<p>I submitted my official transcripts through my school on June 5th, but UCLA hasn’t received them yet according to my.ucla. Is it still too early to be concerned?</p>
<p>@OCaptnMyCaptn You should probably start worrying when you can’t find a job because of your useless major. </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 You Filthy minority. You’re wasting my money on a useless degree!</p>
<p>@OCaptnMyCaptn </p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry. If you ordered them June 5, it probably took your school a week or more to send them. Then they have to physically reach UCLA. Then it will take UCLA a couple of weeks to update my.ucla. I would say by the end of next week they should show up? Assuming your school actually sent them by 6/13 -ish.</p>
<p>@ocaptnmycaptn They’re taking a long time to get posted. Go to myUCLA and send an email. They’ll respond in 2-3 days. My daughter did that because it never showed online. Better to be safe than sorry.</p>
<p>Most of the classes I need are already full!!! X( </p>
<p>If I can’t get the classes I need, that may make my decision as to whether I transfer or not…</p>
<p>@2016Candles those numbers may be taking into account the “hold” positions for new transfers. Don’t even look there. Just wait till you get to orientation…</p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>Not look! Yeah right!! I’m way too neurotic not to look!! :)) </p>
<p>You may be right about the “hold”, but I’m still gonna keep looking :-)</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 That sounds like a good plan. FYI though, according the the math group on FB, Math of Comp majors get first pass at all the CS classes and can take as many as you want. You might want to see if this is the case with the Linguistics & CS. I hate the rigidity between the School of Engineering and Letters and Sciences. </p>
<p>II’m actually really embarrassed to change my major. I still need about 40 lower division units, and because of this, I am embarrassed to go to orientation day. I don’t know how I am going to look the counselor in the eye and ask her to change my major. What makes things worst is that the major that I was admitted as has nothing to do with the major I plan to change into. It is just going to look like I cheated my way into UCLA. </p>
<p>Just say a bunch of ppl talked you out of it and you started having second thoughts. I’m sure it happens a lot.</p>
<p>I agree you should just say you’re having 2nd that, but I wouldn’t say that you got the idea from other people. I think it would sound better if you took complete ownership of it, and just said you’ve done some research, or something like that.</p>
<p>Lol, what’s your original major?</p>
<p>You’ll be fine though. It just may take some extra time.</p>
<p>@CSB111 I was accepted as a humanities majors So, yeah, my original major is useless. </p>
<p>I’m only going to have the math part complete, I still need everything else</p>
<p>Great, my dumb ass decided to drink a beer, and now I’m buzzed and I have to study for a test that I am taking in 7 hours. </p>
<p>I had my first UCLA class today. Now I’m considering dropping out and attending UCI. I’ve never experienced anything like that class. Full on three hour lecture, no bathroom breaks, no power points, no textbook, no nothing. You literally had to scribble everything that came out of his mouth.</p>
<p>I regret every applying to UCLA to say the least.</p>
<p>All of my worst nightmares came true. Community college doesn’t prepare you for UC level coursework. They spoonfed me, changed my diapers, and wiped the ■■■■ out of my ass.</p>
<p>UC? You’re on your own. No powerpoints. No textbooks. No nothing. You might as well turn some tricks in Hyde Park and pray your ass is good enough to be your moneymaker.</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You’re ■■■■■■■ hilarious. But on a side note, I was/am worried about being prepared for UCLA. You just confirmed my worst nightmare! </p>
<p><em>Statistically</em>, transfers perform about as well in upper-division coursework as their native counterparts, those who were admitted straight out of high school. As such, I’m confident in saying that most community colleges prepare you adequately for upper-division coursework, though they may not prepare students for the increased difficulty in the coursework as much <em>as they’d like</em>. </p>
<p>Then again, I’ve never completed upper-division coursework for my major before, and many in my major have said on this forum that it’s on another level completely. Still, those same people said that they were able to adjust and did well.</p>
<p>For these reasons, I believe, you’ll be fine, @BurntCorpse and @CollegeDropout1. Just study as much as necessary and make use of the resources available to you at UCLA.</p>
<p>I’m not saying this because I’m optimistic or anything(I think of myself as being near the middle, between optimism and pessimism). I’m just basing my opinions on the facts and from what I’ve heard from fellow transfer students.</p>
<p>What class(es) are you taking, @BurntCorpse? </p>
<p>@BurntCorpse Did you research the professor before you enrolled? I just youtubed lectures from UCLA and they <em>do</em> use powerpoints and the courses I checked out totally weren’t awful. A handful of my professors really prepared me, but not all. Another thing you need to remember is that you’re in a summer session right now.</p>
<p>Related, but not related: Berkeley uploads entire courses on their YouTube channel and it’s a great way to see how Cal professors teach. For example, here is Serena Chen (GREAT psych prof) lecturing: <a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube; . Here is a gen chemistry lecture by Angelica Stacy: <a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube; . So yeah, I think I’ll be pretty good.</p>
