UC transfer in my first quarter with advice.

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>hi guys.</p>

<p>i'm in my first quarter at ucla and thought i'd share a few thoughts i had on the transfer process.</p>

<p>1) your counselors know much less than you may think.</p>

<p>it's a real pain in the arse, but check course syllabi and compare it to what your major requirements are. i am stuck taking pre-major history (1A) this quarter because my civ class@JC only partially transferred. same with a music enthomology course, which i'm going to be forced to petition for credit.</p>

<p>2) finish up HTP, don't let the loose ends stay loose.</p>

<p>3) don't be intimidated into not applying for a school.</p>

<p>i didn't think i could hang discipline-wise at a UC because of my poor work ethic. there is motivation to get things done here, even for lazy students. you'll change, believe it or not. i shouldn't say jinxing things like this during midterms week...but oh well.</p>

<p>i'm going to be doing a lot of reading tonight, but if anyone has any questions for someone that did the transfer in two years...i'll try and help if i can. i know applications are almost due.</p>

<p>best,</p>

<p>mike</p>

<p>what is your major? and what do you mean by HTP?</p>

<p>are the people there really as stuck up as people have been telling me? how difficult is it to make friends?
how’d you do on your midterms!?! :></p>

<p>sorry for the late reply…i’ve been busy.</p>

<p>people here aren’t really stuck up, it’s just a matter of priorities. everyone has a schedule and is for the most part driven/busy.</p>

<p>you’ll make plenty of friends in your discussions or living situation.</p>

<p>my midterms went alright. an A-, B+, and B-. i have fallen behind for finals however. i’m a history major.</p>
