<p>"However, if you are unable to do so, then you make take it at UCI during summer or during Welcome Week. If you take the test during Welcome Week, you should plan to enroll in your first writing course in winter quarter rather than fall quarter, since Writing 39A and 39B courses are usually filled by Welcome Week. This exam may not be repeated. "</p>
<p>I didn't end up taking the writing test, either. I told AP when taking the AP English test to send my scores to UCI. So, if I get a 3/4/5, and it is automatically sent to UCI, they will excuse me from whatever the writing test was testing students for, right? If I don't get a 3/4/5 (which is highly unlikely), I can just set up an appointment with them in the summer? Or do they tell us when it is?</p>
<p>um.. i also have a question on financial aid.. it says the dead to submit all supporting documents is may 1, what do they mean by supporting documents? are they the ones that we have to fill after we accepted our financial aid... and when are those forms do? theres like 5 forms we gota feel out.. are we suppose to send it or go to the office and turn it in?</p>
<p>yo i just received this e-mail from UCI about campus-village housing( apts). whats your say on that in comparison to the residence halls (i would most likely pick middle earth if it has to be a residence hall) ?</p>
<p>all the ap calc test takers..
i hope the curve is low to0.......or else.......lots of Calc at UCI!</p>
<p>Here's my very brief take on it. You can live in campus-village as a sophomore if you want. I would stay in dorms just for the freshman experience. If you want to know more, then ask me questions about it. I'm not going to sit here and write an essay about it.</p>
<p>My mistake. A 3 suffices. You get more if you have a 4 or 5. You may get out of WR39B if you take the AWPE, pass, and petition that AP test. I'm not sure but my counselor hinted it once, but I let it slide because I didn't pass my AP lit test. I actually wrote about aliens and didn't finish the other two prompts =].</p>
<p>I know that there are work-study opportunities but i heard that the financial aid people limit the amount of hours you can work. So would it be be better to have just "work, work" or is it better to opt for the work-study program. Also, what are some of the better jobs available to students?</p>
<p>Side note:
For those who took the AP calculus test and thought it was difficult, you guys probably got the Form A Free response like i did. Form B is <em>seems</em> way easier and is more like the old tests.</p>
<p>let me tell about the work study thing from a person whose father is an accountant and an income tax perspective. Any money that you make on campus from a campus job, is never taxed since you are getting federal money, so you don't have to pay income tax or anything else on it. the money that you make is the money you keep. Now if you work outside, you have to pay income tax, social security, and all the other things, as well as claim this as a income on your behalf with a W-2. Now if your parents are claiming you as a way to shift the income around so that you are in an overall tax bracket, working outside would then higher your tax bracket. Work that you did on campus with the work study would not do that necessarily, because there is no tax paid on that. You just have a separate form on your tax return which claims that you had a work study program while being a full time student, which doesn't affect your income at all. The other thing is that if you decide to live off campus afterwards, and want a cap on the utilities bill since you are a dependent off your parents, you can successfully apply for that, since you wont have any income to show, since the work study doesn't count in there.</p>
<p>However if you are looking to solely just make money, then i would look outside to find a job, because however great the jobs on campus are, im sure that there would have to be something better outside. The downside is that you may need a car to get to the place that you work, whereas a work study program is a job on campus.</p>
<p>Are there any basketball courts near Mesa Court? I know I saw one when I was checking out Middle Earth. Also, are there any indoor courts in the recreational center for the students to use?</p>
<p>i dont know if you might know this but i am scheduled to a placement test on june
1) is the testing center at uci?
2) they told us to bring a school i d and a drivers license BUT i dont have my school 12th grade id so should i bring my 11th grade id or a paper copy of my 12th id.</p>
<p>would freshmen have a lot of free choices in choosing courses or is it most of the classes are required? Is there any class or teacher you recommend?</p>
<p>There are basketballs near Mesa Court. They are more ghetto than Middle Earth's one decked out court though. There are like 4-6 indoor courts in the ARC. You can find pictures of it somewhere in this forum. They're pretty nice =].</p>
<p>buddy:</p>
<p>It depends where you signed up for it. I think there are programs where you can take certain placement tests at a UC near you, but those only come once. I'm very fuzzy on this so yea. If in doubt, it is at UCI. I believe you report to the ring road area near the flagpoles. Bring all forms of ID you can to make sure. Don't let your uncertainties hurt you.</p>
<p>you can choose the classes that you want, however it also depends on the time that you get to register for the class that you want, and how many people want the class that you want. Those place major factors. It is good to try and plan to take classes when other people don't during other quarters if they are available during those quarters as well, so that you have a better chance of getting the class.</p>
<p>We need more info if you want us to help. For example, we need to know your major. However, do not stop there. Feed us with your preferences and maybe we can give you some insight.</p>
