International student: Business Econ and Econ question

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>A friend of mine had a question. He is a straight A student, ASB vice president, ICC President, PTK member, a international student, and speaks 4 languages at my community college. He is worried about his admission.</p>

<p>He applied for business econ at UCLA. He has all the prereqs courses but is missing the two accounting courses that he needs. What are his chances?</p>

<p>At CAL he applied for PIES major but wants to go into the econ major. How do they calculate the GPA for the first semester? How hard is it to get into the program?</p>

<p>Since admissions is so full, how are the chances for the international students? Is it better or worse to be an international student?</p>

<p>Thanks guys.</p>

<p>From my understanding it's worse to be an international student, since I'd assume they take Cali residents first.Also missing pre-reqs for UCLA Bizecon is going to hurt them since its an impacted major.</p>

<p>So I say his chances aren't great.</p>

3

<p>I have a feeling he is going to get in anyway. He just wanted to see if anyone heard of anybody in this situation or if there are any statistics on this.</p>

4

<p>Those accounting courses are REQUIRED for admission to UCLA's BizEcon. He won't be accepted.</p>

<p>Suck it! He got in anyway!</p>

<p>Hahaha that was kind of harsh.</p>

7

<p>that means he is too good to be rejected......four languages...impossible</p>

<p>wow, he got in? Good for him. My friend got rejected cause she was missing the accounting classes although she had tons of EC's. I went to the STOMP conference and they told us that missing more than one pre req usually indicates rejection. Guess the four languages set him apart.</p>

9

<p>why not, I know 4 languages, 2 as mother language (Cantonese and Vietnamese), fluent in Mandarin (know how to read and write at an advance level). and English :D</p>

10

<p>To most Americans knowing four languages fluently is still very impressive. So it makes you stand out during the application process. And with fluently I mean more than just being able to order in a restaurant. In my opinion it's just another talent liking playing an instrument or a sport. And I'm speaking from experience, cause I know 4 languages myself.</p>

<p>"For admission to Fall Quarter 2008 both accounting courses will be required."</p>

<p>Hmm thats odd. I'll just drop all my remaining classes now, because honestly, what does the word required mean anyways?</p>

18

<p>that's why people usually say, being yourself haha. Regardless what other required from you, just ignore them and you will be fine.
I think that guy really "made a different"</p>

<p>kevin: Provisions and summer school ring a bell?</p>

<p>1) s_dragon: What did you just type? I'll take a coherent sentence to-go, please.</p>

<p>2) Lack: "To be considered for this major, all of the preparatory courses listed here must be completed by the spring before transfer."</p>

<p>It really doesn't get any clearer than that. But I guess you guys have dyslexia.</p>
