<p>I'm not really clear about person B. Because she's not someone I know directly. She's my friend's sister. But I am assumming she wrote an awesome personal statement, and finished all or most of her required classes.</p>
<p>Person A went to Pasadena City College.
And Person B went to Rio Hondo College.</p>
<p>the thing that also made me go "wow", both person A and B are in impacted majors.</p>
<p>So, did Person B get into UCLA in 2004? If so...</p>

<p>This thread gives us some hope!</p>
<p>She's a junior now at UCLA.
She got in at Fall 2005.</p>
<p>I also hear that Governor Arnold was why the UC's admitted more students for Fall 2005. He gave more to the education budget which allowed more seats in the UC's.</p>
<p>Thats what I heard.</p>
<p>really? I'll have to vote for arnold if that's true...</p>
<p>Interesting. If what you say is true about Arnold then I'd have to vote for him. Then again, I highly doubt the other majority (fire fighters, police, teachers) of the population will approve of him running for governor for another term.</p>
<p>he was shoving those propositions down everyone's throats, and none of them passed.</p>
<p>i do know that gov arnold raised ccc tuition by 8 bucks, increased cal state tuiting and uc tutition as well. i think cal state tuition went up 200 percent.</p>
<p>i didn't hear anything about him increasing uc admission for transfers. although one time i heard him endorse ccc and asking students to go to ccc and then transfer.</p>
<p>My friend's gpa was 2.8 something when she applied for UC in 04 fall . Maybe her gpa was a little bit higher after fall 04. She was accepetd by UCLA, UCI, and UCSB. But she's not a science or business major.</p>
<p>but i thought the minimum GPA for consideration at UCLA is 3.2</p>
<p>Yeah, I knew of someone though, who got into Berkeley with a 2.9 GPA as a science major. She had a lot of extra-curriculars.</p>
<p>I dun think my friend had joined a lot extra-curriculars. She applied for both UC and CSU, and she through she would probably go to CSU Fullerton. But now she's in UCLA. It's totally a miracle!</p>
<p>I also heard from my friend that her friend got into UCLA with a gpa of 2.86! And that person's a biology major. She said she wrote about her mom and dad were divorcing in her personal statement.</p>
<p>shirley, are you serious? My were parents divorced too...</p>
<p>I'm not joking, it's true. Her story shocked everybody. My friend was a bio major and his gpa was 3.6, but he was not admitted to UCLA. He was so ****ed off after all :)</p>
<p>you can never know what the admissions office are looking for...</p>
<p>JUST WRITE A KICK ASS ESSAY EVERYONE!! But of course, don't disregard the grades. :)</p>
<p>**My parents were divoced too...</p>
<p>I am so nervous now.</p>
