a friend of mine majored in sociology. He told me that UCLA has like the best sociology department in the country. not sure if that’s true or not though.

Anyway, according to this:

[Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major, Fall 2009 - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof09_mjr.htm#PW)

the average Sociology major who applied had a gpa of 3.31. Unfortunately, the average admitted student had a gpa of 3.72 (those figures are from '09, the '010 equivalents are 3.34 and 3.75 respectively.) It definitely is a reach but it’s totally possible to get in. Just make sure your essay kicks butt and cross your fingers.

best of luck, hope to see you in UCLA sometime next year! : )
