<p>yeah, when my friend in LS1 heard this from the teacher about the 700 students who apply from UCLA, he was like: "that's it? I thought there would be more."</p>

<p>yeah... except they see their <2.9 GPA and they're like nevermind. apparently half of south campus has a GPA lower than 2.9 since that's about the average for science majors... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>how come there's so few @ USC?</p>

7

<p>cause usc suc!</p>

8

<p>I'm just waiting for an overzealous trojan to come reply with "fUCLA! HAHA!"</p>

9

<p>that trojan would be a loser because why would they be in a ucla thread? obviously, the attraction toward ucla is so strong that it is inherent in every trojan's soul. hahahha</p>

10

<p>exactly because they know that Trojans are good once but a Bruin is forever.</p>

11

<p>i have a feeling that i'll be hearing that ^ a lot :)</p>

12

<p>you most certainly will.......i dont even know what the point of that saying is, unless its referring to a condom.</p>

13

<p>many trojans say: youre a bruin for 6 years and a trojan for life (because supposedly all ucla students graduate in 6 years which is bs)</p>

14

<p>theirs is just stupid :rolleyes:</p>

15

<p>With all this being said, that reminds me.</p>

<p>MCAT WEEKEND!!!!</p>

<p>Seriously all my premed friends are freaking out at this.</p>

16

<p>18% of incoming freshman say they are premed. extraordinary dont you think? too bad only a couple will go on to med school.</p>

17

<p>


By that logic, USC students never graduate... since they'd have to be in college for life. :rolleyes:</p>

18

<p>jason, more than that.</p>

<p>at orientation, everyone and their mother were premed</p>

<p>or so it seemed like it :rolleyes:</p>

19

<p>EVERYONE is premed at some point. i was probably in 10th/11th grade even though i have no interest in math or science. it sounds good to the elders.</p>

20

<p>^ hahah...how true is that</p>
