<p>Thanks Smith415. I currently have a 3.7 that I’m trying to hang onto. I am almost complete on IGETC. Do you mean have prereqs for my major done?</p>
<p>passion,
in response to your post. I’m not understanding why your identifying a state school= a high grade(GPA) and a UC= a low grade(GPA)??? Especially when it comes to comparing UCD and Sac State. Some of the classes at both of those schools have the same professors and same curriculum. Both my Mandarin & Sociology professors teach at both of those schools. If your making a decision based only on what kind of grades you are going to get then I would chose the UC over the state school. The name carries allot more weight later on down the road and a state school is not necessarily easier as noted above, just cheaper.</p>
<p>GPA doesn’t transfer!!!</p>

<p>Who’s excited?</p>
<p>dhl,
I’m not sure, but one of my co-worker’s husband went to CAL for 3 years and dropped out during senior year. He said he always thought he would go back one day which he never did…now hes a mangaer at a post office. not sure if that’s a failure at not but he has regrets so I guess so.</p>
<p>who wants to go to cal day with me and raid the office of undergrad admissions ;)</p>
<p>i will, i will…oh, oh, oh…pck me! pick me!..lol,lol</p>
<p>tomorrow, im gonna go kiss the floor of uci because:</p>
<p>1-they gave me an admissions decision since february 20th
2-they offered me 15k in finaid grants
3-there’s a target nearby (the closest target to ucsb is 50 miles away)</p>
<p>UCI gave me a VERY generous financial aid award also. I’m definately going to have a REALLY tough decision if I dont get into UCLA.</p>
<p>can a late financial aid form affect my chances for admission?</p>
<p>luvtoolearn:
I meant that I thought classes at CSUs are easier than UC’s so that I could have a chance of obtaining decent GPA. So according to you, the materials covered at these two systems are pretty much the same, right? I don’t really get it. If their classes are the same why we need high GPA to get in UCs. I always thought of UC schools are superior comparing to CSU schools. Maybe I’m wrong. Thanks for your info, luvtolearn.</p>
<p>dude. reading this thread makes my wait unbearable…</p>
<p>okay…gotta take my mind off this. now, how do i do that?? let’s see…listen to some bach and vivaldi, start reading Decline and Fall…climb buildings if i have to…self-flagellate my self and fast and pray to God for this sinful preoccupation with success…cut my ear if i have to…AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH how should channell this rage…wisdom… BIG BROTHER get out of my thoguht!!! …NOOO… please, Einstein, get out!!! …John Nash…yes teach me governing dynamics…modern architecture… harvard…autumn…physics…genius…</p>
<p>okay. there. i’m settled now.</p>
<p>yoyomang: it won’t affect your admissions, but will probably affect how much aid you get.</p>
<p>uhh…why the hell did i just post that?? anways…any ideas on how to take my mind off this business??</p>
<p>sauronvoldemort: you tell me, this wait is killing me too!! One more week till UCLA announces…</p>
<p>I am on my spring break and I guess having so much free time makes the wait much unbearable. On regular school days, I don’t think about it much because my mind is so preoccupied.</p>
<p>Well, instead of self-flagellate-ing yourself, you can try playing sports, going to the gym, running, or something normal. Hahaha…</p>
<p>Do UCLA decisions come out on the 26th? Thursday, right?</p>

<p>I’ve got this on my financial aid for UCD. Does anyone know what “Entering UG Scholarship- NH” is? Is it grant or something we need to payback or is it a scholarship that I’m eligible to apply for? Darn this is so confusing.
UCI is pretty nice. They offer me 15K financial aid.</p>
