<p>Sadly...no. Fall is it. You might want to consider taking that period off to work, though! You can save up some discretionary dough for the school year. That way, while everyone is lamenting over how they can't afford gas, you'll be able to laugh and say that you can ALMOST afford gas!

<p>haha, but your joke is unrealistic because ucla/ucb aren't really commuter schools. </p>

<p>I would love to have extra money to fall back on during the school semester.</p>
<p>But if i earn more money, won't financial Aid give me less? I live with my mom and she doesn't earn much at all. For example, i don't have a job, so financial aid gave me 4,000 bucks for my CC classes.</p>
<p>There's a certain threshold...</p>
<p>Hmm...on second thought, just take more classes. Less complicated. Less IRS involvement.</p>
<p>I guess i can hit up to 75-80 semester units. According to Berkeley, they won't accept you with more, i think.</p>
<p>If you are coming from a cc there is no maximum number of credits that will disqualify you for admission. You just won't receive credit toward graduation from the classes that are over the amount.</p>

BTW, dhl, the ACTUAL numbers are more like this:</p>
<p>Cal: 3518/10550 33.3%
UCLA: 4845/11432 41.68

<p>I dunno, but i got my source directly from each school's website. I later checked cal's site, and i realized i made a mistake in posting 2005's stat instead of 2006, but i was off by less than 100 i think, not 500. And I'm sure I got UCLA's stat right (based on 2006 figure).</p>
<p>where did you get your source?</p>
<p>[url=<a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm%5DUCLA%5B/url">http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm]UCLA[/url</a>]
and
[url=<a href="http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Transfer_07.pdf%5DCal%5B/url">http://students.berkeley.edu/files/Admissions/Transfer_07.pdf]Cal[/url</a>]</p>
<p>I think Cal is harder since I've heard quite some students were admitted to UCLA but rejected from Cal, rarely heard the other way around.
Whether Cal is better than UCLA or not or how much better, I guess that will leave people to argue.</p>
<p>Who cares? They are the two best UCs and you will get a great education at either one.</p>
<p>BECUZ WE CARE BOUT SMALL THINZ!!! RARZZ!!!</p>
<p>I dunno. The whole, "go where you want" thing never took off 'round these here parts.</p>
<p>hah yeah, I feel ya UCLAri but my comment was more directed to Dhl3 than you (haha, I don't go at CC legends who I have mad respect for)</p>
<p>Umm UCLAri, I checked "your" sources (which apparently turns out to be the same source i used for my data), and I still can't seem to figure how you got 4845/11432 for the UCLA... as far as i'm considered, I clearly see 5,534/13,277 for the admits for transfers.</p>
<p>please correct me if i missed something.</p>
<p>as for CardinalFocused's comment, I'm just answering the OP's question.</p>
<p>ah now i see that you've used the in-state applicants only.
I think it is safe to say that we are both technically correct.
but really, i think you might agree with me that the admit rate for UCLA is lot looser than than Cal's.</p>
<p>That's all.</p>
<p>Not really. It's not the percent that matters, per se, but the GPAs.</p>
<p>o.O</p>
<p>percentage DOES matter.
smaller percentage = less space available for the admits = harder to get in.</p>
<p>Not necessarily.</p>
<p>There are a lot of factors that go into getting into a school. Would you say that it's harder to get into UCLA or University of Chicago?</p>
<p>why are you bringing up UChicago?
This is supposed to be about Berkeley and UCLA.</p>
<p>Just because UChicago is also a UC doesnt make it the same UC we are talking about.</p>
<p>You're missing the point. Answer my question.</p>
<p>Is it harder to get into Chicago or UCLA?</p>
