Prepare yourself for rejection

<p>This goes out to everyone and anyone who is losing hope of not being accepted into the college of their choice:</p>

<p>"So now that you opened your thinking up a little more, consider this: what do you want to be when you grow up? If you are looking to progress toward a profession that requires a professional degree (i.e. physician, lawyer, business) then know that going to the UC as an undergraduate has virtually no advantage on the likelihood of entering the schools professional program. Many inaccurately think, "If I go to UCLA as an undergraduate and earn my bachelors degree there, I am more likely to get into their professional and graduate schools." Well know that they are completely separate processes. Being at UCLA, like any other applicant, is part of your strengths and qualities, and very few schools at this level guarantee admission to their graduate and professional schools. Thus, you will be considered largely on grades, admissions test performance, life experiences, and application/interviews. So in fact, if you do want to get into UCLA Law, UCLA Medicine, etc, being an undergraduate here won’t give you an added edge--it falls on the shoulders of the individual to be a well-rounded applicant."</p>

<p>P.S. This is coming from an admissions officer at ucla</p>

<p>this is probably early but you can actually call ucla and find out why you were rejected</p>

<p>This entire community needs a heavy dosage of motherly comfort, including me.</p>

10

<p>cr_brook and beardy… major/gpa/tap?</p>

11

<p>who will provide this “motherly comfort” you speak of??</p>

12

<p>math/econ
3.43
all prereqs done
no tap (i’m transferring from ucsd)</p>

13

<p>you have a really good chance. the avg gpa was like 3.49??</p>

14

<p>1800-rent-a-slut</p>

<p>thats where u get your motherly “comfort” from :P</p>

15

<p>3.56 last year. So above me by .13. But the only thing that helps is a 70% acceptance rate to that major :)</p>

16

<p>well… they’ll take into consideration that you’ve taken your courses at a UC versus a CC i’m sure… even though cc students have priority. anyhow, best of luck to you.</p>

17

<p>thanks. you too. but you don’t need it, it seems. :)</p>

18

<p>since everyone needs motherly comfort, should we split the rent?? lol</p>

<p>“My soul is prepared! How’s yours?” - Kazim</p>

<p>I am ready. Either way I am going to a good university, and it doesn’t make that much difference for undergrad. I’ll still have a great shot at a good post-grad program if I attend Davis instead of Berkeley. Plus I could save money on cost of living, and it might be a little easier to keep my GPA up. Still 2 weeks, but I’m prepared and grateful either way.</p>

<p>i’ll worry about UCLA for my masters, but right now im more than happy with attending UCSD.</p>
