<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I was looking at my prep-for-major classes for a UCLA Fall 2010 transfer from my CC. I am an anthropology major, and this is what I see:</p>
<p>ASSIST</a> Report: SDCC 08-09 UCLA Articulation Agreement by Major</p>
<p>My question is this: Anthro 33 (The UCLA course) isn't offered here at SD City. Does it greatly affect or jeopardize my chances for admission (not solely for UCLA, but you know, Berkeley, etc)? Has anyone been in a similar predicament?</p>
<p>Thanks :)</p>
<p>i’m an anthro major too and anth 33 isn’t offered at any CC’s that i know of. as long as you’ve done anth 1 w/ lab, anth 2 and anth 3, you should be fine.</p>
<p>:) what area of anthropology are you interested in?</p>
<p>I am looking towards Cultural. Or, as Berkeley, UCLA and UCSD like to call it, Sociocultural Anthropology. What about you? :)</p>
<p>i dunno, i’m torn between physical/biological and cultural. i’m interested in the relationship of medicine and technology to natural selection. kind of crosses both.</p>
<p>Are you transferring this fall or the following? (2010)</p>
<p>this fall; but i may defer. are you determined for UCLA or did you apply to other schools as well?</p>
<p>I’m actually a fall 2010 transfer, So I’ve got a little ways to go. </p>
<p>I plan on applying to Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD (TAG)</p>
<p>Have you heard back from any other universities?</p>
<p>why do people major in anthropology, to do grad school? and why are you possibly deferring if i may ask, because i might do the same thing, do you know the policy</p>
<p>because i like anthropology, eptar. i’ve had a 10 year sales career, so i can get a job no prob (in sales). plus, there are more and more anthropologists in business (marketing consulting). </p>
<p>i may defer because i need more money if i move; depends on what school i choose. i’m pretty sure most schools will let you defer at least one if not two semesters; but you can’t attend college at any other school during that time.</p>
<p>schools i’m accepted to… (don’t laugh): ucsc (tag), ucd (tag), stony brook, and university of new hampshire.</p>
<p>waiting on a bunch more.</p>
<p>pretty cool, theregoesevan, have fun on the adventure to transfer!</p>
<p>I’m majoring in Anthropology because It’s a broad, interesting major that allows me to either teach if I want or work in non-profits if I want.</p>
<p>May a student be admitted for one term but defer enrollment until a subsequent term?</p>
<p>UCB
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. However, the Colleges of Letters and Science, Engineering, Natural Resources and Environmental Design may offer spring admission to several hundred applicants whom the University was unable to accommodate for the fall semester. Most of these spaces are in the College of Letters and Science. In addition, students with special circumstances may write to the director of admissions (110 Sproul Hall #5800, Berkeley, CA 94720-5800) to defer admission to a later term; such requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>UCD
Yes. The Deferred Enrollment Program allows newly admitted undergraduate students to postpone initial enrollment for up to one year. The purpose is to allow time to time to deal with unexpected circumstances (e.g., illness, death in family) or to pursue estraordinary opportunities through approved programs; however, students are not allowed to enroll at another college during this time. To be eligible for deferred enrollment, students must return the affirmative Statement of Intent to Register with the deposit by the deadline, and must satisfy all University admission and entrance requirements. The processing fee for this program is $60, and the deadline to submit an application is the first day of instruction of the quarter to which the student was originally admitted. For more information or to receive an application, contact Undergraduate Admissions at (530) 752-3710.</p>
<p>UCI
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. However, a student with a compelling reason for not entering in the quarter for which he or she was admitted may request a deferment of enrollment to a subsequent term by writing a letter to the director of admissions (204 Administration Building, Irvine, CA 92697-1075) stating the reason for the request. The student will have to file a new admission application for the deferred term.</p>
<p>UCLA
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment; students are admitted to the term for which they applied. However, written requests for deferred enrollment will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>UCM
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. However, a student with a compelling reason may request deferment of enrollment to a subsequent term by writing a letter to the director of admissions (5200 N. Lake Rd., Merced, CA 95343), stating the reason for the request. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis for a maximum deferment of one year.</p>
<p>UCR
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment; students are admitted to the term for which they applied. However, written requests for deferred enrollment will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>UCSD
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. There is no formal policy, however; occasional exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>UCSB
Generally, admitted students may not defer enrollment. There is no formal policy, however; occasional exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis.</p>
<p>UCSC
UC Santa Cruz does not automatically grant requests for delayed enrollment. Students who are interested in deferring enrollment must write a letter of appeal to the associate director of admissions (150 Hahn Student Services, 1156 High St., Santa Cruz, CA 95064) explaining their circumstances. Unless the appeal is granted, the applicant should request that all existing application materials be retained, and file a new application for the desired quarter. In the event that the request for delayed enrollment crosses academic years, a new application must be filed for consideration.</p>
<p>good thing i wouldn’t defer if i went to cal. 
only out of state schools would mean i’d have to defer and they seem okay with it (ivies).</p>
<p>ilivefree- You applied to Ivy Leagues? I had read somewhere that you couldn’t do that any more. Maybe it was just Harvard and Princeton and Yale. Whats the process like for an Ivy Transfer from a CCC?</p>
<p>yep, i wanted the best fit for me and a few of them had more interesting professors than the uc’s. i’ve always wanted to go to cal, but philosophically and politically, it’s not a great fit for me at all.</p>
<p>harvard didn’t take transfers this year. i applied to cornell, dartmouth and a special program at Yale for adult students. oh, and stanford, but that’s not ivy (technically).</p>
<p>process was fine; they all use the “common application” and it’s super easy to complete. each had very interesting supplement applications; especially stanford. they asked cool questions, like “what’s the biggest challenge facing society?”</p>
<p>sorry if my questions sounds dumb, but wouldn’t your experience in sales be more of an advantage then the anthropology degree, like how would you market it without that experience or without taking like accounting classes? sorry if this sounds offensive, but im kind of naive or ignorant about this</p>
<p>eptar, not dumb. not at all. my experience in sales only got me so far; i needed a degree in SOMETHING to move higher on the chain. anthropology was a great fit to my interests and, in fact, much of sales is anthropology (understanding other cultures in large corporations, adjusting your selling style by region targeted, etc…) </p>
<p>it will work for me in sales; and as mentioned, many corporations seek anthropology majors to do research on their company culture, how to market their products in other countries, etc…</p>
<p>anyway, i may just not go back to sales and end up teaching high school. </p>
<p>long of the short of it is i’m in college to learn about something that interests me and to have fun with that; the degree will help me but it won’t matter what it’s in for continuing sales. thus, anthropology was what won my attention.</p>
<p>thanks for the insight. i wanted to know if you experienced or know if accounting knowledge is required for a marketing or public relations position or your experience in sales? thanks</p>
<p>not really; in fact, sales/marketing is usually at odds with accounting people. they set commission/salary (accounting) and budgets; sales and marketing spends money like it’s going out of style. you need both departments, but they aren’t the best of friends. :)</p>
<p>only accounting i needed to do was calculate my commission money at the end of the month! and i did that for fun!</p>
<p>marketing needs a communications or marketing degree. </p>
<p>sales, they don’t care what your degree is in if you show promise.</p>
