<p>I'm a high school sophomore who wants to attend UCLA's D|MA department when the time comes. I get the process; you fill out the UC app, declaring major (say Graphic Design), and then complete the supplemental D|MA one, with portfolio and whatnot.</p>
<p>If D|MA rejects you, does that mean UCLA rejects you? (Seeing as how you can't quite major in GD if you're not in D|MA.. : p)</p>
<p>Sorry if this is a silly question with an obvious answer ~</p>
<p>is the DMA department in the art school or something? because i don't think they consider your major, well they do but not as much, in college of letters and sciences, but in other schools i think they accept their own people and tell ucla to send the acceptance letters...</p>
<p>USC accepts people into Letters and Sciences before accepting into the different programs. Since USC is the superior school, I believe UCLA may do the same.</p>
<p>Kickserve, they do consider your major otherwise the whole supplemental thing they ask for would be useless :rolleyes: It's the letters and science where your major doesn't really matter.unless i read your post wrong...those commas were confusing.</p>
<p>As far as I know, if you apply for a major in the School of arts&architecture or theater and film or whatever (anything that's not letters and science), your alternate major is not considered at all. So basically my point is if you get rejected from D|MA you're automatically rejected from UCLA.</p>
<p>I don't know this for sure but this is how it worked for the music dept which is in the school of arts and architecture. I would call the department when you apply and ask them.</p>
<p>woah woah woah.... someone is in the wrong forums... why the heck would better schools like UCLA and Cal use the dumb ways of admitting students that USC use... so what some students don't have elite scores on tests and stuff, we'll admit people into our art department because they might be the next Monet! based on their artworks of course:)</p>
<p>fireemblem, i think they ask for majors mainly to divide out the people that applied to engineering schools and such, i mean its not like a 3.8 gpa can get into yeddish department when a 4.2 gpa get rejected from something more competitive like premed bio and such...</p>
<p>Someone really is in the wrong forum. Bashing UCLA isn't a past time here if you don't go to the school. I thought you sent in a portfolio for art or something. The policy for UCLA and Berkeley is that if you don't get into the major you applied for, the overwhelming time the alternate is not considered (for Berkeley's case there is no alternate).</p>
<p>i'm not really following you..engineering school, school of a&a, school of theater and film, and letters & science are different schools. i think i'm missing your point..</p>
<p>as for quixotic rick, he just needs to grow up...i was at USC with my friend and there was a UCLA sticker and bruin license plate on the back of his car and the kids at USC just laughed when they saw it. Nobody gives s***for it unless they really have nothing else to identify themselves with :rolleyes:</p>
<p>mellowly, </p>
<p>I think I understand your question. So, when you apply for Graphic design you're actually applying to a different school within UCLA. So, if you aren't accepted you aren't accepted. This goes for all the different school within UCLA. If you weren't accepted in the Engineering school, you wouldn't be considered for admission into L&S. This is due to the fact that secondary majors outside and inside the school you applied for, in most cases, aren't taken into consideration for admissions.</p>
<p>Lol, I love you guys. I'm just kidding. :) At least I'm not as bad as the guy that tried to jinx everyone, right?</p>
<p>sry about that fireemblem, my point is that engineering school, school of a&a, school of theater and film accept their own students, but on the UC application you don't apply to those schools, instead you apply to majors in those schools... but when people apply to majors in college of letters and science, i don't think what major they applied under changes admission process that much hence i used the yeddish department example(no offense to anyone studying yeddish) where that people with lower stats can get in by applying to an less competitive major while more qualified students gets rejected because they are applying for a competitive major.</p>
<p>umm you are actually worse than the guy that tried to jinx everyone, that post was clearly a joke and it only shows how much better of a school he thinks UCLA is since he wants others to open up spots for him, while you are trying to convince a bunch of UCLA alums, current students, and hopefuls that USC is a better school, please stop doing that, stay on the USC boards if you got in if not i don't think bashing ucla on CC will get you in :)</p>
