@“jesse’sgirl” Congrats to your son! UCD has a good ChE program. I want to transfer just because I decide to change my major to BME, so UCLA is a better school for me.
Do the reviewers have access to students records , if they attended a Uc school
To those of you who are applying to the Alumni Scholarhsip, how are you guys framing your response to the autobiography question. It says you can answer as if you are writing about your future or current self. Part of me wants to make my response interesting by typing it up as if I have achieved great success in the future, but I also don’t want to come off as cocky. Thoughts?
Hey guys!
I’m transferring from community college.
My GPA: 3.67
My major: Design Media Arts
And I was invited to apply to the alumni transfer scholarship, does that actually mean anything?
Hey y’all, I am currently a junior at UCLA and went through this process last year. I want to make myself a resource for anyone who may need it so feel free to message me. I am currently a Linguistics and Computer science major and all my stats and stuff should be in my post history. I feel and understand all of the anxiety that is probably on your mind right now but just remember that you have worked so hard regardless of the outcome of these admission decisions and they do not determine your worth. I’m rooting for all of you!
Hey! I think something that’s one a lot of our minds is the Alumni Scholarship! I was wondering, does everybody get invited to apply to it?
Yeah so I was looking at that and searched through my email a lot to see if I can find something like it, and I’m not sure I ever actually received that so I couldn’t really say. I will say though that with every wave of applications, there are a couple of weird glitches/emails that become a proxy that applicants use because they want to clutch on to any indicator of a decision, and really chasing these things will just run your anxiety up the wall. Its easier said then done but I would not take any of those things that come up too heavily.
@mpineda3247 Thank you!
hey everyone! for those who are applying to the alumni scholarship, how are you interpreting the autobiography question? are you writing page 165 about yourself in the past or about yourself in the future (as in what you have achieved by whatever point that is in your life)? obviously there is no supplemental information regarding the question so it is up for interpretation, but i was just wondering what you guys are planning for that? thanks so much. really appreciate it. and good luck 
@curiouscat28 I interpreted the question as my future self! I wrote about a particular dream coming true for me!
How outlandish do you guys think we can be in that Alumni biography response? For example, could I write from the far future from the perspective of me being a successful businessman, politician, author, etc. Or should it be a little more grounded than that>
@Warp776 that is what I was thinking of doing, I don’t think anything is really outlandish considering we weren’t really given any further indication?? idk what do you guys think? tbh this is quite hard to put together hahaha (the autobiography)
I agree haha :). I want to write from the perspective of myself in the future, but I feel like if I write about being a successful person, I’ll come off as cocky, which I definitely don’t want. I’m probably just overthinking it. I’m just really counting on getting this scholarship. The first essay question is simple enough, the second one is difficult.
I think you guys are overthinking it haha. It says to write about your current or future self, and if your goal is to be successful in the future then write about what you want to accomplish! Regardless of how ambitious it is, it is still a goal.
Yeah i think what you’re saying is fair. At this point i’m just going to speak from my heart lol and go with what i’m envisioning. sorry for so many questions and this might be dumb but you guys are writing from first or third person? lmao
I think they’re wanting us to write it in first person. I started off writing it in third person, but the prompt says autobiography, not biography. I would go with that.
for sure, thank you. makes sense
Yes, what @Warp776 said. I took it as writing it in first person. Don’t overthink it! Just write in the style that makes you most comfortable! Good writing is good writing and they will see that, regardless of the POV 
I also received the transfer scholarship email, and am currently filing out the general application, but I don’t understand what they mean by " Supplemental Questions: You’ve just written a 200 page autobiography. Send us page 165" LIKE???.. LOL. Can someone explain?
Make up something about yourself (or something that actually happened) that might appear in your autobiography.
