<p>i have a 3.58 GPA…the IGETC is complete and I will have completed TAP by spring. My major is English. my grades in that subject are as follows
eng 1 -a
eng2-a
eng 3- b
lit6-a</p>

<p>i am taking two more lits in spring as well.</p>

<p>i am the secretary of the creative writing club and wrote a fairly powerful personal statement… i applied to UCLA and UCB only. should i add more campuses to apply to or should i be fine?</p>

<p>I would say you have a good chance at UCLA with TAP and will most likely get in. For Berkeley You might be average to below average. Not saying you will not get into Berkeley but it will most likely be a crap shoot. I would suggest to at least apply to one more school or two to be on the safe side.</p>

3

<p>yes, i will advise you to expand your campus choices.</p>

4

<p>Definitely consider UCI for english.</p>

<p>I think Doryx might be referring to how, in English, English is spelled ‘English’, but I don’t know if that’s irony. (;</p>

<p>i believe the irony is taking english at uci where it’s all mexicans</p>

9

<p>uci is predominantly white, asian, and persian, very few mexicans</p>

10

<p>uci is not at all majority mexicans</p>

11

<p>This conversation and seemingly ‘ironic’ fact has take a turn for the worst. As if ethnic demographic determined the quality of a school. tsk tsk.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Asian/Asian-American — 56.8%
Caucasian/White — 20.6%
Mexican-American — 11.1%</p>

<p>Really, it’s ridiculous at UCI. I was on campus taking a class and I asked 3 people for directions. No one spoke english. </p>

<p>UCI’s bio program is amazing. I’d say it’s competitive as UCLA in the bio department.</p>

<p>(BTW, I’m asian…)</p>

13

<p>^That sounds like UCSD.</p>

<p>I was doing research there the other day and just walking to the library I overheard Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and what sounded like some Thai.</p>

<p>Don’t get me wrong, I’m half asian(pinoy) and enjoy the cultural quirks as much as the next guy but this is overkill.</p>

<p>Are LA/Berkeley anymore diverse than the notoriously asian SD/Irvine?</p>

<p>What about Davis? I know SB is a blizzard.</p>

14

<p>UCLA has a large Asian population but not as notorious as UCI and UCSD. Sorry for the stereotype but I think the reason for UCI and UCSD have such a large Asian population is because both school are great in the engineering and sciences.</p>

15

<p>I’ve taken some classes at UCI, UCLA, and USC. USC has a good mix of everything. I see black/whites/asians/rich/poor/out of state etc. Nothing dominates except girls who wear Ugg boots.</p>

16

<p>HAHAHAHAH the Ugg boots was funny.</p>

17

<p>^hahah that is true.</p>

18

<p>Plus almost EVERYONE on campus has an iphone or a mac, or both.</p>
