<p>Management 1A. I'm assuming that is financial accounting. How would you rate the difficulty of the course? I'm planning to pull a 17 unit spring semester to get rid of a recommended course "Managerial Accounting" or MGMT 1B. I'm hoping that by taking the course at a CCC that it will be easier than taking it at UCLA.</p>
<p>But after taking financial accounting at my school, I was almost shot about doing anything with accounting because, in my honest opinion, the teacher was drunk or something half of the time or was suffering from alzheimer's.</p>
<p>Current stats:
Transfer from CCC
Tap certified at the end of spring
After fall update 3.85 gpa (uc transferrable courses)
At the time of application 3.81 gpa (uc transferrable courses)
Business Econ major
4/5 premajor reqs completed at the time of app (micro/macro econ, honors engl crit thinking, calc 1 - all A's)
5/5 premajor reqs comp. by spring (honors calc 2)
1/2 rec. premajor comp. at the time of app (financial accounting - B =*( )
2/2 rec. premajor comp. by end of spring (honors managerial accounting)
IGETC cert: end of spring
Transferring with 66 semester units or 99 quarter units
ECs: self employed, own a few small businesses
personal circumstances: diagnoised with ADD, former high school dropout.</p>
<p>Well, I don't live on campus so it's not as distracting. I'm lucky as a north campus major that I can schedule my classes on 2-3 days a week (next quarter, I only have class Mon/Wed), so I'm free to work/do ECs the rest of the time. I'm looking to get another job as a research assistant that combines my academic interests as well as boosting my income. I work at a restaurant, so I'm able to work a lot of nights and weekends, and don't have my car, so I'm not tempted to squander time and drive to random places anymore. </p>
<p>My ECs are a huge time commitment though- I play for the UCLA Ultimate Frisbee team and we practice three times a week, Mon/Thurs/Fri, as well as conditioning for another one-two days a week. We also play in tournaments on the weekends that sometimes requires traveling out of town. Are you involved in any ECs?</p>
<p>thats why youre probably not a good friend :)
this is a q/a thread, and i believe my questions are valid</p>
<p>UCLA is the only one that gives out transfer stats for each major that ive seen. all the other campuses give average gpa for the applicants of each quarter</p>
<p>obviously you dont know or claim to know which is why im not asking you</p>
<p>To JPNguyen:
You are definitely a match for UCLA!
In your essay, you should mention speciffically either your ECs "self employed, own a few small businesses or personal circumstances: diagnoised with ADD." </p>
<p>Another big tip for all transfers:
When you write your essay, please do NOT list a bunch of ECs, awards... because it will become like numbers without any feeling. </p>
<p>Instead of doing that, you should FOCUS on one particular event (ECs) or one particular talent or one particular personal hardship that you have and write about it specifically with FEELINGs. Besides, be yourself and be honest, too!</p>
<p>To jasonp:
For electrical engineering, the average admits' GPA in most UCs seem to be higher than many other majors because engineering is a very competitive major. For instance, the average admits GPA at UCLA is about 3.75 but i'm not sure about other schools so I can not give you an accurate answers for it; may be googleing or searching the school website would be a good thing to do. However, for UCB, i believe the average GPA should be around 3.8. For UCSD, UCI, UCSB, I personally think average admit GPA should be in the range of 3.0-3.4.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, your GPA is low but don't be discouraged by that. There are MANY other factors that will be considered in the admission. Besides, you haven't told me any of your ECs, awards, special talent, special personal circumstances...</p>

<p>To bfired2:
Thank you for sharing your story, again!</p>
<p>I am currently not involved in any club or organization in school this quarter because I'm not very familiar with the school itself yet and particularly I have to adapt to the school academically first. </p>
<p>Besides, I have been researching some topics in my own free time. </p>
<p>I have been studying Taoism for like two years; I have been reading many short+long articles especially Derek Lin's insightful articles from <a href="http://www.taoism.net%5B/url%5D">www.taoism.net</a> , bought some Tao Te Ching books. I find a great interest in Lao Tzu philosophy. Also, I'm studying psychology and right now i'm researching about self-hypnosis.
Note: I'm not psychology or philosophy major! :)</p>
<p>posted this question in the UC thread but no replies, maybe you'll remember: </p>
<p>when we update the transfer application, for QUARTER systems, do we JUST update our fall grades and our coursework for winter quarter? or do we also have to include coursework for SPRING quarter, even though the official course schedule hasn't come out yet?</p>
<p>You will update the Fall grades and also include the course work for Spring quarter and may be summer if you plans to take classes in summer.
This might be a difficulty for some students if they haven't actually registered for the Spring courses yet or even when they have registered, they will not be sure if the course(s) will be dropped or not. </p>
<p>Particularly, I was having this trouble last year because I include differential equation in Spring but when I was taking it, I planned to drop because it was so difficult (only 8 people stayed, about 22 dropped) so I askes many counselors and representatives from UCs and they suggested me not to drop. Therefore, I chose to stay and survived and luckily received an A in that class too. Other two friends in my class were also having the same problem but we finally did it. One is now going to UCLA as I am and another is attending UC Berkeley now.</p>
<p>I've been taking classes at my CC since 02, so on the application I put down that I've been enrolled since Sept 2002 and ending (hopefully) by Jun 2007. But obviously, I've only been full time since Sept 2005. Should I call the UCs about this? Because I checked the application status website (<a href="https://www.ucapplication.net/ucap/%5B/url%5D">https://www.ucapplication.net/ucap/</a>) and it doesn't indicate there that I was concurrently enrolled, thus the extra 3 years. However, I did list it down on the UC application that my time in high school overlaps with these 3 years.</p>
<p>Another important thing to note is that during those 3 years when I was concurrently enrolled, I took an English class that is a prereq for UCLA. Considering the previous paragraph, should I worry about this?</p>
<p>This is not really a big problem. What you should do is to just report what you have truthfully. </p>
<p>In another words, when you answer the question when do you start and end enrolling, just put down 2002 to 2007 as you mentioned above. </p>
<p>Also, there should be a comment box near the end of the UC application where you can explain any special circumstance regarding your application and you definitely want to explain this like concurrently enrolled in high school and community college. </p>
<p>Lastly, the length of your attendance will not affect the admission decision much if there is, only a little.
Everything should be fine, pellman! </p>
<p>man, how many more months is it until we find out? 5?
its going to be the longest 5 months of my life lol.</p>
<p>so I really want to go to UCLA, but Im on the bubble with a 3.3 gpa(poli sci major). on the bright side, I have had a really good upward trend of grades and got a 4.0 this last semester. I will have all my pre-reqs done by spring, and be IGETC certified. Ive had an internship at a political radio station, and I thought I had really good essays. So Im hoping that they will look past my low gpa(which was all because of a bad start at CC during my first semester).</p>
<p>if I dont get into UCLA, Im honestly considering staying a third year at CC, or just taking some more summer classes and applying for the winter quarter of next year.</p>
