Did you get a call from UCLA???

<p>i hear you, woman of troy. despite all of this negative stuff, i still like UCLA.</p>

<p>every school has its pitfalls. you just have to make the best of it.</p>

<p>also, you can't pass up a school that once had Bertrand Russell and now has David Kaplan for your department... no way.</p>

<p>the semester system makes me miserable. i can't stand being on one subject for so long. i'm sure i'll be singing a different tune when/if i enter the quarter system... haha, but oh well, i'm sure i'll adjust.</p>

<p>Hence the obvious username. lol. But I think I picked two good schools to apply to that suit my needs. I'll be ok at either.</p>

<p>p.s. I'm mortified of the quarter system. It'll be hardcore.</p>

<p>donguan78- so it seems like you are reapplying this year again? what is your first choice? why did you reapply to UCLA again?i thought you hate it so much..</p>

<p>finaincial aid is a mess???? how come? they are not generous?
and counselor sux? they got no experience?what is your major?</p>

<p>I know what you dislike about UCLA but what do you like about UCLA?</p>

<p>hmmmm... hopefully i get into Berkeley... thx for your info.!</p>

<p>I hope everyone in this forum can get in his/her ideal university.</p>

<p>Berkeley and UCLA, I want to go to both.</p>

<p>Decisions, decisions.</p>

<p>UCLA - If I get awarded both the CCTS and Regents, that would mean $7,500 per year for 2 years and plus $5,000 for need basis.</p>

<p>UCB - If I get Regents, that's $1,000 a year on no-need basis.</p>

<p>Still, I think I'd probably choose Cal over UCLA. What would you do?</p>

<p>yes Cal all the way!</p>

<p>Yea, even if I don't get Regents at UCB, and do get Regents at UCLA, I will be attending UCB; the only case I would attend UCLA is if I am rejected from UCB.</p>

<p>go bear....go Haas....</p>

<p>Did the person speaking on the phone say which department they were affiliated with, when speaking with you guys?</p>

<p>I think they are the members of the Alumini.</p>

<p>I think Hongda is right. I don't quite remember if a dept. was mentioned, but the girl did say she was a current student.</p>

<p>If she was a current student, do you think UCLA will give them such important information? Will UCLA tells them admitted students before they announce to the public?</p>

<p>A hot current student with access to admissions information? What was her phone number again?</p>

<p>Or maybe she said she used to be a student.. I don't know any more. That's why I posted yesterday, before I forgot. >_<</p>

<p>Here is an email reply I received in regards to the phone calls that were made and why some may not have received one:</p>

<p>"Thank you for your interest in the UCLA Alumni Scholarship program. </p>

<p>Last night, and again tonight, our current Alumni Scholars are reaching out to Community College Transfer applicants that have met the GPA requirement for our application; which you certainly have. We would love to call every single one of the applicants, but unfortunately are limited on our resources. Please do not take it as an indication that you should not apply for the scholarship just because we don't call you, it truly has no baring on your qualifications or possibilities. However, if you would like to speak with a current scholar please let me know and I can make sure that happens. I have included a direct link to our scholarship application and hope that you will apply."</p>

<p>I've been trying to call them and ask the same question, PinkTree. Now I can stop redialing every 5 minutes hoping they'll pick up.</p>
