<p>If they are major prereqs I think they have to be taken for a grade.</p>
<p>You need at least a B, if not higher</p>
<p>Edit to ask, can you even take all of those maths at the same time? At my CC mathematics courses have their own prereqs that build on each other so it can be difficult to take too many at one time</p>
<p>just for those not major preps I would take p/np.
Yes same here in my school but once I’m done w calc2, I’m free to take whatever higher level math class left. That’s why I can take 3 math. The other is intro stat, which you can take at any level.</p>
<p>Are you at SMC? That sounds like a good plan so you don’t get overwhelmed.</p>
<p>Posting an announcement from my CC:
"Effective immediately UCLA has added two new majors to its list of majors that are not appropriate alternate majors. The Human Biology & Society B.A. and B.S majors are no longer going to be considered by UCLA admissions if they are in the “alternate major” section on the application. Likewise, we were told that these two majors will only admit about 5 students into each major for those who indicate it as their first choice major! These two majors will be extremely selective. "</p>
<p>Anyone else apply to CSU schools for safety? I did. I found it curious there was nowhere to list EC 's or even a personal statement. I guess it’s just about the GPA for them? Would have liked to hedge my bet with adding ECs and a little bit about me. Interesting.</p>
<p>the CSU app is extremely simple and bare-bones compared to the UC app. I remember finishing my application for the 4 CSUs I applied for (CSULB, CSULA, CSUF, SDSU) in less than an hour. For them, it’s all about your coursework and your GPA. If you have a decent GPA >3.2+ possibly, you’re almost guaranteed admission for almost all of them with the exception of a few competitive ones like LB, SLO or SD if you don’t live in SD.</p>
<p>Thanks. Does the CSU application also allow for an update when Fall grades come out?</p>
<p>@luckie1367 no i’m not. you are? do you come to ucla tap or storm or any open house day? </p>
<p>Oh, my bad! The classes you listed sounded so much like SMC classes! I am a SMC student.</p>
<p>I haven’t been able to attend any of the conferences or open houses :(</p>
<p>haha no i just put the general name for those cls so it can make more senses. You should come, it’s awesome to see the campus. i think i saw smc students on the tap day </p>
<p>I’m on the campus every once and a while, I love it so much!</p>
<p>i can’t agree w you more! that’s the reason why i just focus on UCLA.</p>
<p>Quick question: will the admission officers check family demographic/ income or only financial aid dept. look at it? </p>
<p>I believe they only look at it for the fee waiver and for context. You will not be accepted/denied based on the information you provide there.</p>
<p>For example, if you mention that you are low income and that it is difficult to juggle extra curriculars and a job, but you family income is 1,000,000, that might raise some questions.</p>
<p>lol that’s not the case. I asked because my family does have some complex situation about the income. I wonder if I should utilize the comment box to explain it or put on personal statement. my paper already reached the cap (7 words over T_T) so I dn’t know should i change the whole thing. I dn’t like put on comment box cos i feel like extending my ps and maybe officers won’t like it. if they won’t look at it then it’ll simply reduce me additional work.</p>
<p>If you feel like it will help your app, put it. If it is redundant, whiny, or otherwise negative, leave it off.</p>
<p>I’ve personally used my additional comments to further explain my role in some ECs that don’t fit in the space they give us.</p>
<p>Finally! <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof14.htm”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/Tr_Prof14.htm</a></p>
<p>Interesting. Several avg. GPA’s dropped. Hopefully that’s a good thing for us Fall 2015 applicants. 
My major dropped from 3.4 to 3.3.</p>
<p>@fullload </p>
<p>The average admitted GPA most likely dropped because the applicant pool was less competitive this year and not because UCLA admissions decided to be more forgiving.</p>
<p>If anything, I expect the admissions process to be much more competitive next year for one reason: too many people from the fall 2014 cohort enrolled this year; about 3,300 transfer applicants who were admitted for fall 2014 enrolled at the school. According to an article from the UCLA newsroom released on the day that admissions decisions would released for fall 2014 transfer applicants, the enrollment target was 3,100 students. I can provide the source if you guys want.</p>
<p>So, if 200 more people enrolled than expected, admissions will <em>have to</em> be much more strict for fall 2015 applicants. I recall reading an article about freshman admissions being tightened one year in part because too many people(I think 40-100 people, don’t remember) enrolled as freshman from the previous year. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m just warning all of you guys now so that you can prepare in any way you can to make yourselves more competitive.</p>
<p>good info, as usual, cayton. thanks.</p>
<p>here, you guys can go crazy comparing yourselves with people that got in this year</p>
