Gah, my post vanished. Anyway, I started my bachelors in Econ at ucsd, finished with a degree in east Asian studies (Chinese) at ucla. After a stint with americorps, I studied drama in london through a berkeley summer program (just for kicks) and got my multi subject teaching credential, first through calpoly pomona and then calstate la. Considered getting a masters in history or education but I cannot deal with the idea of writing papers anymore! Lol... - bluefairy
627.4 #174 11:26PM
@bluefairy. Drama, I didn*t know you studied drama. That explains a lot. - JediStitch
429.7 #291 11:30PM
my goodness! all of you are so smart! maybe i am just in awe of how many adults went to college, seeing that my mom and dad and stepdad all skipped it. my mom did CSULB for a year but decided she didnt like college. its pretty much essential to go to graduate if you want a decent job, nowadays. so scary. - paigito
27.2 #4513 11:33PM
Ahhhh! Well we are waiting to hear back right now from all of the UCs. I have a senior and I went to all the college planning stuff you can only imagine! Make sure your taking you subject two tests now. You can "hide" your scores and only send in you highest 2 scores. Good luck. This is your most important year for your apps so good luck and keep us posted:) if you have any questions feel free to ask. I did learn alot of information in the last year and a half! - jerzanemama
113.4 #2849 11:34PM
PS-say it ain*t so-not CAL!!! lol it*s ok, Giants trump college football every time! ;) - MinnieYooHoo
219.3 #1364 11:36PM
the UCs dont require the SAT II subject tests after the seniors this year! but i am still taking 2 because stanford recommends it and it cant hurt to have extra stuff to throw onto my apps. i take the full blown SAT for the first time on saturday....SO NERVOUS! got 1860 on the PSAT. hopefully can get into 2000s by the fall! - paigito
27.2 #4513 11:44PM
I was gonna say they do not "require" but yes it is better to have more than less. Trust me. Get your FAFSA in as close to Jan 1 as possible even though they are not due until March. The $ do run out. @princess Sarah my sons #1 is CAL:) can you make an alum phone call?!?!? Just kiddin! - jerzanemama
113.4 #2849 11:52PM
@paigito just relax. See how you do and then maybe take a class. But it sounds like you will do fabulous. Just get rest and pay attention to the questions. There are alot of "tricks". You will do great! :) good luck! - jerzanemama
113.4 #2849 11:55PM
i think my mom is going to a college funding specialist so they can walk us through the FAFSA so we dont mess anything up. thank you for the encouragement and advice! i wish you guys luck with your sons college experience - paigito
27.2 #4513 11:59PM
I did all of my applications and financial aid paperwork myself. My parents always made me handle my own affairs. Lmk if you need help, I worked in college administration a little bit... - bluefairy
627.4 #174 12:27AM
@jerzanemama - no srsly I do know how to work the Berkeley system. What did your son choose for his declared major? Feel free to txt me w/ your email address if you need any info. I HOPE YOUR SON GOES TO CAL!!! That was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made my in my life! - PrincessSarah
157.3 #2188 12:41AM
@paigito I hope your mom doesnt pay for this specialist!!! That would be a waste of money! You can do it yourself girlfriend :D It is a simple and easy process, and the point of FAFSA is so that YOU can get MONEY! Not have to pay someone in order to fill out the app for you.... If you have any questions, @bluefairy offered her services, as do I. I will do anything for someone who aims for higher education :) - PrincessSarah

BA-credential, MA: University of the Pacific! go tigers. Remember private does not equal expensive. They have access to all the same FA. And usually they have large endowments that they need to launder, this usually means they match federal funding with their private funds! Good luck. - georgieporgie
