<p>Hey guys !
I am wondering if housing trick on Ursa is working for 100%.
If I have a good message on that, I will probably get in?Or
If I have a bad sign on that, I will probably not get in??</p>
<p>Can housing thing be updated again in future? or was it already finished to be updated by ucla ?</p>
<p>Thanx:)</p>

<p>from assist.org:</p>
<p>āListed below are the lower division preparation courses for the major. THIS
MAJOR IS HIGHLY SELECTIVE. ALL preparatory courses should be completed by the
spring term just prior to transfer. All courses must be taken for a letter
grade. The calculus course requirements should be met as early as possible.ā</p>
<p>Hmm, it doesnāt sound too encouraging. Youāre still doing Calc II right now in the spring. If you got a good grade in your Calc I class, that may encourage UCLA to take a chance and admit you on the belief that youāll do well in your Calc II class. </p>
<p>I donāt really have a definitive answer for you in regards to whether doing Calc II in spring will hurt your chances. I want to say that it wonāt, but Iām only about 70% certain of that. Iād rather be at least 90%. Oh well. Youāll just have to wait. :(</p>

<p>Nice. Over here, itās about $20 for a mid-shelf strain I believe and $30 for the really good stuff.</p>
<p>It sucks that your shop closed down. I think the federal government will decriminalize weed in the next 5-10 years as public support for marijuana legalization increases. I know that the justice department has promised to leave Colorado and Washington alone and not go after weed smokers in those states. California will definitely legalize weed by 2016 as public support for legalization here is very high. I canāt wait!</p>

<p>No, itās not. I think it only applies to the most impacted majors and even then, theyāll probably just tell you to earn good grades in those last pre-reqs. </p>
<p>Iāve seen a few people get in to Berkeley in various majors with some missing pre-reqs. Since music is not competitive at all at Berkeley, I think youāll get in, especially since Berkeley doesnāt even have specific required pre-reqs for applicants to take. I remember you saying that you have a 4.0. In that case, youāll definitely get in.</p>
<p>None of the UCs mind if you still have classes in your last semester that you have to take to be IGETC-certified. Iām taking an art history class right now and itās the only class Iām taking this semester that I need for IGETC and Iāve been accepted to a couple of UCs already. I donāt think Berkeley will care as long as you complete your last general education classes by the end of Spring.</p>
<p>Iām worried I didnāt explain the amount of hours my ECās take up. ā ā ā ā . I shouldāve elaborated more.</p>
<p>@purplewedding
lol. iām sure we WILL get in UCLA if we combine our app. I donāt have any work experience only some volunteeringā¦ Good luck with Rhetoric tho!</p>
<p>I am getting nervous, especially since I havenāt received anything from them in like 2 months. just pure silence.</p>
<p>āThe calculus course requirements should be met as early as possible.ā</p>
<p>@cayton please kill me.</p>
<p>I am worried i am a com major and my gap is 3.81 but i have had a 4.0 ever semester except my first. I am also the captain of my swim team for 2 years in a row not but i know comm is super difficult to get into</p>
<p>@Caytonā </p>
<p>Thanks! That makes me feel better. I donāt know how you have learned so much about the application process. If your career plans donāt work out, it seems like you could always be a transfer counselor as a backup plan.</p>
<p>:( So nervous. Applied as a chemistry major because I was missing some pre reqs for chemical engineering. Figured itās better to be in the school than not at all haha. I just got my acceptance to UCI chemical engineering though!</p>

<p>I must admit that that does sound discouraging, but take a look at this: <a href=āTragic UCLA provisional contract.. T.T - UC Transfers - College Confidential Forumsā>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/704501-tragic-ucla-provisional-contract-t-t.html</a></p>
<p>This person majored in economics(Similar to your major) and was admitted several years ago. Even then, economics was a highly impacted major at UCLA. He had a 4.0 GPA but he still had some pre-reqs in progress in his spring semester. Itās possible that youāll be admitted like he was and that youāll have a contract telling you to do well in your Calc class. Donāt lose hope!</p>
<p>@music1990ā </p>
<p>Iāve done a lot of reading on old topics in this forum and have talked to my TAP program counselors about these things so I know a thing or two about this stuff.</p>
<p>And yeah, haha, I guess I could be a counselor, but I think Iād need a degree for that and some experience somewhere(other than here, of course :P). I just hope Iām right and you get in to Berkeley. Iām confident that youāll get in.</p>
<p>@cayton several years agoā¦ SEVERAL! like 5 years ago gpa was 3.7 to be admittedā¦</p>
<p>honestly Iāll probably get in.</p>
<p>@Caytonā </p>
<p>What are your career goals, by the way? Are you pre-law? 
</p>
<p>wowā¦wowā¦wowā¦ a 4.0 with 19 units</p>
<p>granted he had TWO prereqs in his spring semester, I have one.</p>
<p>@GreatestTheā </p>
<p>Yes, but I think it can still serve as evidence that completing a pre-req or two in spring wonāt result in your rejection.</p>
<p>I guess itāll be prudent to just wait until tomorrow or Saturday or whenever decisions are released. I swear that if I see that you get accepted, Iāll send you a PM saying āTold you youād get in.ā :D</p>
<p>@music1990ā </p>
<p>Music is in the Arts and Humanities Division at Berkeley, which has a high acceptance rate. I hope that is comforting.</p>
<p>Damn, that is the MOST unfortunate contract I have ever seen. My UCI one just says maintain at least 2.0 which is stupid easy haha. </p>
<p>@Caytonā </p>
<p>Iām sure you need a B.A., but I doubt you need one specifically in ācounselingā. Does that even exist? lol idk. But Iām sure you have other career paths on your mind anyhow. What do you want to be?</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement. Iām pretty confident but thereās still that twinge of doubt. Plus I donāt want to get overly confident, and then be let down if I get rejected. Well Iāll still be let down, but I wouldnāt mind going to UCSD too much either. I would tell you Iām confident you will get into UCLA, but thatās a given that you will be accepted. If you arenāt for some crazy reason, I will spend my summer staging a protest outside of the admissions office.</p>
<p>@GreatestTheā Man I wish I were that confident 
Iām a nervous wreck over here. I just want it to be tomorrow already!</p>
<p>@mochabubble Iām going back and forth between āIām goodā and āIām gonna kill myselfā</p>
<p>@GreatestTheā Haha definitely. I canāt believe I had to go through this once in high school, and now again. So stressful! What I hate most is that USC wonāt even come out till late MAY. Youād think theyād release their decisions around the UCās but no. Theyāre lame like that. </p>
<p>@music1990ā </p>
<p>haha, a protest on my behalf would be greatly appreciated. 
Even though Iām confident Iāll get accepted, anything can happen. ANYTHING. I guess itād be wise of us both to be moderately confident but not too confident that weāll get accepted.</p>
<p>Although I must say that being invited to apply for a Regentās scholarship seems promising even if it doesnāt necessarily mean youāre admitted.</p>
<p>And yeah, believe it or not, counseling degrees exist. Not sure if Iād need one to be a counselor but I bet itād help. EDIT: I have no idea what I want to be. Iāll figure that out soon enough, though. :)</p>
<p>I just hope with all of the chancing on this forum that Iāve done recently that I donāt unnecessarily get so many peopleās hopes up only for many of them to be let down. To be honest, I only say that someone will probably be accepted at Berkeley and/or UCLA(The only two UCs whose admission standards Iām familiar with) if I genuinely believe it. I hope my instincts are right for their sake and for mine.</p>
