<p>Did anybody else receive a call?</p>
<p>It was from a girl who transferred there as a psych major to congratulate me! I'm hoping this is a good sign about my change of major ;), but who knows! lol. She was extremely nice and answered every one of my 100 questions.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, she knew nothing about spring admits lol. It's all good though. This has continued to sway me to the north....</p>
<p>omg congrats Nicky!!! 
how awesome! i want a call! hahahaha</p>
<p>lol I’m sure you’ll get one! She was seriously promoting UCB over UCLA’s psych for me. She straight up asked me which one I was considering more. I told her Berkeley, but that I love UCLA’s psych program. Oh, also, her main advice me to throughout the call though was:</p>
<p>Live off campus. She said that the dorms are crowded and the food was not so great lol.</p>
<p>oh no .</p>
<p>^ oh no is right lover boy.</p>
<p>yeah UCLAs psych dept is awesome…tough choice Nicky.</p>
<p>so do you think the wada apartments for transfers are just as crowded?</p>
<p>I got a call yesterday from a guy who transferred there. I couldn’t think of any questions besides “Are you happy there?” and “So, how stressful does it get?” What did you ask?</p>
<p>I just got the call right now from a female student.</p>
<p>I asked a ton of questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Can I join a fraternity as a spring admit?</li>
<li>Is there a program for spring admits like there is for freshman?</li>
<li>Should I be ok to switch into psych?</li>
<li>What is your major (psych)/plans for after graduation.</li>
<li>How does she like it?</li>
<li>How is the environment?</li>
<li>Does she feel adequately prepared for a career?</li>
<li>Research opportunities and involvement</li>
</ul>
<p>haha pretty much everything. Like I said, though, she knew nothing about spring admission :(.</p>
<p>Got the call a few minutes ago. She talked about a few events they’re hosting for transfers in the coming weeks, including a ‘transfer weekend.’ </p>
<p>Hey emil, I had completely forgot to ask the lady who called me about their psych program - what did she say to you about it? Like you, I’m pretty much split between UCLA and Cal for psych.</p>
<p>ROFL.</p>
<p>I just got off the phone with her, except it was my cousin. That’s so awkward, xDD! At least they’re getting paid for this!</p>
<p>@ drwatson: Yeah, she told me about the transfer admit event on the 15th as well. I can’t attend though :(. I have a final that morning along with prom later that night haha.</p>
<p>Also, in regard to the psych major, she told me that most of the professors are fantastic. She was real and mentioned that some are boring, but that there is plenty of opportunity for research if you’re looking for it. She highly recommended:</p>
<p>Alison Harvey’s Psychology of Sleep class. She told me that she took pretty much whatever sounded interesting to her. Overall, she said that she enjoyed her experience!</p>
<p>LOL I wonder if we got the same girl Dretson since I just got the call a few minutes ago. She asked me if I was interested in their transfer weekend I told her no since I live in SF and know Berkeley already as well.</p>
<p>@ Yunie:…did your cousin just call me? haha. Awesome if so.</p>
<p>haha crap. Do they call your house phone or cell phone? My house phone totally rang an hour ago but I wasn’t in the mood to answer it.</p>
<p>I have noooo idea Emil! I’ll ask her later when she gets off work, keke!</p>
<p>Edit: it wasn’t her. They’re assigned specific letters in the alphabet^^</p>
<p>@ Riley: She called my cell phone lol. You’re probably good.</p>
<p>@ Yunie: haha ok let me know! I’ll be PM-ing her tonight either way :p. I wrote to Richard Ivry, so for now it’s also a waiting game for me. :o I’m nervous lol.</p>
<p>what does becoming someone’s friend on college confidential entail? I didn’t even know you could do that? Are you required to have sex with the person you befriend?</p>
<p>aww you got your CC friend cherry popped.
how sweet.</p>
<p>@ Riley: Such a noob! Pssh I have like 4 CC friends! lol jk.</p>
