<p>Just got in to Cal too. Holy sh/t its time to celebrate!</p>
<p>SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!!!</p>
<p>haha.</p>
<p>UCLA for me- it’s closer to my reserve unit, and Cal is closer to my CACOM… so it was an easy decision. Who wants to spend time around a bunch of O6+? Not this girl.</p>
<p>And I’m celebrating tonight with a Dodger game! Yeah!</p>
<p>I separated from the military in August. Since returning to school in Fall 08 I have a 3.74 GPA after completing about 43 units, and my overall is just above 3.5 because of classes I took prior to military service in 03-04. I’m a member of the Alpha Gamma Sigma honors society, did lots of volunteering in the military, and my essays were pretty damn good.</p>
<p>I’ve been rejected from UCI, UCLA, Cal, and UCSD. What the ****?</p>
<p>Was your major impacted BigJohn1? </p>
<p>Oh, maybe you need 60 units to transfer…do you only have a total of 43?</p>
<p>You must have somehow missed a minimum requirement.</p>
<p>Yeah, I was applying for business and econ. After this semester I’ll have close to 80 units completed and IGETC certification. I was missing a a couple prereqs, but nothing that couldn’t have been taken over summer. So I guess now I have to take two classes over the next two semesters and reapply again next year. What a waste of time.</p>
<p>Minimum requirements being major prereqs?</p>
<p>Bog John i’m sorry to hear that…</p>
<p>USMC here in at UCI (Lit Journ) and just found out in at UCSD (Comm) !!!</p>

3.67</p>
<p>Time to celebrate!!</p>
<p>Status: Accepted
Major: Business Admin (Haas)
GPA: ~3.7
School: Pasadena City College (PCC)
IGETC: Completed.
Pre-Reqs: Will be completed by end of this Spring. (Note: I got a C in Calc I! =0)
TAP: No TAP
Essays: About my experiences in Iraq/Marines.
ECs: Took 33 of the 93 units during full time active duty in the Marine Corps. The remaining were done through PCC. No Job or clubs. Just a few volunteer activities. I mainly used the GI Bill for income.
Other: First generation college student.
Did I receive the FA email?!: No</p>
<p>Comments: Asian, Korean. 5 years active duty in the Marine Corps. 2 deployments to Iraq. I honestly didn’t think I’d get in b/c UCLA (Bus. Econ) and UCI (Bus. Admin) rejected me. I’m so lucky to have gotten in since my GPA is not quite as high as you’d expect with Haas. Just gives people hope in the future with lower GPAs =]. Got rejected last year for Haas b/c of a missing prereq. I even got a C in the major prereq! Lucky me</p>
<p>Thanks JTA. Congrats to all you troops who were accepted. Keep working hard and do us all proud!</p>
