  1. Hi guys, I'm back with more new questions. Guys, please, post in any information you know regarding your plans with ucla...be it classes, advisors, commuting, anything....I've been wanting to know what others are doing for this fall. Already registered for the classes ? Picked an advisor yet? And most important of all.....commutation. Is there any one who's outside LA? I wanna know how are you guys gonna commute to the school? I just saw the option of vanpooling in their website and was wondering if anybody is considering this option. As i stay almost an hr drive away from UCLA, I want to consider other safer and convenient options to driving by myself. Any idea with that? Please share them here. Also, did anybody meet with any prof yet? How important is it to meet with the advisors before our classes begin? Yeah one more question......did anybody get their bruin card yet? Folks, do share in your information and even your queries with all of us here. That's what this thread is for. Thanks !
  2. Can you tell me who exactly did you ask regarding the adviser issue? Can you post the email or the link in this thread? I just called the graduate division of computer science regarding this and she said that I should be picking up what she called a 'preliminary adviser' and set an appointment with him/her to consult about picking my courses. Later, if I want, I have an option of changing my adviser. That's what she said and it was a news to me! I haven't heard of any such system anywhere. And from your post, it looks like there's a discrepancy somewhere and now I'm a lot more confused :x Anybody there who is already in UCLA and who understands the system inside?
  3. yeah, i saw the same too. Can you tell me what exactly it means by "Enrollment Appointment Times"? And how do I know which one is mine? Oh, I have one more question..... have any of you guys picked up your advisor yet? I had been in an impression that we'll all be assigned an adviser by the department but then, it looks like it's up to us to pick someone to be our adviser. Did you guys know about this? One more concern.....in order to register for a class, do we need an advisor's approval? If that's the case then I am in a big trouble now, coz i haven't yet contacted any faculty requesting for their advising, and I fear i might get late in registering for the class, in the process of looking for a prof! Please share your inputs. It would be a great help to me! Thanks much! See you guys soon
  4. Well, after i submitted my SLR, I received a letter from the UCLA registrar asking for certain documents as proof of my residency. Thats what I meant when I said I'm in the middle of processing for residency acceptance. What about u? Are u availing for the resident tuition fees as well? arnufc....are you doing any specific preparation for the school? I have no idea what else to do except to wait for some kinda communication from them. I haven't even decided on my specialization yet! How about u?
  5. i haven't been contacted by anyone from the school after I heard the news of the admit. I have no idea of when we could start registering for classes and who my advisor is. Did any of you receive any mail regarding these? Any idea if there will be an orientation program arranged for us? and when? Currently I am in the middle of processing for residency acceptance for tuition purposes. And I am also in a look out for a proper commuting means (other than car, ofcourse, coz that'd be my last option). If you have any sort of idea for commuting to UCLA other than by car, could you just share that with me here? Anyone having any other question, can post them here......may be we could help....this thread is meant for just that. Thanks a lot and see you in the fall!!
  6. Hi guys! I finally decided to join UCLA for my MS program in CS. I'm very excited about it and looking forward to the classes in fall. I was wondering if there is anyone like me, admitted to UCLA and waiting for the classes in fall. I'd be interested to have a lil discussion here with you guys about the campus, classes and other related stuff. Anybody interested, please post a reply here. Thanks and happy college hunting!
  7. oh, congrats to you! yes I have been to the campus once and it was pretty impressive to me!
  8. Hi folks, I am a new member here and I'd like to get some advice on school selection. I recently got admission offers for MS in Computer Science from UCLA and USC and I am having trouble in choosing one for the other. Here's why: 1. Program: USC: CS in game dev, an awesome program with a promising career ahead. UCLA: CS, yet to decide my specialization, all though i havent come across an interesting one available for me. So, i'll be a hard core computer scientist here, and career prospects are as usual, nothing exciting in my opinion. 2. Reputation: Both are equally reputed schools as far as I know, which does no good in easing my confusion 3. Tuition: USC is way too expensive as opposed to UCLA - a one major factor, I cannot ignore! 4. Commutation: For where I live, commuting to UCLA works out much easier than to USC. That's all my confusion is about. In a nutshell, I don't know what to choose between career and money/comfort. I really need some opinions from you guys. I have to make a decision soon. Thanks much
