<p>with a 2.96 1 year of 4 year college gpa! Psych! I'm bored, so I thought to myself 'lets post some chances threads.' 3/5 of major pre-req finished after this semester, all A's. History major. Strikingly good looking and smooth talker w/ the ladies, I heard add-comms are all about that?</p>
<p>How bout UCLA? </p>
<p>How about dropping out?</p>
<p>how about writing clearly?</p>
<p>How about being sober when posting on CC?</p>
<p>I think you're fine. I'm switching my major to History as well and I have similar stats as you. Good luck to us!</p>
<p>Sorry I didn't use proper grammer and punctuation cali. My lack of flow and connectors between my sentances was also a disgrace. I hope you and ur fellow english nazi's forgive me</p>
<p>History majors are supposed to be able to write, right? I mean... at least be able to spell "sentence" correctly.</p>
<p>I can't believe you didn't call him out on "grammer" ryan. Also "was" is suppose to be "were," "ur" should be "your," and "nazi's" should be nazis.</p>
<p>i'm not an 'english nazi'</p>
<p>i dont write perfectly but i write so others will understand and not assume i'm a drunken idiot...</p>
<p>ryan and pellman, if ryan is your name, which I would assume it is, then it should be capitalized. Also, ilovecalifornia, "dont" should be "don't." Also, your "i" should be capitalized, along with the "i" in "i'm." Just figured that while we are adhering to a strict spelling and "grammer" policy I should point out these flaws. If anyone else has noticed any spelling, "grammer", or factual errors in other posts it seems to be your duty to point these out and correct them. God forbid everything isn't perfect on the cc forums, for THAT would be a travesty!</p>
<p>"cc" should be "C.C." as it is an abbreviation of a proper noun. Other than that, you're perfect brother.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what you're saying in your post. I'm guessing that you scored a 2.9 your first semesters, and then a 3.83 this semester? What is your cumulative GPA? I can't tell if you receive a 2.96 in your first semester, or your first year. </p>
<p>Anyhow, if your cumulative GPA is close to 3.5, then you'll be fine. For the grade section of your app, the adcom's will see 3 A's, 2 missing courses, and mediocre grades from previous semesters. I should point out that UCLA's TAP students tilts this statistic. TAP student might edge the statistic either edge the statistic higher, or edge it lower. If it raises the "real" avg. GPA of students without TAP, which i'm guessing is your current position, then your going to need to score above a 3.5 to be considered a match. </p>
<p>I'd post more about what I think but i'm not sure what your cumulative transferrable GPA is.</p>
<p>I want to join in the fun. Lax, the forbid in "God forbid everything" needs an s. If the "God forbid" is separate from the "everything..." then you'll need a comma, "God forbid, everything isn't..."</p>
<p>lax whats wrong with u</p>
<p>your HELLA sensitive and strange and HORRIBLE at arguing and writing lol</p>
<p>lol u guys are vicious</p>
<p>But what if God doesn't forbid everything? I still think it is singular. God forbids everything isn't just sounds kinda....weird? I'm still sorry my writing wasn't good enough to pass your "C.C" test cali, I'm working my best at it though. Never again will I post in an altered state on this forum again for I have brought down the wrath of the writing nazi's!</p>
<p>Singular? Your understanding of grammar needs to be overhauled; I don't mean this to be an insult. Read this phrase out loud:
"God forbid everything isn't perfect on the cc forums..." Did you give a quick pause when you finished "God forbid," or did you just read it all in one breath?
If you are trying to say that God is forbidding C.C. forums from being perfect, then you needs to use the s on the forbid because you're talking in present tense. I don't think this is what you're trying to say, that's why I recommend you using a comma in between the "God forbid" and the "everything." "God forbid" is an independent phrase from the rest of the sentence, therefore it needs a comma.</p>
<p>Now about the, "But what if God doesn't forbid everything? I still think it is singular," what are you trying so say? I was utterly confuse about your explanation here. The usage of "forbid" or "forbids" depends one things: the number of the subject that is applying the verb.
Here's the breakdown:
Present tense
1. God forbids...(singular subject)
2. The Gods forbid...(plural subject)</p>
<p>The application of the s has nothing to do with the object, in this case, "everything."
For example:
1. God forbids him from doing it. (singular object)
2. God forbids them from doing it. (plural object)
Verb, as far as I know of, doesn't have singular or plural form; it only has past, present, and future.</p>
<p>Now, to answer your question: Would a 3.83 be enough to get into UCB? Yes, it's enough in term of GPA; however, would you graduate with your grammar? I don't know.</p>
<p>P.S.
ilovecalifornia, lay off the insensitive attack against Lax. One can do much worse when drunk than using incorrect grammar.</p>
<p>Reddune I still don't see how this can be. Say, for example, I said: "God forbid something happens to my family on their trip." Should I instead be saying: "God forbids something happens to my family on their trip"? I'm not talking about God actually forbidding something, rather a term of speech.</p>
<p>In my sober state, I still managed to get a number of typos in my previous post. </p>
<p>"then you needs" shouldn't have the s in "needs"
"I was utterly confuse" should be "confused."
"one things" should be "thing."</p>
<p>I guess the "God forbid..." is like the word "ain't," it's not quite correct english, but it's used so many times and for so long that it's now acceptable in vernacular speech.</p>
<p>i want to major in history too!! what are ucla's pre-requisites for history? the assist.org was a little too confusing. also, is history impacted? are all un-impacted majors have the same difficulty for admission even if their popularities differ?</p>
