<p>They collect the housing applications up to a certain date, then they do a lottery.</p>
<p>I feel sad knowing this information. All of my friends got into Berkeley except for me. 
Oh well</p>
<p>i know a few people from new high schools around the ghetto (we all know new schools = easier) and they got accepted to places like U berk, UCSB, etc…whats their gpa now? around a 2. something, and at first were in academic probation (gpa below 2.0)</p>
<p>anyone thinking about the co-ops for spring housing? everyone says it’s THE best experience at berkeley. i’m really thinking about it… i refuse to live in dorms again.</p>
<p>Can this thread reach 10000 posts before it officially dies?</p>
<p>sent my SIR to ucla!!!</p>
<p>mojo, i don’t why u’re going nuts over housing app. i wont need to file that cuz i’m going to live with the homless!!! go homeless!!! Lord Greatness shalt be saint among heroes.</p>
<p>so… i heard that for freshmen, living at dorms is required for at least one year. is this true for transfer students? cuz, if it is then i’m gonna do something bad to be kicked out, so i can join the homeless.</p>
<p>the “streets” of LA will give you a unique education that can be found no where else… ;D</p>
<p>Okay guys, my situation is probably quite similar to itskenny. But anyway.</p>
<p>3.6 GPA, international development studies major. Got into UCLA. No F’s, D’s, W’s or C’s in my record.</p>
<p>I am getting a B right now in macroeconomics. However, I am struggling in that class. We have three more tests going on and I am very very scared. The other day in class when I was listening to the lecture, I didn’t understand jack crap. Sorry to offend any econ majors but I HATE ECON! </p>
<p>If I get a D, or a W, will I get rescinded from UCLA?</p>
<p>I already have 70 units by the way. IGETC certified.
Macro econ is also required for my major.</p>
<p>Whatever you do, don’t drop it. Get the C if you must.</p>
<p>Yams,</p>
<p>No offense, but if you can’t get through macroecon, you’re going to have a bear of a time in IDS. I recommend you get tutoring. How can you understand development if you can’t understand the movement of money and intersections of economies on the global scale?</p>
<p>There are plenty of people out there who can tutor you.</p>
<p>Thanks guys.</p>
<p>I will do whatever I can to keep up with this class.</p>
<p>Got into UCSD.
Sent in my SIR.
Got financial awards.
Got a facebook.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Have fun at your respective schools.
And for those of you who didn’t get in, I’m sorry, but there’s always next year! Good luck with everything.</p>
<p>Congrats Slim…UCSD is a fantastic school…</p>
<p>send SIR to UCLA yesterday</p>
<p>How did this thread get to the 2nd page???</p>
<p>The red star is gone?</p>
<p>all the east coast threads are burying ours…don’t let it die guys…lol,lol</p>
<p>does anybody know the general scale of price difference between living in an off campus apartment compared to living in a dorm/apartment on campus?</p>
<p>I’ve been checking craigslist under eastbay and Berkeley/Emeryville/Albany is very pricey unless you have a few roomates</p>
<p>hmm how much does living on campus cost?</p>
<p>that’s a good question…I never really looked into it because I have a kid so it’s student parent (family) housing for me or I stay where I am and shuttle which is what I plan on doing. For some reason you get more money in F/A when you live on campus so it must also be pricey.</p>
