<p>I'm applying to the UC's and USC for Fall '10</p>

<p>UCB - Media Studies
GPA: 3.65
Pre-reqs: 3.5 (All pre-reqs completed by spring)</p>

<p>UCLA - Sociology
GPA: 3.65
Pre-reqs: 3.5 (All re-reqs completed by spring)</p>

<p>UCI - Film & Media Studies
GPA 3.65
Pre-Reqs: 3.5 (only half of pre-reqs completed by spring)</p>

<p>USC - Communication
GPA 3.65 (All GE's completed by spring)</p>

<p>EQ's: I've worked in the publishing industry for 5 years. I started as a coordinator, promoted to manager, and now director. I've volunteered in many high profile industry organizations and committees. In high school I was the senior class president and asst. drum major. I didn't go to school right after high school because of pressure from my family to work. I'm Mex-American and a first generation college student.</p>

<p>On a scale to 1-10 (10 being you’re in),</p>

<p>Berkeley: 6/7
LA: 9 if you’re in TAP, 7 if you’re not
UCI: 10 if you’re in TAG
USC: 4/5</p>

<p>Just guessing though (: Good luck!</p>

<p>I didn’t know you could apply to that many different majors. I thought the app was a single app for all UC’s. </p>

<p>Anyway, you have a lot of things going for you. Your GPA is good, your EC’s are good plus work experience, you can write about not going to school right away and being a first gen, your a minority…etc. You did a really smart thing picking all easy majors, or rather, not highly selective. Anyway, on a scale of 10 your in, 1 no chance. </p>

<p>UCB: 6.9
USC:7.2
UCLA:7.9 (without tap) 8.1 (with tap)
UCI: 10
UCSD:9.8
ALL other UC’S: 10</p>

<p>I’m not sure if you can apply with that many different majors for each school.</p>

<p>I met with my scholars counselor and she said I could apply with different majors, but only one personal statement. She recommended my personal statement focus on “the social sciences” rather than naming specific majors. I’m worried because I won’t finish TAP for UCLA so I’m applying without it. Also, I will not finish my college level math (Stats) until winter. I will be IGETC certified, and have completed all pre-reqs by spring.</p>

<p>hahahahaha</p>

<p>pinkerfloyd- What’s so funny? lol the decimal rating or UCI being a 10?</p>

7

<p>I think it’s a mix of both. Or it could be vintij (English major) uses your instead of you’re :smiley: </p>

<p>6.9 is pretty good though, but 7.2 is much better!</p>

<p>Granted it’s much easier to get into USC than UCLA from my experience.</p>

8

<p>I would say its funny cause that person seems to be talking out of their ass. .2 of a difference for TAP at Ucla? 9.8 for SD?? I would question if that poster has even be accepted anywhere. The only accurate way to gauge your chances is look at the profile of admitted transfers for your major on that particular UC’s website.</p>

<p>Thanks. It seems like I have a slim chance for my top schools, but at least I got a shot! We’ll see… =/</p>

<p>If you have seen other posts by vintij, you would know he notoriously talks out of his ass. Sometimes I wonder if he legitimately thinks he is helping anyone, or just ■■■■■■ on purpose.</p>

11

<p>Here is a quote directly from UCHOPEFUL2010 on a previous thread. </p>

<p>“I’m not a admissions officer though. That is just what I would think”</p>

<p>Obviously UCHOPEFUL knows that nobody should take or solicit advice based off mere messages on a board. Everything is subjective. Yet, why would he/she make the claim, or notion rather, that his/her opinion is better than someone else’s? </p>

<p>Now seeing as you are not in any UC (judging by your name) your opinion on all matters is no greater than mine. And even if it was, this is a message board. My opinion is just that; an opinion. I don’t claim to know more or less than anyone. </p>

<p>So next time you claim that someone “notoriously talks out of his ass,” perhaps you should go back and delete the dozens of posts that I can locate right now (I’ve read every one of YOU’RE posts) in which an ass would be a compliment to say they originated from.</p>

