<p>I will then fix the hole in your body when someone inevitably shoots you, pinker.</p>
<p>All potential lawyers enter law school thinking they’re going to change the mf’n world. You’re gonna go to law school, read a bunch of poorly written books, graduate, take the bar exam, enter the real world…then years later you’ll also have a big house with expensive cars. And you’ll have a big picture of yourself on the side of a city bus with a stern face, a thumbs-up, a catchy slogan, and a huuuuuuuuuge 1-800-number right next to you.</p>

<p>I don’t know about you, but this sounds pretty goddamn good to me.</p>
<p>@ missyujin</p>
<p>I didn’t twist your words. I just found a loophole within them. I’d be an excellent lawyer.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“Miss Yujin got me $2.1 million.”</p>
<p>There is no loophole in what I said. It wasn’t even an argument. I simply said I wanted to be a lawyer since I was ten years old…and somehow you deciphered it as my decision being a childish one. If you took any course in logic you would know that this…er, well, doesn’t even make sense.</p>
<p>I would LOVE to win a case for 2.1 million dollars! You flatter me, ballrstouching. :)</p>
<p>LMAO @ balls</p>
<p>It would just be perfect if everyone in the ad spoke broken english.</p>
<p>“omg mizzyujinn got me lyk 2.1 million dollarz lol im lyk sooooo happy”</p>
<p>Hmm. I guess that’s Internet slang, not exactly broken English. It’s nearly 2 am. I’m not thinking straight.</p>
<p>I posted in the other thread, but realized I posted in the wrong one.</p>
<p>pinker, </p>
<p>UCLAri answered this in one of his threads… </p>
<p>– I got in as a ____ major but have decided that I want to be a ____ major instead, can I? What do I do?</p>
<p>I see this one a lot. In short, you wait-- lots of waiting, get used to it. You wait until you’re settled into your matchbox in Hedrick and can spend a few hours meeting with the department admins that manage the major you really really want. For example:</p>
<p>Susie got in as a poli sci major, but her dream now is to be an English major. What to do? Simple, really-- Susie goes to the English department and declares her intent to be an English major. If she has the unit allowance necessary to complete the pre-reqs and reqs, the department admin says, “congratulations” and Susie enrolls herself in “Sonnets, and 17th Century Deconstructionalismazation” or something else. Susie then goes to the poli sci department and asks to be taken off the major. </p>
<p>You must make sure to check all residence requirements as stated in the catalog:</p>
<p>Quote:</p>
<p>The College and each school with undergraduate programs establish their own degree requirements. These generally include a (1) unit requirement, which defines the total number of units to be completed, (2) scholarship requirement, which defines a minimum grade-point average, (3) residence requirement, which defines the amount of study that must be undertaken in residence at the UCLA campus, and (4) course requirements, which may include general education courses, reading and composition courses, foreign language courses, and core courses for the field of study. See the College and Schools section of this catalog for details on requirements set by the College and by each of the schools.</p>
<p>– Caveats!!!-- If the desired major is impacted, it may be more complicated. You may need to complete the pre-reqs with a certain GPA and claw your way in. That does not, however, mean that you cannot get accepted into the major, but merely that it will be more difficult.</p>
<p>uc transfer,</p>
<p>what happened with you and UCLA / Berkeley?</p>
<p>jenn,</p>
<p>thanks! that’s encouraging.</p>
<p>Also, Yu Jin, I foresee you being disbarred for incompetence.</p>
<p>Archive this post, that way everyone will know I called it first.</p>
<p>Soon you’ll have a commercial on tv that airs between late night Jerry Springer reruns where you wear an alligator skin cowboy hat in front of a picture of a city telling everyone that if they took X prescription drug or were exposed to asbestos 30 years ago to contact you at 1-800-number. Then your commercial will end with a clip created by devry students of a gavel coming down telling everyone that they’re entitled to damages… all while you could be helping sick children.</p>
<p>hey… balls… what happens when you get sued for malpractice?</p>
<p>I’m not gonna become a doctor, F that. icky.</p>
<p>Anyway, you’re right, doctors need lawyers to fight off ambulance chasing lawyers. It’s a vicious cycle.</p>
<p>i think you should consider your motivations for changing your major in the first place. why the change from philosophy to communications? is it for career prospects?</p>
<p>LOL!!! You go, pinkerfloyd.</p>
<p>And UC_Transfer…I again have no idea what you’re talking about. Incompetence? Wha?</p>
<p>@pinker: I think you have me confused with UCTransfer. Totally understandable as that a-hole decided to sign up with the name much later than I did… I’m already at UCSD.</p>
<p>@missyujin: shut-uppa-you-face!</p>
<p>realist,</p>
<p>i’m not exactly set on it.
and while i won’t go into detail about why i’m unsure about pursuing philosophy, know that i’ve got my reasons. then again, i kind of got excited about it again after looking through last year’s course catalogues… there are definitely some really interesting classes be offered…
really, i’m just looking at other options… even if they’re not quite so realistic. comm studies seems to be one of the only other majors that’s prereqs i’ve just happened to already have completed. like i said, i’m only missing the one speech / anthro class for comm. that’s all. i’m not sure what else i’d do.
i know that i’ll do well on the LSAT, having messed around with a lot of problems both in and out of class, so that doesn’t really worry me too much…
i don’t know… while i love how academic philosophy trains the brain, i can’t say that i’m not worried about not being able to take any applicable ish away from my undergrad experience…
ya dig?</p>
<p>So you’re worried about your future? So is everyone else man.</p>
