Odd Dilemma? UCSD or UCLA situation

Transfer Students
1

<p>THis is an odd situation and i only have 24 hours to make my decision.</p>

<p>I have a TAG agreement signed for UCSD for spring of 06.</p>

<p>I want to go to UCLA.
UCLA only accepts fall transfers. </p>

<p>Do i push my tag back to fall of '06 and try for UCLA, or do i forget about UCLA and just go to UCSD.</p>

<p>My major would be sometype of economics. My current gpa is 3.83 my transfer gpa is 3.66. </p>

<p>Basiclly i dont know if its worht risking it to try to get into UCLA and then spend another semester at a JC.</p>

<p>Someone please help!</p>

<p>depends how bad you love/hate JC. I would personally risk a semester because I like UCLA a lot more.</p>

3

<p>but then what if i dont get into UCLA</p>

<p>do you see how confusing this is !</p>

<p>Hey life is all about taking risks but I am not too sure about this one. Although economics is not as highly impacted as business economics at UCLA, it is still regarded as being impacted so having a 3.66 transfer GPA will be sort of a slight reach especially if you are not in the TAP program. If you are in the TAP and completed your IGETC, I would say go for it and take that risk. It is up to you though.</p>

<p>if u dont wait it out u will "what if" urself for the rest of ur life... push it back to fall.. its only 1 semester</p>

6

<p>do you guys think UCLA will look negatively on the fact that i have been in a JC for like 4 years?</p>

7

<p>no not at all. UCLA isn't THAT much better than UCSD and, depending on what you like, maybe not at all better. So if you want to go UCLA what's 4.5 years compared to 4 anyway?</p>

8

<p>^ i meant negatively overall, not between 4 and 4.5</p>

<p>also, i am confused what GPA is posted on their admission rates.
for example they say for business econ average applied gpa is 3.42 and average admitted is 3.78, are they counting the gpa on your application or your gpa once you enter after completing your fall and spring term?</p>

<p>hey you guys i just relized i took one of the major prep courses credit/no credit ...the english course required for Econ and Business Econ.</p>

<p>What is that going to do to my application?</p>

10

<p>gonna mess u up.. gotta take major prep for a grade</p>

11

<p>well , i alreayd have a cr grade in english , so what do i do ?
is that a major mistake? should i not even try</p>

12

<p>Speak with a counselor although most of them are of no help haha</p>

13

<p>yah i decided to just go to UCSD </p>

<p>financially speaking i really want to spend a semester or an year abroad and living in ucla will not allow me to do that.
I would rather take out loans for semester abroad than for just ucla.
