Is it easier to enter UC as an undergraduate or a graduate?


I'm almost done with my community college, but I'm currently still deciding between the following two:

1. First, I could go to a CSU. I could obtain my BS in another discipline by June 2009 and then attend UCLA/UCSD for my MSN - and be completely done with school by June 2011.

2. Or, I could try to transfer to UCLA now and get my BSN by June 2010 and end it there.

The thing is I'm not even sure I could get into UCLA as it is. I currently have a 3.06 GPA. I suppose I could raise it by June 2008, but I have to send in the application by December 2007. Does anyone know if I have a better chance at UCLA as an undergraduate student or as a graduate student? What are the requirements for going into UCLA as a graduate student anyway? What is the minimum GPA? Do we need to take any tests? I can't seem to find anything on its website.

(Sorry for rambling. I'm a little nervous now.)

Default Re: Is it easier to enter UC as an undergraduate or a graduate?
I would check their website for most of your answers. However, my adviser at the JC before I transfered to a CSU told me that people that apply from a JC have a better chance at getting in than those that apply from a CSU. Also, if you are trying to get into UCLA as a BSN your are an undergraduate, not a graduate. Your not a graduate until you get your masters. Most masters programs (at least UCSF which I am looking at for myself) require AT LEAST a 3.0 GPA. Many prefer a second language; preferably Spanish. There is a test you have to take to get into a master program;its the GRE http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/m...0022f95190RCRD
