Omg ofc 😊 thanks for watching and congratulations on getting in!!! 🎉

@@alisahuang tysm!!

Hello! Thank you for your comment ☺️ yes, I went to a community college first and then transferred. I went to community college and I took 3 years to graduate (initially, I was a business major and changed to nursing at the end of my first year). In order to complete my prerequisites, it took me a little longer than the general average of 2 years. I think it’s a great idea! I may be biased because this is what I did haha but I truly think it was the best way for me! Not only is it more affordable, cc usually also have smaller sized classes so I got the time I needed with my professors. I graduated my cc with an associates degree in health sciences, and if you want to get into ucla as a nursing major, it doesn’t matter what you graduated your cc as long as you completed the prerequisites! If you meant that you wanted to get into ucla as a biology major (not nursing) that’s also a great idea too ☺️ Let me know if you have more questions! I hope this helped! TLDR; I transferred from a CC and I loved my experience!

@@alisahuang was it competitive to transfer into ucla nursing? also did you take the exact prereqs required for ucla or was it for other schools as well?

@@chickendinoss i would say so! the percent acceptance rate is "higher" at like 5%, but they only accept about 10-15 transfer students, and even then it's still a one-digit acceptance rate. In terms of switching majors, I don't know anyone who did that and got into the School of Nursing. I applied to other schools (like UCI and CSULB) so I completed other prerequisites too! But I made sure I completed everything on the prerequisites & whatever was on assist.org (not only the required ones but even the ones that only said they were "(strongly) recommended") for all of the schools I applied to. In my experience, I think UCLA requires a decent amount of prerequisites, but UCI required the most (out of the schools I applied to). I hope this helps! let me know if you have more questions <3

@@alisahuang hello again! sorry for the questions. i've decided to go on the cc route and doing nursing. i'm not really sure if i want to be a nurse but it has the same recommended classes as a public health major. is majoring in nursing at ucla hard? also can you explain more on how you stand out among other applicants (about clubs & stuff, i can't find any volunteering experience that is related to medical). thank you!

Ooo sorry I just saw this! My short reply is: yes it’s super difficult to get into nursing at ucla! Once you’re in, it’s still not all easy As either. I personally don’t think good grades are what makes me a good nurse, but I also want to make sure to be a nurse that knows what she’s doing. To answer the second part of your question, I’m planning to make a video abt it too, but a few things I personally did that (I think) made me stand out was that I started a nursing club at my cc (bc we didn’t have one), I was President for my cc honors student council and I worked as a dental assistant (not nursing but still healthcare related). I know other people who come from very different backgrounds and not everyone has a background in healthcare. While some were EMTs and CNAs, some people never worked in healthcare at all.

Hi! Thank you for commenting and this is such a valid question!! Hm I’m no admission officer but I’ve heard that (for example even in job apps) if you don’t think it’s going to “help” you, then a lot of people just don’t put it down at all. “In the end, it’s not required, so it shouldn’t really matter anyway” - is some things I’ve heard before!! I hope this helps ☺️

AHAHAHAHAHA thank you 🫶 it’s all thanks to you all ✨

I love the Ackerman restaurants too! didn’t know I could get lunch at the med cafe lol I’ll def check it out!!

Thank you ☺️ oh that’s awesome! Yes, you can have picnics on those grassy areas 👍 I hope you enjoy your LA trip ✈️

have fun

Hi hi!! First of all, Congratulations!! I’m very excited for you !! I was also pretty nervous because I wanted certain classes (my major requirement courses didn’t fill up quick tho so it was just for my GE classes that I was nervous about). Since we have to navigate a new website it might be intimidating at first ,, BUT your NSA (new student advisors (? I think)) will be able to guide you and walk you through!! My registration went pretty smooth because I already knew what “easy” GEs I wanted to take (so I had like 2 or 3 back ups just in case). I think I couldn’t get one of them so it was nice to have another back up class that I was still interested to take!! The process will be explained at your orientation and the NSA will explain what to click and where to find your courses before your actual registration happens!! Let me know if you want a more detailed answer !

@@alisahuang thank you so much! Your reply was really helpful! I was mainly worried about registration since it seemed difficult for incoming transfers but this helped me ease my worries. Thank you again!
