I am a community college student in California and I am thinking of applying to UCLA as a transfer and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me if you think I've got a good chance.

I have a 3.98 college GPA, I work 25-40hrs/week, and I'm vice president of the Spanish club.

I don't know how much highschool counts, but I had something like a 3.7 GPA, took a lot of AP classes, worked, was involved in Interact club (community service) got 1300 on my SATs and I think 27 on ACT. I have decent SAT II scores, but don't remember exactly what they are.
Think I'll make it???? Thanks!

well ur HS doesn't matter.

Acceptance to UCLA from a cc is easier if u were in a scholars program.

Have u done IGETC?

How many units have u done?

But UR GPA IS great.

At UCLA, transfer chances depend largely on your major and how many lower-division classes you've completed for it. Additionally, acceptance varies immensely between majors, and it all depends on how impacted and selective your major is. However, your GPA is fantastic and gives you an awesome chance in whichever major you choose to apply for.

Make sure you stay under about 80 units by the end of spring semester, as having too many qualifies you as a senior and disqualifies as a junior level transfer (this probably isn't an issue, but it's good to be aware of anyway). Id also suggest making an appointment with a counselor this month so they can look at your specifics and let you know where you stand. The counselor should also look over & help with your essays, as they weigh heavily in the decision process.
