My transfer GPA currently stands at 3.6, which will be a 3.7 by fall. What are my chances of getting into Cal or UCLA?
Answered

I am in the TAG program for CCC and plan to transfer in the fall of 2023. That said, I think that should help me out, at least for the middle tier schools like UCSB (the one I plan to tag), UCI, UCSD etc. I am also considering USC but that seems a little far-fetched.

I lack an extensive amount of EC’s but I am in a club at my CC, I work a part-time job and have some volunteer work. I’m also going to begin an internship w/ Raul Ruiz…

Let me know any feedback is appreciated on how I can strengthen my chances! :)

Hi @damiangaribay

Thanks for your question.

I read the TAG pdf requirements for UCSB and it seems like you are on track. I didn't read anything about fulfilling ECs so I'm 100% sure this is not applying from high school.

I think you have a very good chance to transfer to UCLA or UCB but I'm not sure your community college is in the UCLA or UCB tag program. So I would research those separately.

Here are the UCLA TAP program details.

Here are the UCB TAP program details.

Good luck with with this process and hope you get into your target schools.
