<p>i think 90 percent of the people who applied from my school got in with tap.</p>
<p>ok…you want to know something depressing? If I had only gotten an A instead of a B in one of my classes, I would have a 3.86 instead of a 3.79…for a comm major at ucla, that’s the difference between probably getting in and probably not getting in…</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>Here we go with the same misleading statistics about TAP; I suggest you actually search the forum, shy538; you will find a plethora of discussion regarding how much of a difference TAP makes.</p>
<p>How is everyone holding up? We only have about 9 days until we hear from UCLA.</p>
<p>if im a biz-econ major…which school is better…riverside or SB?</p>
<p>^ UCR</p>

<p>The Berkeley admissions office is killing me! I’ve been on the phone with them all freaking week trying to find out what was going on with that disability questionnaire … and it’s been pretty pointless.</p>
<p>The first admissions officer had never even heard of the form before. The next gave me a number that has, apparently, been disconnected. The third told me that she had no idea if I had submitted it in time for consideration or not (but I should be proud that I undertook the Herculean task of answering thirteen questions on an electronic survey). Finally, today the person on the other end of the phone told me she didn’t know anything, wasn’t willing to give me the contact info for someone who could answer the question, and–to top it all off–told me I should just wait for May 1st to roll around. Very helpful bunch these people are. I’m kind of starting to resent them.</p>
<p>Picking riverside over SB is just crazy.</p>
<p>1) SB is ranked much higher overall than UCR
2) SB’s location is 100x better than UCR
3) Riverside sweatshirts are ugly…I mean, they say Riverside! ewww</p>
<p>No offense to anyone from Riverside, btw… :)</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>All of that may be true, but UCR has an actual business department.</p>
<p>SB does not have a business department?</p>
<p>I’m assuming it does, you are just implying it’s not very good…</p>
<p>In that case, I think the reason the higher-ranked UC’s (with the exception of Berkeley) do not offer business degrees at the undergraduate level is because they are not nearly desirable in the work force. Most employers wants the MBA’s</p>
<p>Tallkell you think that is bad that you got a B instead of an A. My first semester I got a C in my intro to film class which if i had an A in that class my gpa would have been a 3.60 even instead of a 3.53. It was my only C in UC transfer course work, so i’m not that mad about it and i also had a history course that semester that i focused my full attention on that kind of distracted me from my work in the film class. the course was actually a lot more difilcult then it seems. We had something like 100 question tests then after the 100 questions you had to write a 2 page essay in class with about an hour and 25 minutes to work with.not fun. but we did watch cool movies in there.</p>
<p>Funny you say, “the course was actually a lot more difilcult then it seems.”…so true! I took Intro to Film my second semester and barely…i mean BARELY got an A. Like you said, focused all my energy on more challenging classes. </p>
<p>Yeah, it’s so hard thinking about what I could have done differently to better my chances for ucla and cal…maybe not have gone to Vegas the weekend before a big exam or finnish a revision on an English paper instead of going to sleep early…but I guess it’s just human nature…never being satisfied.</p>
<p>Eschatos, at least you submitted it, and if it was submitted too late, what can you do at this point except appeal? If the form didn’t have a deadline I don’t think you can assume it was late; you could be fine.</p>
<p>I think the form was probably a verification more than anything. Maybe they were checking to see if you were honest. good luck.</p>
<p>Question: has anyone else been analyzing the cc archieves to give yourself an idea of your chances? </p>
<p>or am I just excessive compulsive?</p>
<p>i have been doing that since last august.lol. your not alone kell. I noticed that once last years thread got to the ucla decisions, it somehow all went to hell.some people just stopped posting.</p>
<p>Thanks for the well wishes. At this point, I’m just kind of ****ed that the admissions office hasn’t been helpful. Tie that frustration up with the anticipation we’re all feeling and you have one angry, angry little man. I see your point though.</p>
<p>don’t go to ucr</p>
<p>ucr is still a top 100 college</p>
<p>yeah, but so is Texas Christian University…enough said</p>
