<p>Today I got admitted to UCLA and UC Berkeley under L&S but for Cal it was only for Spring 2008. This means Ill have to attend berkeley extension or something for a semester.</p>
<p>I'm trying to decide here...Planning to major in engineering (industrial or bio) </p>
<p>What is spring admit all about?
Is it worth passing up Berkeley and going to UCLA just bc of a semester?</p>
<p>I need counseling!</p>

<p>One of my friends chose UCLA Fall over Cal Spring. UCLA was just a better fit for her anyway.</p>
<p>I am doing the same thing that Dranakin's friend did.
I was torn as well..but then realized that UCLA is amazing, and I don't want to deal with the lame extension program.</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me, about being accepted for UCLA but Cal Spring 2008 but look at it this way: it's only 1 semester; if you work hard, you'll graduate on time. The admission page (where you find out if you got accepted or not) has a video on the Spring 2008 freshmen you should watch. By no means is it "second best". If Cal is your dream school, you'd wait.</p>
<p>I read on their website about the FPF program requirements....There is a minimum 2.0 GPA requirement in order to enroll for the fall. Does this mean that, with the heavy curving at Cal, if you dont get those grades, you dont get to continue @ berkeley?</p>
<p>Isn't that almost like gambling then? Isnt there the possibility that your grades don't quite make it, then you have no choice but to try to transfer to another school....and the other school probably isnt going to cut you any slack on those bad grades simply because you came from cal?</p>
<p>How many kids don't make it to the spring semester ?</p>
