<p>HELL YES! **** YOU HUMANITIES!</p>
<p>Hey all and thanks for answering all our questions about UCI. I got one more. How is it being at UCI without a car?</p>
<p>I know that I’d be fine in UCLA and Cal without a car, but am still more inclined towards Irvine, so please let me know what you think…thanks!</p>
<p>UCI without a car sucks, you gotta walk everywhere. But don’t worry, i didnt have a car last year either. I just walked to UTC, or got rides with my dormmates to costco, beach, wherever. Its not much of a hinderance, rather an annoyance. Plus, if you DO have a car, ppl will want to leech you for rides… and … with gas at $4.04 here, its a pain really. </p>
<p>Also Birdkiller, dont say that =[. I took humcore freshmen year and destroyed hella breadth requirements. SUre it was hell, sure it was a ***** class, but now i can look back and say, “HAHA SUCKER you’re still taking humanistic inquiry / writing or whatever class when im already done with my breadth”.</p>
<p>being at uci w/o car is fine for me.</p>
<p>thanks iloveants and ShoeFactory!</p>
<p>yeah, thanks mucho for all the answers</p>
<p>last question (for now anyways), for CHP, what is the deal with being exempt from certain requirements if i don’t do it as an entering freshmen? i dont plan on entering CHP as a freshmen (to avoid the hum core), but i still want to graduate with it. would H. o-chem (52 series), the honors social science and honors research be enough classes for me to graduate with CHP honors?</p>
<p>i won’t take h. general chem cause i took g.chem at IVC (im a fairly local student) and got As both semesters (one of the consolers at the phys sci school said i could take honors ochem as a frosh then). what about the honors science core in general; do i still have to take that as a science major? i dont believe the bio 97-98-99 sequence is offered as honors (something ill have to take for premed and the biochem conc).</p>
<p>honors ochem is optional.</p>
<p>If you want to do CHP w/o hum core, i advise you take biomed engineering:premed and stick with it or switch.</p>
<p>science majors dont take sci core.</p>
<p>honors ochem is optional.</p>
<p>so yea i think what yo usaid is pretty much true.</p>
<p>Best part of CHP is CHP housing imo.</p>
<p>when does the first come first thing start for housing? is during the one you submit with SIR or the contract that they send to you later on?</p>
<p>oh HI i was thinking of majoring in business economics since i don’t think i’ll be able to get into business administration because it’s hella impacted. business econ is NOT impacted right? do you have to maintain a certain gpa, and is it hard to get even a 3.0? also, what kinds of courses would you be taking? is it heavily based on math or just concept?</p>
<p>Mi Kage:
Biz econ is not impacted, pretty sure everybody gets in also. There is no minimum gpa requirement for biz econ (although it has to be above 2.0 or else you get kicked out of school). 3.0 is not hard to get at all. Biz econ is mainly econ courses, introductory math, and statistics. There is pretty tough math (math 4, linear algebra/matrices), but otherwise than that its over. and statistics, which annoys me. And a bunch of theoretical economics, of course! :thumb:</p>
<p>Almondflavored:
i’m not sure. think its the contract… but this i cannot answer. haha, such a long time ago =/. Shoefactory??</p>
<p>thanks shoefactory!</p>
<p>i looked over the biomedical eng thing (it seems better then my biochem approach). thanks. </p>
<p>just to make sure, if i did do the biomed eng program/CHP, would i only have to take the social sci core honors/thesis (199 +196)? i wouldnt have to take the sci core cause im already a science major and i wouldnt have to take the hum core honors cause i would be an engineering major? </p>
<p>should considering not enrolling in the CHP as a frosh just so i can get out of the honors hum core?</p>
<p>Nah, CHP owns. Don’t not enroll in CHP to miss hum core.</p>
<p>I am BME:Premed, and i am exempt from honors hum core, so it works.</p>
<p>sorry to post this again but can i get shoefactory to answer this one, the other person wasn’t too confident in her answer</p>
<p>when does the first come first thing start for housing? is during the one you submit with SIR or the contract that they send to you later on?</p>
<p>Just get your contract in on time.</p>
<p>There’s no first come first serve as long as you are ON TIME.</p>
<p>If you are late, then chances are you aren’t gonna get on-campus housing.</p>
<p>They’ll send you a contract later and you will have to mail it to them.</p>
<p>How interesting/challenging are the classes?</p>
<p>Also, please tell me they have other vegan/veggie things than the unhealthy veggi burgers I saw on the website! </p>
<p>Is it hard to get a single bedroom/room in AV as a freshman?</p>
<p>classes are not hard(writing is the hardest). note: i am sci major and I suck at writing. top 15% of class will get an A (roughly) in your science classes so it really depends how smart/hardworking you are. My physics/math are uninteresting. Chemistry is interesting.</p>
<p>Best veggie thing is the organic salad bar. the veggie stuff doesn’t look very good.</p>
<p>Yes, i think it’ll be hard to get a single in AV.</p>
<p>That’s terrible about veggie stuff )':</p>
<p>I’m really good at writing (I’m right brained) so I have no problems at all with that sort of stuff. If I’m an IS major, would I have to take science/math classes? I hate science/math (but that doesn’t mean I could do it). How much liberty do you have with essays? If you felt like writing a plausible and pertinent essay on UFO’s would they mind at all? </p>
<p>I’m really undecided about UCI/UCSD or college in general since I didn’t get into any that I REALLY wanted to go in… as a college student, what would you advise me? (I’m thinking of waiting a year and applying to more privates [I’m 1st generation and didn’t know till now that applying to privates=more aid ])</p>
<p>private colleges are super duper expensive.</p>
<p>go to whichever (uci/ucsd) you prefer.</p>
<p>In the general writing classes aren’t that liberal with topics. You have to take breadth sci/math and that’s it. </p>
<p>I know people that WERE good at writing in HS and theyre pulling b’s in writing. The ‘curve’ in writing is pretty damn tough. (my writing teacher gave out 1 A out of 23 students for our last essay and it was me! /endbrag).</p>
<p>Lol on your bragging! Congrats (:</p>
<p>I thought they were expensive up until the point where I got accepted to a private art college and they gave me almost all my tuition in grants/scholarships. The school itself gave me 15k per year with 1.8k work study. </p>
<p>I would stay at home, except for the fact that my dad is an alcoholic and can be very emotionally abusive. To be honest, I don’t fit in at UCSD/UCI at all, and I wouldn’t be happy there and if I could, I would wait a year and reapply. The thing is, I can’t stand to be with my dad because he’s so controlling and violent. And living in San Diego, it’s hard to get an apartment let alone a job to pay it.</p>
<p>Why do you feel you won’t “fit in” at UCSD/UCI?</p>
