| Hi locknload. Well, here's my main concern: I know that all colleges these days are cut-throat. But how competitive, exactly, would you say UCLA is? First off, it's incredibly difficult to get in (ok, maybe i exaggerated a bit), on top of the fact that it's an intellectual place. You know how a lot of highschools are known to be harder/difficult than others in the same neighborhood? Well, do you think UCLA is one of those universities where the grading/teachers/curves do more harm to the student than good? Are there a good number of "easy" teachers, or are easy teachers just a HS thing that we'll never find again at the college level? Basically, i don't want to make the same mistakes as I did in H.S. : that is, taking hard classes w/ hard teachers and then wrecking my GPA. (I'm up for a challenge of course, but not if that means getting crappy grades all over the place)... Please, just describe in general your experiences with easy/hard courses and teachers and what effects they have on your GPA. Thanks so much. |
