OCC Transfer here... applied to ucla, uci, and ucsd. So far UCI has just asked me a for a transcript.. nothing from the others. Did bad my first quarter(2002) at UCD, but now am at a cc with a 3.95 gpa.

Korean that's pretty good. I got into some UC's (none of which you applied to) and I might consider going to community college to get into the good ones. Is that what you did? Also what are your extra curriculars or clubs?

Alpinesun: Is it easy to go from UC to CC? And when you transfer in do they see your UC enrollment?

Well since I'm in the process of looking into schools for transfer I've learned a couple of things. Like the other two I'm going to be a cc transfer to a UC school, hopefulyl for Fall 05 admissions. The trick that I've discovered if you want to know what the requirments are (and this does not apply to people who are film, engeneering, and a couple of other majors. As far as I know this pretains to Colleges of Letters and Sciences.) is that you go onto the website and get the minimuim for the school, then add .2 onto the GPA for what you really need.

For example UCLA wants to see a 3.25, however if you apply for transfer with a 3.25 you wont get in. The real minimum for admissions there is about a 3.45.

Get that add in a few EC's, and be sure to do a lot of major prep and you should (or at least I keep tellign myself) be fine!

Good Luck

my friend's sister had an interview for the ucla regent scholarship, but the ironic thing is, she was rejected from ucla. you'd think that she would've gotten accepted if she had had the interview. she ended up going to berkeley anyhow.

By Alpinesun (Alpinesun) on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 04:45 pm: Edit

going from a UC to a CC was easy for me. I went to my local CC and enrolled in classes that would start after i finished my second quarter at Davis.. then i just did some paperwork and left UCD after 2 quarters..
I think the UC's want like atleast 2/3 of transfer work to be done at a CC to be considered a CC transfer student

By Alpinesun (Alpinesun) on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 04:46 pm: Edit

and yes, they do see your UC enrollment, because you have to put ALL your grades on your application

By Tigerstyle (Tigerstyle) on Sunday, March 28, 2004 - 06:48 pm: Edit

Thanks, that's what I wanted to know.

By Korean (Korean) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 12:56 am: Edit

How is it possible for people who get offered for Regent Scholarship and then they get rejected??
what is the primary reason for that?
oh and yes i am from torrance
and for extra curricular activities , i just put some library and medical volunteers and some stuffs from high school and pretty much stuffs from high school for awards, too
but i had really special circumstances for my family circumstances, so i hope that is a plus.
can someone put more info about this UCLA Regent Scholarship too? i really wonder how they get rejected after an offer of such a scholarship?
thank you~~~^^

By Botheredone (Botheredone) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 02:25 am: Edit

The idiot who sent the acceptance letters sent out the automated email for the scholarship from the wrong list-- the list to those who didn't get it. Or specifically, *a* list who didn't. It's UC Davis specific and it's lame. Let's hope I get into UCSD, UCLA or UCB so I'll be able to look past it.

By Mocksimus (Mocksimus) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 02:31 am: Edit

Do they usually notify you at the time your acceptance is posted of your regents/chancellors scholarship standing? Or is it a seperate process?

just curious.

By Derbisblue (Derbisblue) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 09:44 pm: Edit

I am, i'm transfering from UC Davis --> UC Santa Barbara.

By Cvboy151 (Cvboy151) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 09:45 pm: Edit

Mocksimus- i haven't heard from either, but don't worry because I think that they just want to finish the freshmen and then they will move on to us. I think that by the end of this week they should start handing out more transfer admissiions. freshmen admittance ends tomorrow!!! yay!!!

By Roshogunate (Roshogunate) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 09:56 pm: Edit

I am a junior transfer from a community college (SMC) and have been accepted to UCI and UCSC. I am still waiting to hear back from UCSB, UCSD, UCLA, CAL.

By Mocksimus (Mocksimus) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 10:01 pm: Edit

damn I hope i hear soon UCI actually contacted me for my fall 2003 grades because of a problem with the UCOP WIP website. When were you accepted to uci and what is your major/gpa. I am from saddleback/irvine valley cc which ahs about the same rep as smc so im hopeful that my stats are competitive for uci/ucsd/ucla/cal, 3.6 all of assist done except one class.
Thanks

By Roshogunate (Roshogunate) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 10:32 pm: Edit

I got accepted to UCI March 19th, I found out online. My GPA is 3.7, taking my final class this semester, IGETC and Assist completed.

By Derbisblue (Derbisblue) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 10:39 pm: Edit

Roshogunate, did you hear from SB yet? What is your major?

By Roshogunate (Roshogunate) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 10:47 pm: Edit

My major is history, I have not heard from UCSB yet, I am checking everyday=still pending.

By Derbisblue (Derbisblue) on Monday, March 29, 2004 - 11:08 pm: Edit

With you stats i'm pretty sure you have no problem, I'm checking everyday too, so low =\ GOod luck!

By Lalala (Lalala) on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 12:16 am: Edit

Did the IGETC simultaniously satisfy General Ed. requirements for the individual colleges at the UC's say like Muir or Sixth College at San Diego?

By Mocksimus (Mocksimus) on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 12:46 am: Edit

lalala,
I am IGETC certified also it does not satisfy 2 of the college i beleive sixth and revelle but you can check their admissions and relations with schools. I know that it does however satisfy lower divison ge for 4/6 colleges

By Korean (Korean) on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 02:14 am: Edit

Can anyone who got accepted to both UCLA and UCSD or UCLA and UCB post their stats up??
because it seems like everyone is saying that it's impossible to get into both UCLA and UCB at the same time cuz of budget cut or something?
i am very curious to know
thank you very much in advance!

By Mocksimus (Mocksimus) on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 03:33 pm: Edit

Anyone have information on how you receive your regents/chancellors information as a transfer? And let me know if I have a shot at any scholarships at these campuses. UCR/UCI/UCLA/UCB/UCSD. I have a 3.6 gpa(opward grade trends)good EC`s, overcame some •••• as far as disabilities are concerned ( went from a 1.0 gpa to straight a`s)

By Puccagurl (Puccagurl) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 01:01 am: Edit

Errrr...i'm still waiting for uc irvine to post my decision. However i got accepted to ucd and ucsc so far. I have a 3.75 gpa and in the honors program and also got the TAP certification for ucla. Anyone else TAP? I hope i get in!!! So nervous...

By Jbe (Jbe) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 01:46 am: Edit

I was just rejected by Davis. I am totally stunned, I just cant beleive it.

A few months ago someone from Davis admissions called me on my cell phone and asked me to send her my latest Math grade (a pre-req. for the UC transferable course Im taking this semester...apparently to see if I passed the pre req., I did...got an A.)
There was a •••• up, and they didnt get the fax, she called me back and I sent it again the next day. I never heard back from her. I assumed all was great, and that I was in , no problem.

Maybe they never got the second fax?
What do I do? I'm so stunned.... I'm not even mad yet.......Ok, now Im pissed

By Kenken (Kenken) on Saturday, April 03, 2004 - 02:07 am: Edit
