<p>I don't think political science is impacted at Irvine.</p>
<p>"Hmmm. My last name starts with a "T" as well. Maybe I got an acceptance letter today! Although, instead of a philosophy major I am a poli sci major."</p>
<p>I'm too lazy to check myself, but how impacted (or not-impacted is the political science major compared to philosophy?</p>
<p>Oops typo. I fixed it. Poli sci is considered an impacted major now so I doubt that I will get an acceptance letter this soon. I don't know the avg GPA of admits of poli sci majors to UCI but for UCLA it was 3.56 for Fall 2005.</p>
<p>"UCLA has business economics which is very comparable to USC's Marshall even though it's not a "business" major. Also, sarcasmgirl sound like me =) apathetic to almost everything hehe"</p>
<p>Haha, we could all be apathetic together! Which makes me wonder if there are people on the forums who have actually become friends (after or before transferring)!</p>
<p>"I don't think political science is impacted at Irvine."</p>
<p>Yea, you are right. Although, I am assuming that there are a few poli sci rejectees from UCLA who go there. I need to see some stats.</p>

<p>Well, I doubt they'll reject you. It's seems somewhat hard to get rejected from UCI unless you have a Science or Math related major. :)</p>
<p>Sarcasm-did you complete two years of a foreign language in college (or are you currently taking a fourth semester in one)?</p>
<p>A major for Philosophy sounds cool. Not nearly as many people take it (not a very lucrative degree) and it's not all that hard. Abstract but not hard like the sceinces.</p>

<p>I sure hope what you say is true. UCI is not a bad UC, it is just my second choice. I'd actually be more comfortable going to UCI than UCLA because I'm familiar with Irvine. I've lived in West L.A. for almost 2 years now and I still don't know my way around the area. LOL. L.A. is just too big and busy for my taste.</p>
<p>Matt-I respectfully disagree with you. If you really get into philosophy, it is very likely harder than any other discipline could imagine being. Think about the areas philosophy covers.</p>

<p>I took 3 years of Japanese in high school (I got a C and D in the last year) and I'm taking my second semester of Chinese right now. But on the applications, I just put down "2 years of high school foreign language". Hehe.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I would call it an easy major. Easy to get into, yes.</p>
<p>i'm attending uci right now as an economics major with a minor in accounting, and dreading econ because i want to be an accountant, but i hear that we are opening up business as a majorfor undergrads with 3 different tracks next year</p>

<p>The reason I mention that is philosophy at UCI (and other humanities majors) requires two years of a language other than English (IN COLLEGE).</p>

<p>Haha, I live 15-20 minutes away from Irvine and I still don't know my way around there. In fact, I have driving around south OC in general. Too hilly, dark and "outsider"-unfriendly (I'm central OC).</p>

<p>What highschool did you go to? I didn't know highschools offered Japanese.</p>

<p>Ehh, two years as in "four semesters" or two years in terms of high school equivalency?</p>
<p>I agree with Gabe, I'm a science major and some of the smartest people I know are philosophy majors. Philosophy is the study of pretty much everything, so your mind has to be pretty sharp to be good in philosophy.</p>
<p>Two years IN COLLEGE; high school is worthless.</p>

<p>Haha, really? In my perspective, Irvine is made up mostly of residential housing. The main areas are probably UCI, Irvine Spectrum, and areas around Culver St.</p>
<p>I never knew a school that didn't offer Japanese (Northern California).</p>
<p>What highschool did you go to? I didn't know highschools offered Japanese.</p>
<p>Fountain Valley High School. I think the only other HBUHSD HS that offered Japanese was Marina.</p>
<p>Various high schools (especially in Washington and Texas or something) are offering Chinese now too--starting at the elementary level, might I add!</p>
