<p>startrak: do you know what we need to bring to the reception? Like acceptance letter, financial aid letter? I’m going to the reception tomorrow too.</p>
<p>i’m completely new to college confidential…and also completely desperate to transfer to ucla</p>
<p>i’d be transferring next year, applying this fall. can you guys direct me to a thread that would tell me what the hell i’m supposed to be doing to transfer? what ucla is expecting from econ majors, gpa, how long i have to get that gpa, essay, etc…</p>
<p>i go to ucsd, applying for economics</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>what you need: 3.8. nothing. and why are you transferring out of ucsd economics, if i may ask?</p>
<p>passionate, I’m not quite sure. If you RSVP’d, I don’t think they’d need your letter of acceptance since the only way someone can RSVP is if they were admitted. I’m not going to bring any of that stuff, I’m sure if you wanted to discuss your fin. aid, you would want to bring that, but I don’t want to.</p>
<p>Guys, I need some advice.
I’m currently applying to University of Washington
and I was accepted to UC Davis, but I’d rather go to
UW. However, UW doesn’t give out decisions until
june, july. What should I do?</p>
<p>just do the sir for davis, then get see what haps.</p>
<p>Ya submit SIR for davis and lose $100 if you change your mind. NO REFUNDS.</p>
<p>I just scheduled a tour for me and my family for UCLA. We are going on Tuesday June 29th</p>
<p>olieolie…are you a CA resident? If so, are you sure you want to pay that out of state tuition?</p>
<p>Smith, I can’t wait to hear back about your UCLA trip. It is so beautiful here, castle-like university with a sunny weather. Personally, the weather doesn’t tickle my fancy, neither do the “cliques” as I hear UCLA is popular for but overall, UCLA has a reputation for being a great school and I hear this year, it was the most applied to school! So congratulations :)</p>
<p>By the way, luvtoolearn, I’m coming down to Berkeley next weekend for that orientation event (forgot what the even was about :p). Are you planning to go?</p>
<p>luvtoolearn, I’m a washington state resident so it’s cheaper for me to go to university of washington.</p>
<p>I want to transfer for a lot of reasons…I’ll just name a few
UCSD is a science school, no doubt, and I don’t feel like they really make Econ students belong
It annoys me that some of the Econ students here take it b/c it’s easier than Bio, not because they like it
Secluded campus…not much of a social scene, yeah you make your own scene but if the college weren’t so gloomy at night I think it would be easier
When I tell ppl I am an Econ major, they look at me and think something along the lines of “Pretty girls always pick easy majors.” …</p>
<p>Hopefully that doesn’t make ppl not want to go to UCSD. To be honest, if I didn’t get into UCLA on transfer I wouldn’t be completely upset. It’s a good area, the people are nice, and the professors are great. A lot of research opportunities…just not the right fit for me.</p>
<p>How long do I have to get that 3.8? I won’t have that 3.8 by when I need to apply in Fall, but I should by Spring '08. Also, will community college classes be figured into my GPA, or will that just be used to show I took the classes? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>off to CAL wee~</p>
<p>Why?! Why was abandonned to post alone in this gray, gray-scale and monotone place?!</p>
<p>lol I just visited cal for the first time…</p>
<p>so damn ghetto…</p>
<p>but much better than ucla/westwood.</p>
<p>That reception was almost pointless. I bet all the information that was at those tables could be found online / over the phone. And where the heck were the tours at? Yeesh.</p>
<p>if you guys are still in berkeley, go have dinner at the gourmet ghetto (not to be confused with the asian ghetto on durant) up shattuck! or go try one of the cute restaurants down college ave. or go check out san fran.</p>
<p>Mojojojo just got back from berkeley!
and here is what he thinks:</p>
<p>the pros:
*the campus is nice
*the staff is friendly (or at least they seemed)
*the area is not ghetto! some parts were reminiscent of venice beach (The “dirty” area) and other parts looked like Palos Verdes in LA.</p>
<p>the cons:
*oakland and the metro, or “bart” as the bay area calls it, is GHETTO AS HELL!!
and somewhat dangerous looking 
When you are in the metro and look out into the streets, you see that its worst than USC’s ghetto area! (it kinda looks like city of industry mixed with USC’s ghetto area)
*Also, the school is too big
*It seemed more like a tourist zone rather than a school!</p>
<p>At this point in time, mojojojo is confused on where he is gonna go! he likes some things about berk (mainly the prestige) but the traveling expenses + traveling on bart (dangerous) makes not worth it so much :-</p>
<p>I liked the school, but i dont know if i liked it enough to go there. I wasnt wowed or anything…I will prolly feel more comfortable in LA or something.</p>
<p>
10 am at the bell tower</p>
