That depends on two factors. The most important factor is how close you are to completing your degree requirements (i.e. if you need that course to graduate this coming quarter, then you'll get into the class for sure). The second factor is how many slots are already allocated in the class itself -- if you're waiting for a 120-person class, your odds are good; a 30-person class, not so much. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
<p>Smallberg's 2nd lecture is like ?!?!?! 2D = 26 / 0! I want in =[.
Yeah, I've seen that before. That means that the section is a temporary placeholder for a "limbo" discussion section that hasn't found a time-slot or TA yet. I can't believe CS 31 is completely full already. What gives? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I jut got an email that there is a mechanical and aerospace engineering undergrad orientation on sept 24. Is this just for me or for my parents also, and is it useful?</p>
<p>anyone know why rogawski's Math 32a class is using Rogawksi's "Single Variable Calculus" textbook?</p>
<p>Same reason why Steve Jobs uses Apple products, not Microsoft.</p>
<p>It's for fun, so you have to buy his book which you'll use once, and not have any solution guides to. Yay? I think so.</p>
<p>But isnt 32A a multivariate calculus course? That's what I'm confused about.</p>
<p>
So Prof. Rogawski can accrue more royalties from his book? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>hello there, so i will b applying to UCLA(my dream school) this november as a transfer student in aerospace engineering
As it gets closer i get more nervous about what the outcome will be. i would like to see what u guys think of my chances by giving my stats
- as of summer 07 i have 52 trans units( will have about 70 units when im done)
- average of 12-14 units / semester
- permamently had a job in a restaurant(25-30 hrs a week)
- GPA as of summer is 3.65( aced everything except C in phys mechanics, B in english 1b, and B in multiv calc
- great chances of getting a 4.0 this fall, and my gpa would go to about
3.70 -3.72
- already taken 2 GEs
-im also joining the men's soccer team at my school to play intercollegiate so i hope this gives me more chances
-some people have told me that since im from south america, i represe
nt a minority which being a plus
-i came to the US with my parents when i was 13
- lastly 2 show u where im at as far as curriculum goes. this fall im taking
third semester phys(light and heat)
chem 1a
linear algebra</p>
<h2>& 3 units from soccer</h2>
<p>i would greatly appreciate those who will take time to give me some feedback and/or advices as far as my chances of getting into UCLA aerospace engineering </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>How far are you into completing your major lower div courses? I think your almost done seeing that you are taking linear algebra and most likely the last course in physics. Aero needs 2nd course in chemistry as well, which alot of people don't know until after they have applied. But i've met a couple of transfers that haven't taken the 2nd course in chem yet. </p>
<p>The only problem I see is that you have taken only 2 GE courses, which might be bad. Most transfers finish mostly all the GE's before transferring. I personally wouldn't want to take all those GE's at a UC when I could have finished them at a CC for a cheaper price. I've met a few transfers that usually just had 1-2 GE's to finish up.</p>
<p>I would say you have a chance to get in because of GPA, major lower division work almost done and the fact that you are applying for winter quarter.</p>

I'm not wondering why Rogawski is using his own book. I'm just confused why the textbook is called "single variable calculus" when the class (math 32a) is a multivariate course.</p>
<p>i think u got me wrong. im applying for fall 08, not winter. also, im planning on taking chem 1b but that would be in the spring of this coming academic year. i still have to take diff eq and that would also be in the spring. and yeah this will be my last physics which im very happy about. i didnt know that transfer students were required to take a lot of GEs. i was always told that 2 or 3 were recommended because of all the load in math and science in lower division courses. whats the average number of ges that transfer take before they transfer. i dont think a lot of them finish IGETC do they? and last i was planning on taking a statics class which im pretty sure all engineers have to take, will that look better in my application?</p>
<p>I remember somewhere in the assist.org site that it said the engineering dept strongly discourage the use of IGETC. This is why I never followed the IGETC thing when I was in CC. I think engineers need to take 7 GE's each from different categories like humanities, life science and etc. Most transfers finish the GE before they transfer. There are a few that have like 1 or 2 to finish up once they enter UCLA. I had life science GE to finish up. You can check out UCLAs engineering website for more info on coursework.

this is the current curriculum, and it might change slightly for 08.</p>
<p>Statics? The problem is that it is not equivalent to UCLAs statics course(MAE101). Here at UCLA, statics (MAE101) is called statics and strength of materials. They lumped 2 subjects together. Similar to what the civil dept does (CE101) statics and Dynamics. I took statics at a cc too, but i didn't get credit for MAE 101, so had to take that course. The school labeled my CC statics units as "excess units."</p>
<p>You might get credit for statics for a different UC. I don't think all UC's lump statics together with another subject. I know Irvine just offers statics as a single course.</p>
<p>You don't really have to take an engineering course at a CC, but it does look better on your application. On the other hand, I have met several transfers that have never taken an engineering course at a CC.</p>
<p>Hey zeroc123, I am wondering about the beginning MAE classes.</p>
<p>How are the difficulty of MAE 101, 102, 103, 105A? As compared to the major prerequirements (1A, 1B, 1C, 20BL, etc.)</p>
<p>I did my lower division work at a CC, so I can't say much about the lower div stuff here. Comparing those courses to my cc courses, then I would say it was much more difficult. Rating those courses you listed in terms of difficulty:
103,102,105a,101 from hardest to easiest. Here's some advice, take 103 and 101 this fall. The instructor for 103 is Prof. Bahadori this fall, so that course shouldn't be too bad. The downside is that you're screwed if Kelvin is the TA. I already mentioned something about 103 and the TA in the thread a few weeks ago. Also you'll need to take 101 at the same time, because you will use some statics techniques a little later. You can also take 105a as well since there is some overlap in material with 103 later in the course.</p>
<p>How hard is Chem 153A. I want to know how many times I'm gonna die that quarter.. =]</p>
<p>Odd question, but where is the turnitin source for 4BL? Moldau .. flopsy?</p>
<p>I didn't know Physics 4BL used TurnItIn. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>depends on ta.</p>
<p>mecklenburg doesn't, gittings does.</p>
<p>hey guys im taking whitten for physics 1C any1 know how his class is? and how to do well on his tests? thanks</p>
