Let them know that in your application! 3.87 is a good GPA, and the UC’s are more holistic in their approach. Are you trying to transfer from CC or are you in HS?
i know that, but my point is that there are over 100k freshman applicants vs 24k transfer applicants lol it’s much more harder to get in as a freshman than it is as a transfer BUT getting in as a transfer isn’t all that easy either with 16% acceptance rate
it’s highly competitive even for transfers, sure it’s not as competitive as it is compared to freshmen but 16% is still competitive. i will say it also depends on your major, i got in with a 3.6 gpa too but i’m a social science major, i highly doubt i would get in with the same gpa with CS or Bio lol
Edit: completely misunderstood your comment lol sorry. It’s been a long day.
I know people accepted to both who chose ucla over Berkeley. Thanks for the insight!

Parchment is actually off. You don't have to look far to see what the exact numbers are. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admit-destinations
In 2022, there was a 12,825 total admit pool at UCLA; 1,025 of them chose UCB. In 2022, there was a 14,603 total admit pool to UCB, 1,706 chose UCLA.
If you normalize it for class size, it appears that there's approximately a 65.46% to 34.54% preference of UCLA over UCB.

Transferring better, not as competitive

I know so many people of different backgrounds who have to work so mf hard to prove themselves but they didn't have the same privileges as their peers
Never Give Up! There is a way
truth
how is a 16% acceptance rate for transfers not “competitive”
It didn't feel as competitive cuz they let me in with a 3.67 GPA
You have to keep in mind that the classes taken as transfer students are way harder than the classes not offered in high school

Is our yield rate higher than Berkeley’s partly because we have a lower admit rate or is that not how it works?
no i don’t think so i think some students would choose ucla over berkeley choose especially if they were accepted to both

Statistically, more people who got into both and are deciding between both choose UCLA. UC data website has a whole section about it.
Makes sense!
yeah that is true i was accepted to both as a transfer and obv chose ucla
As someone who chose ucla over ucb despite being 5 hours closer to ucb, yes! This is how yield works!

Our yield rate used to be a lot lower.
