CURRENT BRUINS to take questions!

<p>i don't have a question right now, but good luck on finals "current bruins"!</p>

<p>and thanks for all the help =)</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer! I've been searching for the GE requirements online and can't seem to find them. Any help in finding GE requirements?</p>

<p>you can find GE requirements on this page:
<a href="http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/GE/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/GE/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>if you want a double and you end up getting a triple anyways, you can always request a room change after you get your room assignment. make sure you do this asap after you get your assignment. this may work for some people and may not for others. </p>

<p>i got a triple in sproul as my initial assignment and then i requested a double and i got it!</p>

<p>Thank you for the link- very helpful! I was thinking that because sproul will be closed for remodeling next year, the situation with triples will be worse than ever. Any word around about this?</p>

<p>W...T...F...they're working on Sproul again?</p>

<p>aren't they always remodeling?</p>

<p>how hard is it to double major in computer science and electrical engineering? is there a lot of overlap between the required classes?</p>

<p>EDIT: nevermind, flopsy answered this Q in another thread</p>

<p>I have several questions that have been bothering me for the past few days ... ANY sort of answer will be appreciated :)</p>

<p>1) Is it true that even though I applied as <<undeclared -="" social="" sciences="">> it wouldn't be much of a problem to choose any major as long as its under L&S? (I'm currently stoked on Psych.)</undeclared></p>

<p>2) How is the psychology department? Is it hard to get into? Very competitive and difficult? </p>

<p>3) Which do you think would be the most beneficial major: polysci or econ? (I will try to go for Bus-Econ if i do, but i'm skeptical whether or not I can make the cut)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<li><p>As long as it's not impacted, you'll be dandy.</p></li>
<li><p>Psych is nationally in the top 10. Not hard to get into as far as I know, though. Psych can range from easy to hard. It's a very large major with many different options.</p></li>
<li><p>Beneficial depends on what you want to do. Poli sci is a great major if you are interested in working in policy. Pysch might be less useful there, but more useful for doing work in say advertising. Don't look at it that way. Look at it as, "What do I want to study?"</p></li>
</ol>

<p>i thought that it wouldn't be hard to transfer majors in the college of Letters and Sciences. does anyone else have any input, is it fairly easy for me to switch my major from something like biology to business economics? what would i need to do because i really want to get in</p>

<p>How many credits from APs do you need to get a sophomore standing as a freshman? Is that even possible?</p>

<p>Meet with a counselor and find out what prerequisites the major has, if any. All it took for me to declare my major was going in and saying, "I'm done with the pre-reqs. I want to be a poli sci major." And with a few keystrokes, I was a poli sci major.</p>

<p>Some switches, however, may necessitate prereqs being done.</p>

<p>I see that a lot of you current bruins say that if we did not get into the honors program now, we will have other opportunities, as long as we maintain a 3.5 GPA. Is getting a 3.5 hard, I mean, I thought getting into the honors program was supposed to be hard? Once in the honors program, is that difficult?</p>

<p>The hard part isn't getting in, it's actually keeping the high GPA and meeting the requirements.</p>

<p>same question, is the honors college more difficult?</p>

<p>There is no such thing as an "honors college" at UCLA. There is an honors program, where students take extra courses and do some neat extra projects in order to have a unique honor bestowed upon them at graduation. i.e. extra gold foil on their diploma and another "honors" notation on their transcript.</p>

<p>The Honors program is slightly hard. It's not that much more rigorous or more work. I think about a quarter of all students maintain a 3.5 or better.</p>

<p>It doesn't really matter either way. You still need a 3.5 and the completion of all requirements to get the actual recognition even if you got in prior to enrollment.</p>

<p>ucapplicant,</p>

<p>Around 25% of people do graduate with around a 3.5 or so, but that's still pretty tough. I knew plenty of students at UCLA with less than 3.5 GPAs. The only good reason to worry about getting into Honors early is priority enrollment.</p>

<p>Otherwise, don't worry.</p>

<p>Well what I meant is that the Honors program doesn't require too much from the student. Much of the requirements can be satisfied through courses that fulfill other GEs and such. The project is optional; there's another route where you just need more units, I believe.</p>

<p>Relatively, departmental honors and Latin Honors are more difficult, at least that is my impression.</p>

<p>Oh.. and the priority enrollment stuff doesn't always work out. I'm in honors, but I know some that aren't (and that's the only difference) but still get their pass before me. Unless being undeclared makes a difference... Anyway, you get priority for taking a GE Cluster, so... it doesn't really matter when you join during the 1st year.</p>
