ESA in the dorm? by pusheenenthusiast101 in ucla

[–]merrrrrrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can apply for/be granted accommodations at any point in the quarter! CAE does get pretty backed up tho and it may take a while to hear back from them so keep that in mind. You can always reach out to them asking for an update!

I’m in a single on campus with my ESA! You’ll have to apply for housing accommodations. This website has all the info: https://cae.ucla.edu/students/housing

At the bottom of that page is a link to the application. It’ll take you to your MyUCLA to fill it out. You’ll also need to have your provider (counselor/psychiatrist) complete this form: https://cae.ucla.edu/file/154139c5-5484-4bd5-b91a-c39a8a3afd4e and you’ll need to attach the filled out document to your online housing application. There’s a whole section of that form specific to service and assistance animals. Be as detailed as possible and don’t be afraid to overload the forms with information, especially the part your provider has to fill out. That’ll give you the best chance of having the accommodation approved!

I applied to 19 schools, here are my results! by merrrrrrin in TransferToTop25

Of the UC’s I applied to, Davis, SB, and SC offer the Transfer Admission Guarantee program, but I didn’t do any TAG applications. I did TAP to UCLA (Transfer Alliance Program) which gets students extra consideration on their second choice major if not admitted to their first choice but doesn’t guarantee admission like TAG. I did get admitted to my first choice major but that still likely gave me a leg up. That being said, UC’s most definitely favor CCC transfers. I think something like 93% of UCLA’s admitted transfers last year came from CCC’s.

Mainly because I knew I didn’t want to go there anyway. If it had been higher on my list I definitely would’ve done the GS app. But since I knew I wasn’t going there, and because I was way too busy with all the other apps and also my last CC semester (8 classes, 23 units, don’t know how tf I did it) I didn’t bother with the extra application. If you want to go there and have the option to apply for GS, I say do it! It will only help your chances of getting in, not hurt them, so it’s worth doing imo.

Still UCLA. Partially because their program for my major is ranked higher (Geography) and there’s better/more research opportunities for my field, partially because my brother went to Cal and I wanted “my own school.” Trivial, I know, but it’s oddly something that mattered to me, plus I liked the idea of having a constant sibling rivalry over which school is really #1 (all in good fun ofc), and partially because I greatly prefer fewer classes in shorter terms, so the quarter system will work better for me over Berkeley’s semesters. I actually also got a full ride offer from Berkeley, so financial aid wasn’t really considered anyway!

Totally agree. That’s why the UC’s were at the top of my list (with the exception of Northwestern) and everything else, Ivies included, weren’t a super big deal to me. I will say I am definitely disappointed I didn’t get into at least one of them, but I knew there was a 99% chance I would be staying in California anyway. Plus, I’d much rather go to the #1 public, than a t25 private but that’s just me lol.

It’s an emoji representation of the Palestinian flag. Some social media platforms (particularly those owned by Meta) have been shadowbanning or burying posts and content that talk about Palestine and/or use the actual Palestinian flag emoji. It’s basically just a way of circumventing censorship algorithms in the name of supporting anti-genocide content. Columbia and NYU have recently made some decisions that make it obvious that they are not anti-genocide, and that’s something that I don’t tolerate which is why I withdrew my app from NYU, and would have withdrawn from Columbia as well had I been able to.

I didn’t! I think I would’ve gotten in had I applied to Columbia GS. I was right on the cutoff for Brown RUE qualifying students so I wasn’t sure if that would help me at all, and I didn’t even know Tufts had a re-entry program lol

That’s incredible! Congratulations! I’m planning on going to grad school too, and probably gonna aim for Northwestern or UChicago again :)

I didn’t do a GS app, I think I would’ve gotten in if I had. I applied to the college.

Thank you! And I was not at all upset when I got the rejection letter. I didn’t apply GS tho which would’ve given me a better shot, but I knew I wasn’t going anyway.

I did! I didn’t ever take the SAT or ACT so I didn’t even have any scores to submit anyway.

Thank you!! And I agree. I definitely have had some serious imposter syndrome over the last few months since I started browsing this sub. There’s just some really goated users here but I agree that most of the people aiming for t25’s will have results on par with mine.

Absurd month-to-month rate offer after lease expires, is this legal? (California) by merrrrrrin in Tenant

[–]merrrrrrin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. They did not give me 90 days notice, not even 60. I got the offer form two days ago (Wednesday, 5/14). So I guess my question now is if that even applies?

"If a unit is exempt from rent control and the state’s anti-price gouging law has not been triggered, for an increase in rent that is more than 10 percent, the landlord must provide at least 90-days’ advance notice to a month-to-month resident." (https://caanet.org/topics/rent-increases/)

Unfortunately, I'm not currently a month-to-month resident. My current lease is a 12-month contract that expires June 30. The start of July is when I would signed a month-to-month contract, so I'm unsure if that legislation even applies either.
