UC Application Question thread. Anything about the UC application

<p>^ I’m applying as a Freshman.</p>

<p>I see. Well, I’m not sure – but I would assume that you can put “Planned: November 2009” since the results will not be out until later.</p>

<p>Man my essays suck. I hate writing about myself :(</p>

Okay, thanks. Hopefully that’s the right way to do it, i don’t want the adcoms getting anal about this -_-</p>

<p>ok, thanks snooks86!</p>

<p>You’re welcome, Pokerawr. Good luck!</p>

<p>What’s the difference between a WI and a WF grade on the UC app? What do they mean?</p>

<p>Prior to transfer, will you have satisfied the Entry-Level Writing Requirement?</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>nevermind</p>

<p>Is 530 + 279 = 809 word count okay for the essays? Or does that seem too little?</p>

<p>Does anyone know how the teacher/councilor recommendation letters works for the UC app? what I mean is, on the common app, you enter your teachers’ names and put in their email address, and it sends them something. what do you do on the UC app?</p>

<p>I dont think the UC applications require a teacher/counselor recommendation letters.</p>

<p>I have one more question, I just stared my application recently, and it is a bit confusing. Especially since im intercampus so some of the things do not apply to me. When I have to put down classes for spring 11 and winter, what do I put since I have no idea what classes ima be taking??? bc if i leave it blank, it makes me state why i wont.
OH YEAH and it asks me when I stopped going to UCR… what do I put 6/11 (assuming I get in?)</p>

<p>also, Im going to be done with all my pre reqs and GE’s by spring so what classes should I take?
should I just take 3 or 4 random ones?
thanks so much!</p>

<p>So I already submit my application and I applied as a business economics major and math economics major as my alternate major. I’m finishing calculus 2 by spring for my business economics major but I will not have calculus 3 by spring for the math economics major…by putting calculus 3 as a class that I will take during the summer effect my chances at the business economics major eventhough it’s not part of the major requirements?</p>

<p>I have a few questions: </p>

<p>1) My dad is a gas station owner…so, when they ask for job title, do I just put “owner”? And, he used to own another store in Atlanta, before he decided to move to Alabama. In the previous job title, do I list that down?..he has been an owner for a while now, but before that he used to be a manager in a store - [so do I list that down in the previous job title space instead of the other previous job]? </p>

<p>2) My parents are divorced. In the 2nd guardian, do I list her name down, or my step-mother’s? My mom and dad are planning to join together to pay for my tuition. My step-mom’s not paying, but I live with my dad and her - [Basically what im trying to ask, is do I list down the two guardians who are going to pay, or the guardians who live in my household?]</p>

<p>3) I want to apply to UCD. But, my dad’s making me send an application to UCB [I KNO im nevaar gonna get in…atleast not for undergrad. lol] so, would applying to UCB affect my chances at UCD (bc i heard…or read that UCD is going through the “Tuft’s Syndrome” and they’d reject anyone who meets their qualifications bc UCD may just be a safety school for those students…would UCD have any way of finding out that im applying to UCB? UCD is, and has been, my first choice. I don’t want them to think it’s a safety school for me [even tho I kno im waaaay under-qualified for UCB]…</p>

<p>What is the college’s grading system?</p>

<p>*Select A B C D F if your school uses +/- letter grades.</p>

<p>if my school uses strictly ABCDF grades instead of A+A-B- etc, what do i do? I thought selecting the option that has ABCDF would be the most logical to use…but it says use it if the school uses +/- grades?? what do i do guys? thanks in advance</p>

<p>Question about English writing requirement, if one is complete and the other is planned for Spring. Which choice you pick complete or planned? If pick one of them all show up as completed or planned</p>

<p>@Movingunit it answered it for you. And you repeated the answer. Just pick it</p>

<p>@ deadsupra, thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>i was confused because it said click on ABCD if your school uses +/- which my school does not. But anyway…I still pick it right? I guess i’m understanding it wrong…</p>

<p>for igetc, if i finish it during the summer am i still good?</p>

<p>^ it depends on the school. No for berkeley, and I think you can for UCLA but I’m not sure</p>
