<p>why uci over ucla?</p>
<p>because i go to ucsb…so i know how much is demanded of me at a uc. </p>
<p>and also, i want to go to law school, so it doesnt matter where i go.
on the contrary, it would be better to go to uci because ucla is overrepresented in law schools, and law schools want academic diversity.</p>
<p>smith, im in the same boat. hopefully they dont revoke my admissions so I can hurry up and submit my SIR/housing forms!</p>
<p>and then theres the Cal problem, cause if i get in, that opens up a whole nother can of worms lol.</p>
<p>Mojo, people who couldn’t see fafsa were accepted…disproving your theory am I right?</p>
<p>Santa Bar: It doesn’t hurt or help you not to go to UCLA. Going to UCI will not hurt you in anyway, all that matters is grades + LSAT, but at the same time coming from UCLA won’t hurt you because they are “over represented”</p>
<p>LAX, i have yet to see someone who couldnt see a fafsa who was also accepted.</p>
<p>exceptions: those who didnt turn in fafsa.</p>
<p>smith415… i was hoping to see your acceptance…congrats!!! why would you be rescinded?</p>
<p>My understanding for law school is that they simply index you by variations of the following formula</p>
<p>Undergrad School Ranking (relative strength of the undergrad school) X GPA X LSAT score</p>
<p>mojo: I turned in a fafsa, and I couldn’t see aid info.</p>
<p>if the getty wasn’t in la, then berkeley. berkeley is supposed to be full of cool bizzare nerds and their school is pretty old-looking.</p>
<p>posts 6150 and 6666 represent someone else who turned in fafsa, couldn’t see info, and was accepted.</p>
<p>but since getty is so close-by and i want to stay in contact with my faithful right-hand man charizard, i will choose ucla.</p>
<p>my birthday was yesterday, 4/23, i ate so much… of pizza</p>
<p>I went to summer sessions at Berk and it was a great experience. </p>
<p>So far everyone (but sauron) would pick berk over UCLA. Hmmm, I still dont think I will have to actually make the choice. </p>
<p>I do like that UCLA has an honors college and a much bigger selection of classes. </p>
<p>I have been on the semester system, and the quarter system scares me.</p>
<p>Verdet, they take your LSAT roughly 60% (cept for Berk) and GPA 30% and EC/PS/Recs 10%…your undergrad makes NO difference. This coming from someone who’s bro is at law school and who’s being looking to attend, and researching law schools, for over two years. See dubyax3 dot lawschooldiscussion dot org and you can search through threads to see this topic raised.</p>
<p>LaxAttack09 :</p>
<p>you are oh so very true. i know ppl here from ucsb that go to berkeley or stanford.</p>
<p>so my theory: work less at uci, get good grades, kick ass on my lsat, and arrive at the same law school as a pesky overworked cal/ucla undergrad.</p>
<p>Ha, I hear ya there. If i dont get into Berk I’ll be headed to UCSB as well :)</p>
<p>And I’m totally not sure. Both UCLA and Berkeley have strong Political Science programs, and both schools have great recognition. UCLA is in a beautiful area, but Berkeley is verrrry close to home. It’s tough because a lot of people in my family are expecting me to go to Berkeley automatically if I get in, without even considering others.</p>
<p>hey sauron, maybe u’ll grace some of my classes with ur presence hahaha >:D</p>
<p>^ are you pre-law? cuz your major really doesnt matter (unless if its a real joke major like theater arts or film studies)</p>
<p>diamond i usely dont chime in to personal issues, but this one hits close to home. I went to a school cuz my parents wanted me to, I HATED it, dropped out after about 4 months…Go where you want, cuz it’s gonna be u who succeeds/fails…</p>
