4/19    I got my USC acceptance letter yesterday. Did anyone else get
        their letter? - ucla ee guy
        \_ I didn't get anything... but not too depressed  -ucla cs guy
        \_ USC sucks
        \_ I'll apply for ucla ee next year and my gpa is low 3, how's my
           chance? potential ucla ee guy
           \_ the average GPA for UCLA applicants is 3.5.
           \_ GPA is just one of many factors. If you have a low GPA you
              can still get into MIT if you have an awsome GRE, great
              recs from famous professors, and if you have done good
                               \_ or famous coders (say Dennis Ritche,
                                  Ken Thompson, David Korn, Steve Bourne,
                                  etc.)
                                  \_ Why do people insist on interrupting?
              publications.
              \_ ..._And_ wrote a good statement of purpose.
              \_ Sorry pal, MIT doesn't consider GRE.
                 \_ Is this really true?
                    \_ Yes, it is true. -- rejected from MIT
                    \_ Yes.  It was written somewhere in the application
                       material when I tried to apply 9 years ago.
              \_ I got low 2 GPA, which school i can apply?
                 \_ I didn't know you can stay in the major with low 2?
                    \_ I did it somehow. -geordan
                    \_ On man, this is berkeley, low 2 gpa is like high 3
                       at other school.
                    \_ Of course you can.  Just keep paying tuition and fees.
                       No one gets kicked out if they don't want to be.
                       \_ Really?  In my days, you need to pass the
                          majority of classes with a B- or better in
                          order to stay in the L&S CS major.
                          \_ no that was the official policy, it was never
                             strictly enforced.  keep paying your bills.
                 \_ Cornell (no min gpa), Chico, Western Nebraska
                    \_ I got 2.9.  Is SJSU it worth going?
                    Teachers College, etc.
              \_ I got high 2 GPA, which school can I apply?
                 \_ SJSU min gpa is 2.75, if you are higher than
                    that you'll get in.
                    \_ I got 2.9.  Is SJSU worth going?

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
