<p>UCLA isnt top 25 I dont believe, again read what I said, not just good state schools, top 25 state schools, Berkeley and if cal-tech is a state, are also</p>
<p>your great people skills and mastery of the English language will certainly get you into Harvard.</p>
<p>BTW, schools love it when the only reason you want to transfer to them is because of their newsweek ranking.</p>
<p>UCLA
UC Berkeley are the two public schools in Cali that are in the "Top 25"</p>
<p>Cal Tech is a private school</p>

<p>hostile-THIS IS ALOT BUT I HOPE YOU LEARN FROM IT!!!!!</p>
<p>(I also posted on the thread that was linked from here. )</p>
<p>I do not think you understand what a "feat" is. I had a terrible h.s record, all sorts of grades in core classes from 45s (45 was the grade they give to students like myself who did not like to be in class i.e. way too many absences) and one 99; I ended up graduating with something like a 74 average. I am now in a college where the average h.s g.p.a of attending freshmen is 3.7. I thought I would come here and be ultimately intimidated, however there are things that go far beyond waht can be formulated- like g.p.as and colleges with recognizable names. In this case I love the academics here (though, I think I am leaving to a less competitive college for personal "i miss home" reasons), there are challenging professors and unlike the college I originally transferred from I am actually thinking because they almost MAKE you. For me my feat is being the slacker in h.s to coming to college and realizing I actually like knowing things and applying said knowing. </p>
<p>That is my feat, coming from a very poor urban family (first generation college student) and coming into a school filled with serious students, and I feel like myself, not some idiot who does not belong (i THOUGHT i would, honestly).</p>
<p>The fact is names of schools become such because they CAN offer you a great education. I believe that you see a name as a tag you can where around for others to recognize. Is that so bad? Well, it only is if that is all you want. You must realize that you are really their to cultivate the mind you have, the one you will have wherever you go...and if you are going there for the name itself THEN you are probably not going to get the same from the education as student x who realizes this. Also, you say you hate general education requirements, but i think you are saying this because you have one track as to where you want to go (this is another reason i do not think you deserve an education at Brown). Most students do hate their general education requirements, but what you might realize is the more you hate them the less you will get out of them...the classes are there to teach you something, and why not indulge and enjoy if you HAVE to take the class???????</p>
<p>For me, names of schools used to matter. I wanted to go really high up the "rating" list. I think the thing you need to figure out is what you want and not what you want to brag about. You are doing it backwards. I formerlly wanted to go to a good undergraduate so i would look competitive for graduate admissions. i decided that in the end, if i really put in the work, i will be just as competitive as a student from a better known school. Then again, I am not so sure about that but that's not a matter important to this topic...</p>
<p>And WOW if you really got an 800 on your SATs. Did you start studying for sats or what, because i see those as tests that need studying no matter how smart the test-taker is. I winged my SAT Lit, so much that i was up all night the day before the test and whimsically decided to take it (640, not so good but i was proud enough).</p>
<p>"to much of a pansy to make it in this world anyway" i'm sure people would love to get distracted by the grammar of this statement, but seriously are you kidding where to you get your insults are baseless and your "make it in this world" REALLY makes me feel better about my argument since it seems you really only do care about the outcome of things, sorry darling, you need to work for things to get it and being a pansy does not really account for work or not, being superficial- well that DOES.</p>
<p>nice, darkling</p>
<p>you would have somewhat of a chance of getting in here (Notre Dame) with a 3.8-4.0, but you should definitely retake the SAT. Notre Dame considers your second semester college grades before making a decision, and if you show 2 straight semesters of 3.8+ you may have a chance..an even better one after 2 years.</p>
<p>Hello all.</p>
<p>I am currently at a CC in California. After this year, I should have around 35-40 semester units completed.</p>
<p>I've been looking at colleges to transfer to, and I've noticed that most of them have a minimum amount of units requirement.</p>
<p>For example, Pitzer College in Claremont requires 32 semester units, and the UC's/Cal States require 60 semester units.</p>
<p>I was wondering if I passed AP tests (I passed 3), will the units earned from those tests count IN ADDITION to the 35-40 units that I will have completed by the end of the year. (Let's say if each test I passed gave me 4 units for a total of 12 units; would I have 47-52 units instead of 35-40?)</p>
<p>I hope I'm making sense.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I plan on submitting my apps to schools after this fall semester. I will have a 3.7-3.8 GPA with 45 credit hours (15 a semester) at a low ranked florida school. I had terrible high school stats, 3.6 agp 24 ACT 970 SAT, will colleges reject me because of this? my major is finance and am looking at Emory, Lehigh, and U Florida. Do i have a chance at any of these places?</p>
<p>^^^^^
You are an imbecile if you think that a 3.6 is a bad gpa......</p>
<p>Stop fishing for complements, obviously you have a very good shot at all three of those schools.</p>
