When you apply to one of the humanities, you're making a committment to partake in one of the oldest learning traditions in human history, do not treat it as something lesser than you. It was here before you, it will be here after you.

Pretty successful guy

#

It's not a bad school, people just dunk on it cause they don't care enough to look deep into it past the acceptance rate

#

I think people who apply w intention of switching are screwed up imo

No I agree cause it also screws over program planning for the programs themselves

Oh UCLA, where do I even begin? My shining star, my dearest blue and gold. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you stand proudly in the heart of Los Angeles, your grandeur stretching from the stately Royce Hall to the sun-soaked courts of Sunset Rec. Your iconic brick facades, the way Powell Library glows under the California sun, the peaceful hum of Bruin Walk—I could lose myself in your beauty forever.

You are more than just a university; you are a legacy, a dream, a promise of something greater. Your spirit is unmatched, electrifying the air with every “UCLA Fight Fight Fight!” that echoes through Pauley Pavilion. The thrill of game days, the sea of blue and gold in the Rose Bowl, the boundless energy of Spring Sing—every moment with you is a celebration. I dread the day I will have to leave you, knowing that no matter where I go, no place will ever feel quite like home the way you do.

You have given me so much joy—and yes, a little heartbreak—over the years. The first time I saw your acceptance letter, it felt like the universe itself had conspired in my favor. And yet, you challenged me. The struggle up Janss Steps after a sleepless night, the agony of back-to-back midterms, the endless line at Bruin Café—every hardship only made my love for you stronger. Because through it all, you have pushed me to be better.

From the breakthroughs at the David Geffen School of Medicine to the innovation born in Engineering IV, you are a force to be reckoned with. You have sent Bruins to the farthest reaches of space, to championship podiums, and to the very forefront of progress. You do not just shape minds; you shape history. And in doing so, you have forever changed my world.

As a sophomore girl at UCLA, I am quite saddened by the lack of North Campus girlies who are interested in South Campus girlies. The divide between the two sides of campus isn’t just academic—it seems to extend into social and romantic spheres as well. While North Campus is filled with art history majors sipping their milk lattes and debating postmodernism, South Campus is drowning in stressed-out STEM girls who spend their days in Boelter, frantically solving problem sets and wondering if they’ll ever see the sun again.

Perhaps the underrepresentation of North Campus girlies willing to appreciate the charm of their South Campus counterparts is due to many factors Maybe it's the stereotype that STEM girls have no personality outside of coding and lab reports, or perhaps it's just the sheer distance—walking from Bunche to Young Hall is basically a pilgrimage, after all. But I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. My fellow South Campus girlies must be suffering in silence, yearning for an humanities or social sciences major to analyze their text messages with poetic depth.

Every single day, I wake up, grab my iced coffee, and walk through the Court of Sciences, hoping to lock eyes with a North Campus girly who sees the beauty in my TI-Nspire CX II calculator and molecular models. But alas, to no avail. Perhaps I am merely looking in the wrong places. If you are a North Campus girlie reading this, please, don’t feel afraid to cross to the other side. Embrace the Beaker and the Beret. My mental well-being depends on it. If this divide continues, I may have to take drastic measures (like minoring in philosophy just to be able to infiltrate the scene). Any tips are much appreciated, thanks!

it’s been stuck since saturday for me

i called support and they just told me to send an email 💀

humble gale
# severe copper Yeah ofc

awesome- i appreciate it! ill post them here in case anyone has similar questions

1.) the new student orientation is mandatory, right? for some reason, im seeing people on reddit say not to go because its unhelpful, but im not going to rely on reddit lol. if you don't mind sharing a bit about your experience with your orientation, that would be much appreciated!

2.) is it true that students can start enrolling in classes during their orientation? i wont be available for the first several orientation dates, so im worried about classes filling up fast

3.) i heard something about ucla offering a year-long clusters course which is supposed to help meet a huge portion of GE's. how & when would i sign up for that?

