<p>Just thought this would be a fun page for those of us who are from the best state on earth to bond. jk, but really, it might help with more specific questions about UCs, Cal States, certain private schools, or applying OOS in general. So if you want to join the club, just sign on. And if I catch anyone using "hella" on here, there are gonna be some issues....</p>
<p>I am from California too, and I think that this is a fantastic idea, because I just can't really relate to those who are applying to Ivy Leagues etc. </p>
<p>I have to say though that I do say hella on a regular basis. . haha</p>
<p>I've only heard NorCal people say "hella."</p>
<p>I'm from SoCal.</p>
<p>I'm applying to the ivy leagues, a few schools in NY, USC, Stanford, UCs, and CSUs. In total, I'll be applying to around 8-12 schools max.</p>
<p>this thread is HELLA MINT</p>
<p>jk</p>
<p>I am from SoCal</p>
<p>yaaaaaaaaaa NOR CAL! =)</p>
<p>There are a few people in SoCal that say "hella." Only 1 person from my school says it.</p>
<p>About the UCs, they changed their personal statement questions for Fall
2008.</p>
<p>Hopefully, I can pull off great essays.</p>
<p>lol at Boys' State this year, my city had a biiig deal on the word "hella" -- NorCal vs. SoCal and whatnot.</p>
<p>SoCal - SD</p>
<p>NorCal going to SoCal</p>
<p>Los Angeles...</p>
<p>Luck you...all you Californians are so lucky because of Berkeley and LA... :(</p>
<p>Yay Berkeley. There are just SO many people though!</p>
<p>All the Seattle people say hella.</p>
<p>So it's probably Norcal upp.</p>
<p>yes, nor-cal is 'hella', which is why I refuse to take any part in that preposterous idea....anyway, nhsharvard: how did the questions change???</p>
<p>themoonisdown: where in san diego are you from?</p>
<p>San Diego!</p>
<p>SoCal here. Pretty close to UCLA - 30 minutes (without traffic - like that ever happens...)</p>
<p>I'm applying to a few UCs, a few LACs, Stanford, Brown, Yale, Tufts, and a few others. Too many right now.</p>
<p>:) Anyone else rejoicing over the Bonds issue w/ the Dodgers? Haha.</p>
<p>This is the first time I've heard the word "hella." O_O</p>
<p>VC08, I live in Rancho Santa Fe. Before I lived in Encinitas and Carlsbad. How about you?</p>
<p>CCHS: Do you go to Cathedral?</p>
<p>themoonisdown, yeah I go to Cathedral! </p>
<p>I live in Scripps.</p>
<p>hella definitely is norcal only. norcal is by far the best, weve got it all. </p>
<p>but how did they change those uc apps????????</p>
<p>CCHS: Hahahaha, wow. We're pretty much neighbors. I live in the Del Mar Country Club. I went to Cathedral freshman and sophomore year, but now I'm transfering to Bishop's as a junior. What grade are you going into and who are your teachers next year?</p>
