<p>nice thread guys.</p>
<p>Very intelligent well thought out opinions.</p>
<p>Can’t argue w. any of it except i thought Pol Sci was impacted and i c a lot non tag 3.2-3.4 being accepted. Pretty strange. Oh well.</p>
<p>***…ucla favors some CC’s over others?? So let me guess…all of the favorite CC’s are all down in LA. Maybe that could be a factor in my rejection since my CC is in Nor Cal and has the highest transfer rate to Berkeley in California.</p>
<p>Mo, it’s true…there is a top ten list of CC’s that the UC’s take notice of every year. I used to work at one, and the other I commuted to for that very reason…</p>
<p>It’s not just UCLA but Berkeley as well that knows which schools are beter. A lot of us are not from LA, don’t make ridiculous assumptions…</p>
<p>Luba, I am really not sure which ones…</p>
<p>Michelle, would you happen to have a copy of the top ten CCs list?</p>
<p>I’m guessing, off the top of my head, that CCSF is on that list… but I can’t think of any more.</p>
<p>oh, I got a good idea that the schools in the Answers for Transfers that…have an Honors program and are affiliated with UCLA, you know…in the back under the different colleges…</p>
<p>I know Moorpark College, Santa Monica College and Santa Barbara City college are three just to name a few…</p>
<p>mosharma134, from what i recall, they prefer CC students over 4 yr univs but not CERTAIN CC students 'cause everything depends on your successful completion of IGETC and your pre-reqs. for certain majors, they understand that you can’t obviously gobble and juggle all pre-reqs before you transfer…this is what my counselor said.</p>
<p>also, SMC has one of the highest transfer rates 'cause they offer the most number of classes, not to mention a wide array of the same…</p>
<p>I’d be willing to say they’ve got a good relationship with College of the Canyons. We had UCLA reps out at the college all the times advising students about admissions. Plus we did offer an honors program as well as TAP.</p>
<p>Allena…get out! I used to live in Valencia. May I ask what your housing plans are for UCLA neat year…?</p>
<p>My school’s Honors program was extremely extensive and touts that they are #1 in transfer to UC’s…</p>
<p>Hopefully, PCC is put the the list. ;p</p>
<p>i dont think its so much that they favor certain colleges more than other but lets take SMCC and PCC in consideration. I go to PCC and there are like…seriously…100000000000 students. If you compare the ratio of students that get in to the ratio that applied to UCLA the number is extremely small. However if you just count the number that get in, its because we have a bigger student body. I believe this is also true with SMCC. Someone from there back me up on this one.</p>
<p>this is where you lose me, because i don’t know of any other CCs other than mine, the 2 others in my district, and CCSF. Nope, ignorance is not an excuse, but please bear with me.</p>
<p>What school is PCC (i keep thinking about this reagent we use in Organic chem)?</p>
<p>BTW - OT, sort of - but are there any PTK members here who are going to the CA/NV regional conference this weekend? Let me know coz my college is hosting it, therefore i am going to be there.</p>
<p>Pasadena City College Lancer here, now Bruin! and yeah I can vouch for niwatori there are thousands of us here also a surprisingly large international student body. Anyone hear of the rumor that PCC is going to be a cal state? It is a beautiful campus in the heart of an extremely affluent community with awesome views of the san gabriel mountains but I think it might be too small to become a state u.</p>
<p>Ever seen the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day? Chances are youv’e seen PCC its right smack dab on Colorado Blvd. close to old town pasadena</p>
<p>Fei,</p>
<p>Wow you turned out to be such an immature person about this…I am astounded at your lack of insight and respect. </p>
<p>To all others that feel the process is random,</p>
<p>I understand your emotions, but your logic is flawed and colored by your disappointment.</p>
<p>I posted this in another thread but it bears repeating here: If you feel the process is random, you are just trying to remove any kind of personal responsibility you had in the process. It makes you feel better that it was chance or luck that determined your fate.</p>
<p>Just because you felt you should get in over a student with a lower GPA does mean that the adcoms are on drugs, sleeping with the admits or have been abducted by aliens with some type of subversive plot to admit lower caliber students in a galactic effort to undermine the UC system and personally screw you out of admission! Phew! ;)</p>
<p>What’s more, you guys and gals, diminish in no small way the hard work, effort and talent that those who were admitted have shown. You are showing that you are immature people that can’t look beyond your own limited world view and selfish feelings.</p>
<p>With tens of thousands of applicants and only a fraction of spaces available, is it really so hard to imagine that UCLA would look beyond GPA as a determining factor? That leaves a HUGE window open for subjective interpretation and decisions on candidates.</p>
<p>If you guys can’t see this, than perhaps you all are the ones on the dope. ;)</p>
<p>well said exilio. i applaud you =D</p>
<p>exillo, name the factors, and we can find indivduals to disproof your claim.</p>
<p>“disprove” your claim…actually…</p>
<p>Exilio, I could not agree more…I think this argument is a worthy one, yet I don’t feel that it will go away. Everyone will still say that it’s random because of their disappointment and because they are p i s s e e d, which is understandable, however to start comparing GPA’s is once more showing that they just don’t…get it.</p>
<p>i really don’t think it’s a random process. let’s think about it real hard… we submitted our applications in november… which means they’ve now had 5 months to review them. 5 MONTHS. to think that they’ve only looked at 50% (randomly) of them until now, and that they haven’t even touched the other 50% is ridiculous. no, i think they’ve looked at all of the applications and determined which applicants they want for sure and which they don’t want for sure… results which came out to about 50% on the first day of notifications.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m sure that UCLA’s sole goal in admissions is to lie and cheat and use diversionary tactics in order to make sure you don’t realize what’s really going on!</p>
