<p>quick question, what is the difference between weighted and unweighted gpa?</p>
<p>wieghted would be when they take A-, B+ etc.... example.... B- average is a 2.7. Unwieghted is just a straight A=4, B=3 thing... It might be the other way around though hah.</p>
<p>Has Anyone Completed The Uc Application W/ Essays And Is Ready To Submit?</p>
<p>uh gabe my thread was created before yours</p>
<p>Maybe it's because this thread also encompasses the previous year's applicants...?</p>
<p>ha, wow Kevin.</p>
<p>This thread should die; seriously, it's not helping anyone to be up here--it just confuses.</p>
<p>I partially agree with gabew42. I usually stay away from large topics like these because I feel like I've missed out on everything that's going on and won't understand the last few pages unless I read all previous X amount of pages. Maybe it might be more helpful if everyone stuck to one of the more annual trends (i.e. Fall <em>Year</em> UC Transfer Applicants, etc.).</p>
<p>its fun reading how the applicants from last year reacted! hahaha i hope we get to feel the joy they did. LONG LIVE THIS THREAD! WE'LL DO IT EVERY YEAR!</p>
<p>But, but, can't we just click on "Fall 2004 UC Transfer Applicants" then? :)</p>
<p>hey everyone, we posted a lot of important information on this thread. The only problem is, it is too hard to find info cuz the thread is about 82 pages in length. Anywayz, good luck to this yr's transfer students.</p>
<p>bumped because this is useful X2</p>
<p>*this is a necrobump...old data from 2005</p>
<p>wow, this has been such a long time. Life is just like this, you always have something to worry about. First it's GPA, then it's SAT, then it's grad school, then it's job, with relationship problem interspesed in all those time periods.</p>
<p>hey blackdream</p>
<p>lol im a transfer student for 07 fall, i just read all the post you guys posted in 2005, what school u chose at the end, stanford? or UCB....</p>
<p>these posts are really a great help.</p>
<p>I went to UCB, and I am going to say that I regreted going there because UCB has a social atmosphere pretty hostile to transfers.</p>
<p>Let's just say, if you are single, and you don't live with the other transfers, it can be diffcult to meet potential lovers.</p>
<p>Lol Blackdream</p>
<p>it's a very serious business. O, the countless lonely nights when you sit alone doing things while the girl next door to you is also doing things by herself because you know, too much emphasis has been placed into learning that many of us have forgotten the way to the most important thing that make us human.</p>
<p>There can never be 'too much emphasis' placed on learning, finish your education & let romance come naturally, you have plenty of time for that when your established in your career. That way when and if a relationship gets serious, than you have everything in place to take that extra step. If you don't take full advantage of your experiences of going to a school like CAL you can never get that back later in life.</p>
<p>Some of us have it easier with romance, regardless of the campus. Some have it easier with learning and romance. It's hard to generalize like that.</p>

<p>Are you a female? Because if you are, the chance is that you don't really need to have any skills when it comes to dating since men usually take charge (still true, even in UCB).</p>
<p>However, if you are a male, and you only focus on school, romance WILL not naturally come to you. Romance came after you became a doctor and what not is NOT natural (will she still go for you if you aren't a doctor?)</p>
<p>My point is, social skill is just equally, if not more important than GPA. It's the biggest lesson I learned in college.</p>
