What criteria is UCLA looking for in a transfer student?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I applied to UCLA as a (in state) transfer student for the Fall 2009 quarter.</p>

<p>In terms of GPA, and courses completed for a BUSINESS ECON major (high impact).</p>

<p>I currently have a 3.78, and according to ASSIST I’m only one class off, if I were to TAG with UCLA. I have not completed MATH 1B (equivalent to the second quarter of Calculus), but I do plan to complete it in the summer quarter.</p>

<p>Does any one have any idea what else they may be looking into?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I am guessing completing igetc, classes on assist for your major and a high gpa.</p>

<p>TAP could help. There is no such thing as Transfer Admission Guarentee (TAG) for UCLA.</p>

<p>since business econ. is such an impacted major it will be hard to stand out against a bunch of applicants that have a high GPA and all of their pre-reqs completed because you are missing one and i believe your GPA is below the average. hopefully your criteria will outweigh that factor, such as a great essay or outstanding ec’s. you are too late to TAG now if you have already applied which is what i am assuming by you saying you applied for this upcoming term.</p>

<p>best of luck to you though. it seems you have good stats, is UCLA your only option?</p>

<p>ucla doesn’t let you use summer to finish pre reqs. I don’t think you’re getting into econ without finishing calc 2 by end of spring.</p>

<p>You asked what does ucla look for in transfer applicants and this website says it:<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/tradms.htm[/url]”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/Adm_tr/tradms.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>one of the criterias: “Progress towards completion of major preparation requirements by spring prior to transfer”</p>
