<p>erikuh,</p>

<p>I definitely recommend Poli Sci 1 Scholars with Schultz, it’s a great class. I’m also in your situation, as I have to squeeze in 3 honors classes by Fall 2009. It’s odd that your request for extra units got shut down, how is your gpa? When I asked my Scholars counselor she was fine with it. </p>

<p>Applying to:</p>

<p>UCLA: Communication Studies
UCB: Rhetoric
UCSB: Communication </p>

<p>-and private schools-
Pomona College: Politics
Occidental College: Government
Sarah Lawrence College
USC: Annenberg School of Communications
Cornell: Communication</p>

<p>A little diversity, but I’m really not too sure yet :/</p>

62

<p>I technically don’t have a SMC GPA yet since this is my first semester here. But I got a 3.35 or something at my old school. </p>

<p>The fall schedule is up although they haven’t announced it. Yay for changing web addresses from 2008 to 2009. </p>

<p>If you take HIST 13, COMM 10 (Bundy campus), or PSYCH 11 (Bundy campus) let me know. Those are the tentative scholars classes I’m going to take.</p>

63

<p>Let’s see:
UCLA:business econ, accounting minor
Berkeley: business admin, haas hopeful
UCSD (TAG): managerial science
UCI: business admin</p>

<p>Private schools:
Santa Clara Univ (TAG): leavey school of biz
USC: marshall school of biz</p>

64

<p>UCLA: Anthropology or Linguistics-Anthropology

<p>hey guys, how do we go about in writing our personal statements if we plan to apply for different majors at different UCs? because don’t we have to write about why we chose that major? so if you have 2 possible major would you have to incorporate both in the essay? Sorry if this sounds confusing, but I’m in a dilemma!</p>

<p>for example:</p>

<p>MartinSMC, you are applying as a Communication Studies for UCLA and Rhetoric for UCB. will you write about Communication Studies or Rhetoric or BOTH in your personal statement?</p>

66

<p>People from smc, anyone who needs to take anthro 2, DO NOT TAKE Minzenberg. He’s very nice, but his quizzes and midterms are very tricky! also for political science, schultz is good, buckley is hard but you’ll learn a lot, farber is another nice and easy lady. I know most of the professors from every department in smc if anyone needs help choosing classes and the right professor, tell me and I’ll gladly assist with any concerns you may have.</p>

<p>Schools thus far:</p>

Brown (?)</p>

<p>I’m really trying to expand my college horizons and get more ideas of which schools to look into. Any suggestions?</p>

68

<p>I heard Cornell and NYU are pretty transfer friendly if you’re interested in the NY area.</p>

69

<p>Hm, perhaps. Any idea what the stats are for those schools?</p>

70

<p>NYU - 26%
Cornell - 29%</p>

71

<p>Wow, those are very high admit rates compared to everywhere else I’m applying (minus SU). Thanks for the info, Erikuh. I’ll definitely look into both of those.</p>

72

<p>I wasn’t even thinking about Private and/or out of state schools…</p>

<p>Hmm…</p>

<p><em>devious look</em></p>

73

<p>I’m too lazy to take extra classes. <em>cough</em>USC<em>cough</em>
Extra essays too. Ha.</p>

<p>I’ll look for other top 50 schools with 20%+ trasfer rates.</p>

74

<p>What extra classes are you specifically talking about? The ones they require in those six ge categories?</p>

75

<p>I would have to finish categories I, V, and diversity.</p>

76

<p>fall 2010 transfer here~</p>

77

<p>I can’t read all the UCLA threads. I’m too impatient!</p>

<p>To take my mind off admissions, anyone have a story the weirdest/funniest thing they’ve seen at their CC?</p>

<p>There’s a lady who gets around campus on a unicycle. :|</p>

78

<p>erikuh and theregoesevan: nice to see other anthro majors for fall 2010! Seems like there’s not many at my school… What are you guys planning to do with anthro? Ppl always ask me & I really have no idea, just following a passion & figure will it out on the way. Something to do with traveling & writing would be fun for me bc I’m also minoring in english.</p>

79

<p>I have my options open with public health, social work, child development, and teaching.</p>

<p>Anthropology is so broad you could do almost anything with it! I know someone at UCLA who is an anthro major and plans to go into forensics.</p>

80

<p>^ thats kind of what my anthro teacher does. He teaches part of the week and does cold cases and when they find bones they call him.</p>
