Transfer results from a 27 year old nontraditional student
I previously applied to all the UC’s last year and got rejected from all accept UCSC. I changed my major from CS to DS and for some Cog Sci. Overall my stats weren’t the best but enough to get these results:
Academics : 3.72 ccc gpa, 7/10 PIQs, 10/10 ECs, 4 associate degrees, 4 paid internships.

It was really always down to the NorCal schools, I applied to LA and SD for shts and giggles, I never planned on going there. After the Berkeley rejection I only considered UC Davis and UC Merced. Ultimately UCM felt more supportive, it feels new and upcoming. I’m a first gen so they treat us well there and I can’t wait to join research and clubs. I also have my own car so I can go any where in the valley. I’ve never been to Yosemite so I hope I can visit often while studying and on break.
Go Cats!!
