<p>(DISCLAIMER) For B.A. not B.S. This is NOT a "chance me". Info on any school is appreciated. </p>

<p>Who has the best program? What's the department like? Course structure, course flexability, peers, etc. etc.. Current students are more than welcome to shed some light on this topic. Prospective students as well. Also, are there any special requirements for these schools? (Such as taking a foreign language even if you completed it with IGETC). </p>

<p>I'm not leaning towards any school at the moment, and would be more than happy to attend any of these three. Although I'm an Anthropology major, I have no intention of entering the field. I'm planning on going to LS, so, GPA is a huge factor to me. I've been drilling and testing for the LSAT for over two years now and have already surpassed my target score. Big factors to me are class rigor, semester vs. quarter system, campus life and the actual city itself (rent, lifestyle, weather...) </p>

<p>-I'm 22
-3.85 GPA
-Planning on living off-campus with my SO and our dog.
-Want to graduate in 2 years or less</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any insight on these schools</p>

<p>Approval rating by Anthro students at UCLA is high.</p>

<p>Staff in Haines Hall is helpful.
750 students in the major.
A fair amount of class options (look up schedules and compare).
I met many 4.0 students in my classes, I was closer to a 3, but I worked full time and also had a very demanding social life :smiley:
The classes are far from easy, but if you work hard a high GPA is possible.</p>

<p>Looking back, I wouldn’t change my experience as an Anthro major. I loved every class and the Anthro dept at UCLA will always be special to me.</p>
