to LA lol</p>

<p>I miss this thread too … we still had the best thread by far…look how many posts…lol,lol</p>

<p>wow…i’ve never thought people will still remember this thread</p>

<p>good stuff for last yr.</p>

<p>Current GPA: 3.6 with Honors program
Current School: Orange Coast College
Major: Business Administration
EC’s: International Business Club, Social Enterprise, Circle K
Work Experience: Farmers Insurance for 4 months, also started a home business buying and exporting exotic animals
Applying to: UCB, UCI, UCLA, USC, UCSD, UCSB with preference in that ordering</p>

<p>Try to get into Haas for UCB… Chances?</p>

<p>Sorry if im dragging up an old thread but it pulled up on a search, if any previous transfer students from a CC into Haas has any extra advice i’d gladly take it.</p>

<p>One more thing… This is what I got in the prereqs for Haas</p>

<p>Business 100 - A (took the Honors course)
Microeconomics - A
Macroeconomics - A
Statistics - B
Calculus - taking during winter
Foreign language/english requirement will be completed by spring for sure</p>

<p>And i’ll have a lot more units than I need (around 80 by the time I transfer thats not including my APs from HS which should toss in another dozen or so).</p>

<p>you have a low chance because of your overall GPA</p>

<p>I agree, it’ll be a very long shot with your GPA.</p>

<p>Would it help if i said that the reason the gpa is rather low is because of a 5 unit French class that I got a C in senior year of highschool? Expecting a 3.7 by end of my 3rd semester and it should have been 3.85+ if it weren’t for the french class. At the time I took it I wasn’t aware of the loopholes the college had and such so didn’t know any better. Would the Adcoms see that the 5 unit C in an unrelated business class is why my gpa is so low? Would they care?</p>

<p>It’s kinda hard to tell but I can tell you that bad grades are looked at less poorly the older they are. But again, the fact that it does hurt your cumulative GPA can be a problem. Just shoot for the highest GPA as possible by the time you send in your app and hope for the best. Not everyone who is accepted to Haas has a 4.0.</p>

<p>I believe I speak for everyone when I say this threads need to retire. Where’s the 2008 thread for all these people to post their comments?</p>
