<p>I was just wondering if anyone else on this forum applied to Club Cal before? What were the pros and were there any cons?</p>
<p>Also, how long does it usually take them to respond to an application? I sent mine ~2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten a response via email.</p>
<p>I’m sending in mine tomorrow.</p>
<p>I am in club cal. It did take about 3 weeks for a reply. To be truthful there has been no emails or benefits to this program. I bet if I had questions they could answer them but I haven’t had any questions… So yeah I was excited to get in but then I haven’t really had any benefits from it…, so… That’s what’s up on club cal… In my opinion.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in Club Cal, too. Everything Rwasko said is true, but I anticipate hearing from Ana (the So Cal director) once the semester begins. Hopefully. haha.</p>
<p>Thanks guys for all the responses. I hope to hear from them soon. I hope I can find out about some benefits for it.</p>
<p>Evan I noticed you go to Mesa/City too. I was wondering if you have can recommend anyone at either of the two schools who is helpful. I noticed I knew more about the transfer process than both my counselors, and was hoping there was someone at the schools with useful information.</p>
<p>Posting too see the benefits of this as the semester starts. I am thinking about joining.</p>
<p>I also go to City and Mesa and I know quite a bit about the transfer process, I can give you a hand.</p>
<p>Hey UChopeful, Myself, along with BerkeleyorBust, seem to have a handle on it. NO ONE at Mesa or City staff knows as much as I do, sadly. I ask them questions for verification, and they have no idea, and I’ve even been mislead. Your best bet would be Tandy Ward at City College, he’s a counselor. Or, you could ask me :)</p>
<p>Also Edwin Hiel is the Honors Counselor at City. he is hard to get an appointment with, but he knows his stuff better than any other counselor I have worked with.</p>
<p>Are you in the Honors Program? With a high GPA like yours and being so motivated, being a certified honors student could open a lot of doors for you, like TAP.</p>
<p>No I’m not in honors. I did most of my classes while working 60 hours a week, so it was tough to try to fit honors classes in. Now that I’m going full-time I have a very rigid schedule if I want to transfer for Fall 2010.</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Will they send me an email whether or not I get accepted? I would like to know even if I get rejected so I don’t feel like my application got lost in the mail lol.</p>
<p>Been well over a month, guess I didn’t get in -_-</p>
<p>keep waiting! Now is probably a busy time for club cal applications. From what I get from it it is only one lady up there…she is probably really busy! Have you call them? </p>
<p>dont give up!</p>
<p>Ana Rafferty? She seems nice, I haven’t spoken to her but a couple times. Are we supposed to do anything once we’re in club cal? :/</p>
<p>I havent done anything with them…but as soon as I am done with my personal essays I am going to send them to her to see if she can read over them. </p>
<p>Also…I am going to go to my Scholars Program orentation for UCLA on Sept 19th. I am excited! I really would like to have a rough draft before then…so that someone there can look over my essay.</p>
<p>Rwasko, do you think you could provide me with the phone number for Club Cal?</p>
<p>Isn’t club cal exclusively for first generation college students and low income families?</p>
<p>^Yes, I qualify under both those fields which is why I am wondering if I will get it or not</p>
