<p>To be fair, we have no obligation of any kind to help out next yearsā transfer applicants by keeping this thread free of speculation. I didnāt feel entitled to a speculation-free UCLA transfer thread from last year and Iād like to think Iām not alone. Even if I am, my fellow transfer applicants donāt <em>deserve</em> the assistance of a year-old thread. Itād be nice, but we arenāt entitled to it and I donāt know why we should be. It logically follows that we have no reason to adhere to certain guidelines in this thread(other than the obvious ones that apply to all forum topics) for the benefit of next yearsā transfers.</p>
<p>Damn you guys take this forum thing seriously huh</p>
<p>@onehandedredā </p>
<p>College Confidential has a way of doing that to you. :D</p>
<p>Itās just the heat that comes naturally every year the week before transfer decisions no biggie.</p>
<p>@Caytonā </p>
<p>I didnāt even see your post when I posted that haha, mostly reacting Ramonaās post</p>
<p>@onehandedredā </p>
<p>Oh, ok then lol</p>
<p>Haha, my younger daughter got the mail, came in and said, āEmilie, you got something from UCLA!ā We all almost had a heart attack.</p>
<p>This is what it was:
Good news - she got a Regents Scholarship for $14,000!
Bad news - itās for Merced.
WHY???
:(( :((. :((. :((</p>
<p>@lindyk8 hahahaā¦ But Congrats to your daughter!!! Still this is a very good sign</p>
<p>@lindyk8ā </p>
<p>Lol! Did that make your daughter consider UC Merced now?</p>
<p>God, I hope so @lkm291ā. I told my daughter, hey, you can always say in passing, oh yeah, I got offered a regents scholarship once. And theyāll go great, where? And then you cough real loud to hide the answer, heheh.</p>
<p>@cayton I just read you are taking political philosophy a few pages back. If you donāt mind me asking who are you taking it with?</p>
<p>@TheUnderdog1ā </p>
<p>Iām taking it with Steven Kurvink right now. Heās a great professor. I recommend him even though political philosophy can be a dry subject even for a philosophy major.</p>
<p>@cayton I was going to take him, but his late classes didnāt mesh with my schedule unfortunately. He is definitely awesome I took my first Political Science class with him, and became a Poli Sci major because of it. Donāt know if it was him, or maybe I just found what I wanted in life, but regardless he was definitely a great guy.</p>
<p>I am taking it with Oifer instead. He is pretty cool too. Has an interesting way of teaching the subject.</p>
<p>@TheUnderdog1ā </p>
<p>Thatās great to hear! Iāve heardā¦interesting things about Oifer. Iāve avoided taking his class because heās gotten some bad reviews on RateMyProfessors and one of my friends took his political philosophy class and didnāt like it much. Still, others like him and his teaching style.</p>
<p>@Caytonā
Yeah, I got to be honest he is very specific with what he expects, and he expects a lot. So I spend a lot of time in office hours trying to really grasp the concepts, and apply them. </p>
<p>The issue is Iām starting to mentally check out. So itās more on my end. Too busy thinking about these forums, and my acceptances, and where Iām going to move, to spend much time on his class recently. I think I will be better after we get out decisions this week and next though. </p>
<p>@TheUnderdog1ā You mentioned taking Oiferā¦are you in his Scholars section of his regular Poli Sci/Philo 51 section? </p>
<p>@Cayton I agree with you that Kurvink is a great professor. He definitely played a big part in me becoming a Poli Sci major.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 Hahahaā¦ Hopefully she can brag about having both the acceptance and the scholarship from LA 
(The next week or two will be tough for all of us :-S )</p>
<p>@SoCalLife310ā I am not in the honors class. I am in the 9:30 one right after.
Which Kurvink course did you take, and when?</p>
<p>Good luck to you too, @lkm291ā, but she never got any emails about applying for any Regents, and UCLA sent out the requests already. She just wants to get in. Itās gnawing away at the whole family. I actually fantasize about that moment of her clicking into the portal. Itās gonna be gut-wrenchingā¦ @-) </p>
