<p>Hi, received an evelope last Friday…just wondering if anyone had also received the same and if they will also be attending…</p>
<p>Also, been looking into University Apartments at UCLA. It seems like such a bargain compared to the Residential Plazas. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks…</p>
<p>Went on Friday, got a T-Shirt, lanyard, keychain, general catalog, penant, so I’m good to go…lol.</p>
<p>BruinMichelle I kind of wonder if I saw you there! I was down there on Friday to do a bit of UCLA shopping as well… I noticed a few other people down buying a bunch of UCLA stuff as well, and could tell that they had just been admitted. </p>
<p>I ended up getting 2 T-Shirts and a License Plate holder for my car. I’ll decide upon the thing on the 21st after I get the letter and see what it is.</p>
<p>look in the catalog under Academic Achievement Program and at the resources there…looks incredible, a Graduate Mentor program…a Transfer Summer program, specialized counseling, cultural events, to name a few.</p>
<p>That’s awesome…I also saw quite a few “newly admits”, or so it appeared to be. My gosh, I got lost again in Ackerman looking for a place to eat. Got lost last year with my mom at the Book Festival…oh well, I’m new, so sue me. ;-)</p>
<p>Also, just found out that the majority of classes will be starting at either 12pm, 1pm or 2pm, which makes no sense for me to live down there. I am definitely commuting and staying in the library late.</p>
<p>I went to the STOMP conference on Friday…I don’t know if it’s the same thing as what you guys went to…
It was interesting.</p>
<p>actually…no, this is an invitation only event offered by the Academic Advancement Program that will be held on May 21st. It’s all day thing with breakfast and lunch with the Chancellor…</p>
<p>It’s a small affair actually, small is relative I know, but I assume around 400 or so? Maybe less…</p>
<p>BruinMichelle, I wouldn’t waste your time at the AAP meeting. I went last year and it was mostly boring. But if you are really intrested it wouldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>I feel bad about the STOMP conference… I was at UCLA for a good part of the day on Friday, and yet I decided against going to the conference. As far as I know though, at the STOMP thing they mostly focus on telling people how to get into the school… Considering I sent my SIR in the day before the conference, I don’t think I really need the counsling. :)</p>
<p>Whatsbruin…thank you, but no thanks. You need to learn to speak when your spoken to. That’s the trouble with kids these days…lol.</p>
<p>You said it was “mostly boring”, yet you didn’t substantiate why? Thats’ not really a strong argument, not one that I would take seriiously. anyway…I find it funny when people think things are boring, yet consider themselves a student…meaning, who cares if it’s boring? I frankly have nothing to do most days…and that’s boring. 
Learning about UCLA, being on the campus to me is not boring.</p>
<p>Allena, exactly…I took a tour and at the end she discussed admission at the very end in a 20-minute session…at that point she said that “admits” could go if they wanted and so I took that opportunity to go to the store…lol.</p>
<p>Easy there BruinMichelle, I was not trying to start any conflict. I was just telling the truth. I think just about everyone gets invited to these meetings. It could be beneficial to some. I think at the orientation people that did not go to the meeting will have a chance to make an appointment.</p>
<p>Listen…this whole site makes a person on edge. Ever heard of being facetious? Goodness, you come onto my thread and “give me the business?” I did not ask you what your opinion of it was, just if those “new admits” were going. My point exactly though, you still haven’t substantiated your unsolicited opinion.</p>
<p>I mean no offense, I’m not sure where you got that from. But it’s like how ****ed people were when admits went into a “reject” thread. It’s just unnecessary. lol Let’s all lighten up a bit, it’s just a school, a great school, but still…</p>
<p>Futhermore…I have not found anyone else who has been invited, so dispel that notion that everyone gets invited…</p>
<p>I did not enter a reject forum. You should take it easy and chill. At least step foot in a class room before you start mouthing off and acting like you know it all.</p>
<p>i got one of those invitations…and a phone call…and a card in the mail!!!</p>
<p>Very neat…you’re only the second person to have said that actually…I would have thought there’d be more. Oh well, more muffins for me…</p>
