Transferring / Re: For all those receiving good news...
« on: August 01, 2007, 01:03:53 PM »
I went to Univ. of San Diego with a 166 and a 2.54 ugpa
I ended up being top 18% of my class. 3.54gpa
I got rejected at Boalt
I have not heard back from USC
I was accepted at UC Hastings
I am attending UC Davis
One note: I HATED my university before I attended. I love San Diego. I love how smart my classmates and my professors were. I hated the incompetent administration and the high tuition - and I knew about these things before I went. The fact that I didn't like where I was from day 1 motivated me to do well so I could transfer.
What I did:
Drank beers as often as possible.
Spent a lot of time with friends and family.
Never fell more than 300 pages behind in the reading.
Never missed more than 5 consecutive class meetings.
Volunteered to speak when I was prepared in hopes that I wouldn't get called on when I was unprepared.
Never brought a laptop to class - no distraction from ESPN.com = more retained from lecture.
Re-read everything a few days before the exam and hand wrote my outlines and exams.
Sat behind gals who were stacked and liked to share it with the class. (Incentive to attend classes)
