<p>ya they could tell you anything just to get you off the phone. somebody else said they called and was told it was because they didn’t do 1 class that was a prereq. a little hard to believe considering it wasn’t engineering.</p>
<p>do you think i could appeal to them by telling them a story about being arrested and how that changed my life? or is that a bad idea…wondering since that WAS a big factor to why i suddenly want to become successful in life etc and i didnt mention it in my application for obvious reasons =/</p>
<p>depends on what the arrest was for…lol</p>
<p>mashiimaro… if that is hwat challenged u to turn ur life for the better, then its worth mentionning. maybe you should even add a bit about your goals and plans. i’ve done that. the stronger u make urself sound, the stronger they will think u are. </p>
<p>dont make it sound like ur dying to go there, make it sound like they really should accept u.</p>
<p>lol i was caught for stealing some stuff for a stupid gang thing i joined…pathetic
but that experience really changed my perspective about life and made me a stronger person
ah i would have been so stoked to go to ucla, since i thought i didnt even have a chance until recently agh~
so i am kinda desperate haha</p>
<p>mashiimaro… if u were in a gang and got arrested, and now have left all tha tbehind. u can right about that =)</p>
<p>caught stealing for a gang…i wouldn’t say
caught stealing food for your starving family…maybe lol</p>
<p>i think its a good point he can make… he can state that he made the wrong choices, and realized the worth of his life, and just wants to turn it around… and holds the strength to do so</p>
<p>something like that?</p>
<p>no i agree with you, but only if he can convince them he is done making those choices. i wouldn’t mention the word gang, i would word it maybe as…the wrong people.</p>
<p>haha i wont mention ‘gang’ then haha
not much of a gang anyway =P
im just hoping those architecture people care that i want to change and stuff</p>
<p>ucla was my safety school and i didn’t get accepted… : /
it’s actually kinda surprising to me. i don’t know why i didn’t get in.
so if i call the office, they can tell me why i didn’t get in?</p>

<p>where are u transferring from? and are u international?</p>
<p>no im from a ccc</p>
<p>thats just weird… u should definately call them.</p>
<p>Durian, Political Science is an impacted major at UCLA…They most likely rejected you because you did not finish the pre-reqs before you sent in your application with the grades. The requirements were relatively short too…</p>
<p>durian & sephora- i’m a political science major and i’m finishing up 2 pre-reqs right now but i have finished igetc by the time i submitted my app, i was accepted with a 3.7 + TAP, as long as you finish the pre-reqs before your last semester you should be good to go
and yeah, that is very weird</p>
