<p>I was shocked -- i was admitted with a 3.24 philosophy major. I guess they loved my essay (and I was TAP).</p>

82

<p>Yes there are many things beyond the numbers.</p>

<p>And let's be realistic about GPA's...a 3.0 is a still B average..that is above average and pretty decent.</p>

<p>The items beyond the humbers are:</p>

<ul>
<li>Ethnicity</li>
<li>Filling a major</li>
<li>Essay's</li>
</ul>

<p>These are probably the major non-numerical contributing factors.</p>

83

<p>I don't understand.....why are TAP members with good GPA's (3.2+) shocked by their admissions decision....I always thought that was guaranteed, but I've noticed a number of student in TAP with a 3.4, 3.5 to have been stunned at the decision. lol</p>

<p>Why join TAP if it's not guaranteed?</p>

<p>Regardless, congratulations once more everyone! It was a lot of fun waiting it out with you all whose stats were very impressive. I've learned to thank the good Lord that I wasn't a Bus. Econ., Biochem, or CS major.....because I wouldn't have stood a chance with my flimsy 3.85.</p>

<p>bruinmichelle,</p>

<p>TAP is priority admission, not guaranteed.</p>

<p>but counselors say that having a 3.2+ and tap will help u get over the hump and get admitted.</p>

85

<p>Last year, what I heard from a rep from UCLA was 60% of the admitted students were in TAP.</p>

86

<p>danzzz, i heard the opposite, majority of the people are not in TAP.</p>

87

<p>HEY EVERYONE!!!!!</p>

<p>YOU CAN ADD ME TO THE LIST!!!!!</p>

<p>UCLA SAID YES TODAY!!!</p>

<p>Ok thats enough caps and !!!!.
Just for people looking at the stats (Like I've been doing for the past couple days)</p>

<p>Admitted Major: Bussiness Economics
Current School: Cal Poly Pomona
Current Major: Economics
GPA: 3.90
Units: About 110 quarter Units--All preparatory classes dones, as well as all pre-major requirements (bussiness economics only admits only to "Pre" major status) I am 16 units short of our Cal Poly GE requirements, but only 4 units short of the comparative IGTEC (sp?) CCC people do.</p>

88

<p>If you don't mind me asking, why do you want to leave Cal Poly? It's considered by most to be a pretty good school.</p>

89

<p>haha another NON CC student gets in. Love that priority UC claim to have.</p>

<p>Sorry</p>

<p>congrats man</p>

90

<p>wow, wow, wow...
UCLA starts doing some good work for our Busi Econ-major ppl.</p>

<p>Anyway, say congraz to you, buddy...</p>

91

<p>Thanks guys (or gals)!</p>

92

<p>Is that so? Maybe it's just my school......they tout that TAP is guaranteed and 100% of the graduates get into UCLA, which the numbers show is the case......</p>

<p>Good to know, I didn't do TAP, thank God. lol I didn't have the time....</p>

93

<p>i was so tempted to drive to UCLA today and yesterday juss to get a damn sweater but i held out cuz my friend said she would buy me one on friday. =D either way....on my URSA account when i look at my Finantial aid summary it says i have nothing. Is that because i need to update my Fafsa before they will release it? Also on my epal account it doesnt list my Cal grant, only my Pell grant and University grant. Any suggestions?</p>

94

<p>niwatori, I have the same problem I think all we do is contact the cal grant program and have them add ucla to your file.</p>

95

<p>see the thing is UCLA was on my file, infact it was on the first line. <em>confused</em></p>

96

<p>now you have me worried. I'm calling first thing tomorrow</p>

97

<p>anyone know when the first day of Orientation is? Classes for me end the 11th of june but i plan on leaving the country from july1-mid august. Anyone have any idea? or know what was the first day last year was?</p>

98

<p>@niwatori, first day of orientation is july 6th.</p>

99

major: Math-Econ</p>
