<p>Well, I’m an English major, so no need to worry about labs and experiments… 
I actually heard that the English department isn’t so nasty at UCB.</p>
<p>Or so you’d think. I’m sure they could… critique your paper too harshly?</p>
<p>I got nothing.</p>
<p>I don’t think you should feel guilty, because I don’t feel what you did was morally wrong. BUT I most definitely don’t support the capitalist do-whatever-you-have-to to get to the top mentality. In your case, I disagree with the UCs’ policies to give major priority to certain students. I think that degrees should be available to the most hard-working and brightest of society, regardless of where they come from and what school they’re transferring from. This is also extremely hypocritical for me to say, since I could NEVER has gotten into Berkeley as anything but a CCC transfer student. If you were admitted, it means that you are smart and talented enough to attend. I think the moral issue lies with giving priority to some students but not others on the part of the UCs, not something like lying, which I was hoping everyone here would agree is relative to the circumstance, but based on previous reviews that’s obviously not the case.</p>

I disagree with you having more money than I do. I think I’ll just take it from you.</p>
<p>Do you see what I’m getting at here?</p>
<p>Why didn’t you just apply to the same schools for grad school?</p>
<p>I could see your friends in Korea or people on campus ratting you out. A hell of a fear to have weighing you down during the intense academic environment at Berkeley.</p>
<p>I’d rat on him if I ever learned his/her first name.</p>
<p>UC_Transfer: Actually, I DO think that money should go to the hardest working and deserving individuals . . . just like college admissions. Obviously there’s going to be some natural advantages and disadvantages from person to person, but I just don’t understand why already having a degree from another country is means to get declined if the applicant is smarter, has worked harder, and has more to offer the university than those who were declined. Yes, I understand that life is unfair. But shouldn’t a contrived system at least attempt to make is a little more just?</p>
<p>In an ideal world yes. Unfortunately we do not live in an ideal world. Them’s the breaks. Dude broke one of the few rules the UC has for applicants.</p>
<p>He deserves nothing more than our ire.</p>
<p>I think one of the previous posters said he should have applied for grad school. See? If you already have a B.A., give other people the chance to go at it.</p>
<p>Because he’s greedy. he wants all the degrees for himself. they will provide him with warmth at night.</p>
<p>survival of the fittest</p>
<p>but that sucks for your friends who were honest</p>
<p>oh lord. this is a funny thread. My mom has a korean bachelors, but she couldnt do much with it in competitive America. She (legally) went to go get an American bachelors in another field and then a masters. Maybe he is just doing a smarty pants thing and wants to get a job in America rather than in competitive Korea =? I do not condone his actions, just trying to see where he is coming from.</p>
<p>You’ll always be looking behind yourself…
Every time the phone rings…
Every time a professor asks to speak to you after class
Every time you get an email from UCSD…
Every letter you get from UCSD…
…you’ll wonder if this is when I get caught or turned in by someone I know who knows my lie…
karma will win</p>
<p>****. I can’t take it anymore. It’s been killing me.</p>
<p>I stole ****ing toys from my kindergarten class. I also stole several erasers in 1st grade.</p>
<p>If you have anything to admit just say it now. Better to let the guilt out.</p>
<p>i know who really shot kennedy!!!</p>
<p>“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! – here, here! – it is the beating of his hideous heart!”</p>
<p>“But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness, it had looked within itself and, by heavens I tell you, it had gone mad.”</p>
<p>the horror! the horror!</p>
<p>^ that a heart of darkness reference? ;)</p>
<p>I am an international student from Korea
and have been here in the U.S. for 3 years.
I applied UCB and UCLA for this comming fall term.
I was rejected due to my Korean university GPA
gained seven years ago. </p>
<p>Even though I am maintaining 4.0 GPA in C.C,
I can’t erase my immaturity.</p>
<p>I could lie like you “bigsmallfish” but I did not…
and I don’t regret that I did not lie.
I’ve seen many students like me…</p>
<p>I just want you to study hard at UC somewhere…
I am not mad at you… </p>
<p>그렇지만 한국사람 욕먹이진 마라.
좀 쪽팔린다.</p>