4.) any idea when the honors college application usually opens? i heard its around september but not 100% sure

5.) assuming you live on campus (no worries if not), around how long did it take you to get your housing app decision?

storm slate
verbal ocean
#

1, it's basically mandatory cause it's going to be basically impossible to enroll in classes otherwise. Most of orientation is really boring (I literally fell asleep) but there are some fun parts.

  1. They hold slots in classes for each orientation.

  2. You would sign up for it at orientation. Caveat for clusters, they do save one ge but they are noticeably harder than your average 80% a ge. Unless you have a ton of classes to take it might not be a bad idea to reconsider taking them.

  3. Iirc it opened in early September.

  4. Assuming you submit by the rd deadline, by late may. We got ours 5/28

severe copper
# humble gale awesome- i appreciate it! ill post them here in case anyone has similar question...
  1. You should 100% go to orientation! Not just for the social aspect (you make soooo many friends cause this is when people will be the friendliest) but also because they reserve specific spots for freshman in every class so you should go if just for that. I had a fantastic time at orientation and met so many people, many of which I’m still good friends with today! I’m very glad I went and forced myself to be social

  2. Yes, it’s true but you don’t need to be worried about that but they receive a proportion for every group based on the majors present. For example, if 50% of that orientation group are cs majors, then they’ll save a proportional number of spots vs if 10% were cs majors, they’d save fewer spots since the proportion was smaller.

  3. Highly recommend clusters! You sign up during orientation as one of your classes. Just tell your new student advisor that it’s something you’re interested in

  4. It opens before you start school in early September. Honors is kind of bs though from what I’ve heard

  5. I live on campus yeah and I got my decision in June/july iirc

novel ferry
#

do ygs recommend the freshman summer program

verbal ocean

It will help you get you adjusted to campus, but honestly your first quarter will be light enough that you don't really need to worry about that, and it is kind of pricy. Might make more sense for oos students since there is no surcharge

Most people are saying GT has better placement into big tech/notable tech companies than UCLA but im wondering where this assumption came from bc it doesnt look right from the data.
Here's the data:
UCLA undergrad Computing department: 1300 students -> 325 students per year (Check school demographoics)
Georgia Tech undergrad computing department: 3600 students -> 900 students per year (Check school demographics)

Placement into Big Tech (https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-tech) UNDERGRAD ONLY

UCLA: 252 students
GT 505 students

Per capita:

252/325 = 77.5%
505/900 = 56.1%

Disclaimer: I understand there's other departments as well who can take these jobs, but for the purpose of this, I used the college of computing as that's where most students will come from, this includes includes CS, Computer Engineering, and Data Science.

Anyway, can someone tell why people tend to make the assumption GT give better placement for Big Tech/High paying Tech roles.

# carmine wolf guys for premed

ucla is better suited for premed than ucb & i heard has more clinical opportunities, esp with their med school on campus (berkeley does not have one)
not sure about ucla vs. case western. it might come down to which better fits your needs (location; # of premed courses accounted for in your major, if applicable; student organizations; campus scene; prestige if you care-- medical schools probably will, but ofc gpa & extracurriculars matter more)

@severe copper do you recommend doing clusters

Best and easiest one is the race and ethnicity cluster

#

0 tests just papers

#

And projects

grave stratus

what i'm worried about is like if it'll kill my GPA

like if i try to do something that interests me like the biotechnology and society cluster or the brain cluster

#

will it take up tons of effort or no

severe copper

I start studying 2 days before the midterm/final at most (sometimes day of) and the TAs grade the papers super easy

The brain cluster I’ve heard is a bit more work but not difficult

Basically all the clusters r easy cause they’re grade inflated and easier than normal geneds

is it advisable to take clusters that don't overlap with your major? I see one that I'm very interested in but yeah... 🥲

js gotta wait a bit more

they usually have alot of oos kids who realize they cant pay for ucla so spots will open up

esp this year i think bc of the economic uncertainity

Cause you have to get geneds

Cause last year they mis predicted yield pretty bad

TY!! how is biotech as a premed? iirc that's the one you're doing right
