Members don't see this ad.

it depends on how involved you want to be. $65 a year is nothing compared to our other expenses. i think its a good way to make connections.

How does ASDA help make connections? Do they have conferences?

First off,
Congratulations EyeAmCommi, looks like I will be seeing your ass in SO CAL!!!!!
L8DY, Eye, and Me were all at the same interview coming from UCDavis...and we are all accepted and going to UCLA in sept. I have not much school pride, but seeing this, i gotta say -> GO AGGIES, MUTHA FU*KA...

k, now back to business about laptop requirement..
1. whats with the "Expansion Slots 2 Type II or 1 Type III PC Card Slots"
most affordable laptops only have 1 Type II/I Card Slot..
2. Is this 15" XGA + TFT Active Matrix really required?

Can any current students give us any advice on how closely should we follow this spec. sheet? What are the absolute necessary components?

Congrats to all three of you. I agree with you. It looks like UC Davis has excellent students. All three of you have great DAT scores.

UC Davis... pretty good school, probably second best in the area behind CHICO STATE!!!! 🙂 😀 I could probably help you guys out in school next year, because surely there is some prerequisite material that your undergrad was just not good enough to cover. [please read sarcasm, obviously I am joking.] Glad we can rep northern california a little bit.


Laptop... Why do we need that specified screen size? I want to get a tiny 12" that I can carry around like its nothin. And I don't even know what the heck those slots are that they want... what the hell are the for?

 

[mcshow2]

tofubob... That musta cost you a fortune to apply to all those schools, and then to interview at 11!!! Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

 

[mcshow2]

Sorry... one more question. Just out of curiousity, What is everyone's gender and ethnicity? I'd like to see the diversity of our class.

I'll start... I am a white male. OOOhhhhh, doesn't that sound diverse?

This sounds fun, I'll play too. I'm a Vietnamese (as you can probably tell from my avatar if you paid attention in high school history class) male. I enjoy long walks on the beach and drinking sangrias while smokin' hookah.

And I forgot, I'm also a compulsive gambler. (just kidding)

Man I'm surprised you can read and write coming out of Chico... 🙂 Are you guys still the #1 party school in America? I hear Arizona beat you guys out of the top spot! Haha. Sure you can tutor me in d-school as long as you also show me how to do a kegstand, never done that before! 😛

 

[mcshow2]

I am actually the "reader/writer" for MCShow2 (he tells me what to type). My name is Steve, you will meet me next year as I will be taking his notes, reading them to him every night, and reading his tests aloud to him as well. I am sort of like an interpreter- only we speak the same language. 😉

He (mcshow) says that no, chico was not the number one party school this year, and some of his teachers were pissed saying, "at least we were good at and recognized for SOMETHING!". 😉

ucsb is up there too! 'cause IV is such an ideal college town and all the city college kids live there too.

if you like to gamle, we must organize a poker game. when i was in boston doing my masters program about 5 of us had a weekly poker game. looking back on it now, it's what got us through!! and it was fun!

i'm white male.

i figured if i was gonna pay at least $50,000/year to attend dental school, it would be worth the ~$2000 investment to travel across the country and see what the east coast schools had to offer. i would absolutely love to attend upenn, but in the end, nothing can beat LA's california sun and tasty chinese food (vietnamese pho is coo 2).

BY THE WAY, PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ON YOU GUYS' THOUGHTS ON THE LAPTOP REQUIREMENT.

PM drphobie, i think he's a second year. he should know more about this laptop specs.

from what i heard, they made these requirements but it was never checked. so if you have a decent laptop hold off on getting a new one becuase the one you have might be just fine.

pardon me. in that case he knows even more!

 

[EyeAmCommi]

I just received the letter asking me for my $200 deposit and intent to register. However, it says I need to send back a green card. I didn't receive the green card. Did you guys all receive the green certified mail card?

You will have to talk to the local immigration office about that.

 

[EyeAmCommi]

Bah, I'll just call Noemi. At least that way I won't be deported.

And Dr Hobie, why is your bear wearing a strap on? Is that something you can get at the Build-A-Bear Workshop?

LOL!!! 😀 😀 😀

Hey, is somebody gonna take one for the team and email noemi and ask if we really need to have the "15'' Active Matrix Display" and those other two ports that I have never heard of? I feel like I ask her too many questiions as it is... since like last august!

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

[mitosis]

I went into the admissions office to turn in my paperwork a couple of days ago and I bumped into and met JK5177 from SDN. JK5177 had been really helpful in answering my pm's and I was really happy to meet my first SDN pal. 😀

I asked Noemi about the 15'' screen the other day. She didn't say this explicitly, but we could get whatever screen we want because they don't check and would never know. I asked a few dental students about this, and they told me essentially the same thing. I'm gonna go ahead and buy a 12''.

Thanks!! 😀

I know this topic is old news for this thread, but if out of towners still need some insight on on or off campus housing feel free to ask...I did my undergrad at UCLA with 2 years of dorming and 2 years living off-campus.

How much do studio apartments in westwood go for on average?

 

[EyeAmCommi]

How much do studio apartments in westwood go for on average?

I would also like to know this.

 

[enginerd]

I would also like to know this.

Studios in Westwood are hard to come by, and they cost at least $1000 a month. I used to live in a "Jr. One Bedroom" which is like a one bedroom but uses a curtain to replace one of the four walls to the bedroom, so I guess it counts as a studio? Anyways, that piece of crap cost me and my roommate $1050 and this was three years ago. There's cheaper studios out in Santa Monica but that means you would either have to take the bus or drive to campus.

EyeAmCommi, are you still hoping to get into Columbia? I read your comment about brown nosing Dr. McManus 😛 (I tried to Private Message you but your mailbox is full)

 

[allyzun]

How much do studio apartments in westwood go for on average?

Anything in Westwood (the immediate area around ucla) is going to be over $1000 for a studio. You can find cheaper apts if you move further away from campus like south of Santa Monica BLvd. Another cheaper area where a lot of students live is Palms, about 15-20 min away but the area isnt as nice. Even in less expensive areas, most studios will probably not be any cheaper that $850 or so.

 

[EyeAmCommi]

EyeAmCommi, are you still hoping to get into Columbia? I read your comment about brown nosing Dr. McManus 😛 (I tried to Private Message you but your mailbox is full)

Thanks for the info on housing.

I just want to hear from them but I'm happy with UCLA. I wouldn't give up this acceptance for any other acceptance that may or may not come my way, even Columbia's. But before I got my UCLA acceptance phone call, I did send Dr. McManus a little e-mail telling him how spectacular Columbia was 😀 .

 

[howui3]

rumor going around dat_student is thinking about jumping ship (to the bay area)....

 

[deejay]

I really hope I get Weyburn housing but if it's not available... DAMN!

 

[alba]

Hi everyone!!

I am so excited when I got a letter today and knew that I was accepted!! 🙂
(I think they called me earlier but I missed it.)


anyway, I am so happy to be here 😀

I know that I have to go online and pay the deposit first.
and can someone tell me what else I should do after that?

housing/dorm?
other stuff?

1. housing application which can be found online
2. financial aid application which is also online

I'm sure Noemi will tell you exactly what you need to do. Oh yeah and congratulations, I'll see you this fall. 👍

First post on SDN, so be gentle. I received word from Noemi on Wed. that I've been accepted to the best dental school in the country....UCLA. I interviewed on April 13th and they informed me on April 25th. Pretty fast turnaround thankfully.

Cheers to the rest of the Class of 2010 for working their arses off and getting into a great school.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.
