@overachiever.

I’m pretty sad when reading over this thread. Mostly cause I’m glad I’m going to UCLA. I never thought i would get accepted. I don’t have a 2000 SAT Score. I don’t have an extremely high GPA. I was freaken jumping in joy! I’ll be joining UCLA this fall and i’m already excited for orientation. What made me sad was that I might be meeting someone like you who is bashing UCLA. Which is why, I truly hope that I’ll never find out who you are.

Btw, referring to what happened to your friend. UCI isn’t a horrible school. It is still a well established University with great professors. GPA is still GPA, you can’t slide by UCI and earn a 3.9. You still have to work for it. You can’t expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter.
