Winter admission for out of state transfer to Santa Cruz- questions!

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>I’m interested in applying to SC for the winter, and I’m an out of state community college student. My GPA should be about 3.7 by the end of the summer and I will have 60 credits by the end of the fall semester. I want to do legal studies or anthropology. </p>

<p>Do you think I would have a shot?</p>

<p>Do they have a foreign language Gen Ed requirement for transfers (I can’t seem to be able to find it on the site)?</p>

<p>Also, what is the school like socially?</p>

<p>Yeah there is one semester of foregin language required. You need to complete IGETC which is the GE requirements for community colleges (this includes foreign language) and complete your major prerequisites you will need to find out what classes at your college will satisfy these requirements. A 3.7 GPA is good for UCSC however it is much more difficult for out of state transfer students.This means even if you have a good GPA a California Community College student that is not half as Qualified as you will still be given preference in admission. Just do the best you can even if the odds are against you, it will most likely be a crapshoot in admission.</p>

<p>did you take any foreign languages in HS? I believe the standard is that 3 years of foreign language in HS eliminates the requirement for transferring…at least thats how it is for CCC’ers. You should check with an admissions rep for that one. Off topic but cool boardname to the poster above me. big lebowski rocks!</p>

<p>I completed high school overseas, and while I did do 3 years of a foreign language, it was in 7-9th grades. These don’t appear on my transcript. I wouldn’t be able to test out either. How frustrating. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help. If anyone else has some advice or comments, please let me know!</p>
