<p>so when i applied for ucla, i put down as my 12th grade coursework:</p>
<li>ap english lit</li>
<li>ap statistics</li>
<li>honors physics</li>
<li>ap economics</li>
</ol>
<p>THE END. last semester i took all of the above plus tennis & lifeskills, both of which are one semester long & the last things i needed to finish all my credits. i didn’t put it down as part of my coursework since …they’re not a-g courses and i’m not taking them this semester.</p>
<p>my counselor found out today that i have 2 free periods (which, duh i should have since i finished all my credits + that’s how my other counselor scheduled me last semester, saying i didn’t need to fill it up with service or tutor etc). she flipped out & said no college would accept me for having 4 periods a day, and when i told her “uh… ucla did last night,” she said she was going to call the admissions office and get me rejected.</p>
<p>hahaha ugh. i seriously don’t know what to think.</p>
<p>she can’t get me rescinded for this, right? ):
i didn’t do anything wrong & there are no schedule changes, so w;tf?</p>
<p>:( sigh no clue what to do. she’s the devil, forreal.</p>
<p>yeah, exactly. we have 2 counselors who work in the same office, and the nice one said today “there’s nothing wrong with what you did, i don’t know why she’s being like that. i scheduled you like this last semester because it was okay and it still is.” … and then the ladydevil comes in screaming I AM CALLING YOUR PARENTS AND TELLING THEM YOU HAVE FOUR PERIODS YOU ARE NEVER GETTING INTO ANY COLLEGE AGAIN I DON’T KNOW ANY STUDENT WHO COMES TO SCHOOL WITH NO FIRST AND SIXTH PERIOD YOU ARE SO LAZY.</p>
<p>…w;tf? UGH i want to kill her. :(</p>
<p>the other counselor said it was just fine but the devil-lady is scary so other people can’t say sh;t to her. it’s ridiculous. she won’t listen to anyone.</p>
<p>ucla’s my dream school and i’m just stressed out over the fact that she might get me rescinded (?). alsjkdflakjsdf. please tell me this isn’t possible.</p>
<p>you are in no problem, there are no requirements for any college that specifically say that you need 6 periods to get in. On your transcript, it should say like: “Senior exempt” or something to prove that you do not need 6 periods anymore, PLUS if you have completed your a-g requirements then it really doesn’t matter. </p>
<p>JUST FORGET HER or run her down with your vehicle or something, if she bugs you anymore.</p>
<p>D took the same courses as OP except chem instead of physics-accpeted to UCLA last night. No more classes at our school for 5th period that she could take. Ap Spanish had schedule conflict, 6 th period is athletics, no 0 period. UCLA saw intended schedule and she was still accepted so don’t worry. If your schedule hasn’t changed from what you reported then they accepted with what you are taking.</p>
<p>oohooo, this happened to one of my friends brothers. Luckily he was ahead of the game, he got into Harvard… He told her he was in at upenn (he never applied)… I don’t know if she ended up calling, but it would have been shame on her if she did. </p>
<p>I agree with #3… What the **** is she smoking…</p>
<p>She’s on a power trip, as most High School officials are, she’s trying to play war so you have to play war back I guess.</p>
<p>First off call UCLA explain what’s going on.</p>
<p>Secondly, tell your parents that this person told you she’s going to get your acceptance at UCLA revoked. I don’t care if she didn’t say that, the most important thing is to get them down there and talk to her, it would help if they are mad. You have been, I assume, a responsible student, and why should you be bogged down with classes when you have kept yourself on track? Tell this person you use your free time for EC’s and stuff.</p>
<p>Thirdly, talk to your principal. This may be the only person she listens to. Make an appointment NOW, there is NO REASON for ANYONE to speak to you that way at your high school, I don’t care how much power she thinks she has. Even if this doesn’t end up affecting you, it’d be nice for you to get her attitude checked for the future generations, :)</p>
<p>I am not speaking about good counselors (though those are FEW and far in between) but most bad ones are just idiots trying to get a job. They are IDIOTS, and know nothing about college. Those are the bad ones… Of course someone will play the respect teachers card w.e. (I am probably one of the biggest supporters of respecting teachers more) but bad counselors are bloody idiots…</p>
<p>If I stay in my current school, though it is likely I will not, I will evade counselors help as MUCH as I possibly can…</p>
<p>principalviola - if only. IF ONLY. hahahaha. i wish i did. but yeah, i totally agree with you. last year she “accidentally” sent a student’s transcript past the due date and he went from acceptance to usc & nyu -> glendale community college since they refused to accept it late. she wouldn’t admit it was her fault and now she’s making everyone send out their own transcripts, hahaha. </p>
<p>thanks mister & equine, thank you for the good advice. i love you.</p>
<p>Bitterness and jealousy welling up… 4 periods and you got accepted. Why the crap did I bother with 5 APs in then? What a way to ruin my senior year.</p>
<p>But yeah, I agree with the rat poison. That counselor probably just had some crappy experiences with colleges herself. She’s just jealous :P</p>
<p>i cant wait to meet you all this fall.
really
all these ppl at CC seem friggin awesome.
i hope theres cute asian guys at UCLA, i really do. cuz i cant wait to get there!</p>
<p>and to ur stupid counselor: they cant do anything to you! as far as ur still taking the classes u said u wud take this year…eff them! really.
ur good. dont trip :]</p>
<p>There are people at my school who leave after 4th period. Some after 5th.
Because they’ve already taken so many classes, they could’ve graduated last semester…and I’m pretty sure colleges are accepting them.</p>
<p>Your counselor is a ________ (fill in the blank).</p>
i took a crapload fresh/soph year so… yeah! haha.</p>
& i know, right? there better be some cute guys! </p>
