  • i know it's college acceptance season, so i wanted to share my ucla transfer experience + some college advice after first getting rejected from all the UCs back when i was in high school. this is the first time i've ever shared this publicly, but i hope my story can be of some help during your transfer process (and be a lil example that second chances do happen as long as u keep trying).
    good luck to everyone this college season, hope you end up joining the bruin family 💙

    This video gives me hope that I can somehow get into UCLA. I currently graduated High School a couple of months ago, and I'm planning to attend community college, and then transfer to UCLA.
    I'm a bit anxious about this conceptualization, considering that my High School G.P.A. was a 2.6. Hearing others who were fortunate enough to attend UCLA through transfer, who have also gone through something remotely similar gives me an iota of hope...

    Thank you for making this video. Funny and informative!
    Our family is going through admission results this year (2024) and also hearing from other families. It seems to be similar to your experience. It’s astonishing to see rejections even with strong high school transcripts. It helps to hear how you handled it!

    It’s so cool that you made it through your cc with such a high gpa… can you make another video about how it was at the cc and how you studied? I am about to go into cc in spring and my goal is to get into lab, but there really isn’t that much information about it on social media 😢

    GIRL I'M FINDING OUT FROM UCLA TOMORROW HELP 😭 (your videos always come at the perfect time) definitely about to get rejected ✋✋ buttt I'm not going there so thank goodness :) community college is honestly a great option!! I feel like they don't emphasize it enough at my school that there are other options other than a four year school 🙄 I didn't know they had a guarantee program - that's really great! UC Davis is my second choice cause of how close it is to home 😅

My hometown is Los Angeles so I’m just used to more. But there are super great things about Davis like the nature, farmers market, great people, etc.

    I am currently attending a cal state but my dream school is UCLA. However, I am already going to complete my sophomore year this semester, Do you think transferring to a community college for my junior year and doing the TAP program would be a good idea to get into UCLA for my senior year at least. PLS if anyone can assist with this question that be so helpful I am so confused on what to do lol.

    Did you do any extracurriculars? I just submitted my UC application and I’m worried that’s gonna affect my chances of getting into UCLA. I just volunteer 5 hours a week and tutor 5 hours a week right now.

    • @ReneeLai
      @ReneeLai  Рік тому +2

      that's great, don't undermine urself! during my 2nd year in cc, i only worked part time as an accounting assistant. i had done more extracurriculars when i was in high school, such as peer mentorship and volunteering at special need clinics. so i wrote those down in my application since UCs are understanding that students would be more focused on grades rather than extracurriculars since your time is more limited at a community college

      yes i most def did consider! i wanted to double major and do 3 years at ucla (and to also make the most of my college experience). but unfortunately the school tries to enforce students to graduate "on time" to maintain their graduation rates, so i wasn't able to stay longer.
