What if you don't get in?

<p>No, no. You always could transfer (if you're going to be a freshmen) or apply for grad school. Don't give up hope yet.</p>

<p>Lol...transferring is out of the question but UCLA med school will always be an option lol.</p>

<p>You can do pre-med anywhere really. But all of the UCs I applied to have attached medical schools. This way where I am I can try to get some action at any of the UC medical facilities ... volunteering, lab research etc.</p>

<p>JC, if you don't get in, and your parents are that into UCLA, they will probably disown you and adopt a new son under the UCLA Adopt a Freshman Foundation. :P</p>

<p>That's cruel exilo. :p</p>

<p>That's Berkeley have a medical center?</p>

<p>Yeah, my parents love UCLA and want me to go there really badly, but they also like other colleges too...such as Stanford, Dartmouth, CAL, and UCSD. Lol, plus I have 3 younger siblings that they can love more if I don't get in. ha ha. I'll be the reject of the family.</p>

<p>Berkeley has no medical center.</p>

<p>JC, I am sure you will make mama and papa proud no matter what.</p>

<p>JCOliver: Is UCLA where you want to be though? Or just where your parents want you to be.</p>

<p>I want to go to UCLA!!!!! I love the campus, sports teams, and atmosphere. It's where I want to be. By the way, I wouldn't mind staying up north because I'm getting an internship with the anesthesiology department at UCSF this summer, and it would be cool to continue that in college.</p>

<p>Oh, good. I know some people who went to the university their parents wanted them to go and they were miserable.</p>

<p>Yup, UCLA is awesome. I'm hoping I get in; if I don't, I'll be sad. :(</p>

<p>If I don't get into UCLA, I will FREAK.</p>

<p>Since I already know I'm going to be rejected by Berkeley, my last hope at a upper-tier school is UCLA. If I don't get in, my life will as of then be over. </p>

<p>May the lord have mercy upon my soul.</p>

<p>flopsy~ uc merced</p>

<p>ah thats awesome JCO - how did you go about finding/getting that internship?</p>

<p>UCLA won't be the same without me. :P</p>

<p>just a side note: I had a friend who didn't get into UCB, UCLA, nor UCSD, but she did get into Cornell and is happily attending.</p>

<p>And if she is a Cali resident, she is happily paying 5-6 times what it cost for UCB, UCLA or UCSD. ;)</p>

<p>She happens to be one. So that sucks for her.</p>

<p>sunkist184, did your friend apply cornell early?</p>

<p>i do note that some people i know, could get into ivies ED/EA, but might not necessarily make it into berkeley or ucla. but that's quite an anomaly if your friend got into cornell but not ucsd.</p>

<p>no she didn't</p>

<p>I think a monkey decides admissions for UCs; seriously, you cannot predict at all.</p>

<p>Uh oh, EG you are getting pessimistic bud, hang in there. ;)</p>
