<p>I see, but it’s not like most people got one of those emails? I didn’t get one…hope this doesn’t mean anything, you kinda scared me :)</p>
<p>yeah highschoola…I didn’t get any emails either and I think I have an excellent shot at UCLA.</p>
<p>I got the scholarship call, but no emails…I think I have a decent shot, since my GPA is good, but my major is bizecon, which makes it pretty hard to get in I guess.</p>
<p>If you can get into UCLA as a bizecon major, then you can do anything (almost).</p>
<p>you mean, it’s that hard to get it and once you’re in you have many doors open? Or did I get you wrong?</p>
<p>Bizecon at UCLA is so competitive (probably the most competitive major at any university, aside from regular econ), that you would have to be something special to get admitted. Now CAL, on the other hand, is much more severe and we are talking about a totally different animal here.</p>
<p>I knew it was pretty hard to get in, but looking at last year’s transfer profile, they admitted almost 20% and the average GPA was 3.80. There were a couple other majors with figures worse than that. 20% admitted doesn’t sound that bad, considering how competitive it is…</p>
<p>ugg…i was reading old cc threads from this time last year and it was very depressing. For my major, comm studies, no one is seriously considered under a 3.8…i have a 3.79…this is horrible! I am so close…but not close enough…</p>
<p>=(</p>
<p>3.8 and 3.79 are not close enough? You make me question the meaning of “enough.” What is your “enough” vs the geneal “enough?”</p>
<p>A person who was accepted into UCLA comm studies last year (with a 3.84 --allie) said she was told that “no one with a gpa under 3.8 is seriously considered”…I really hope that isn’t true. I just feel so depressed…UCLA is by far my #1…</p>
<p>lol kelly, I can only imagine how neurotic you and all of us will be the last 5 minutes before they post decisions.</p>
<p>How “credible” is she? Is she the adcom? How does she know “no one with a GPA under 3.8 is seriously considered?” How sure is she? What evidence can she support her own statement? Any realistic statistics? Is she hearing it from some people? Who are those some people? Are they adcoms? …etc </p>
<p>Come on… i don’t mean to offend you or anything; use your critical thinking a little bit.</p>
<p>i know…i can’t go to sleep now…I can only imagine how sleep deprived I will be come the 28th…30th…or whenever the #$ll they decide to post the decisions…</p>
<p>If only I could do it all over again…my first semester is what hurt me…after being out of school a number of years, I got several B’s…I know now I would get all A’s…but what good does that do now? :(</p>
<p>kev she’s just releasing off some of her anxiety.</p>
<p>i have an idea lets post our gpas then put ucla’s average admit gpa right next to it. this is our gpa after fall semester.</p>
<p>History= my GPA 3.53/ UCLA GPA admit 3.52.</p>
<p>I don’t know what to make of this.</p>
<p>Man, I had a 2.8 GPA my FIRST YEAR!!! but a 3.91 for the last two years. so a 3.68 gpa transferable in the end…if only I was able to redo the first year!</p>
<p>yeah…i know…I should have a more cynical eye…but it’s so hard! Also, I never received any phone call from a ucla alumni…when I was reading cc archives, someone said if you received a phone call regarding the alumni scholarship…it was a pretty good sign of acceptance.</p>
<p>I hope I’m reading way too much into these silly threads…but it’s all I have to go on…</p>
<p>sandkicks, it means you are in a good position!</p>
<p>Mine is psychology with a 3.68 UCLA avg admit: 3.59 (I think). I still don’t feel very good about it tho.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, my bad, I didn’t realize that… but my intention was to clear thing up a little bit for her though… anyways, hey tall Kelly, feel free to release your anxiety… 
smile :D</p>
<p>Willdo as long as you have igetc and psych prereqs done you should be fine!</p>
