i heard that...

<p>mathematics is one of the easier majors to get into at LA</p>

<p>true or false?</p>

<p>false</p>

<p>i miss luca</p>

<p>to get into or to complete? </p>

<p>to geti nto it sholdnt be a problem cuz it's in college of letters and scienceds</p>

<p>False. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>to get into</p>

<p>for example, my friend got in who's not even top ten in his class and sat scores just under 2000</p>

<p>but i guess i stand corrected, and he's just a fluke</p>

<p>there are plenty of stupid people at ucla. i am one of them</p>

<p>by stupid i assumed you mean subpar sat scores and gpa?</p>

<p>obviously, when there's an average, some will get in with above scores and some will get in with below scores...so it's not just that he got lower than average scores and got in</p>

<p>i just heard from multiple people that getting into LA with a mathematics major is easier then getting in with most other majors...and his getting in confirmed that for me</p>

<p>but, it could have been luck of the draw i guess</p>

<p>by stupid i mean STUPID.</p>

<p>for example, in chem 20L there was a kinetics lab studying the reaction of red food dye with bleach. so you have to design 6 trials, 3 holding concentration of bleach constant, 3 holding concentration of dye constant.</p>

<p>my lab partner asks, why can't we have a trial of 5 ml dye and 1 ml water?</p>

<p>btw, to me gpa means nothing. grades are subjective, it depends on your hs, your classes, your teachers</p>

<p>cr_book, </p>

<p>trust us, it's false. mathematics is in the College of Letters and Sciences which means, major is not considered during the admissions process b/c major doesn't actually matter since most students switch their majors at least once throughout their college careers.</p>

<p>"to geti nto it sholdnt be a problem cuz it's in college of letters and scienceds"</p>

<p>..</p>

<p>It's pretty hard to get into the college of letters and sciences. Actually, very hard.</p>

<p>She means it isn't a problem because your choice of major doesn't matter for the CofL&S, not implying that getting into the CofL&S in general is easy.</p>

<p>ok, well thanks for the answers</p>

<p>i hope i can get into under applied math with below average stats, lol</p>

<p>Again, a major within the CofL&S doesn't matter for freshman admissions. Good luck though!</p>

<p>moldau i dont get the thing about the lab, i guess im stupid. Ahhh.</p>

<p>i think she was just ranting. :D</p>

<p>greenday - if you dont add bleach you have no reaction and therefore nothing to observe.</p>

<p>ekn111, i understand that now, and that's why i said i hope i can get in with below average stats...because now i know it's just as difficult as any other major at l&s</p>
