<p>zemookmook, the problem is that engineering statistics is offered very rarely, because the demand is so low. I emailed Lisa Markus who does scheduling for the math department and she said it might be offered Spring 2008, which makes for possibly once in at least the two years that I’ll be here.</p>

<p>I think the statistics with a calculus prerequisite requirement isn’t necessary if you take a year of calculus that’s equivalent to Berkeley’s Math 1A-B series. If your calc series is equivalent to the Math 16A-B series, then you might be in a different situation.</p>

<p>dude you do talk some sense my friend! Tell me how can I keep my self-esteem at a UC?</p>

5423

<p>ucsd hasn’t finished releasing decisions yet? I would’ve thought all is out by now. What majors left?</p>

5424

<p>engineering, most of my friends have yet to hear from UCSD.</p>

5425

<p>LOL I just looked at my UC David financial aid package:</p>

<p>Contributions<br>
Student Self Help Expectation 4,000<br>
Student Contribution 660<br>
Parent Contribution 18,638<br>
Additional Resources 0<br>
Total Contributions $ 23,298 </p>

<p>Financial Need $- 2,484 </p>

<p>How generous… my parents have to cough up 19,000 a year</p>

5426

<p>ucdavis can suck my ucd</p>

5427

<p>how is ucd that expensive for you? are you oos?</p>

5428

<p>That UCB aid packages are even worse…</p>

5429

<p>I have to learn to love it… it’s the only uc that’s accepted me so far</p>

5430

<p>nope I’m in state</p>

5431

<p>Those of you who got accepted to UCI, were you able to see the fin. aid package in the site immediately?</p>

<p>Cuz I just got accepted yesterday and it’s still saying my financial aid award is under review…</p>

5432

<p>Hey guys I have a question for everybody. If you could please answer the following three questions for UCLA, UCD, UCSD, UCI, UCSB</p>

<p>1) How is the social life in general?</p>

<p>2) How is its fame in regards to academics?</p>

<p>3) Class size on average?</p>

<p>4) How demanding?</p>

<p>BTW, you guys think USNEWS.COM is accurate?</p>

5433

<p>Even in state is getting expensive. I believe with the new increases that just the mandatory fees are 15k per year. Not including classes, housing, food, books, etc…</p>

<p>I estimate everything around 25 per year</p>

<p>Hey Unknown, what major are you talking about because that is a huge factor.</p>

5434

<p>UCLA

  1. My friends are having an awesome time at UCLA… the serial party-ers can even head out to USC on the weekends… and even some of my more serious friends are having a good time.
  2. It is in constant competition with Berkeley obviously, but it’s pretty damn famous. Even folks from Canada (who really have NO idea about our school system) have heard of UCLA.
  3. Large of course, and it’s to be expected
  4. I haven’t heard of anyone stressing out more than someone normally would during midterms/finals…</p>

<p>Irvine

  1. Social life could be better. UCI is pretty clique-ish (along the lines of race).
  2. Certain departments are renowned, but it pretty much lives in the shadow of UCLA. It is said that UCI folks are filled with UCLA rejects.
  3. Large
  4. A few of my friends have been able to maintain a 3.8+ GPA… so if you’re seeking a high GPA for grad school and you want to go to a UC, consider it.</p>

<p>ucsb:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>even though there are parties, you really dont meet new ppl or make friends at parties. so in terms of making friends, etc, its just like any other uc</p></li>
<li><p>bad reputation- many ppl do not regard highly a ucsb degree because of its bad reputation (except maybe engineering)</p></li>
<li><p>class size: lower division 400-850, upper divisions 50-450, very rarely less than 50</p></li>
<li><p>regardless of its bad reputation, its very demanding. very very easy to get a “pass”, c, or d, but difficult to get b’s, and very difficult to get A’s. some professors try to prove a point against the schools image and are very difficult, like in the econ and hist departments. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>average undergrad gpa range: 2.5-2.7</p>

5436

<p>Verdet, it says that books and supplies cost about $2000 on the Davis thing. It sucks because I don’t know how happy my parents would be funneling that kind of money for just an OKAY UC.</p>

5437

<p>TO UCLA
Tap, 3.62, Business Econ, ended up dropping Calc II and Calc II is pre req
for business econ. Alternative major was Econ- International area studies.</p>

<p>Do i have chance at all?</p>

5438

<p>umm no. at least not for bizecon. you must complete all the pre-reqs, or you gonna get rejected, no matter how high your gpa is.</p>

5439

<p>Ok then i am going to become a history for my college who got rejected with TAP… GREAT !</p>

5440

<p>Do you have your foreign language requirement done for your alternate major?</p>
