<p>What do they want in an application?</p>

<p>What are big factors?</p>

<p>Personal Statement?</p>

<p>Course Criteria and Patterns?</p>

<p>Also, does it look good on my transcripts if I took courses for my major (Lower-Division) that aren’t required (Assist.Org)</p>

<p>For Example, UCSB wants only one Shakespeare class for major classes (English Major) And I took multiple English Courses that are supplementary for my major like American Lit. and World Lit. </p>

<p>Does that look good or bad on my profile? </p>

<p>The main things are general ed completion, major preparation, and GPA (also what type of transfer student you are, for example ccc, out of state, UC-UC, or international). Then secondarily, depending on the campus, comes personal statement, ECs, and other aspects that can play varying roles.</p>
