@josh2633 Business Econ here. The wait is killing
@josh2633 Biz Econ here also
@josh2633 @GoHaasOrGoHome @jonathaanv what are your stats guys? And where else did you apply?
@GoHaasOrGoHome i applied under econ. i applied to haas as well.
@GoHaasOrGoHome @masechka1988 @jonathaanv what area of business were you guys looking to get into? and why pursue it at ucla?
@LynAmmo Thank you for your advice. The thing is… the last drop day is April 23rd, and the decision will be on April 21st, which is Friday. Therefore, they won’t answer both email or call before 23rd. Then I will get a W unnecessarily. I asked about it through myApplication, and they said they cannot answer on the hypothetical situation… I understand tho.
I am likely to be accepted(cse major, 4.00 gpa, all req done + 4/5 strongly recommended courses done, strong ecs including internship and awards from some competitions, etc), and the course I wanna drop is not a major-required course. Since it is only for UCB, and I finally decided to go to ucla, I wanna make sure if I can drop it right after the decision comes out; therefore, I won’t get the W. In common sense, the answer is YES you can, why not? Many don’t or can’t stick to the TAU plan. However, I am just double-checking it.
If anyone knows or has experienced it, plz help me!
What’s yo thought?
@josh2633 I’m an Econ major. I have a 4.0 with Tap, but my EC’s aren’t too strong so I’m nervous. I foster pit bulls and have translated a few academic articles for a professor abroad from Portuguese to English, but that’s pretty much it. UCLA is my dream school plus I want to get married to my boyfriend and we live in LA so I really don’t want to have to move further away. Hoping for the best!
Ok, so UCLA emailed me and said, “We will keep your previous email in our records as we finalize our reviews and prepare for the Transfer decision release later this month.” So does that mean they will take my academic update even though it’s past March 31st (the last day to send in the TAU)?
As the days get closer and closer I’m just so nervous now.
@LynAmmo Sounds like it!! Yay!! If they do reject you, contest it. I’m sure they’ll accept it considering this knew knowledge. Juuust in case they don’t get to the update.
@masechka1988 3.86 GPA with a whole bunch of school related ECs like PTK, Business Club, ABG, tutoring etc.
@josh2633 I applied to a whole bunch of schools, most notably Cal, UCLA, USC, Cal Poly SLO.
I originally wanted to get into accounting, but I’m leaning towards a career in finance. I chose to apply to UCLA obviously because of the program and the prestige that comes with it. UCLA sports is cool also I guess.
@LynAmmo hello! What happened to your transcripts? I think I got the same issue… After I submitted my common app, I asked my counselor what I need to do next, and he said that is it for now. Just submit your Fall 2016 grades in January. So i have submitted it. But nobody ever mentioned about the winter grades, and I didn’t even think about it. So did I actually need to submit my winter grades? Should I email it to them? You had the same issue right?
@jonathaanv what program? ucla doesn’t have an undergrad business program? were you looking at cal as well then since finance is a popular field there?
Should we report the winter grade?.. I didn’t know that. TAU was closed before the grade came out.
@josh2633 Biz Econ is essentially UCLA’s “business program” even though it’s mostly economics based with some accounting here and there from what I’ve heard from people. I know it’s not an actual undergrad business school like Haas, Marshall, Orfalea, Paul M. etc.
I’m looking at Cal because it is my “dream school” even though I dislike using that term. Being from NorCal, it is the closest to me and obviously it’s known as being the “best” (opinion) undergrad business program in California. I’ve always wanted to go to Cal regardless of major, but business being such a highly ranked program there is a plus honestly.
@masechka1988 My issue was that I miscalculated my units and thought I could drop 2 classes and it ended up putting me at 59 units. Once I found out, I quickly begged a professor from one of the short-term classes that just started to let me in and she did, but it was after March 31st, so the only way to notify the school was through the portal. They sent me a message saying,
"The last Transfer Academic Update (TAU) form you submitted was on March 30, 2017. It showed that HEP 201 was in progress. UCLA stopped accepting TAU forms through the UC application site as of March 31st. However, if you reply to this email with the updates you would like us to consider, it may be reviewed in time for the decision release. Please send us an email IMMEDIATELY and be sure to include the following information for your HS 121 course:
- Name of college/university where course was taken
- Course title and number
- Term and year of course
- Units/credits
- Final grade
If you prefer, you can provide a copy of your unofficial transcript/schedule instead."
I sent them all the information and then they sent me,
"Thank you for providing the necessary information. We will keep your previous email in our records as we finalize our reviews and prepare for the Transfer decision release later this month. We will contact you if we require additional information or clarification.
Sincerely,
UCLA Undergraduate Admission
ASUJJL"
@LynAmmo Oh I see what happened. I am glad that they took into consideration your situation. Thank you for clarification.
