<p>Scandinavian, quite interesting. I am browsing around film and television. I am somewhat tired of looking right now lol, so I’ll look a little later. I’ve decided to wait to take either a 96 or 97 course till the next quarter, need a feel for the school before I jump in to a 3 hr course that’s also 5 units.</p>
<p>@Cayton thanks a lot!
@lindyk8 I’m actually an English major, but thank you!</p>
<p>I think I finally found my elective! Italian 110, Dante in English… Maybe…</p>

When do you guys get to move into your apt?</p>
<p>Quick question, is this the address to the 3rd lot? 215 Charles E Young Dr N University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90024… Got orientation tmr, and was wondering if this is the correct address? TY</p>
<p>There’s an honors society, Tau Sigma, for transfer students who maintain a 3.5 first quarter:

<p>That’s very cool. I doubt I’ll make it in that :-(</p>

<p>If you’re enrolled in three classes, 4 units each, you just need to get an A- in two of those classes and a B+ in one class to get the required GPA to be eligible to join.</p>
<p>It’s certainly doable.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the difference is between units and points? Does points mean the same as units? </p>
<p>Provosts Honors list - UCLA:
The College (Letters & Science): requires a 3.75 GPA in any one quarter with at least 12 graded units and no grade of NP or I, … OR a 3.66 GPA and at least 16 grade points during the quarter, with no grade of NP or I.</p>
<p>The GPA is different for various colleges and is issued per term, so you have a fair # of chances.</p>
<p>I’m sure you can do it candles (Tau Sigma).</p>
<p>It’s doable. I’m just not feeling great about grades since I’m about to get an A- in a class I really worked hard in. Ignore my pessimism tonight.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>“Points” have to do with grades. An A gives you 4 points, a B gives you 3 points, and so on.</p>
<p>A- ??? That translates to an A. Tough break… :(( </p>
<p>At CSUs an A- is an A-. It’s only worth 3.7, not 4.0.</p>
<p>More than anything it just makes me more nervous about ucla grades. I did fine last semester, but maybe 2 4-week classes while working F/T may have been too much :-(</p>
<p>So what does that second part mean @cayton? I’m not getting it…</p>
<p>You mean like 12 units:
Class 1 - A-
Class 2 -A-
Class 3 - A-
3.7 GPA</p>
<p>16 points:
3 classes = B = 9 points
2 class = A = 8 points
3.66 GPA</p>
<p>So you are essentially taking more classes? </p>
<p>I THINK what it’s saying is that if you have a 3.66, then you have to take at least 16 units for a letter grade, which basically means no classes that are pass or no pass. With the 3.75 you can have one class that’s pass or no pass.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 </p>
<p>Now I’m confused, lol</p>
<p>Dammit UCLA clarify these things.</p>
<p>No I think that’s it. Another example:</p>
<p>4 courses, all four units
3 A = 12 pts
1 B = 3 pts
15 points (not 16 points)
so GPA must be 3.75…
And GPA is 3.75.</p>
<p>If a couple of the above courses were 5 units, the recalculation of points would probably hit 16 (??), so they would only need 3.66 GPA. </p>
<p>Am I overthinking this?</p>
<p>I thought that too @2016candles but @cayton is right, points refer to grades whereas units refer to time.</p>
<p>Way too confusing!!</p>
<p>After reading the requirements for the other schools like engineering and film, I think it’s honestly a typo. I think they meant to say 16 units, but it says 16 points.</p>
<p>“Arts & Architecture and Theater, Film, and Television: require 12 graded units per quarter with a GPA of 3.8 for less than 16 units of work (3.7 GPA for 16 or more units). You are ineligible if in any quarter you receive a Not Passed (NP) or Incomplete grade (I), change a grade or repeat a course.”</p>
<p>@2016candles 2 weeks! Im really excited getting everything packed up, and uhaul is rented :)</p>
