** 2012 Official UCLA Transfer Decisions Thread **

<p>Sc2 yeah buddy</p>

<p>^^^ LOL. I have SC2 but I suck at it. For me, I have to play every single day just to stay good. If I don’t play for a week than I suck ass. lol. UCLA has a Starleague though.</p>

<p>Congrats to all getting acceptances! To those who have not, don’t give up! </p>

<p>@northbeach, thank you very much! I’m proud to soon call myself a Bruin :). And yes, cc counselors are so hit and miss, and here it depends on their mood/schedule… It’s really quite unfortunate. If I hadn’t been my own counselor I probably would have given up a long time ago and settled with a different school. Again, thank you. I really hope my post can reach out to people who are struggling, because it really is possible.</p>

<p>@iDizzle, Nice to meet you, fellow Anthro! Congrats on your acceptance! That is it exactly, you have to own up to your mistakes, accept them as they are, and do what you need to do to correct them. I know, it is ridiculous what counselors say to students. They should be more positive and say something more affirmative like, “It will be difficult, but it can be done” rather than “Choose a different school, it’s unlikely, end of story”. Here’s hoping there are more students out there who didn’t listen and achieved what they wanted. </p>

<p>I actually paid visit to my “counselors” this past week and informed them of my achievement, hoping they will take that info. and relay it onto other students so as to not put a damper on their dreams as well.</p>

<p>Did anyone receive their acceptance letter yet? My friend told me he got his but I’m still waiting.</p>

Keep that GPA as high as you can while participating in as many leadership-training extracurriculars as you can (make yourself stand out as much as possible)! Stay focused, study hard, and have confidence in yourself! Good Luck!!</p>

<p>And congrats to my fellow BRUINS!! :).</p>

<p>hit me up if you guys have any questions, comments, or concerns! Haha. GL to '13 transfer students!!</p>

<p>And idk how to make a thread here… lol</p>

<p>Okay, so I’m an admitted UCLA transfer for Anthropology and posted that here like hella ago.</p>

<p>Problem: I think I misreported a class! Or more like forgot to report it!</p>

<p>Okay, so idk why but supposedly I added a class at ITV (Mission College) during Summer… like Math 125 or something, which is weird because I definitely did not take that class. I just saw that I have a W on my unofficial transcripts stating that this class is on it. Honestly, this is weird because this was the time during which I dropped out of college and was having a major soul-searching, which I talked about on my personal statement.</p>

<p>Anyways, I just sent my preliminary ITV transcripts to UCLA, NOT KNOWING about that error that I had made.</p>

<p>I went back to my UC application and I can see on my most recent TAU
“Summer 2011 | None Reported | Not Enrolled”</p>

<p>Ohmygodd, I’m totally getting rescinded aren’t I. :’((</p>

<p>THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING TO ME OHMYGODD I ALREADY NEGLECTED FINISHING SDSU’S SIR, MY BACKUP SCHOOL… OHMYGODD I WANT TO KILL MYSELF!!!</p>

<p>What do I do?!?!</p>

<p>More importantly… HELP!!!</p>

<p>Answer me here please…
