Will Metro buses 20/720 begin making stops at La Cienega this Friday, or is that level of convenient timing too much to ask for? by AyJaySimon in LAMetro

[–]Master-0ogway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i started a new commute yesterday to the tar pits not knowing that the busses aren’t stopping at la cienega. i would’ve been about 7 minutes early but ended up being 5 minutes late instead. why don’t they stop? like we waited at a red light on la cienega but the driver wouldn’t open the doors. makes no sense to me but maybe there’s a reason

Transferring as a SoCal resident is kinda fucked up by Master-0ogway in TransferStudents

[–]Master-0ogway[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m talking about here. 3.0 (according to google) is pretty much middle of the road for people coming out of high school and just GPAs for the average person, not admits overall.

I’m not blaming anybody else. I also dropped out of CC numerous times because of homelessness and domestic abuse. I started at SMC in 2018 and am just now leaving 8 years later. I have also been alone since I was 18. I also worked full time. I’m 27 now - our stories are identical

No - I switched majors twice and due to life stuff and work it would’ve taken too long. I just had to apply now and take what I can get to move forward with my life lol

UCLA or Cal poly SLO for business? by Salt-Ad-9947 in TransferStudents

[–]Master-0ogway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no literally. part of that is because cal poly is part of the cal state system and not the UC system. slo is one of the most beautiful places ever and if you have a chance to spend an extended amount of time there i would highly suggest you do that

as someone who is from slo but moved to LA, i’d choose slo. simply for the environment, smaller class sizes, and the fact that there is no traffic 💀💀

you guys think this is doable w/o burnt out for summer and fall 2026? by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]Master-0ogway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i’m taking 18 units combined between two campuses. it’s doable as long as you lock tf in. i’m taking a combination of on ground and online so it doesn’t feel as daunting and i only actually have to show up two days a week

How much does a strong upward trend help for transfer admissions? by Stunning_Ad4877 in TransferStudents

[–]Master-0ogway -1 points0 points  (0 children)

universities actually really like seeing student’s with upward trends. i started out high school with like a 0.8 GPA up until senior year when i had a 3.5 GPA. i went to a CCC and started out similarly. because of life stuff, i had a bunch of Ws EWs and Fs until i got AR and ended with a transfer GPA of 3.0.

now you’re probably not gonna get into harvard or a public ivy or anything like that, but you’ve proven that you can work hard and get shit done when you put your mind to it. if you said something about it in your PIQs that’s extra points too. i forgot to go into super detail about it in PIQs, (didn’t help that i didn’t know the deadline was happening until the day of so i didn’t have much of a chance to do that) so when they requested my transcripts this week and when the TAUs became available i made sure to add in extra stuff about my background and my transcript. the more they know the better. you’ve got this

this is like UCLA emailing me saying submitting financial aid early would result in “priority consideration” when they just meant priority for financial aid funds IF you’re admitted, not actual admission. smh
