<p>@emilsinclair9 - is she really in??!?? FOSHO, cuz i have a 3.9 haha. </p>
<p>@butterflyaway - are you going to mtsac? mtsac’s AGS? lol</p>
<p>bahhh dainese you’re my competition lol
uhm no im at pierce.
funny thing, my orig. plan was to be a linguistics and psychology major cuz its “easier” to get in with, but now im declaring psychology and using linguistics and psychology as my alternate major if i get rejected for psych.</p>
<p>@ Dainese: yeah, I would say she is. I mean TAP is practically gold, and with a 3.8, she’ll be fine. </p>
<p>I sure wish my school had TAP…(stares up wishfully at the clouds). :)</p>
<p>@butterflyaway - dont worry haha, im going to USC. but if they reject me then UCLA here i come!
but in no way does that mean UCLA is a 2nd choice school or vice verse. </p>
<p>And if i do apply to UCLA, ill be doing the same as you with having linguistics/psych as my 2nd choice. :D</p>
<p>good luck to you 
i hope you get in! *fingers crossed</p>
<p>no offense to the UCLA peeps. I love both schools equally. I respect both trojans and bruins. The whole school rivalry is all in good fun, but some people take it too far.
why not rep for socal haha. 2 of the best schools are in the same city!</p>
<p>As a Psych major possibly attending UCLA this thread was really helpful!</p>
<p>first of all, thanks for the help. my question: is there really no way around double majoring in two different colleges?</p>
<p>If I get a D this semester will the credits still go towards my 60 UC-transferable units??</p>
<p>Yes, if it is a UC-transferable course. There’s a big chance you will get rescinded as well.</p>
<p>go psych! go psych!</p>
<p>yay for psych majors! anyone taking psych100a during the summer?</p>
<p>What does a typical junior year psych courseload look like (fall, winter and spring quarter). Have you tried applying for the honors program, and if so, how competitive is it? </p>
<p>In addition, I’m still trying to figure out what I want my focus to be - more counseling focus, or do I want a more science-y focus (Science/math classes aren’t my best subjects, but Neuropsych is SO INTERESTING). Do they have good counseling/advising programs to help you figure that out?</p>
<p>bump 10chars</p>
<p>Simon, if i already took Psych Stats and Research Methods at my current UC, would i have to take them again at UCLA? i was accepted there for the class of 2012</p>

<p>Essays: Doing them right now, will state the above ec’s and how it changed my life, how it relates to the major that I am studying for.</p>
<p>When you wrote your personal statement, what work experience did you have in the field? I’ve had a tutoring job while working at A&F, but I don’t see how that relates to a personal statement on my psychology major… 
My cc also does not have a psych club, so I don’t know what I could do</p>
