hey!
I was lucky enough to get accepted to
- UCLA Business Economics
- NYU Stern
- USC Marshall
I was wondering which would be the best option for me? I’m an international student planning to go into Finance.
Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some help because I'm confused???
I'm an admitted transfer student, and suddenly today my financial aid package was revised to suddenly have this fiat lux scholarship???
Isn't this the prestigious scholarship for incoming first years from local high schools??? Did Berkeley missclick? Not only am I a transfer student, I didn't even go to a high school in California so idk why they gave me this
Should I email the financial aid office or call them and ask? Any advice? Anyone who's experienced similar?
Hello. I messed up and failed 3 classes while I was going through an incredibly difficult time in my life during CC. I have gotten all A's since then, but I just calculated and the highest GPA I'll be able to get is a 3.27. I wanted to apply to UCSB but is it even feasible with that kind of GPA? I'm really disappointed in myself because I got hope when I saw my school does academic forgiveness and then realized that UC's don't accept that. If it matters, I'm out of state and majoring in psychology.
Does a pass look bad in an elective that has nothing to do with my major? My other classes are As.
I went into CC after a difficult highschool experience due to health issues. I started bugrudgingly, and went through the motions. When I started getting involved on campus, I realized that CC has something to offer that four years don't. Your classes will be small and intimite, especially in an honros prorgam. CCs, especially in California, have an abundance of opportuites and resources, but few studets who take the time to acess them. If you are starting CC in the fall, go ALL IN and you will have one of the most rewarding experiencies of your life.
I am graduating CC with two internships under my belt, connections in my field, and also connections at my transfer school. I have an accepted academic publication in the works, and am recieving a prestigious award at my college. I got into every UC I applied to WITH regents and chancellors at many.
This is not to brag, I am not a perticularly gifted student. This is to say that if you take advantage of everything your CC has to offer, go to your professor's office hours, apply for on campus opportunities, etc., you WILL find success. Professors are dying for meaningful connections with students: most go to class and leave.
CC has changed my life forever, and I truly believe will be the single most importat choice I made in my academic and professional career.
Got into USC yesterday, and went back to my UCLA portal to take myself out of the running so someone else can have a better chance at getting in, since I’m fully committed to USC. But in my portal it’s all greyed out and I can’t find a withdraw button or option to opt out. The only one I see is the one within the response box but because I already submitted it and the deadline passed I’m no longer able to click it. Please help if you know how!
pls tell me your stories about 1 year cc to uc
when do yall think is the earliest they're gonna start notifying people that they're off the waitlist for ucs 💔i saw someone say they started in late may last year and im so tired of waiting puhleaaaaseeeeee
hey everyone
i got a spring grade request from usc and i know that is usually a good sign but im a little worried about how my spring semester ended up looking
im currently a freshman at brown. calc 1 here is mandatory pass/fail so that is how it shows up on my transcript and i did that last semester, ended with a 4.0
this semester i also got a 4.0, but I dropped calc 2. the main reason was the shooting on campus in december. it happened in the same building where a lot of my lectures were held and after that going back into those large lecture halls was pretty difficult for me personally so i decided to reduce my course load and focus on the classes i felt i could do well in
i also took physics 1 pass/fail even though that was optional. the class was taking up a lot of time and with everything going on i felt it was the best way to manage my workload and protect my gpa, and it was my counselors recommendation too
in my two graded classes i earned a’s so i finished the semester with a 4.0 in all graded coursework
i also recently got a summer internship in construction management/business operations so i could tell my admissions officer about that
do you guys think it is worth sending my usc admissions counselor a short update explaining the dropped class the pass/fail decision and the internship or would that just draw more attention to something they may not care much about
thanks in advance
I know how much trash talk northeastern gets but I got my transfer decision today and my financial aid award ended up covering all my tuition. I also got into usc (no award estimate yet).
Is it worth giving up a t25 college to go to a school that basically won’t cost me as much.
I am upper middle class so I can afford the potential extra cost of usc but don’t know how much more valuable it is over a basically full ride.
hi so i’m on track to an f and i cannot withdraw anymore. I got accepted to ucsb and sdsu and i don’t know what to do? do i email? i was doing the disney college program and with my long hours and i would barely have any time for school. SOS SOS what should i do?
Im having such a hard time deciding where to go.
should i pick UCLA for linguistics & psychology or CAL for psychology?
for context i was admitted for my second choice major at ucla. But once im at a university, I would hope to be on a pre-health track for PA school.
What would u guys pick 😔
Hi guys, I'm really bummed out over my rejection. USC is my dream school; I applied there only. I am currently a freshman at a private 4-year institution in CA studying film and media. I have a 3.94 college gpa (3.84 dual enrollment bc i had a B in a course i did in HS). My essays were how I discovered my love for public policy through a summer internship at city hall + a family situation, and how I want to combine pr and public policy at USC, and listed ways I would (cuz rn I study media and my school doesn't have much law opps) have decent ECS, my LOR was from the supervisor I interned under. I applied for public relations as my first choice and public policy as my second. Also, I have credits for AP US Govt, AP Comp Govt, AP Stats, APUSH, AP HUG, AP Chinese, and AP Lang. (My current institution does not have a writing course equivalent to WRIT 130). I also have my language completed, and I am currently taking microeconomics, which was listed as recommended before I transfer.
My question now is, is it worth it to appeal? After I submitted my application, I got a social media position at an award-winning film company, and I hope to end my spring semester with all A's or one A-. I also got an RA job and a Videographer Intern position that starts next year (not sure if this is as helpful cuz it's next semester, starting in the fall). For my application, I forgot to include that I was in ASB of a big public school (PR officer), and a few other cool ECS from HS. I want to emphasize how much I like USC, why I fit, and why no other school would provide me with a better experience.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I hope you have a great day. Congrats to those who got in.
hi guys, just wanted some feedback on how to frame my transfer story to the peers when i transfer, esp. since I'm considering to attend a more prestigious one .
my straight answer would be money issue- my dad got laid off so we couldn't afford the private college pricing tho i was accepted- and also that the typical answer not being satisfied with the college i was accepted to after hs.
should i say it was to save money? idk if it makes me look too broke to hang around lol
or should i go for burn-outs after high school- i'm from a super competitive high school. it did get so much better after staying at home for a bit and focusing on myself
anyone else here super anxious and just feeling down abt the waitlist specifically with ucla. like i feel i belong there everytime i visit and when i went to bruin day i just felt so down bc this is my dream school and i know im going to have to commit elsewhere and know that it’s possible i don’t hear back…
I wanna work in marketing/product marketing/social media/media-related fields in the future. Career-wise, I know Marshall is probably the better fit for what I wanna do since I’m interested in marketing and media-related stuff. But I’ll probably go back to my home country for work, and people there care a lot more about QS/global rankings than US rankings, which makes NYU kinda hard to ignore reputation-wise internationally. Some employers there really do cut people based on school rankings alone.
So now I’m stuck between choosing the “better fit” school vs the school with stronger global name recognition lol. But at the same time, I originally liked USC more as its my dream school in high school.
Would love to hear honest opinions from people who know both schools internationally.
I go to Mt sac and spring doesn’t end until early June but I got the SGR for usc and I have all A’s rn so what do I do? How do I do the unofficial?
Are we only able to make a calnet account after accepting our offer of admission??
I got SGR recently and submitted my final grades right when the portal gave me the option to so I’m just asking when do you think people would start hearing back
