<p>boy, since i’m in tap. i should get decision from ucla first. now THAT’S a comfort.</p>
<p>lol @ verdet, what a waste of time! you should have known that UCs dont count it against you if your CC does not offer a course thats required :p</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not 100% if this is true but my counselor told me that if the CCC that you go to doesn’t offer a major pre-req the UCs won’t hold it against you when making their decision.</p>
<p>ha, I typed that in seconds after mojo</p>
<p>yeah 
Angljc knows her/his stuff! we are both soc. majors and are competing for the same spot! :p</p>
<p>but I’m sure going out of your way to take a course that most closely resembles their prereqs will give you an edge</p>
<p>soci majors are the coolest</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>thats dumb. First of all, why would you take a course that is NOT the required course in the first place? thats wasting your time even more. Secondly, the school wont care. Berkeley has a section specifically for major pre-reqs only, you cant list anything other than that. Lastly, besides the list of pre-reqs and GE classes, the UCs dont care what classes you take as “elective”.</p>
<p>edit: angl, i thought soc. majors were cool too, but now i kinda wanna go into business 
maybe i’ll try to double major or minor or something…</p>
<p>I am not thinking it was a waste of time because I would have had to take it at the UC level if I didn’t take it at another CC. </p>
<p>Maybe they wouldent have counted it against me if my CC didn’t offer it, but I am glad I took it somewhere that did, so I wont have to take it at the UC.</p>
<p>Anyway, it’s all a moot point now. The only thing that matters is getting a decision next week and the 30th. Feels like an eternity away. Hopefully TAP students really will find out the first day and not mid May.</p>
<p>OMG I just looked, and I finally got into Davis. Yay! </p>
<p>3.86 at time of app, poli sci major</p>
<p>And, I didn’t get asked for winter grades, and now you guys are scaring the crap out of me.</p>
<p>Congrats Diamond - I told you you were insane for worrying! Your app must have been towards the bottom of the stack: Bottom of the pile sucks, but you are in!</p>
<p>thanks Verdet, it lifted a huge load off my shoulders. I didn’t get in as a Freshman, so I’m heck of excited that I got in… </p>
<p>but now I have to worry about not receiving any request from cal regarding winter grades!</p>
<p>Did anyone else get a call from UC Berkeley to invite you to go to cal day?</p>
<p>mojo, you’re missing my point. Let’s use Cal’s English department as an example:</p>
<p>At a lot of CC’s, the only articulated course of the English 45 series is a type of English Lit class (usually something like “English Literature”). I have a friend that’s going to the Berkeley Community College and they offer all three versions of the 45 series (A, B, C) but they’re called 85 instead of 45; the descriptions and course names are exactly the same as their Cal counterparts (as well as their unit values). Now imagine someone is going to the Los Rios Community Colleges (where they don’t offer any of the 45 series and instead offer the aforementioned “English Literature” class). If said person opts to drive out to Berkeley and sign up for the 85 class at BCC, then I’m sure that person would be viewed much more favorably by the Cal adcoms (probably mostly by virtue of their dedication of driving a few hundred miles a week merely to get oriented with a Cal-esque class).</p>
<p>Do you understand what I meant now?</p>
<p>So do you guys agree that those people who go to quarter schools and didn’t get a request for winter grades after the initial app update are going to get rejected?</p>

<p>Not sure about the Berkeley link, sorry.</p>
<p>Anyway, what’s yer major?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Getting a call for cal day is a very very good sign.</p>
<p>Congrats.</p>
