<p>although jetlogic may find that flattering i disagree with that , it jsut take hard work, time management, and a bit of motivation.</p>
<p>i once saw a youtube video of a former student at my high school who was a gangste turned his life around by going to elac and changing his study habits. he was later accepted into UCLA in biology (keep in mind he did not graduate high school). he says he got 4.0 last three semesters. his name is bart kwan co-founder of justkiddingfilms</p>
<p>Did anyone of your cal grant received Mt.Sac’s GPA Verification Form yet? Mine is still not received by Cal Grant. I want to see if it is just me or the school is sending these forms late.</p>
<p>@vtlord Haha, if you’re really that interested I got a 3.3/3.4 (can’t remember which) in high school (unweighted), which was basically me doing no homework and getting A’s on tests. Not so proud of it, though I did offset it with my SAT and AP scores.
I was enrolled in Calculus but decided against it so that I was able to leave school every day at lunch, rather than at 2. </p>
<p>“although jetlogic may find that flattering i disagree with that , it jsut take hard work, time management, and a bit of motivation.” That does make it sound like you’re denigrating my brain a little bit, but I’ll take no offense ;]</p>
<p>@jetlogic wow, you are really smart. im beginning to doubt myself if i take the aerospace engineering path after hearing this…(i only chose this path because the ROTC air force will go through aerospace studies and i want to be a bit ahead or have background knowledge. you need to graduate with at least a 93% to fly a jet) i seriously want to fly a jet! am i choosing the right path?? i’ve done so horribly throughout my academic life(except in math) i dont want this to carry on at Mt.sac. maybe i need a little guidance.</p>
<p>what would be a competitive GPA and # of ECs to get in to UCLA in aerospace engineering?
what is the next best UC after UCLA in aerospace engineering?</p>
<p>3.76 is the average GPA admitted to aerospace engineering at UCLA. First of all, don’t doubt yourself before you even start. Second of all, if it’s something you really want, then you’ll put in the hard work and long hours to understand something. Yea, maybe jetlogic has innate ability towards math, but does that mean that everyone who doesn’t have a natural inclination towards math should give up? No. If all you want to do is go into the air force with a college degree then why do you need a degree in engineering? If you try and do engineering for the wrong reason, you’ll fail. why don’t you obtain an easier degree where you’re more likely to receive a 93% overall?</p>
<p>@cyse00 they said they would recommend getting a degree in science and if the whole pilot thing doesn’t work out, i can use my degree to find a job.</p>
<p>“why don’t you obtain an easier degree where you’re more likely to receive a 93% overall?”</p>
<p>i meant you need at about 93% in your graduating class in the rotc to obtain a jet or be accepted into flight school</p>
<p>@moonkittie - id check with mtsac and bug them, they get overwhelmed and sometimes need a nudge</p>
<p>@vtlord - like cyse said, dont doubt yourself. once you get your first semester of A’s, then your second, third, fourth…it all becomes easy. your motivation should resemble the “snowball effect.” once you start rolling, it only gets bigger. you may run into a rock, a tree, w/e it may be…but that shouldnt stop your momentum. </p>
<p>if you want to fly a jet, you will find a way to do so. i can see why they take the top 93 percentile…you are flying essentially millions of dollars. i suggest you talk to someone in the air force, there are plenty of recruiting offices and they can help you on a much more detailed level. but i DONT suggest you give up before you’ve even given it a shot.</p>
<p>Mt. SAC does file GPA verification automatically. From the CSAC website “Many schools wait until the filing deadline date to submit this information.”</p>
<p>It looks like last year Mt. SAC did GPA verification in time for the second deadline (community colleges). So, if this is your first year getting a Cal grant and you’re transferring, then you would have to worry. If you’re going to Mt. SAC next year, you’re good.</p>
<p>i just received a mail from mt sac regarding the summer bridge program and it asks me to enroll into the summer of 2012 and i already enrolled in to the fall of 2012 how do i change this?</p>
<p>@Dainese @blackmamba@JetLogic: Thanks all for the helps, they finally sent the GPA verification form electronically today, after I went through all the troubles to get a manually GPA verification form from the school. Now Cal Grant is going to have two copies. =( But, I glad everything went well.</p>
<p>Did anyone here take Joe Terreri for math? I have him for math 180. I’m struggling to understand his lectures despite breezing through math 50 to math 160 with As. I’m not sure if it’s him or that I hit a wall. I’m contemplating on dropping his class to take Tran in the Fall, but that means I will have to take math 180, chem 80, and bio 2 at the same time. Do you guys think that is too much?</p>
<p>I guess what I’m seeking is someone who will tell me Terreri did not turn out to be that bad of a professor. (hopeful…)</p>
<p>Thanks Dainese. I find my experience relating to more of the negative reviews of him on ratemyprofessor. I’m hoping someone here who took him can tell me some more redeeming qualities of his class. Is the extra credit part true? Because if he really does give a ton of ec, I suppose I could wing it.</p>
<p>That sounds like a fun lineup. <sarcasm haha ., depends on you really… Do you have a job or any obligations outside of school? If so , then I’d imagine it would be a very difficult semester…</p>
