@Jiminlovee Go to the new student checklist, there’s a link to check your provisional financial aid letter. I got less aid from UCLA than Cal, but the overall cost is less at UCLA so the actual difference in cost to me was only a few hundred dollars.

@CalAlumandDad Thank you so much for your kind words! <3 And yes, I’ve decided to go to CSUN. They’ve offered me a full ride there.

@lilii99 Nah creating the login isn’t a commitment; submitting the SIR is the only way to accept admission.

Rejected

College transferring from: Pepperdine (US News ranked 46 in 2019)
Entering as: Junior
Major: Applied to Business Economics
GPA: 3.71
Units completed: 62 units after Spring semester (GPA 3.77-3.78 after Spring)
Pre-reqs completed: Missing the second English and I think that’s the main reason that I got rejected
Essay: 9/10 (I started two months earlier and revised it with my sister who graduated from an Ivy League university.)
Other schools applied to: USC, UCB Haas, UCLA, UCSD, UCI
Rejected by: UCB Haasm, UCLA (others still pending)

Comments:

  1. I got “A” in all the business classes that I have taken in Pepperdine: Financial Accounting, Business Calculus, Business Statistics, and Organizational Behavior. I thought this would be impressive. Most GEs I got an “A” or an “A-”. But I got two “B” in two Pepperdine only classes and that’s why my GPA is not a 3.8 or higher.

  2. I think missing the second English is the major reason of my rejection. Make sure you complete all the prereqs for both UCLA and USC. Otherwise, it will be a rejection.

Accepted as Cognitive Science Major!

Pre-reqs: Completed
IGETC: Completed
UCTAP: Yes
GPA: 3.78
Essays: Probably crappy

Congrats and best of luck to everyone

Ignore this lmao
