Rejected from UCLA

UCLA Rejection

UCLA has been my first rejection so far. I have to admit I really was not smart about applying to UCLA. When I applied, I knew that Economics was a highly competitive and impacted major so I decided to chose a major that I thought would be less difficult to get accepted into, namely Economics/International Area Studies. However, I did not see this statistics page on the UCLA website:

Profile of Admitted Transfer Students by Major

If you scroll down to Economics/International Area Studies you will see that it has the LOWEST acceptance rate (13.73%) out of any major in the College Letters and Sciences. Given my poor academic performance years ago and the only one semester of CC classes, it is not surprising that I did not get accepted.

But, it is okay. I have been saying for a long time that I have wanted to leave Los Angeles and now that has become a reality. I find out about Berkeley in a few days.
