<p>if i need to add a .5 unit pe class next quarter, do i need to report it to the uc’s?</p>
<p>Oh mxprodigy, UCLA has been giving lots of scholarship offers to any African Americans that have high GPAs. You are a tough applicant to consider.</p>
<p>Maybe a semester of calc won’t hurt since you have accounting and all. Just hope for the best.</p>
<p>Even if you update your app at this point, they may never even see it. I would go ahead and update your app to be on the safe side.</p>
<p>I thought affirmative action is illegal in public schools in california?</p>
<p>You didn’t know you had to take calc? All it takes is a two minute check on assist.org to figure this out. Seriously, not to point to you in particular, but for people to just take the advice of others as the set word is soooo stupid. Get out there and find out yourself. That’s why I try not to give advice in these threads anymore, cuz people need to go find out themselves…never rely on the word of another when dealing with something important. HTH</p>
<p>affirmative action is illegal
they only want to know your race/ethnicity to keep it as data
it’s a non factor</p>
<p>Yeah that is right. But you have to consider that I moved out here a year ago (the US that is) I didn’t even know how the US college system worked. I joined the CC and flew out here. had a weak to get a car driver’s license bank accounts and figure out where the hell the freeway is to get to school. I took business algebra cause i am trying to major in business or econ. Now in retrospect i comprehend the system but we all know that these counselors aren’t that great</p>
<p>Well bearclaw, they have specific scholarship money for African Americans. It’s due to last years lack of African Americans admitted. Illegal or not, there will still be complainers.</p>
<p>The above post makes me laugh…</p>
<p>Why does every UC track stats by race and the ethnic % are consistantly the same? Luck? Look through all these threads and throughout the internet you will find a term called URM and how to increase the % of URM. </p>
<p>Why does UCLA in the LA Times indicate they want to increase the % of African Americans in admissions if it is not a factor?. Race is certainly a factor in admissions.</p>
<p>mxdprodigy, don’t go to CSULB man. You’d be wasting your potential.
Calculus is probably the most fundamental class for economics. I would highly recommend staying at CCC and finishing up Calculus, maybe even past multivariable. It’s worth the extra year! You’re stats make you competitive for UCB, UCLA, certain Ivy schools, and much more. Try for more colleges, and if it doesn’t work out, turn to CSULB.</p>
<p>Your stats and talents are way too good to go to CSU. If you have to, go to CCC one more year and transfer to wherever you like!</p>
<p>verdet,</p>
<p>you say race is certainly a factor in admissions but…</p>
<p>“Proposition 209 was a 1996 California ballot proposition which amended the state Constitution to prohibit public institutions from discriminating on the basis of race, sex, or ethnicity.”</p>
<p>So you took a year of Accounting, year of econ, and stats for UCLA business econ but you didn’t even look on assist.org or even UCLA’s main website where it CLEARLY states the req’s for the major? Everyone has a story to tell about their life and all the hardships… but come on… not knowing what req’s to take for the major you want to transfer into? That’s just plain not caring.</p>
<p>For URM’s, they would seemingly use their potential to contribute to the academic diversity and vitality of the school. <= regurgitation of what they said on the site</p>
<p>Also, if you keep up that 4.0 i’d recommend applying to harvard and stanford too.</p>
<p>Yeah fully aware of 209. </p>
<p>Below is a link to Berkeley’s admissions statistics for the last 6 years, please explain to me how they constantly keep the minority %'s so consistent if they don’t use race as a factor. </p>
<p>Seriously, is it just luck that the % of the whole are consistent? </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.ucop.edu/news/studstaff.html[/url]”>http://www.ucop.edu/news/studstaff.html</a></p>
<p>Wanting to increase the %age of a certain race, and even trying to encourage it via scholarships, etc, is different than admitting based on race as a factor.</p>
<p>I believe I read somewhere that ever since the UCs got rid of affirmative action in the late 90s, many URMs are now going to private schools ,who can admit on race.</p>
<p>bearclaw, affirmative action has been outlawed, but schools still try to admit a little of every URM group one way or another. This year, one way UCLA is going around the low is by giving regents to many African Americans with good GPAs.</p>
<p>Which graph are you looking at? The numbers don’t seem consistent at all…</p>
<p>anyone have the link to the 2006 transfer thread??</p>
<p>I have been looking for that 2006 transfer thread also, if anyone finds it, pleaes post the link.</p>
