<p>GPA: 3.67 (UW) / 3.82 (UC) / 4.10 (High School) - My UC GPA looks low because the system only gives extra credit for a total of eight honors and AP semesters taken during sophomore and junior years, while I had taken a grand total of 14 semesters.</p>
<p>Class Rank: 30 / 601</p>
<p>SAT I: 710 (M) / 730 (V)</p>
<p>SAT II: 740 Writing / 700 Math IC / 740 US History</p>
<p>AP's: I took European History sophomore year (got a 4 on the test) and took English Language (5), US History (4), Chemistry (4), and Calculus AB (4) during my junior year. This year, I am taking AP Statistics, Biology, Psychology, and English Literature.</p>
<p>Honors Courses: Freshman year, I took Honors Biology and Literature. Sophomore year, I took Honors Chemistry, Pre-Calculus, and World Literature. This year, I am taking Honors American Government, because AP Government was not offered.</p>
<p>EC's: I have been a devoted member of Academic Decathlon, the Computer Club, Chess Club, and the California Scholarship Federation since freshman year. I have been Treasurer, and am now President, for Academic Decathlon and Vice President of Computer Club.</p>
<p>Volunteering: I spent some time this summer at a local convalescent center and created strong relationships with many patients and employees there.</p>
<p>I am also considered low income by UCSD's standards. My parents combined income was just below 41,000 dollars last year.</p>
<p>UCI, waiting for the rest</p>
<p>Chancellor's Scholarship for UCI! WOOHOO!</p>
<p>SAT 1: 770v 710m (1480)
Sat 2s: 760 USH, 710 Math 2c, 710 Writing</p>
<p>Hey, my friends got the Regent's scholarship. What's the difference between that and Chancellor's?</p>
<p>Accepted to UCSC (it was my safety)!!! Couldn't be happier to finally have a school under my belt. Now, If those other damn "prestigious" schools would stop being lazy farkers and send out their letters before april so I could have a chance to visit.</p>
<p>Is anyone else having the problem where you log into the UCI website thingy, and it just goes to a blank white screen? It just doesn't seem to be going through...</p>
<p>^ Yep, same with me. I actually came here hoping someone knew some other link like they did with the SAT scores. :P</p>
<p>ya uci was working earlier, but when i checked again a couple hours later, it died... :(</p>
<p>Wow, everyone seems to be a genius in this thread and every other thread.</p>
<p>IN:
UCSC, UCI</p>
<p>GPA: 3.96nw, 4.19w
SAT1: 1160, 530m, 630v
SAT2: 710 w, 570 m1c, 670 lit
ACT: 28
Etc.: 5 - AP US Hist., honors & ap classes, "great" essays (English teacher made all 3 essays graded assignments and all got As, but as it goes, i am my worst critic)
EC: yearbook - 4 years, layout editor this year; CSF; NHS; Clubs; Volunteer @ Hospital for 4 years; church activities; summer classes @ community colleges; academic awards; honor roll.</p>
<p>Holding out for UCSD, but after meandering a bit around the forums, the light called hope is slowly dimming. Other people's stats were great and their schools offered way more opportunities for advanced courses in contrast with my school, so I was dying a little everytime I saw the good numbers. I also learned from a different forum that UCSD usually sends out their admit/rejects for new frosh in March 21. Oh, I just died there a little again. 19 days seem so far away.</p>
<p>I honestly think UCs (SD in particular) will be the death of me.</p>
<p>That is happening to me too on the UCI Web page !</p>
<p>I just came across this board while I was looking for some information on college admission process (I work in private education industry), and upon spotting a handful of eager, determined, and ambitious youngsters who are waiting for another critical, yet fun stage of their lives, I would like to post a few very practical points on the best way to capitalize on your education at UCLA (or for that matter, any other campuses of UC.)</p>
<p>For your information, I graduated with a BA degree in Business Economics in 2001, so I might be a little biased toward giving more business industry-focused advice.</p>
<ol>
<li>The job search starts as early as your sophomore year!</li>
</ol>
<p>Although you will interview for a full-time, first post-graduate job position in the last quarter of your senior year, you need to plan ahead, as early as two years prior to graduation. The best way to separate yourself from others, hence putting yourself in the best position to garner job offers, is by taking up on a prestigious internship program offered by a variety of fortunate 500 companies, such as Microsoft, IBM, Goldman Sach, and McKinsey. </p>
<p>The student are selected based on GPA, unique characteristics, motivation, and interview. Thus, you need to have a strong GPA (something like 3.5+) to get invited for a final interview call. Once you secure the internship position, you are basically set, as the company will pay you a large amount of money for your services over the summer and the relationship you would get to build with the senior level people at respective companies will certainly pay dividends when you are trying to get a "real" job.</p>
<p>No one gave me this kind of advice when I was studying at UCLA, and had I gotten such advice, I would have had far more opportunities to jumpstart my career, even though I have already received great values in return for my education at UCLA, in terms of job offers, compensation packages, and the prestige level of the company I was once associated with.</p>
<ol>
<li>If you plan to get a job first before you go on to the graduate school, take a lot of math classes.</li>
</ol>
<p>Not only taking higher level math classes, such as Math 32A: Several Variables of Calculus and Statistics, would provide with real-life, practical business acumen, but also taking them would signal to potential recruiters that you are a very bright person with dedication who possess keen COMMON ENSE (read: logical thinking). It's just amazing to see how "normal" people lack such basic common sense when working with each other in real life, but really, really, common sense in the form of fluid logic matters a lot.</p>
<p>And in order to train yourself in this regard and to send positive signal to potential suitors of your professional service, take as many math courses as you can. Trust me. Doing so will give so much benefits of doubt when entering the job market.</p>
<ol>
<li>UCLA stands for "University of Caucasians Lost among Asians".</li>
</ol>
<p>As the name implies, UCLA, for that matter other UC campuses, is such a diverse place, and if you havent been in a situation where every individual around you is with some weird ethnic background, it might be a good idea to join some clubs that would help you gain some various perspectives on life. Remember you are not attending college just to get education, you are going to college in order to prepare for a real world. And boys and girls, the real world is a full of diversity, whether the diversity is nationality, ethnicity, sexual orientation, interests, beliefs, religions, etc.</p>
<p>Knowing how to present yourself and how to carry yourself even in the most awkard situation is what will make you great among your peers.</p>
<p>Talking about presenting yourself, also take some Business Communication courses in which you would be practicing your speech and presentation manner - a huge confidence booster.</p>
<ol>
<li>Take as many writing courses as you can.</li>
</ol>
<p>Similar line of reasoning as the No. 2.</p>
<p>You would be surprised to learn how many people come out of college without even knowing the basic difference between formal business writing and informal writing.</p>
<p>Again, more you practice, better you will be.</p>
<p>From when to 9am is UCI going to notify? anytime between 12.00 and 9.00AM? Or something like 6.00am to 9.00am? Because I'm from Europe, so your midnight is my getting out of class to check my application status thing ;)</p>
