Factless Rumors

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>There was a post created here a few weeks ago that UCLA is not going to be accepting new students for the Fall 2010 quarter due to budget cuts. Since then, I've also been hearing this from different sources. People have been asking me whether or not it is true that UCLA will not be accepting new students for the Fall 2010 quarter. </p>

<p>I haven't been able to find any information on the internet (or on UCLA's official website) about this, so I finally called UCLA and asked the Office of Admissions if they will be accepting freshman and transfer students in the Fall of 2010. The representative said "Yes" (in a rather awkward manner) and that was that.</p>

<p>I wonder how these rumors got started? It is my understanding that getting into UCLA (or any other state university, for that matter) may become a little more competitive, but I don't think it makes sense that UCLA would be canceling admission for new students in the fall of 2010. If they were doing such a thing, I feel like we would have been notified by now.</p>

<p>Has anybody else heard these baseless rumors?</p>

<p>Okay. Maybe more. I’m trying not to be such a ****** these days.</p>

<p>LOL!</p>

<p>Well, I just got irritated from hearing it more than once. These are truly how baseless rumors get started.</p>

<p>As long as it is not true…</p>

<p>You actually called? Lol. No offence but there is no way a public university would stop accepting public applicants for FALL. You do know its a source of revenue for the college too right? Also, there would be a riot in the streets if Arnold cut so much from education funding that people couldnt actually get an education. Cutting education is a last resort, and even though times are bad…they’re not bad enough to cut THAT much, prolly never will be.</p>

<p>This needed its own thread? One clueless guy misread that UCLA is no longer accepting Spring applicants and then created a thread telling us that UCLA is no longer accepting Fall applicants. He was corrected and that was that… no need to create a post to reflect on the stupidity of some posters.</p>

<p>They are constantly cutting down on education…</p>

<p>vintij, you do know that cutting education is definitely not the last resort of the state? In fact, because it is the predominant expense of the state (education is more than 40% of the budget by law), it is normally one of the first expenses to get cut when revenues go down.</p>
