Chance my friend..

<p>applied: UCLA, Berk, SD, SB</p>

<p>major: anthro (b.s.)</p>

<p>gpa: 3.0-3.1</p>

<p>reqs: complete</p>

<p>igetc: complete</p>

<p>first generation college student (first in family to even attend any college)</p>

<p>full time job since he’s been in school –> essay topic = independence.</p>

<p>essays are good… i’d say 8 or 9 out of 10. </p>

<p>well?</p>

<p>I would say in at SD and SB with TAG’s (Hopefully he or she checked the boxes). GPA is a little low for UCLA and Berkeley, in my opinion.</p>

<p>SD & SB: 98-100%</p>

<p>if the essays are as good as you say…</p>

<p>UCLA
20% in
80% out</p>

<p>Cal
20%in
79% out
1% spring</p>

<p>I’m surprised UCLA’s anthro has such a low accepted GPA (3.37)…</p>

<p>wait… checked the boxes?</p>

<p>i thought you only check the boxes if you’ve already signed TAG…</p>

<p>SD and SB have paperless TAG. All you do is check the box on the application.</p>

<p>I have signed TAG’s with UCSD and UCSB, however as far as I know (and please, correct me if I am wrong) you only need to have a signed document with Davis and Irvine (not sure about the others), but with SD and SB, you can simply check the box.</p>

<p>damn… do you guys know if it’s possible to go back and handle that?</p>

<p>Why isn’t your friend posting his/her own statistics here? He should be upfront and proactive about his college career.</p>

<p>When your friend submitted his application, he should have received an email containing some general information about application changes. He should use that as a lead to find out who he should contact. Then he should tell them that he wasn’t sure how to do TAG for those two schools and that he accidentally submitted the application without finding out exactly how TAG works for those two schools.</p>

<p>to answer your question, i’m asking on his behalf because i’m curious. not him. he’s more stoic than i or anyone else on this forum and probably couldn’t give a **** what anyone thinks his chances are. </p>

<p>that aside, i’m perfectly aware of how one might go about getting the information on how to make a correction. i was hoping that someone who’d already gone through the process, or found out how to go through the process, would simply share it… </p>

<p>but thanks, anyway, dyck.</p>

<p>mikei, you should know that when pinker said

he wasn’t being serious. This is known as sarcasm (sar·casm):
1 : a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a : a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b : the use or language of sarcasm.</p>

<p>the more you know!</p>

<p>Pinkerfloyd, let me know what goes on with your friend’s app, cause I’m in the EXACT same boat he’s in, but I’m a philosophy major and have some extremely good ECs.</p>

<p>He’ll do fine without TAG for SB, I think.</p>
