Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Seeing this thread made me both nervous and excited!</p>

<p>I can not believe its only a month away, and though I am sure there are going to be days when it will feel insufferably long its insane to think that this is it in a way… in both good ways and bad ways; a lot of us have put in a lot of work for a long time for this (why we are here being a different matter all together).</p>

<p>Best of luck to everyone!
I really hope we all end up in the right place and that through this experience we will find many opportunities that will give our lives purpose, fulfilment, passion, and joy.</p>

<p>I and I’m sure many others will do that. Don’t give up hope if you don’t get an invite from UCLA to an open house event soon.</p>

<p>@AnthroFlo</p>

<p>Couldn’t have said it better myself.</p>

<p>@cayton, I want to specialize in internal medicine and sub-specialize in either gastroenterology, cardiology, or oncology still trying to figure it out. But yeah I would love to be a surgeon, so I have at least 8 more years to go after college haha. </p>

25

<p>The waiting is the worst part! &&& there is still a month to go. Good luck everyone!!!</p>

<p>Any other English majors mind posting their stats pleaseeeee? </p>

26

<p>@ucastell</p>

<p>That’s pretty cool. And hey, there’s no rush to figure out what field of medicine you wish to enter.</p>

<p>But it would be pretty cool to be a surgeon. ^_^</p>

<p>@cwalkercfli21</p>

<p>You have pretty good stats for UCLA! Plus you have TAP on your side.</p>

<p>I know you didn’t ask anyone to chance you, but I just wanted to say that!</p>

<p>@cayton</p>

<p>Thanks! How’s your class load this semester? Are you going to miss SMC? I will not miss the parking…</p>

31

<p>@Cayton</p>

<p>It’s fine, I’m taking 12 units in what I hope will be my final semester here. Contemporary Moral Conflicts, Political Philosophy, American Art History, and Native American History are the classes I’m taking. </p>

<p>I’ll miss SMC quite a bit with its great instructors and beautiful campus, but I won’t miss some of the people there. I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed this, but there are quite a few weirdos at this school lol. And for some reason, I attract them towards me. :frowning: Maybe I’m just unlucky.</p>

<p>The parking is terrible, I agree. Thankfully, I don’t drive to SMC.</p>

<p>How about you? Will you miss SMC?</p>

32

<p>Is anyone planning to double major or minor once at UCLA? </p>

33

<p>Hoping to minor in Philosophy if admitted. I don’t know how to go about doing this though. What about you OC?</p>

34

<p>@ocnative</p>

<p>I planned on double majoring in history and philosophy once upon a time, but now I only want to major in philosophy. If possible, I would minor in history at UCLA, but they don’t offer it as a minor for some reason. :/</p>

<p>@Zalrons</p>

<p>This page describes the required classes for the philosophy minor and how to add the aforementioned minor.</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.philosophy.ucla.edu/minor.html”>http://www.philosophy.ucla.edu/minor.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Have you already completed some philosophy classes at your CC?</p>

35

<p>Everyone takes 100A during your first quarter. Literally all admitted philo majors are in that class. In addition you generally take one extra philosophy class of your choice. 3rd is usually an elective. I’d take a class you might be interested in majoring, just incase philosophy isn’t your thing. CC philosophy is a joke compared to UCLA philo</p>

36

<p>@Philosoup</p>

<p>Every time someone says “CC philosophy is a joke compared to UCLA philosophy”, I cry a little.</p>

<p>Is there anything I can do to prepare for it now? Help! :O</p>

37

<p>@Zalrons </p>

<p>Awesome! That’s very pre-law of you :wink: And I’m considering minoring in Public Health at UCLA, if admitted. Haven’t really decided into that yet though. </p>

<p>@Cayton </p>

<p>Yeah, UCLA doesn’t offer a History minor but UC Berkeley does lol. I guess that’s a con for UCLA, right? :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

38

<p>@ocnative</p>

<p>I suppose it is, lol.</p>

<p>Score one for Berkeley! </p>

39

<p>@Cayton</p>

<p>Invest in a laptop, writing with pen in CC was a breeze, the professors talked slow and gently. At UCLA, these guys talk so fast, I couldn’t keep up with pencil and missed a lot of the points. Typing has been much better for me. Also I record the lectures via my Macbook to listen back to. </p>

<p>@cayton, thank you that’s very nice of you :slight_smile: I know I have plenty of time to make that decision haha. Ugh I can’t wait to finish college, and finally attend medical school! </p>
