<p>^Amen to that. Can’t put a price on freedom! I believe I am actually more well off then my parents at this point. My dad said that to me in high school and I haven’t lived there since. :)</p>
<p>i only wish my parents were supporting me financially…</p>
<p>It’s possible, but I would have to save everything I have and have no leisure life… with the kind of pay I get… Plus I don’t plan on working when I transfer… at least during my first year.</p>
<p>So I pretty much have to live off my current savings ($2000), grants, and my parent’s support my first year to wherever I transfer… <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>Sweetny, ucla or ucb?</p>
<p>woah woah woah woah woah…lois this is not my batman cup.</p>
<p>are UCLA decisions really opening up today at 5?</p>
<p>I want UCLA but I skrewed myself by dropping Calc 2 (although I have excellent reasons for dropping) so I guess my only hope is UCB. Why do I feel like I am not going to be able to transfer until next year… :(</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In some ways yes, in some ways no. UCSD is just really strong in one thing (econometrics), whereas UCLA’s a bit more balanced.</p>
<p>UCSD is a great school, but is there a reason why it doesn’t get much national recognition? </p>
<p>When people across the country think of great California universities, they usually think of Stanford, Berkeley, and UCLA. It seems like UCSD is not that well known by the general American public outside of California, as if it’s more like an afterthought that few know or even heard of it.</p>
<p>Wait, is it really going to be released at five o’clock tonight??? oh man, why is my heart pumping at this moment?</p>
<p>Well Nate Cali, you can only have a limited number of schools worth mentioning per state, and unfortunetly for UCSD, california has too many. </p>
<p>Also, god forbid California have TOO many good schools to be able to list…:)</p>
<p>the reason ucsd isnt that known is because they dont have a football team. Football teams usually generate more publicity to the school.</p>
<p>With that in mind, when people say California, USC would also be on the list of good schools in cali (their football teams generates a lot of publicity across the country)</p>
<p>My hope is that I get into either Berk or UCLA… Not both… </p>
<p>I don’t want to have to choose…</p>
<p>Of course a 3.82 for English is no gurantee for cal or UCLA…So maybe there will be no choice…UCSD 
Good Luck…Why is 5:00 taking so long to get here!</p>
<p>Mojo - Based on your criteria CAL TECH should be a school nobody has heard of… Just playing devils advocate… A football team helps!</p>
<p>“Wait, is it really going to be released at five o’clock tonight??? oh man, why is my heart pumping at this moment?”</p>
<p>apparently it is.</p>
<p>I also cant sit still right now.</p>
<p>a 3.8 i think is a guarantee to ucla if all requirements are met, lol</p>
<p>Great quote bobbak! I think this thread needs more family guy quotes to break the tension.</p>
<p>verdet, when i was a little kid, i didnt know cal tech existed lol…but i definately knew of ucla…</p>
<p>If you have a 3.82 in English, I’m pretty sure you’ll get in.</p>

<p>Thankfully I have TAP to push me over, but that wont help for UCB! </p>
<p>One really cool thing about UCLA is the honors college. That appears to be unqiue to the entire UC system</p>
<p>Mojo - Yeah I agree but when employers look at a person from Cal Tech vs UCLA… Well that isn’t even a comparison… Same with MIT, I think they may have a football team??? But I totally agree, football helps get the exposure.</p>
<p>5:00pm;;;; finally…</p>
<p>“Great quote bobbak! I think this thread needs more family guy quotes to break the tension.”</p>
<p>:D glad someone caught that!</p>
<p>Gotta love everyone on here with gpa’s > 3.75 worrying.
Im sitting here with a 3.35, I need to be the one worrying lol.
You guys have all done great and I think most of you will get in. But hey, none of us are admissions people, so we cant really predict anyones chances :)</p>
