My friend is going to the first one (i'm going to #2) and i know he's excited b/c he signed up way early and can't wait for FSSP.

yeah i'm curious too. i'm not a huge 'wait and see i want it to be a suprise' gal. not when it comes to stuff like this.

it seems like this year they changed it to 2 days SPOP. I attended SPOP 2 years ago (man it seems like a long time ago lol), it was a 3 days SPOP and it was one of the best things ever....all the cheers, random games, inside jokes, talent show, attacking other hall with water gun and kidnapping their RA, the scary story, the dance and of course "watching the sunrise".

I don't know if they're gonna change much this year with 2 days one, but if it's anything like the previous year then you guys are gonna have a blast

?? I am soo confused. I thought SPOP was mostly academic? Like, don't you choose your classes, get your schedule, etc?

chickenboi8008 · 07-11-2008, 01:28 AM

^^ u do but it has some fun to it as well

nononana · 07-11-2008, 01:56 AM

yes the first half of day 1 is mostly academic. they explain all the course requirement and other academic info, then u choose class in the first afternoon, but after that, it's FUN FUN FUN all night! we had hall activities, dance party, and etc=]
the second day is just bunch of workshop which u and ur parent can go together. then there's talent show (which is AMAZING) then u go back to your hall for some last-minute discussion/activites, then u go homeeee

just be openminded, participate, and get ready to meet new people!

Oh wow that's awesome! btw do we NEED to have transcripts with us?
I think one of the emails mentioned something about transcripts.

nononana · 07-11-2008, 12:09 PM

i brought mine but it's useless. if uci already received all ur score (on myadmission) then u should be fine. when u register for class they have like a printout of all the score(like ap's and placement test) for each person so u know what class to take.
