<p>passionate, I agree…We will talk about it. I’ll PM you in like a few days, if thats alright with you. I have 2 test coming up this week and not to mention finals!!</p>
<p>Definitely, it’s alright with me. I have finals coming up too but in 4 weeks. I guess I have more time to lay-back a bit.</p>
<p>man you are lucky! finals in 4 weeks? I got finals next week right after my third exam. I’m glad it will be over soon for us.</p>
<p>unknown…yup u got ur mind right too 
hahaa. i just figure id rather go there and get a goooood gpa than go to a sliiiiightly better school and struggle for a 3.2 or something…not that i dont like competition, i looove it. but i love my social life more 
still waiting on gtown though…that’d make choosing reeeeally difficult, yikes.</p>
<p>■■■■ cal tonight/tomorrow!</p>
<p>ckdunton, thats very true! One of my prof. who got all his degrees even PHD at Cal said that same thing, “You will work hard for a C”. He said, don’t go! straight up. To me that is the father of all advices!</p>
<p>You guys dont think the competition is not going to be the same at UCLA? </p>
<p>You are not dealing with Cal State kids there… </p>
<p>I mean its UCLA which is a pretty damn good school…</p>
<p>Maybe you could cruise at UCR or CSUXX, but UCLA is a seriosuly good school and I dont think all the smart kids go “lets go to cal and screw with people”</p>
<p>Yeah I agree with Verdet. UCLA is not by any means automatically easier. The only thing I can see that causes more problems at Cal is this added stress level brought on by the competativeness inside classroooms. I feel that UCLA will have it’s share, a good share, of that also. And of course it is going to be hard, if we knew it already, we would’t be going to college now would we :)</p>
<p>Ohhnelle, if your going into business law you are right on track. By the way, if I ever end up getting a company and being framed into stock violations, you can make a bundle off of me. (The enron lawyers made 23+ million) </p>
<p>And I think they should just transfer all textbooks to PDF with some sort of viewer. I saw a prototype design at UCSC. neat stuff.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh yeah we are like 130 Posts from 8000, hmmm I probably shoulda made a new post rather than edit. Oh well its up to you guys now!</p>
<p>yeah, but the competition is more cutthroat at berkeley, trustttt me. go onto princeton review and compare what the students say about both schools. i have friends at both, but the ones at la are always out partying and don’t have to struggle as much for good grades. i mean whatev, u don’t have to take my word for it, haha.</p>
<p>but ur right, ucla is definitely full of competitive, ambitious people…just not quite to the extent that berkeley is.</p>
<p>The kids on the Princeton Review message board are more neurotic than the kids on here…</p>
<p>I had friends go to both with equal stories about both… Bottom line…There both top tier universities and they are both going to be hard. </p>
<p>I would expect more obsessive kids at Berkeley because the competition to get in after high school is greater.</p>
<p>But your point is well taken…</p>
<p>It’s not that I don’t believe you. But I dont see how partying equals less stressful. Is it possible the UCLA kids have a different learning style, in that they prefer to have balance whereas those at Berkeley are academically focused. There is no way I am going to show up and just work 24 hours, I have already been doing that just to APPLY to places like Cal.</p>
<p>the competition at cal DOES scare me a little. i’m doing english, so it won’t be so bad for me (current students tell me it’s very doable)… but i’m going to feel weird sitting next to someone while having my lunch and wondering if they just screwed some nice joe over in class. not the most welcoming environment. :/</p>
<p>have you guys tried sign in the housing thingy for cal? because I did and I see the housing apps</p>
<p>Question: What is the last term(07 spring) minimum GPA? and minimum overall GPA for UCLA and Cal!(For those who are transfering fall 07) Not to get cancel on your acceptance. I noe SD wants minimum overall 3.0 with last term GPA 2.0. just wondering about UCLA and Cal!</p>
<p>What do you expect? UCLA is only 3 ranks below UCB…That being said, verdet, don’t compare UCB level of “student competitivness/snitchy-ness” to UCLA. A Phd holder straight from UCB told me this! He seemed very unhappy with UCB! from his face. He recommended everywhere but UCB…what does that tell ya? If you ask me to trust you over him, no can do. So, I don’t fully agree with you.</p>
<p>I am an English major as well. I took cal summer school with, according to ratemyprof…com, were hard. The classes were challenging and I literally spent every waking hour either writing or reading. A+ in one and A- in the other. </p>
<p>Students are split… Remember, there are some students who dont care about grad school and dont care about their GPA…</p>
<p>Unknown - My touchy aren’t you. Believe me don’t believe me is meaningless. They are just hearsay from students I know, and to boot, they are their opinions. If you are basing your whole judgement off one person, I pity you.</p>
<p>peep2, man how is your process going toward UCLA?</p>
<p>verdet, I pity the fool who thinks UCLA is a snitch like UCB</p>
<p>edit: no I’m not just basing it on him but by far he is the most trustworthy one ( PHD from CAL…MATH PHD). I don’t completly disagree with you but my man, UCLA is not like Cal…its same as far as academics goes…</p>
<p>Unknown are you trying to initiate a rivalry LOL, whats gonna happen if I get into Cal, we can’t be friends!!?!!! :(</p>
<p>Hey I love everything about UCLA… The only reasons I have for wanting to go to cal is to experience nor cal (native so cal)… </p>
<p>I still haven’t seen the acceptance for cal yet, but I won’t be crying If I get denied… UCLA sports rocks and next year their football team should have some game.</p>
<p>Enjoy the dream Unkown, enjoy the dream…</p>
