<p>Niggit42, no way! bro, you are cool my man! cool to the bone. I just didn’t like verdet shattering my dream of “free snitch school”.</p>
<p>unknown: i went through some crazy stuff over ucla recently. but in short… the evaluator told me to send her some papers and it was kind of implied that once i do i’m in. i sent them yesterday and am expecting to hear back tomorrow.</p>
<p>verdet, I hope you get accepted to Cal, you love that school and I respect that. </p>
<p>I’m gonna go now and get some cookies from Albersons and come back and study…you are all welcome to join.</p>
<p>maybe i’ll see you in some english classes verdet.
i’m honestly looking forward to the challenge. some of their professors are serious leaders in their field (like professor bishop, who’s basically the go-to person for joyce).</p>
<p>i’m a native so caler but i moved to berkeley this year and looove it. the living environment is completely different. it’s great. sometimes i have my doubts since it doesn’t really compare to internship opportunities and stuff like that in the LA area… but i guess you can’t have it all (unless you don’t care about that stuff).</p>
<p>peep2, I’m sure you are in man!</p>
<p>also: don’t get TOO freaked out by cal, guys. i think over time you kind of get used to it and you rise up to the standard. all 3 of my roomies are students (mcb, public health, international relations) and while they study a lot they also definitely have the time for a social life. i only witnessed one instance of crying haha.</p>
<p>thanks unknown… i actually wouldn’t have even pushed it if it wasn’t for you guys. i was completely depressed until someone here told me i “better appeal that ****” and it really pushed me to call them. most people i know just let the news sink in. that’s why i told you guys about my situation; i was hoping i could make the same difference for someone. so thanks whoever that was. :)</p>
<p>The physics at JC almost made me cry today, but i FINALLY found the equation i was missing…</p>
<p>Voltage=(d)E !!! How could a teacher not give that equation in lectures but expects us to solve homework with questions that require it without assigning a textbook to the class.</p>
<p>I hope I make the ucla appeal cuz I have a feeling i’m getting into cal…</p>
<p>great to hear!! goodluck peep =) niggit, i will keep that in mind!! haha. we’ll all facebook when we find out where we’re going. so if i do plan to go to law school… the difference between ucla and haas won’t be that great right? i mean i can’t go wrong… it’s just… yes, i’m chinese so it’s the prestige thing that gets me (actually, my parents) but yeah.</p>
<p>lolol baron davis from half court lololol go warriors</p>
<p>ooohnelle i don’t think it’ll make a difference at all. and if you really take advantage of all the internship opportunities in the la area when you’re there, you’ll be really well off.</p>
<p>thanks peep! it’s just haas and not regular econ or the potential decision would be easier. i’m leaning towards la… actually falling in love with the school =) but everyyyyyone is telling me to go to haas (given i get in) i just feel like its easier if i decide before i have to actually choose… haha.</p>
<p>i’m going to seriously consider berkeley, even though my chances there is pretty slim… but there are reasons why i think i will go to a better grad school if i went to ucla: the kids in berkeley is way too smart and u wont get a good grade because of that, thus lowering ur chances to good grad school.</p>
<p>but then, berkeley IS better. outside east-asia and america berkeley is recognized, ucla is not.</p>
<p>You can’t go wrong. It’s what you do with your degree not where you came from. Most people make it when they grab an oppurtunity and wrestle it into submission.</p>
<p>ahhhhhhhhhhhhh…someone help me!!!..berkeley’s decision is tomorrow!! TOMORROW!!!..do u realize how close i am from going completely berserk??? i am shaking all over…i can’t see…mommy!!!mommy!~ ahhh…please don’t hurt me!!! please papa, make the rabbits stop…stop them from poking me!!! ahhh…papa…</p>
<p>thanks guys!! btw sauron, i have many cousins/relatives in china and they all recognize ucla =) in parts of asia, ucla>ucb and in some vice versa, but they know both are great schools.</p>
<p>what should i do, to calm myself???</p>
<p>yes, i think digging a swimming pool, and not sleeping to-night, will calm me…i’m so energetic…i think i can cut a tree down…</p>
<p>write poetry. enlighten us like you usually do. hahah</p>
<p>why do asians regard ucla so highly…berkeley is better…</p>
<p>yeah I thought it was the other way around.?</p>
<p>I have a friend from Japan, he will only go to UCB, he says he has to because it is highly regarded over there.</p>
<p>i’m talking about overseas. because there are sometimes more ucla grads that work in a certain area of china. other parts, ucb. i’m not sure, but they definitely do recognize ucla.</p>
