<p>For those who transferred to uc berkeley or ucla, your first semester at the university after cc, did you gpa take a small dive? I was wondering if ucla would be a lot harder depending on your major?</p>
<p>My GPA did not drop while at Cal, but I studied about three times more than at CCC (my first semester, at least, then I got used to the workload and rhythm). I do think it depends on the major.</p>
<p>Psychobiology major here at UCLA.</p>
<p>Nope, GPA is still a 4.00. Of course I had to step my game up a bit, but not a big deal. It does depend on the major.</p>
<p>@RheeL3: What do you think about the polisci majors at UCLA? Are they difficult or is it another instance of ‘you reap what you sow’?</p>
<p>@RheeL3 you’re awesome! i am so inspired!</p>

Thanks much! Good luck to you this upcoming term!!</p>
<p>To UCLAboundandown: All the UCLA PoliSci students I’ve met are super competitive, obviously. A bunch of them want to go onto law school which is why, but they are a super smart bunch! I haven’t taken any PoliSci course so I wouldn’t be able to give you the 411 about that, but hope that’s enough, lol! </p>
<p>I also have to add that I have things that keep me busy, which is why I don’t sleep a lot, it’s not all about my courses. Of course I do allot a bunch of time for homework and studying but I also have a job on campus which is 20 hours a week and I have a research assistance position in a Psychology lab which I just realized I go there for more than 15 hours a week ): AND I very recently got an internship in the Semel Institute/RR Hospital…so I’m definitely keeping busy! I hope this inspires you all, because it is possible! Just get some time management skills!</p>