<p>Vintij. Just shut up. You’re arguing back with your arms cut off. Your reputation is tarnished and nobody on these forums likes you. It has become a consensus that whatever you say has no legitimacy.</p>

<p>I would tell you to leave these forums, but I guess a few close-minded pricks on any message board is a necessity. A necessity for fascination at such astounding bigotry/ignorance as well as general enjoyment. So make yourself at home. :o</p>

<p>As for Hiyjynx99 or whatever: </p>

<p>Here is one of his great posts. Really insightful. </p>

<p>“Pathetic attempt at saving face? Please, I don’t need to save face with some inferior student. Don’t confuse me not taking to time to tear apart your thread as anything other than a previous lack of time”</p>

<p>Very helpful hiyjynx. Did you get this behavior from your “years” of experience in counseling as you claim here: “I am somewhat of an expert since I have spent a healthy amount of time the past 2 years researching UC campuses, different programs, reviews, etc”</p>

<p>Let me guess, you got this dramatic and epic piece of advice from your years of experience: “compared to UCLA, UCI is like UCR as far as education goes” lol </p>

<p>What about schooling? Has UCLA helped you? Let us look at a few mistakes out of thousands. </p>

<p>“Yes I get you have convinced yourself you want to spend your next few years at UCSC because you have no choice. Other than maybe UCR. I get that. I am happy for you.” </p>

<p>Fragment sentence. </p>

<p>“I do hate “libtards” however do not hate liberals who are actually intelligent”</p>

<p>“However” is not a conjunction my friend. Did you learnt that frum ur edumacation at UCLA? Or did you forget it from HIGH SCHOOL GRAMMAR. </p>

<p>“You remember how I said lagging indicators? did you bother to read up on that? Probably not.”</p>

<p>You can’t even capitalize? </p>

<p>Looks like your schooling has done you well.</p>

<p>After all posts by hijynx99, galbitang says I’m the bigot??!?!?!? Does he/she even know what that means? Where are the examples of bigotry in my posts galbitang? Please do look at my posts and quote me on that. I think we would all love to see how baseless your claim is. Now run along at find my “bigoted” posts.</p>

<p>Also, I loved your “arms cut off” bit. Yea since you argue with your arms right? lol<br>
It’s just a shame that “everybody” on this forum hates me, since you represent “everybody” with your 18 posts. lol</p>

<p>Oh boy, another flame thread. I approve. Let the games commence. </p>

<p>Personally I don’t think anyone could accurately “chance” others imho. However I’m sure you could get into any school you’ve listed, with UCB being the hardest to get into. If UCI has a TAG for that major (don’t know how TAG’s work) then you’re in. TAP for UCLA would be a great help if you can finish it. Any particular reason why you can’t finish?</p>

15

<p>Lolumad vintij? Typing up an entire project worth of flaming and even wasting the time digging up quotes to defeat your opponents via the interwebz.</p>

<p>And because I have a measly 18 posts that makes your e-penor bigger. Get a life.</p>

16

<p>this is so, so sad.</p>

17

<p>cha cha cha… the name hijynx has been said, this thread it tainted…</p>

18

<p>lol. Hey calm down, Im just effing with you people. Besides you’re the one that said, and I quote “and nobody on these forums likes you,” you also used the word “consensus” I was just wondering how you found the “consensus” to represent everyone with your 18 (now 19) posts. They must have been really epic no?</p>

<p>I urge you all to take a really close look at this thread and decide who started the allegged “flaming.” No really, I insist. Infact, I dare everyone who reads this to dig up all threads in which I am a part of, and locate who started the “flaming.” It’s not my fault that ignorance intices reproach. I will admit defeat to anyone who can find a thread where I started the flaming. Plain and simple.</p>

<p>Facts are stubborn little things. Don’t get upset when I take the few minutes it takes to find them and use them. It’s very simple. If someone is going to flame me, they will be flamed back ten times harder. I never overtly flame someone who did not deserve it. It’s my mantra.</p>

<p>geez ur weird</p>

<p>One of us here is really really insecure and vindictive, having trouble with who it is though.</p>
