If so, what do you guys do to decrease it and can someone explain what sub and unsub loans is.

Affirmative Action has been dead since the 70s dude. Don't believe me? Look at the demographic information of California, and the same info for the universities here.

LOL

The only way to decrease that number significantly is grants/scholarships/etc, anything that you don't have to pay back. Loans are obvious.

You can't pay off much with a job during the year, unless its full time or something. I'll only be taking a few classes for my first semester because of AP credits and shit, so I'll be mostly working or partying. I don't expect for the job to pay for much though, because if you figure you make around $700-1000 a month working a part time job, that won't do much on your loans unless you are saving a large majority of that.

friend accepted into cornell, ucsd, ucd & uci. rejected ucb & ucla. 4.3 gpa, 2220 sat, community service, work, athletics all 4 years, won a bunch of science awards and shit. no one accepted to stanford. this happens when your school is prestigious and filled with too many smart kids. yet a nigger girl who got a 4.0 and did one sport (probably basketball) and nothing else besides be black from my school straight from africa accepted to stanford. not even that bright. but our school was a little ghetto.

I'm sorry, but this is pure Bullshit at its finest. I know for a fact that the schools you mentioned are all merit based. Affirmative Action has been dead since the 70s dude. Don't believe me? Look at the demographic information of California, and the same info for the universities here.

False..... at least over here in the DMV. Race plays a HUGE part in your acceptance rate for college.

i hate commenting on the affirmative action issue but my two cents are: if you end it for the spics and niggers (like me), end it for the rich kids from New England and the athletes as well. But we all would be lying to ourselves if we believed that America is a complete meritocracy. Every time I heard Derrick Rose give a post-game interview his rookie season, I started to believe more and more that the rumor which claimed he had someone take the SAT for him was more than a rumor.

also putting this out there: was accepted to a top 5 school and ended up not returning after my freshman year, but was declined from UCLA even though I had better test scores and a harder class schedule than many of my friends who did get in. to be honest though, my UC GPA was only a 3.5 after junior year (graduated with 3.3 unweighted, 3.7 weighted on typical scale) whereas most of the kids I knew who got in had 3.8+, even with weaker class selections for their transcript.

If affirmative action is still in effect, then why are Blacks and Latinos so underrepresented in California schools? I can kinda understand how Blacks aren't because they don't make up a large percent of California in general, but Latinos are almost half of what this state is.

Thinking about changing my major from marketing to food science and also transfing school to LSU. I have been on campus to talk with the dean on the college of food science. The dean wants me to transfer to LSU while getting my undergrad in food science and then my master. I have 3 semesters left at Southern University in my Marketing major then I was going to LSU for my master in Food science and take my prereq for the master program with all chemistry classes doing the summer and first semester. I am asking for advice on what you would do and also any books, helpfully tip, or websites for learning chemistry.

Also the dean said for me to send over my transcipt to see what will transfer over to LSU to try and get me a double major for my undergrad.

UC proves Prop. 209's point - Los Angeles Times

The approach UC campuses take in their admissions process is a far-cry from how they operated in the past.

USC > UCLA > OSU
public schools are becoming harder and harder to graduate on time/find a job. and the public school mentality is hey we saved $xxx so we win (lol)
not that this is a huge sample size but all my friends from UCLA graduated with no job
all my friends from USC (including myself) graduated with high 5/6 figure jobs
there's a reason why all the exotic cars in LA/OC have USC license plates on them

Heard it's a more-than-typical ultra-leftist small liberal arts college. Lots of rich white trust fund babies. Sounded like a school my black ass would've looked into a few years ago when I was doing the college search process, but I needed an "urban" environment.
