</p>
<p>47 days sounds so much better than 1.5 months.</p>
<p>actually, they both sound really bad. Does anybody know if the decisions for Cal and UCLA are all out the same day or are they rolling like UCI and UCR?</p>
<p>We are like 9 posts away from surpassing last years thread post count. We are sad.lol</p>
<p>wow, didn't even realize that sandkicks.</p>
<p>In that case, we should be at double their post count by the time UCLA/Cal decisions come out...I feel honored to be a part of CC history...</p>

<p>I think what she meant was that they do the research on you. While on my tour at UCLA, they mentioned that there is money to be made being a research participant. They told us a story of this guy who was told to look at red dot through like a microscope object. After about two hours this guy had enough and ran into the researchers office to tell him. He was handed a check and told they just wanted to see how long he would sit there staring at the red dot. hahahahaha. mean.
Sandkicks is offline </p>
<p>damnnnnnnnnnn how much did he get paid???</p>
<p>yeah, sandkicks is right, i was talking about being a research participant/subject. since i didn't want to work this semester again, this has been a good way to make side money to put aside in the bank/spend.</p>
<p>The UCLA acceptance letter comes in the same small and ordinary envelope as the rejection letter. This sucks because you actually have to go through the agonizing few moments it takes to extricate the letter from the envelope, read the first few sentences and be able discern all that it entails before you find out whether or not you've gotten in. I have recently come across an article in the Daily Bruin calling for UCLA's admissions staff to give acceptance letters a "face lift", in order to bolster marketing appeal to students who are still on the fence about which school they wish to attend. The article is here:<a href="http://www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/articles.asp?id=34595%5B/url%5D">www.dailybruin.ucla.edu/news/articles.asp?id=34595</a>
Talk about screwing with your mind. They probably have graduate students in their psych. department watching us right now, gauging our reponses, judging, waiting to see how we'll react to their beguiling admissions letters. Those filthy bastards!</p>
<p>Wow, welcome back PiratesLife...</p>
<p>ahaha. I remember way back when you and IwannaIvy used to get in like fights on every thread. Sall good though, yeah the psych department is prolly monitoring this website as we speak :X</p>
<p>yeah, I wonder what ever happened to Iwannagiveabj. He was a pretty good chew toy.</p>
<p>Pirateslife, as I recall, you mentioned something about intercampus having priority....</p>
<p>I said they would more than likely have priority. I still stand by what was previously stated. If two students with the same gpa and same qualifications both apply as transfer students to let's say berkeley, and one goes to UCSD while the other attends a ccc, the UCSD student will receive priority.
Granted, no where in the rule books does it say this. But I guarantee this is what will happen.</p>
<p>In any case, I made that claim in response to a question someone had as to whether or not it was harder to transfer from UC to UC than it was from CCC to UC. My response to that was no. It would be the same, if not easier, for a UC student to transfer to a more prestigious UC campus. I remain steadfast in that assertion. Unless, of course, you have irrefutable data to disprove it?</p>

<p>Well, are you assuming a 4.0 at CCC = 4.0 at ucla?</p>
<p>A pirate's life is not for me.</p>
<p>No, a 4.0 at UCLA is > a 4.0 at CCC. This is why a UC to UC transfer student might receive priority over a CCC student.
What makes you think you could ever be a pirate in the first place? Please.</p>
<p>2nd paragraph</p>
<p>"While UC gives California community college students first priority over other transfer applicants, the University also accepts those from four-year institutions. In addition, it's possible to transfer from one UC campus to another." </p>
<p><a href="http://www.ucop.edu/news/studstaff.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.ucop.edu/news/studstaff.html</a></p>
<p>I think the big reason for this is UC transfers (and other 4 year transfers) will still have the opportunity (regardless of whether they get denied) to get a 4 year education whereas CCCers will not.</p>
<p>i think they are treated equally. </p>
<p>Who cares though. Very few of uc students transfer.</p>

<p>like i said, a pirate's life is not for me... </p>
<p>i sport LA btw...</p>
<p>CCC transfers get priority over UC transfers when transferring to UCs and CalStates. That's the whole reason they made up IGETC, TAP, TAA, TAG, etc.</p>
<p>when do u guys get spring break?</p>
<p>I have it like april 9 to 16 or something like that....</p>
<p>mine is the week after next week. hallelujah! what is everyone doing for Spr. Br?</p>
<p>another thing i hate about my cc other than the winter intersession is that the time of spring break differs from all the uc... Which means i can't hang out w/ my friends from uc as much as i wanted to...</p>
<p>What will i do? Proly not much lol. hopefully sleep, go to the gym finally, catch up on some HW?, volunteer some... </p>
<p>how about u, cal girl?</p>
