<p>Hello there guys I see that all of you are anxious awaiting the decision from getting admitted into UCLA. I was on the same boat one year ago and I remember all of the nervous moments I passed through. The transition has actually been very tough on me, everything is super much harder than a community college and I haven’t really enjoyed the experience to be honest. I hoipe you guys can have a much more smoother transition there are actually some people who do really well I just think the grading here is very arbitrary and biased. TA’s are actually the one’s who grade your work and not the Professors. To everyone who is transferring into economics, I want to let you know that this is the worst department ever, they are very biased, hard, and well there was a class that we took that the Professor got mad at us because we did well on the class and gave us a worser grade. There’s a lot of discrimination I would say, but if you choose the right professors and are lucky enough you can do well. I actually can’t wait to get out of here, and move on but I hope everyone who gets admitted celebrates and can like it here. Good luck to all of you and keep up the good work. Just a few days remaining, you guys will be fine! Take care</p>

<p>when you say discrimination, you mean discrimination against transfer students? or discrimination against certain types of students?</p>

<p>You really got into UCLA with that level of grammar? (srs).</p>

<p>^someone had to say it.</p>

<p>On bias: this is probably not the case, even in something as subjective as English. If there are people consistently getting A’s, which there are, it’s impossible for them to always end up on the right side of bias. I don’t want to assume too much, but this is what you typically hear from students that perform poorly.</p>

<p>I understand UC’s are harder, but they aren’t harder because they are biased. I think that claim is unfounded.</p>

<p>i am trying to get into UCLA Econ actually =D</p>

<p>can i ask why you chose UCLA? and how you did at your CC?</p>

<p>English is not easy to learn! I think he’s good for a non-native speaker.</p>

<p>:(
i write like a slob on College Confidential too.</p>

<p>@UCLA I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were a non-native speaker.</p>

<p>I know that you are just sharing your personal experience, but I believe you are exaggerating. The UCLA econ department probably isn’t the worst department ever.</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought UCLA had a top notch econ department. thats my major and I cant decide between UCD, UCSD, and UCLA. Want to go to UCLA for the college experience/academics.</p>

<p>I would assume that he means terrible as in the difficulty , not the quality of education</p>

<p>I’m trying to get into UCLA for the alumni license plate.</p>

<p>aww @ OP! I’ve had a weird college experience too haa-I went to a 4 yr school for 2 years before going to CC to transfer to a UC (if that happens)!
4 year schools, on the whole, are crazy stressful but the social life you can get, hopefully, is better and decent for you, right?! :stuck_out_tongue:
I hope.
I hear such mixed thoughts on all the UC’s, and I think it comes down to just trying to have the best experience for yourself, y’know? Maybe you should join clubs to blow off some stress? I hear there are over 900 lol! Why not?</p>
