<p>one person? GREAT GOAL!!
it might be difficult :)
j/k</p>
<p>they have an environmental engineering major which in most colleges is a subset of civil</p>
<p>what is the "low GPA" of your friend?</p>
<p>did anybody find anyone willing to go to UCM?
We r finding it funny now, but i am sure it will a top college in a few years. More than a few actually,but it will get there.</p>
<p>if not even 10% of acceptees attend, im wondering what the acceptance percentage will be next year.</p>
<p>anybody planning to go to the bobcat day at UCM? I am going hope to see u guys there.</p>
<p>where do u live freebird?
are you gonna go to UCM?</p>
<p>BTW
yesterday i went to a meeting with UCM representatives, and told us there is gonna be 50 transfer students only.
therefore, most of the upper division classes will have about 3 students per teacher... :D</p>
<p>i live about 45 mins. from ucm.
I will go for their bobcat day, but may not join UCM.</p>
<p>ooh i live 10 minutes from Merced :) i go to merced community college</p>
<p>I had a 3.43 and I got accepted to Merced...</p>
<p>3.43?? :D
I have a 3.1 and got in also</p>
<p>i heard they were hoping for 2000 students and only got 500 to accept admittance this year.</p>
<p>Aww man, that's so sad... I know a couple of ppl who are going... </p>
<p>UCM's faculty members seem so top-notched... especially in Engineering... all from major universities like MIT, CALtech, and such... I would've gone if I were an engineering major</p>
<p>i got into ucla, ucsd, ucd, uci, etc. (all the uc's) and usc and im goin to ucm...</p>
<p>starry, what made you decide on ucm?</p>
<p>WHAT? you are choosing UCM over UCB?
i have the same question as gsp<em>silicon</em>valley... i live 5 minutes from Merced, and I prefer to travel 6 hrs south to UCSB!</p>
<p>I basically narrowed down my choices to UCLA and UCM. I never liked the atmosphere of UCB because of the living conditions after the dorms. Now, I chose UCM for many reasons. My brother also recommended UCM to me and he went to UCB and is now in med school. First of all, I would be in the first class. As valedictorian of the high school class, I could be a top student at UCM, while i might be pushed down in a top tier school that UCLA is. I would be in the pioneering class and could begin the first clubs and organize the first student government. I could get internships easier because there would not be as many students competing. I would be able to get into the UCDC program easier. I will be doing an internship all 4 years at the congressman's office here. Plus, I live near UCM. I would be saving on expenditures. I can save that money to spend on law school, and i would like to go to NYU. Many of my friends are going there as well. Plus, UCM is very high-tech and the professors are great. There will be small class sizes.</p>
<p>my friend decided to go to ucm, but only cuz he got rejected from all the other ucs</p>
<p>UCM, is going to be cool, all the poeple who reject it just because its new might regret their decision later. I hope so, because I am joining UCM and have given up some top colleges to go there. I am sure it will be good.</p>
