Fall 2015 UCLA transfer students

@history2law, oh so that’s probably what they do behind the scenes.

hey guys! So I’ve recently kinda had a change of heart and I’m not really enjoying my major anymore… I’m wondering if poly sci was a major you needed to be directly admitted to during the application process? Thanks :slight_smile:

@merpcollegelife yes, you have to be directly admitted to polisci, see * at bottom of https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/lsmajors/pos-pre.htm

@luckie1367 Thanks! You’ve been so helpful since the admissions process started <3

@zettasyntax I did my housing application on sunday night. I used a picture off my iphone but I cropped it. Then I emailed it to myself and I uploaded it from my computer. My picture is a .jpg and the file size is 8kb.

@History2Law Thanks a bunch! The size seems to have been the problem for me. My pictures were mostly 500KB to 1MB after resizing, but when I made it even smaller to get 16KB, it worked! I wonder what the cutoff is. Anyway, thanks again. :slight_smile: I was getting really frustrated.

does anyone know how many people receive the TAP scholarship?

@angled No, but I’m curious as well.

@luckie1367 @angled me too :frowning:

Is anyone else anxious for what’s in store at UCLA, academic wise? I’m hoping I’ll be able to make a smooth transition with all the new things going on… But I don’t want to become a shut-in :stuck_out_tongue: Guess I’m just nervous because if there’s anything I’ve learned from the last two years, I do NOT take stress well.

Has anyone applied and received response from UCLA for Regents?

I applied. I have not heard anything yet.

same here @littlebill im hoping the classes i take wont be impossibly hard

@zack777 I heard our ePAL should be updated around the 20th which is today if we get it

@nappysama heyy dude, so it’s finals week for me right now and i have two more for today and tomorrow. I calculated my overall gpa using the uctapplanner and this spring semester… i messed up so bad. It dropped so much all the way down to like 3.2. I feel so discouraged now and i feel like giving up, but im still going to try my best this summer and the following semesters. Want to give me some advice? I feel like a failure.

Has anyone else tried submitting a photo for a bruin card? No matter what I do my photo is always sideways :-S

where is the bruin card link to do this?

@fullload https://secure.bruincard.ucla.edu/bcw/secure/bruincardphotoid/photoinstructions.aspx

@nappysama have you ever failed a course and retook it again for a higher grade? Do the universities care a lot about that D/F even though you retook that same course in a different semester and received an A or B instead

Bruincard update: got the photo to work, I have no idea why it was coming in sideways though.
