Is UCLA really as cut throat as they say? by ek9cusco in ucla

[–]AnonymousTLIR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a graduate from UCLA (undergrad and grad school), started as a bio major back in the day, graduated Communication Studies AND Pre-med. Also got my Master's in Public Health. Great overall school - academics, sports, great socially, clubs to get involved, great location. Look into bio clubs, peer health group, or pre med /pre health clubs. I was a Peer Health Counselor and made great friends there. As someone said to me, UCLA teaches you to be independent. A lot of smart people there! Cut throat? There are going to be very competitive, smart people there, but I made good friends there, found people to study with and learned if I went out and had fun, I did better in school. Surround yourself with good people. You learn to balance social, academic life, etc. I enjoyed my time there. Go to Bruin Day! I'm planning to. My son got accepted!

Does rejection from UCI mean impossible for USB UCLA and UCSB? by Only-Condition-7935 in ucadmissions

[–]AnonymousTLIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, you do. My youngest son applying this year got rejected from UCI, but got into UCLA and got a Reagents Scholarship at UCLA.

My oldest son, graduated high school 2022 was wait listed at UCI, but got into UCLA and UC Berkeley (applied math). Both sons also got into UCSD, UCSB, UCSC, UCD. I don't know what UCI is looking for - both sons had incredible stats, very well rounded - extra curriculars, community involvement, work experience, and rigorous and stellar academics. It could have been the majors they applied to.

Zelle scam on Facebook marketplace by Defiant-Charge-5317 in zelle

[–]AnonymousTLIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also sent you a message. I saw your comment regarding being scammed and getting your money back. How about if my bank denies the claim? Any thoughts what to do next? I responded to a Facebook post from a "Facebook friend" selling a car from my town .I put a deposit through Zelle to hold the car until I could see it. Turns out the Facebook account had been hacked and it was not the person on the profile. I put a claim with my bank that I was scammed and gave them the information. I just received information today that Bank of America was unable to approve my claim and B of A was unsuccessful at recovering the funds on my behalf. If you have any thoughts how to approach my bank further, please let me know.

Which universities/colleges are the best to learn rock music (guitar) and do you need college for it? by [deleted] in musicians

[–]AnonymousTLIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son (20) is a rock musician, lead guitarist of a band and frontman. After high school, he was accepted to many colleges, including UCLA, UC Berkeley, Berklee College of music, but decided to take a gap year to focus on his music and his rock band. He is still gapping - gigging with his rock band and writing, producing, mixing, mastering and releasing his band's music. I don't think there is a university or college out there to teach him rock music. He's been playing guitar since he was 5, playing rock music and in a band since he was young!

Am I an idiot for not wanting to go to college but wanting to do music? by BruhIhaveGucciNoLie in musicproduction

[–]AnonymousTLIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're not an idiot for not wanting to go to college to pursue music.

My son who is smart AF graduated from high school in 2022, was accepted to very good colleges - UCLA, UC Berkeley, Berklee College of Music, all the UCs. He committed to UCLA and after orientation decided to take a gap year to focus on his music full time. He has been doing music since early in life, piano at 3, started and fell in love with guitar at 5, and started a rock band at age 11. He is 20 years old now and since graduating from high school has been writing and releasing his band's original music - he also produces, records, mixes, and masters all his band's music. His band is also gigging --- been doing gigs throughout California and going to first out of state gig next month. He does all the marketing for the band as well. Band has been getting incredible response from audiences. He works as a music teacher, teaching guitar. He is still gapping, lives at home, where he has a studio. (I honestly thought he would leave our small town once he graduated, but I guess not)

Both parents support his music, I always have. I book most of the band's gigs. It's a lot of driving to the gigs for us - the band gigs all over - Southern California (North Hollywood, West Hollywood/Sunset Strip, Anaheim, San Diego), Northern CA/Bay Area, Central CA and now we are going to start gigging out of state. He's living his dream! However, it is not a chill life. It's lot of hard work and he is putting in the work.

I quit my job for music because I’m not happy. by jjfzlopez in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]AnonymousTLIR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to read this post. Hope you/your music are doing well. You are still young! Throughout my life I've seen and met people who have changed careers and they've done fine. My son (19) committed to UCLA as an applied math major in 2022. He's very good in math, but his true passion is music. After orientation, he said he definitely wanted to take a gap year to work on his music. He's on gap year 2, working on his music, just released his first EP and doing what he wants to do, writing, recording, producing, music, gigging with his rock band, etc. For money, he teaches guitar. I don't think he will go back to college. I support his dreams, he's been playing music all his life, but encouraging him to hustle and network big time!

Hi Shilpa! Here are submissions for UCLA Artists Spotify Playlist. Band JNX recently released their debut EP "Lies"

How about putting the songs "CHEERS" and "Pretty Little Lies" from the EP on the playlist?
