<p>@CuriousJDG9513 - “Earlier you mentioned that some of your friends switched to public health majors. I plan on applying to public health schools after college and I was wondering what is considered a “public health” major? My major is MIMG (microbiology, etc…).”</p>
<p>I think there is no “public health major” for undergraduates, but rather they decided to apply for public health graduate school rather than apply for Medical School. They stayed in their original majors. There is a public health minor though - <a href=“http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog12-13-695.htm[/url]”>http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog12-13-695.htm</a></p>
<p>@Darthpwner - “How would you consider the grad school placement for UCLA’s CSE program? I really want to go to Stanford grad school for Computer Science and Engineering.”</p>
<p>It is definitely possible to get into Stanford Grad School for CSE from UCLA Undergrad, but you would have to probably graduate with latin honors and do some sort of research with a professor. Every year is slightly different, but this is what you would shoot for.

<p>If you have a >3.50 GPA at ucla undergrad, you are guaranteed a graduate spot if you return to UCLA for graduate school.</p>
<p>@AirforceWuhn - “Did you study CS from Engineering or from LAS? Is there any different?
From the AP list, you mentioned you got credit 31A/31B for AP BC which comes from LAS because engineering only gives you 31A.”</p>
<p>CS is only part of the school of engineering. I definitely did receive 31A/31B credit for my calc bc test, so they must have changed the ruling since 4 yearsa ago.</p>
<p>@jojocircus28 - “If money is not an issue, which is better: Res Hall or Plaza?”</p>
<p>I believe every student should have some sort of “Res Hall” experience. Granted you will still meet amazing people in a plaza, it is just more preferred to move to a quieter location once you have your own circle of friends. When you see your floor mates **** drunk in the lounge or bump into random neighbors in the shower, it creates a stronger bond than through meeting people in class or at work. You get to see both the good and the bad sides of a person and because of this, friendships usually become more meaningful. That’s how I feel at least… I took summer school in a res-hall for 6 weeks and some of the people I met during that period became closer friends than the people I lived in a plaza for an entire year.</p>
<p>@ilovetlbb - "Hi CremieuxR, I have 2 questions</p>
<p>1) does the Classic Res Hall have air-conditioning after renovation?</p>
<p>2) as you have mentioned when you forgot to pay your tuition all your classes were dropped. may i know how do we pay our tuition and housing? by quarter? month? and what are the ways we can choose to pay our tuition, e.g. credit card?</p>
<p>Thank you!"</p>
<p>1) Classic Res Halls do not have air-conditioning. I lived in Sproul for 6 weeks without A/C and my current apartment in westwood also does not have A/C. Usually a personal fan or desk heater is enough for the most extreme cases.</p>
<p>2) There may be different payment schedules, but I always get charged via my UCLA BAR account every quarter. UCLA tuition accepts American Express, Discover, and Mastercard, Western Union, and eCheck. My parents use to pay for my tuition with a credit card since they get rewards like free Mileage, but UCLA now charges a 2.75% service fee for using a credit card, so unless your credit card benefits are greater than the service charge, eCheck would be the way to go. It’s basically the same thing as a physical check but you just type in the details directly online.</p>
