UCLAtransfer09

I was accepted as a transfer for Fall 09, however, there have been several changes to the classes listed on my application.

On my app, I was supposed to have finished 60 credits/IGETC/all prereqs by the end of Spring 08. And then I got mono...and dropped my courseload down to 3 classes.

Meaning, now I will have 60 credits/IGETC/all prereqs completed by the end of the summer session at my CC.

I plan on reporting this on Tuesday (the first available day to report changes on the admitted students page)

Will this adversely affect my admissions offer? Or will UCLA defer my admissions offer? I'm not sure what to think!

chibi_loopi,

Housing is generally based on an arcane system that lacks rhyme or reason. Your best bet is to cross your fingers and see what you get. Odds are, though, that you'll get some in the 20-range.



ball in close proximity,

I had a goofy smile on mine. I wouldn't push it too much, though.

I saw someone whose photo was him with this huge handlebar mustache. That's about the craziest I saw. Most people are too tired the morning of the picture to care.

thanks ari. here's another question:

so now that ive been admitted to UCLA, if i took another class at another community college during the summer to fulfill a major prereq not offered at my school, does it matter what grade i get? say i get a C.... will i be okay?

I got admitted as an art history student but really want to double major in psychology as well.

On ASSIST that it says: "Transfer students must be admitted as Pre-Psychology
majors in order to major in Psychology. Students originally admitted under other
majors will not be permitted to change their major to Pre-Psychology or
Psychology or to double major in Psychology."

Is there anyway around this? Or is it pretty much set that a double major in psychology isn't allowed if you were admitted for another major? Thank you in advance!

"Studio - One occupant: Glenrock, Landfair, Margan, Gayley Towers, & Glenrock West units"

These are the most expensive, but are they the nicest? I put single studio as my top choice but are they in high demand? I do not want to room with someone, that is an absolute priority. Are there other housing options in Westwood I should look into?

can you explain what a usual class at UCLA contains as in length, size, etc.? I was looking at the schedule of classes and under the description it says "3 hours lecture, 1 hour discussion", what does this mean?

sweetnezz998

also, is there anything you can me about the honors program? is it substantially more difficult or even worth doing?

UCLAri

sweetnezz998,

The average lecture for a lower-division class will be over 100 students. A discussion is a smallish meeting with a TA (about 15 to 20 students per hour) to review the lecture material and discuss with the TA.

The honors program is not that much more difficult, and it does let you take some interesting courses. However, I do not recommend doing it only for the gold seal on your diploma. Take it if you want to do some fun courses and maybe challenge yourself a bit more.

sweetnezz998

thank you so much, is the lecture class 3 hours long at once or is it split up into smaller intervals? and does every class come with a discussion component?

Ari or any other people who are in a 4-year:

do you have any experience with organic chemistry and/or biology series?

if so, what was your experience like? how difficult were they? why do a good portion (35-40% from what I hear) drop out of these classes?

UCLAri

sweetnezz,

Sometime it's 3 hours in a day, sometimes it's two 1.5 hour intervals. My experience was that the latter was more common.


tranfermeup,

A lot of people drop o-chem because it's difficult. That's really all there is to say about it.

chibi_loopi

I'll repost my question for you.

I understand that my CC gpa matters a lot but a C will just make it drop (assuming I get a 4.0 this semester...which im on track to do) back to what it was when i got admitted, a 3.75. lol

So...UCLA college of L&S requires 60 units of upper div classes for graduation. If an upper div class qualifies as a GE class as well, then one can apply it to this 60 units in addition to GE requirements, right?

sweetnezz998

how do you go about declaring a minor?

UCLAri

chibiloopi,

It'll be fine. One C won't keep you out.


dasherwinator,

I'm under the impression that you'll need to apply lower div units for GEs, but if that's not the case it's usually okay to "double dip." Your mileage may vary, however, so always double check with a counselor.


sweetnezz998,

You walk into the department office and say you want to declare it. That's seriously all there is to it.
