<p>Do you not have any knowledge of capitalization, punctuation or spelling?</p>
<p>a lot not alot</p>
<p>Moving right along...</p>
<p>I'm not jesus christ.</p>
<p>And I don't care about the cc students in your bio class - I go to cc and my first choice is USC. You're generalizing ALL CC students. I don't appreciate you calling me uneducated when you're clearly an idiot.</p>
<p>Which school is "BETTER" will in the end be a subjective matter. But which school is easier to get into, the numbers will show that. No matter how small a difference. You can't disregard the differences just because they're small - that's like saying UCI is "only a little" easier to get into, thus UCI is just as hard to get into</p>
<p>Have you ever taken a statistics class grey?</p>
<p>Yes I have. When the discrepancy is greater than alpha (usually .05) it is significant. What's your point? That I'm uneducated?</p>
<p>What is the difference between 3.27 and 3.31, and is this difference statistically significant?</p>
<p>It's not statistically significant, but if you can please scroll over to post #62, you will see that I already addressed that.</p>
<p>Did you know that subjectivity can't be statistically assessed? So what's your next argument?</p>
<p>When a difference is statistically insignificant, the difference is attributed to random error or variation. You disregard the difference because it -literally- is completely and absolutely insignificant.</p>
<p>The alpha is usually benched against a certainty, not a strict percentage difference between two means. The fact that there are thousands of data points contributing to that mean difference makes the certainty pretty high. It's a significant difference.</p>
<p>Note: Lots of editting 'cause I'm drunk.</p>
<p>No.

<p>and i really hope you get into usc, because it would embarrass me as a uc student to have to see another pompous ucsd student thrown into the work force.</p>
<p>UCI admits more students with lower GPAs
UCSD admits less students with lower GPAs</p>
<p>Figure it out.</p>
<p>UCI admit rate: 53%
UCSD admit rate: 42%</p>
<p>He's pompous, but you have suggested that all cc students are uneducated?</p>
<p>That makes sense.</p>
<p>Yay! You're starting to spell and punctuate properly! Bravo!</p>
<p>when the majority of the people that are admitted to those schools have at most a gpa of +/- 0.5 of what you listed that difference between the two is a much more significant amount.</p>
<p>good luck to all of you. i hope you get into schools better than sd so you wont have to go there and be delusional like the rest of its student population.</p>
<p>Despite the small amount in variation in GPA, you'll find that a 3.3 cut off MEANS 3.3, not 3.28 or 3.29...</p>
<p>It's like saying:
"You're obviously very bright, but, you just weren't quite bright enough..." :D</p>
<p>Nobody cares. I will pray tonight that everyone in this thread gets into cal, sc and la so we can have less delusional sd people embarassing us UC students.</p>

<p>I'm already a UCSD student. Where is your God now?!?</p>
<p>Hey, strictly speaking, you're right about the subjectivity of school rankings. You wanna be business? Go to UCI. Comp Sci? UCSD. Etc. That's a good thing to take away from your posts. Undergraduate institution is much more weighty in the context of major.</p>
<p>Sadly all of your posts here have some sort of error. It’s sad to see that erring is inevitable for you even when you put your little heart’s might into being infallible. Luckily, your spelling, punctuation and grammar have improved.</p>
<p>I suggest you simply concede now and use silence as consent to your idiocy.
If you’d like to move on, I have summarized and generalized your major claims.</p>
<p>Claims:</p>
<p>1. UCI is not easier to get into than UCSD</p>
<p>False, as has been reiterated plenty of times, UCI admits 11% more students than UCSD.</p>
<p>2. Average UCSD enrolled transfer’s GPA is 3.31 vs. UCI’s average enrolled transfer GPA which is 3.27. Because there is not at MINIMUM a 5% difference, there exists no significance and thus UCI and UCSD are both equally competitive.</p>
<p>This is complete doublespeak. Why in the world would one select the enrolled transfer’s GPA when looking at a school’s selectivity? The necessary factor would be the GPA of students offered admissions in order to indicate the competitiveness of a school. The average admitted GPA for CCC transfer students applying throughout the year is 3.36 for UCI and 3.42 at UCSD.</p>
<p>3. You claim that there are many more programs of superior quality at UCI than at UCSD. This is evidenced by the fact that the ONLY major you mentioned being superior at UCSD is biology, whereas you mentioned at least seven majors that are better at UCI.</p>
<p>I will not go into detail as this claim has already been demonstrated to be false, but you mentioned that UCI is “light years” ahead of UCSD in social sciences, of which political science is a part. Unfortunately, UCI is nowhere near UCSD in political science, thus negating your entire claim</p>
<p>4. GPA at CC is unrelated to the ability to excel at any of the UCs.</p>
<p>This claim is absurd. Because of the finite nature of the claim, one must assume that GPA is completely and utterly unrelated to success at a UC. It must be assumed that both try equally hard, or else the playing field would not be level and thus this assertion could not be made. Therefore, someone with a 0.0 GPA vs. someone with a 4.00 GPA have the exact same and equal ability (or disability) to excel (or fail) at a UC which in and of itself is a preposterous claim.</p>
<p>5. Some (Or is it all? First you say “some” then you say “all” which in effect disproves at least one of the notions) CC students feel entitled to get in everywhere.</p>
<p>This is clearly false because of the abundance of “chance me” threads on this section of the forum. If CC students felt entitled to get in everywhere, they wouldn’t feel the need to have someone confirm their chances or help them to increase their chances of admittance at specific universities.</p>
<p>6. The only people in mainstream society that consider UCSD to be a better school are alumni, current students, or transfer students, NOBODY else believes this.</p>
<p>False. If we take into account US News Rankings we must assume that at least ONE individual part of the committee who works on the rankings is neither an alumnus, student or transfer student of UCSD; UCSD is ranked almost ten spots higher. Moreover, unexpectedly 100% of the random people surveyed on the Internet said UCSD was better. </p>
<p>Good day. Please be silent now.</p>
<p>Nobody cares.</p>
