<p>Hi everyone, i am an EAP student from Auckland, New Zealand. I am at UCLA for a whole academic year.</p>
<p>I love it here so much, that i want to stay longer. </p>
<p>I have lots of friends, a girlfriend and lots of opportunities here.</p>
<p>I have tried to talk to my econ counselor and the admissions office and they tell me that i have missed the deadline for transferring fall 2009. </p>
<p>This means that i am treated just as any other transfer even though im already studying here. </p>
<p>Is there anyway round this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can stay here?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>James</p>
