A Day in the Life of a UCLA Transfer Student

Welcome back to another college lifestyle video! Today, I join Steven and Tamoor to experience their new lifestyle as recent UCLA transfer students. Unfortunately, they didn’t have classes I could attend, but I had the chance to try some of UCLA dining, go to their small gym, and tour the campus a bit.

I was looking at the Xfer cohort to UCLA for 2021, with respect to Steven's and Tamoor's entering class, and there were stepped up 25th/75th percentile gpas by the class as a whole. In 2020 it was 3.67/3.94, with a midpoint (not median) of 3.79, and in 2021 it was 3.78/4.00, with a midpoint of 3.89. So a lot of xfers are trying to find the easiest pathway in which to be admitted, because Engineering, Life Sciences, Bus Econ/Econ, and the various math majors like Stats and Data Theory have midpoints of 3.9+ with the 75th being 4.0. Even Sociology has a 3.83/4.00 or midpoint of 3.91. So a lot of students are trying to "game" admissions by choosing Soc, and use it as a predent, prelaw, or even premed vehicle. My question -- sorry for the verbosity -- is what are Steven who's majoring in Asian American Studies and Tamoor using their majors for? Good luck to you all...

Steven plans on helping his community in various ways once he graduates. I believe Tamoor intends to join the working industry shortly after graduating under his major.

Amazing video! May I please ask what your stats were when applying to ucla as a transfer?

[@theflamboys]

thank you! I'm only aware of his 3.9 GPA standing at CC!

[@gorrilazshocklol2185]

Where did he transfer from and what was his gpa

[@theflamboys]

Hey! He transferred from Cosumnes River College (Los Rios) and had a 3.98 GPA

Hey I am studying at mcgill university in canada with aerospace engineering . Does ucla have aerospace engineering bachelor's and is there a possibility that I can get full scholarship in ucla as an international student including meal housing and studies tution? My status now is international, but I am studying in canada and my current cumulative GPA for 2 years in aerospace is 4.13/4.3. And as transfer student is only my university transcript is enough or they need more?

[@theflamboys]

hello Amanuel! I am not too certain about their requirements, but you seem very qualified in your standing. They have aerospace bachelor's (undergrad) program and it is within possibility that you can get partial to full scholarship to waive your tuition and costs provided further qualifications and status, especially since you are already two years into it, you have a strong position when it comes to applications. Your transcript is more than the bare minimum, but it may come down to your essays.

[@SkyHighemanuel]

@@theflamboys Thank you for your information. When I see their tuition, It costs 70000$ for me( since I am an international)a year to study aerospace engineering at UCLA including everything. Back when I was in high-school getting admitted to Californian University was my dream,but tuition restrain me to attend to these universities and choose canada as my final study destination.Having scored 1530 SAT score and 116 in tofel, I got accepted to uc Berkeley, but still they ask me to pay 35k$ a year which I left the university behind. So as a transfer student my current university transcript like you tell me is enough to transfer to UCLA ,but the problem still I have is, it is all about money which I can't afford their tuitions. Thus based on your experience is the ucla story could be different to Uc Berkeley and you're motivating me to transfer or finish my Canadian university and maybe to apply for masters?

[@theflamboys]

@@SkyHighemanuel I definitely think it can be a toss-up when it comes to the University of California admissions system. Your statistics are promising, but I would also be concerned about the costs as an international student since many I know struggle with the absurd tuition fees. I'm assuming this is with some sort of financial aid coverage too, so that is a tough decision to make unfortunately. I would definitely recommend speaking to other sources, and other international students currently attending the university to reach out and hear their perspective. Maybe on reddit threads? Best of luck regardless though
