<p>I'm thinking of UCLA these days, but im an int'l residing in the US.</p>
<p>So..
How hard is admissions to UCLA as an int'l? I've posted the same question in several other college threads. Anyway, I've heard it's really competitive (?) If so, how much harder is it?</p>
<p>bumpppp???</p>
<p>I'm guessing even more competitive than OOS ..</p>
<p>holy crap........</p>
<p>i honestly dont know though. my roommate is from canada (and she's not exactly the brightest)</p>
<p>A good deal of people from UCLA are not the brightest of the bunch.
As my Economics teacher said, "Sure, you got into UCLA. But seriously, you are not all A-quality." It's the sad truth.</p>
<p>its a good thing that there are dumber people than us. i'm always glad when people are like asking the dumbest things and not getting it</p>
<p>
If you've taken the prerequisites at a California community college, you have the same chances of getting in as any other California resident. If you're thinking of transferring units from your country of origin or an out of state school, that's a different story. Talk to a counselor at whatever academic institution you are attending right now and ask UCLA admissions to get more specific information.</p>
<p>Re: dumb people at UCLA.</p>
<p>There are dumb people at UCLA. There are dumb people at Penn. There are dumb people at Harvard. There are dumb people at Princeton.</p>
<p>Some people are dumb. Some are dumb like a fox. Others are just plain stupid.</p>
<p>But don't think that this is limited to UCLA. You'll meet people with the craziest degrees that make you tilt your head and go, "HOW?!"</p>
<p>Haha. Seriously.</p>
<p>"I just don't get why you multiply 1/x times 1/x and it becomes 1/x^2."
That was from my Math31B class. And it was not a joke.</p>
<p>thanks for all the responses.</p>
<p>I'm a Calif. resident. I've asked my friends and they simply say I would have a harder time than others.</p>
<p>A TA told me that someone asked him "What is an even number?" on the first day of Math 3A.</p>
<p>Once you become a California resident, you forfeit your international past. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Did you ever become a CA resident, flopsy?</p>
<p>"Once you become a California resident, you forfeit your international past"</p>
<p>Flopsy, really? I lived in California now for 1.5 years (Live > 1 yr = Cali resident). How could this not-make-me an international applicant anymore?</p>
<p>bummppp? .</p>

He was not serious about that comment.</p>
<p>It doesn't matter how long you have been living in California or the U.S., you are still considered an international student because you entered the U.S. with an F1 visa/passport. Unless you apply for a green card, you will always be a foreign student and can only stay in the U.S. until the F1 visa expires. The F1 visa only allows you to attend academic institutions in the U.S. The only place you can earn income is the academic institution you currently attend as long as you have part/full-time student status. If at any time, the school, any U.S. government institution or if anyone discovers and reports that you have been earning income outside of the academic institution, you will be immediately deported by the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) because you do not have the legal status to earn income in the U.S.</p>
<p>But as I said before, your chances of getting accepted into UCLA are the same as anyone else as long as you fulfill UCLA prerequisites/lower division courses for your major at whatever California community college you are currently attending. If your grades are competitive then your chances of getting accepted increases because the primary determinant for California community college transfers are based on GPA earned for the prerequisites.</p>
<p>actually its not that hard for UCLA...compare to UCB, UCLA is a lot easier to get in!</p>

<p>Really? Demonstrate the figures. Last I checked, UCLA wasn't "a lot easier to get into."</p>
<p>Depends what major, as a transfer I was actually more confident in getting into Berkeley Econ than UCLA Biz Econ</p>
