<p>Am I the only one that is totally stressed out by this transfer stuff? I mean, we have to do all this extra stuff while we're still doing full time classes and, for most of us, working! Although it definitely seems worth it to see that acceptance package in the mail (: </p>
<p>How does everyone handle all this?</p>
<p>I haven't even applied yet and I am stressed.</p>
<p>It could get pretty hard... I just think of it as a cathartic experience.</p>
<p>I do drugs and oh...also porn...lot of porn</p>
<p>it was very stressful....extremely</p>
<p>Martin, cathartic like what medicine can do to you?</p>
<p>I'm more scared than stressed. I'm either Berkeley or SFSU (over Davis), so a Berkeley rejection terrifies me. Then I'm also scared about whether Berkeley's undergrad experience is gonna be as bad as people say. I've had crappy HS and community college experiences.... so I'm really hoping for something better. Probably not :)</p>
<p>Friend, I completely sympathize. :)</p>
<p>yo im hella with sweetny on this one i got a B in econ last quarter and a c in calc so i am tripping out of my MIND</p>
<p>1:30pm (the time mr. postalguy shows up). The time of reckoning. Oh, how I dread it. My hands tremble when I feel what is inside the mailbox, only to feel bills and other useless **** such as "Have you seen us?" and coupons for Albertsons. My mind is constantly consumed with thoughts of which school I will go to if I get into both that I applied to. I just want this game to be over!</p>
<p>Wow, that was like writing a story. I have never written like that before.</p>
<p>oh damn, sorry to hear that zemook. What schools are you looking at?</p>
<p>haas. they're going to REJECT ME AND ALL MY WORK WILL BE FOR NAUGHT thats why im going to die.</p>
<p>Haha that's why you are stressed like me. We are applying to the same place. ;)</p>
<p>hey sweetny what are your stats? yeah i know im effed but its okay haas will reject me anyway :-(</p>
<p>My overall gpa is 3.9 hopefully that will go up but my UC gpa is 3.93. I will have all gen ed and pre reqs done in fall 2007 when I apply. I work full time in accounting so that is my ec along with AGS honor society. I am applying to UCB, NYU, and UCLA. I never took my SAT's.</p>
<p>Your stats?</p>
<p>SoccerZoo5: The idea of catharsis, which by the way precedes pharmaceutical drugs by millennia, refers to meaningful suffering that eventually might lead to purification. If you would like to read up on that stuff you can pick up something from Aristotle.</p>
<p>yeah ill have pretty much everything done by fall 2007 when i apply. my gpa dropped totally from that C, but by fall it will be 3.83 ;). my ec's are two research positions and an internship in college..and then i started my own consulting firm halfway through last quarter, so im working for that. i mean, im in ptk and stuff but thats not really so important to me lol; im applying to berk/nyu/penn(for econ)/ucla lol practically same schools. </p>
<p>those two grades im seriously losing sleep over..but i have a learning disability in math, and im working through it, so im going to write about that in my essays. hopefully that will carry some weight, but i can only wait and see to find out. yeah so im really really really stressed about it and im not sure what to do..i know they will significantly affect my chances, but i cant do much of anything so im gonna go talk to a transfer counselor at cal tommorow, see what they think i should do.</p>
<p>Zemookmook: "yo im hella with sweetny on this one i got a B in econ last quarter and a c in calc so i am tripping out of my MIND"</p>
<p>hah. Don't worry. I was in a similar situation with a B in econ and Calc and everybody here said if my ec consisted of something like starting a major non-profit that rebuilds villages in north africa I would be set ;)</p>
<p>Yes, hopefully I will see you around campus (preferably Haas or Stern). I was going to apply to Penn too but my husband doesn't want to move there.hehe</p>
<p>I am hoping to get my UC gpa up to 3.95 by fall. God help me I hope I don't develop an ulcer. LOL</p>
<p>I am sure you will be fine :)</p>
<p>Zemookmook, what kind of consulting do you do?</p>
<p>I am getting into rental properties right now. Just in case school doesnt work out as planned;)</p>
