<p>Good luck! The average admitted GPA for math at UCLA was 3.73 last year, so if you can get into the 3.7 range or at least 3.68+, I think you’ll be a strong applicant.</p>
<p>@tintinucd </p>
<p>Here’s a tip:</p>
<p>UCLA’s applied math average admitted GPA is somewhat lower than the admitted GPA of regular math. It’s 3.64. I doubt there’s a substantial difference between the two programs(Well, substantial enough that you in particular would care about), so consider applying there instead if you’re not certain that your GPA will be high enough.</p>
<p>What did you get on AP Calc AB? @tintinucd</p>
<p>Hey everyone.
So tomorrow is my orientation, and a class I want had 2 spots open two days ago,but now only one spot is left!
Is it true that UCLA saves spaces for classes at these orientations?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I know it’s way late in the game but is it too late to apply for an additional loan? I have applied for a direct sub loan, now was thinking to have a unsubsidized loan. I have yet to receive anything for FA, but was curious if I could still apply? TY in advNce.</p>

You can apply for loans at any point in the school year. </p>

Some courses in your major May have spots saved that will be open to you tomorrow. Don’t expect a lot of spots to open, or for that to happen with too many classes. Have Plans A-L ready, because it can be a total crap shoot </p>
<p>I think you will be fine. They say they don’t penalize ppl who are at later orientations and that makes sense.They reserve spots for new transfers and things open up. Everyone so far seems fairly happy with their schedules. </p>
<p>There are also some classes that say for new transfers only and I’m sure some of those will open for sure. But definitely have a set of options. </p>
<p>@Cayton oh nice! thanks for pointing that out! I’ll definitely keep that in mind :). and @CSB111 i got a 4 on the test!</p>
<p>@tintinucd Just FYI, UCLA doesn’t accept a 4 on AP Calc AB for Calc 1. So you might run into an issue if you got accepted and then submitted your AP credit. I ran into this issue with a different class and ended up taking it, so I can’t say how it would turn out. I can’t say forsure though. </p>
<p>@CSB111 ohh okay thanks for the heads up! :O. The thing is though, I already finished calc 2 and 3 and differential equations and linear algebra, and im pretty sure calc 1 is a pre req. to all of those math classes, so it wouldn’t really make sense if they forced me to retake calc 1 even if i had finished all those other math :O. Hopefully ucla isn’t that evil D: </p>
<p>I doubt they will force you to retake Calc 1. Taking things out of sequence gives them epileptic fits. But, I know I always bring this up, I saw a counselor presentation and they were vicious about not taking classes in a sequence or out of sequence. Common sense would say they would let it through since you have no alternative and finished the series, but I believe I saw a case where an AP was omitted and they rejected someone because they were now missing the first one. I don’t want to scare you, and I think it may be one of those arbitrary things they use simply when they need a reason to reject someone. Let me go look for the preso. </p>
<p>Speaking of out of sequence, I’m most likely going to be taking the Math 33 series before the 32. I’m kinda worried that I’ll forget all the stuff I need to know for the 32 series, which is Calc 3, since when I take it, it will have been over a year after I took Calc 2. From the course outlines I’ve found, it doesn’t seem that 33A, Linear Algebra, and 33B, Differential Equations, use the concepts of Calc 1 and 2 all that much. Anybody have any insight into this? I really wish I would have taken Calc 3 during the summer instead of trying and failing at a UCLA summer course D:</p>
<p>Linear algebra is definitely related to calc 3 (vectors, vector spaces, change of variables, etc.), and many of the methods you use to solve ordinary differential equations primarily involve calculus 2 integration techniques. I highly recommend self-studying calc 3 on your own, perhaps half an hour every other day, so you have an edge once you do take it. Plus you can self-study next summer presuming you’re taking it next fall. It’s a pretty straightforward course. You just need to memorize the key definitions and theorems, and then practice solving problems. Also check out syllabi at UCLA to figure out which text they use. I think it’s Stewart, but I’m not sure. Most of the modern reform calc books are basically the same anyways.</p>
<p>This was from about two-three years ago but an interesting (and troubling) loophole in the UC residency requirements.

<p>Berkeley should revoke these people’s degrees.</p>
<p>Well, technically, they can’t because what they did was legal(But it’d be nice), but they should close that loophole immediately. It makes no sense whatsoever to grant in-state tuition to someone simply because they’re married.</p>
<p>I used to write for the Daily Californian (Cal) and get their updates. Every one of these seems relevant to UCLA- essential items for dorms you might not think about…

<p>Thanks for the article link. I already have one of the items on the list: an academic planner. As you know, every incoming UCLA student was given an academic planner. I plan to make good use of mine this school year.</p>
<p>And it looks really nice, too.</p>
<p>Did anyone here get an email from housing? They let you move in early if u sign up to be a MIA (moving assistant). If so, is anyone doing it? </p>

<p>I did not. You must be one of the chosen ones. </p>
