<p>slacker!!! we want our countdown haha</p>
<p>quick question: if you end up one class shy of finishing IGETC before transferring, will that jeopardize your admission?</p>

<p>Depends, but likely.</p>
<p>Anyone heard from UCLA yet?</p>
<p>What do you mean Gabe?</p>
<p>Any kind of recognition for having applied there...</p>
<p>not I gabe. UCLA is the only one that hasn't sent me an e-mail or letter.</p>
<p>UCLA and UCB (79 Days to go)...</p>
<p>UCSB and UCSD (32 days to go)...</p>
<p>I think Imma start a countdown for UCR's decision date when it gets even closer to March 1st. =]</p>
<p>Cardinal do all of them!!!</p>
<p>hahaha, but don't most of the UCs have rolling admissions from a certain date onward...I think Imma get the s*** beat outta me by my fellow CCers when the dates I advertise tend to be grossly inaccurate ahaha. At least my UCR one will be dead-on, as it opens up 12:01 am on March 1st...</p>
<p>Hey did anyone that applied to UCLA and/or UCB apply to USC? The USC site says that they notify of admissions by June 1st...this could be a problem since that's the date you need to notify public schools your intent to enroll...Also, does anyone know if USC is easier to get in to than UCLA and UCB for transfers? My honors counselor seems banked on me going to USC for some reason, but he's never really said that I have a shot at UCLA. lol.</p>
<p>USC should be easier. And they notify everyoen by June 1st, they notify some people earlier.</p>
<p>Kylefc, if you're in the honors program, and you were certified, then you have >90% chance. My honors program director says she wouldn't worry since she's seen all of her honors students get into UCLA [with the exceptions of the dishonest].</p>
<p>what jobs are you looking for cardinal?</p>
<p>I'm just trying to get another tutoring job or working at a cellphone place. I work at my schools tutoring lab now but they don't give me enough hours. Oh Calgirl btw, have you seen this thread?</p>
<p>About the top nine reasons not to attend UC Berkeley? I was just wondering what you thought about the OPs reasons. This thread also bashes the transfer pool into Cal like crazzzy.</p>
<p>I've been trying to convinve them that transfers are just as intelligent as incomming freshmen at cal in that thread for ahwile now Card. Doesn't seem to be working tho. Oh well, no biggie.</p>
<p>WillDo,</p>
<p>Surprisingly, I kind of agree with some of their points regarding the transfer pool. I think they adcoms judge the transfer pool by a less stringent set of criteria. For instance, their is no way I would have been able to make it to UCLA/Cal as an incoming freshmen. Most highschoolers coming into these top two UCs had to take precalculus and calculus, a feat I could never imagine myself doing (I am quite mathematically challenged). At the JC level, I able to completely avoid such courses, in fact, the highest math I had to take to complete IGETC was statistics, a course generally regarded as a piece of cake. Point being, I think its easier to avoid the tough classes at the community college level versus in high school. </p>
<p>Also, the highschoolers have no program they could complete that would give them a ninety percent chance into UCLA and a great shot into Cal. We as transfers have our community college's respective honors program. I think this gives us a added cushion or boost that highschoolers just don't have. The only way highschoolers can ever achieve a ninety percent chance into UCLA and a solid chance into Cal is by like having a 4.5 weighted, SATs and SAT IIs high above the mean, steller extracurriculars and leadership and decent volunteering, and strong essays. And in my opinion, being a extremely well rounded student is much much harder than completing a flimsy honors program. Please don't hate me for my last point (it may just be my CC's honors program that is not up to par in terms of challenge and rigor)...</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>i think the SAT's should be required for transfers to standardize the process.</p>
<p>I think you value the cc honors program too much, cardinal. It doesn't make that much of a difference.</p>
<p>Secondly, statistics is not considered to be a "piece of cake" by everyone. I was told by many fellow community college students to avoid it because it is too difficult. </p>
<p>And many, many transfers have to go through very difficult math (and science) courses at their respective community colleges (obviously depending on their major and college they are transferring into).</p>
<p>I think this is a dead discussion. The numbers speak for themselves. Transfer students do just as good as students who enter as freshmen and continue into their junior year within the UC system.</p>
<p>And the last thing we need are the SAT's. The fact they aren't included in the UC transfer process is one of its many important advantages.</p>
