Re: Not recommended for credential
Posted by Rodeo to Seven and Stomach lady on 5/02/08

    Hey Seven,

    Some of the UC schools can treat their students really badly. I
    went to UCLA and had a similar experience. That is kind of how
    the UC's operate I think if you are in a North campus type major
    like teaching credential or such.

    The UC's are like their own country. In 2000 or 2002, so many
    UCLA students got medals in the Olympics that if they would have
    been a country then UCLA would have been like 7th in the world
    for medals. UC is a very powerful system. Nobody can censure
    them. They know it. You know how California voters voted to
    outlaw affirmative action. Well, UC disagrees with that so they
    have instituted several back door procedures to continue
    affirmative action. For example, they do not require the SAT for
    students transferring in from community college. This allows
    them to admit many minority students who would never get in
    otherwise. Do you think they are letting in many white or asian
    students from community college?

    Also, I have heard that they are one of the school admissions
    that give huge admissions points for O Woe Is Me letters. This
    is where minority students tell them a sob story for how rough
    their childhood was. A student can get more points for a good wa-
    wa letter than for a perfect SAT score. And do you think there
    is any way to verify that the crap in those letters is even
    true. Do you think that they are giving any admissions points
    for a white student that writes about how their Mom was a single
    mother and their step dad diddled them and their dog died on
    their 4th birthday and they were raised by a wolf pack after
    being lost in a tragic camping incident and they only survived
    by suckling on the teat of the alpha female who took a liking to
    them and protected them from being eaten by the rest of the pack
    and their foster parents used to burn them with cigarette butts
    and not let them eat anything but 1 can of Alpo a day?

    Admissions points for cry baby letters...my God what has this
    country come to?

    Hey Stomach lady,

    Don't worry about this person being nasty to you saying you have
    bad grammar. I didn't notice anything outrageously bad in
    spelling or grammar in your post. This is a chatboard. The
    conversations are conversational. We aren't writing term papers.
    Have you ever had to transcribe spoken conversation into
    writing? It doesn't follow conventional written grammar. It
    isn't meant to because the main point is to just get across your
    message. Just ignore that post.
