I'll be applying there in the fall for the Masters in Clinical Nursing degree, Campus looks gorgeous and I hear nothing but good things about the school
@BigDaddyG13 Sorry, but you're wrong. In order to become a resident you would have to live and work in California for a year AND be a financial independent. It wouldn't even be worth it, plus I believe many student loans are based on financial dependency. Interesting how you can be positive on something you're not correct on.
@Grasshoppa065 ... How do you know im incorrect? I know exactly how to get instate tuition in california, I talked to a UCLA counselor myself, and I already knew in order to get residency I would have to work in California and pay taxes and be considered financial dependent. I also have friends who have done this method. Why did you not think I knew that? Interesting to see how you assume when you don't know what I already knew.
@BigDaddyG13 All I was saying was that it wouldn't worth it because you were asking how hard it was. The answer is it would be really hard, and you wouldn't get the financial benefits of being financially dependent. If you knew so much already then I don't know why you asked.
@Grasshoppa065 And once you are a resident in California, you DO recieve in state tuition, so there I proved my point because "you said it doesnt work like that." Also, when/if I get accepted into a california school I can defer an acceptance up to 1 year, and earn my residency, many do it, maybe you should read up on it young grasshoppa.(Pun intended)
@Grasshoppa065 I asked the question four months ago, and if you look, your first reply did not answer my question at all, and four months is a long time for me to find the answer and which I have already found the answer and know a lot about this topic now, furthermore, nice try trolling!
I am currently a sophomore. I just ended my freshman year with a 4.0 GPA, and when I took the ACT in April or May, I scored a 22. So, if I continue on this pattern throughout my remaining high school years, will I have a chance of getting into UCLA? I do not live in California.
i plan on going to UCLA dental school (if i get in) but i'm pretty nervous. with room and board it's like $50,000 a year right? :S that's more than twice what my parents make a year but i want to be an Orthodontist so bad
@Reiincarnation yeah its a grip... worth the education though. Just careful that you keep the debt down. I was able to get free food because I would always ask for swipes at the De nev plaze haha...
@geektar03 lol yeah it's just scary thinking about a $128k+ debt since my parents only make like $25k a year (i'm not gonna ask them for money, it's just scary)
Hi Ishbu101. I don't think that's how it works in California. UCLA still has rigorous standards for transfer students or those with AA degrees. I would tell anyone wanting to go to UCLA just to get the best grades they possibly can. It's getting tougher and tougher to get in.
Ha, so there's a loophole...just get an associates from community college and you're a shoe-in to UCLA...that's how it works in Florida where I'm from...USF always takes transfer students...wish I lived in Cali so I could go to UCLA though...
How important are test scores to them? I have a high gpa, took 3 ap classes, wrote a good essay, but I did HORRIBLE on the ACT (I scored a 16). So are test scores a huge factor they consider?
i love UCLA!!!! i am going to be a senior this fall, and i plan on going to Chaffey College and transfer to either UCLA or UC Berkeley, but most likely UCLA. i am so nervous. how likely is it that i would be admitted to UCLA as a junior? is it really hard to transfer? an experienced response would be helpful!
I transfered in as a junior to UCLA. I found that it was easier and cheaper to do it that way. However, you still need to have a pretty good GPA from your community college.
@IndianaJen17 What else do I need beside a good GPA from community to get into UCLA?What can I do to help my chances?Also,the economic crisis has been really hard on my family and I don't think my parents can fund my education indefinitely..What would your advice be for someone with limited resources?
Hi GiiPSY28! If you are transferring to UCLA, you will not need to take the SAT. However, if you are going in as a freshmen or have below 60 semester units (90 quarter units), you might need to take the SAT.
I just finished my freshman year at a community college with a 3.72 GPA and I plan on transfering after my associates degree I plan on getting a 4.0 my next 2 semesters. What are my chances of being accepted into UCLA?
@IndianaJen17 Hi, I'm an international student from Malaysia and would like to start as a freshman in UCLA. I'm currently studying A-levels and I understand that I'd need to sit for the SAT to be eligible to apply. How high must my SAT score be and do my A-levels results matter?
Your reply would be very much appreciated! Thanks!
@Javier234879 As long as you are above a 3.5 and your major is not impacted and you finish your IGETC you should be fine. If your major is impacted you have to have a 3.7 or 3.8 to be competitive. Plus you must have good extra curricular activities and a really good personal statement.
@Javier234879 Hi, well a little late but never late for important information like the one I am about to show you. For california community college students, there's a program called TAG (Transfer Admissions Guaranteed) which enables any california community college student to transfer to any UC/CSU of their choice with exceptions of certain UC/CSU prerequisites. I transferred from San Bernardino Valley College to University of California, Riverside with ease with a 3.0 GPA. look it up.
If you live in CA, you can go to any community college. I would suggest getting an IGETC which will tell you which general education classes will transfer into UCLA or any other UC or State school.
@Joserpillarramos1 Any community college in California will give you the same opportunity to transfer to LA. At the community college I go to, UCLA offers an increased likelihood for acceptance if the student completes the honors program at the CC. You could call around your area to find out if any schools in the area have similar contracts. That said, I got into UCLA without completing the honors program, so it is in no way a requirement for acceptance.
last year in freshman year i did horrible and the first semister in my sophmore year i did the same...if i get straight a's from now on (which im currently trying to do) will i still be able to get into collages like this and score high in my SAT?
The good news is that UCLA and many other colleges take a holistic approach to the admissions process. This means they look at your grades, SAT scores, admissions essay (any hardships you have overcome), and extracurriculars. With that being said, it is a very very difficult school to get into. But, you could do what I did: go to a community college and then transfer in (it's easier and cheaper!) :)
@dhig555 i think the average gpa of accepted freshmen usually averages at around 4.15. it is much easier to get in through a community college. My college has a transfer alliance program with ucla for students who complete the honors program there. We get priority consideration for admission.
I really love the pictures you have posted. I hope that in the future ill be going to UCLA because thats where my hero went (Jackie Robinson) and my dream is to go there.
Hi Viva! Thank you for the feedback. Most of the detailed information I fact checked from UCLA's website. However, some of the information I received when I went to school there as an undergrad.
