<p>@ xelink: Most definitely. You would get into Ivy’s with those numbers…pending you do some positive research, have GRE/GMAT scores roughly 2+ St. Dev’s above the mean, and if you publish something…I would guarantee you’re in a Top 20.</p>
<p>How coool!!! wow Nicky i am so proud of you 
ur badass for getting that interview.</p>
<p>hahaha i actually called one time but it was to talk to Gregg Allman and Cher’s son cuz he was on and I asked him
“So how much did the Allman Brothers influence your music, especially their live jams, how did that influence how you play?”
he was mad cuz it was his band and he didnt want to hear about his legendary father…so
Stryker wanted to know so he continued
“yeah that is so cool, how did his band influence you?”
and
they guy was p i s s e d.
hahahaha
Allman Brothers Band ftw.</p>
<p>nite Nicky!</p>
<p>LMAO hahaha you created controversy! Jane FTW! lol. I have deep respect for Loveline. I wish I still listened to it as often. It’s actually what spurred my interest in sexology - like I mentioned last week with my “UCB decal idea” lol. I need to listen more; all of this Dr. Drew talk makes me miss his brilliance and advice for people. </p>
<p>Ok, one time, I kid you not:</p>
<p>I get out of the shower and turn on the radio. Dr. Drew is talking to this girl, and the voice sounds familiar. I’m like half-paying attention. All of a sudden I think that she kind of sounds like my first gf. She goes on to say that she thinks she’s a sex addict. </p>
<p>Then she goes on to tell details that I knew specifically about my first gf: i.e. grandmother is a working nurse, depressed, bulimic, and then I was like…***! lmao this is Brianna! Crazy. One of the most random, completely out of nowhere experiences of my life. </p>
<p>Oh, and yes, I would say that she is a sex addict. It was good of her to call Dr. Drew (ironically I introduced her to him).</p>
<p>well, that’s what I like to hear. hope it’s not sarcasm. I really do. I have been a bit of a dick and I’ll admit that(I like countering egos which match my own). That said I intend to go ape **** crazy on the GRE/GMAT and I’m basically throwing my computer away next year and putting myself on meds. I’m going to brown nose as many profs as possible, especially those from classes I’m not in (“hello professor X, I heard you were respectable in something and I want your insight… please let me research with you and then write me a solid letter of recommendation”)</p>
<p>I definitely need to look into publishing things though. I’d have no idea where to start.</p>
<p>I’ll see, everything is easier said than done sadly. I really need to grow up a lot in the next few years. Get a real job in the economics field(would banking be close enough?) for a while and research as much as possible on the side and just work my ass off.</p>
<p>**** I wish my grandfather was still around(he passed away a few months ago), he was a published petrochemical engineer, he never graduated from college, but the state of California licensed him regardless due to his outstanding achievements.</p>
<p>That’s a cool anecdote about your grandfather; he sounds like a very innovative and talented person. You’re lucky though - that kind of mental acuity and resourcefulness is normally carried on through progeny. Trust me, I’ve studied this stuff.</p>
<p>I’m not being sarcastic with you; it’s odd you’re the 2nd person to ask me that on here today. I know a girl who failed (YES F) a class her junior year and is at an Ivy for grad school. It’s all about rebounding - how resilient you are, and your most recent coursework, labwork, etc. If you can nail the GRE/GMAT (as I intend to as well) then you’ll be good. Seriously, if you can kill it, with a GPA of 3.6+, you’ll be rewarded. Your last 2 years are CRITICAL. No joke, this is the important stuff now.</p>
<p>I screwed around my first semester in CCC (2 F’s and 1 D), and I’ll be playing from behind the rest of the way. That doesn’t discourage me though. Many top grad students started poorly. Just use your resources, go to Office Hours, obtain a research position (in Econ - banking could supplement something else, but alone wouldn’t be enough), and kill the GRE. </p>
<p>You seem like the type of person, when focused, that can be the top of one’s class. I’m the same way. When we’re not, we tend to lose interest and lost motivation…am I right? Or way off here?</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>only thing I’m worried about is the fact that we’re basically spoiled brats as far as transferring is concerned. I mean, we really do have it easy all things considered.</p>
<p>I’m not trying to belittle anyone here, but to get into a solid UC out of HS actually requires a fair bit of hardwork. Via a CC… let’s just say I could’ve gotten by without ever studying or doing homework at all whatsoever if I planned my courses a little better all while having no extra curriculars.</p>
<p>grad schools are harder and now I’m in the same “am I good enough” paranoid mindset that you are all in right now, and (hopefully) it will last for the next few years of my life.</p>
<p>I wish I’d found this site three years ago. I’d be graduating this year.</p>
<p>“I wish I’d found this site three years ago. I’d be graduating this year.” </p>
<p>If I had known about this site then, I’d be graduating college at 19, instead of just transferring.</p>
<p>I agree with you btw. It is more difficult out of high school. I debated it (quantitatively) with “peterr” on this site lol and it was an interesting debate. That said, I’m confident in fully agreeing with you.</p>
<p>Ap’s + SAT’s + multiple EC’s + weighted GPA’s ?? + stand out somehow + high school just sucks = I couldn’t deal with it lol.</p>
<p>this is how I survived my senior year of highschool(an example from AP Biology)…
I got to my first class 20 minutes late.
I slept because I stayed up all night playing video games.
I didn’t study or do homework all too much.
I literally stood up and started laughing one time when the teacher told the class that the reason why only one person with an A was Ramaundy because she studied her ass off and came in after class for tutoring. I had an A, she had a B+. I dropped about 15% within the next few weeks after “grade boosting” assignments were assigned (I made my lab partners do them and they weren’t well done), so it was all good…</p>
<p>ahh. I think I spend more time figuring out how to get out of assignments than I do actually doing them. Found out that the answer key to my accounting program/homework is in the same folder as the files themselves they’re just “hidden” and encrypted… they didn’t stay encrypted long.</p>
<p>my ECs for college are literally, work, video games, occasional party, and doing tech support&graphic/web-design for my parents business.</p>
<p>Anyone forced to go to a CC despite being in the top 20 students at your high school because your parents decided you would fail out of a UC like your sister?
Thats what happened to me.</p>
<p>^ouch pscholler</p>
<p>I don’t want to walk this Earth if I gotta do it SOBER</p>
<p>bwahahahahaha i like that statement, it fits today appropriately.</p>
<p>lol, yea right they think you will fail. Why don’t they just come clean and admit they don’t wanna pay the extra 2 years at a UC. Cheap skates, won’t even fork over the money for their own child.</p>
<p>Any word on the date they send it out</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> | Facebook](<a href=“Uclabruins beeip.com”>Uclabruins beeip.com)</p>
<p>“Most transfer and undergraduate admissions decisions should be available tonight after 6 p.m.”</p>
<p>WHAT?!?!</p>
<p>“Please note that decisions are likely to be available as noted above but not all decisions will be posted initially. The remaining decisions will be posted on a rolling basis until the process is completed (probably in early May).”</p>
<p>^^its all in the past…
