<p>@2016Candles </p>
<p>I go to SMC too, so that’s certainly helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>I know you go to SMC, that’s why said it 
</p>
<p>I only took 1 class there forever ago, but it still counts :-)</p>
<p>@2016Candles I ended up getting ~1200 for my 8 unit summer workload + 4000 in loans (which I won’t take out) </p>
<p>@CalBruin Were you the one who posted on the UCLA transfer page about retracting your cal SIR?</p>
<p>Acceptance day 2014!</p>
<p>@AnthroFlo … I guess, extended hours, that is what he said.
@randombookie I believe so, he said, it doesn’t hurt you signing up. It is basically there. You just need to maintain a 3.5. That is all. </p>
<p>I am having a really hard time choosing between UCLA Computer Science and Engineering or Berkeley EECS/Material Science. I am more interested in the EE field, but the fact is that there are more job opportunities in CS field.(I don’t mind working as a software engineer). Also, I am planning to go to grad school for either (CS or EE).
Berkeley
Top ranked EECS program
Focus specifically on micro electronic engineering<br>
5 year BS/MS program (required 3.5 or higher gpa in Cal Kind of hard)
The major mainly focus on EE
Better job opportunities ?
UCLA
The program ranked lower
The major cover both area in EE and CS (allow me to apply grad school for both CS and EE)
Can get a job in both field
Easier to get higher gpa than at Cal (better for grad school admission)?</p>
<p>@michael1994hk have u visited both campuses? I’d did and for me personally and also from what I heard, aside from academics…ucla is known to be a friendlier campus, easier to make friends, and more sunny days. Do u want SF type city or LA type?</p>
<p>Is the IGETC certified footnote on my final transcripts enough for UCLA? Or do I need to do anything else? A counselor from admissions at my CCC sent me an email with an IGETC worksheet, do I need to print that, email that or do anything with that? </p>
<p>Was at UCLA again this weekend. Had such an amazing time. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. All of us made the right decision! Go Bruins! 
</p>
<p>@Zalrons Go Bruins! Glad you found the right fit. :D!!</p>
<p>I’m hoping to go to UCLA for graduate school. I feel a little sad about not accepting UCLA (all those damn concerts and wonderful people), but I think we all made the right choices. </p>
<p>@calbro </p>
<p>What do you wish to go to UCLA’s grad school in? I’m sure Berkeley has an equally good, if not better program, as hard as that is for me to admit. :(</p>
<p>Do you guys know if they are strict on the passport photo for the housing application? I used a different profile picture with non-white background and wondering if its ok? I think deadline is tomorrow. Thankss</p>
<p>@Cayton UCLA for Social Psychology!</p>
<p>@goodjobdaveman </p>
<p>Don’t worry, you don’t have to submit the picture by the deadline, just the application in general.</p>
<p>You’ll need a picture with a white background, though.</p>
<p>I have a cumulative GPA of 3.5
This semester I am taking 3 classes and I’m pretty sure I will get a B in all which will drop my GPA to a 3.42. I am wondering how much that will affect my acceptance decision? And if it’s possible to get it taken away? </p>
<p>@calbro </p>
<p>Ah, in that case, UCLA would be just as good as Berkeley.</p>
<p>I filled out the Educational Planner, it wouldn’t work on my computer so I had to do it on my phone. </p>
<p>@CSB111 Where is the educational planner link?</p>
