In my opinion, for your high school senior to rank in the top 34% at Irvine Valley College is 10 times easier than to rank in the top 10% at an ultra competitive IUSD high school i.e. Northwood / University High Irvine.

Here are the Capped Majors at UCLA. If it is much easier for your child to get into UCLA (2-3 better chance i.e. financial math, stats, etc) than thru a capped major like business econ.. GO FOR IT!!!. Your son can get all the business education he needs from reading good business books and...

@IrvineRes, Congratulations on guiding your high school senior to the IVC/UCLA pathway. I definitely think it is worth it and it is much easier get in thru IVC vs your child to rank in the top 10% at the top high schools in IUSD. From what I have observed, one IVC student got waited listed...

That is really interesting that IUSD is 100% in person.

I believe that you mentioned before that IVC / UCLA transfer is fairly easy to do for a non-capped major. I recently noticed that Business Econ / Economics in the School of Letters and Sciences is a capped major at UCLA. Is it literally impossible for an IVC student to transfer to UCLA as a...

For IUSD high schools, are all the classes in person? Is there a virtual option for high school students where they can take certain classes in person and others online with a virtual teacher from IUSD?

Just curious.. With UC admissions removing the SAT requirements since 2020, are they admitting student solely based on GPA, class rank, and extra curricular? Would love hear from Parents who have kids attending college next year.

You know I like the younger version of Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, but not so much the 70 year old version. There were a lot of good gold nuggets and wisdom in his earlier books. In his book Retire Young, Retire Rich, he wrote, "The best thing about retiring early and taking a year off...

Thanks for sharing Liar Loan. Keep in mind, some great CEOs had ADHD like Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Bill Hewitt, Tommy Hillfiger, Charles Schwab, Walt Disney, Richard Branson, John T. Chambers, and I am sure that Steve Jobs was also an ADHD kid growing up. There is a bible verse where it says that...

Have you guys seen the Kumon logo? Is it a happy face? No, It is a drawing of unhappy face. Kumon is the modern day Prison for the little Asian kids today.

How do all the other Parents in Irvine feel about UC Admissions removing the SATs requirements since 2020? Should all the other top public universities follow UC Admissions lead in getting rid of the SATs?

April 26th, 2024 The Fed will not cut rates in the Apr/May meeting and June meeting. The Fed raised rates too late to fight inflation. They will again start to cut rates too late. They will not cut because the inflation is headed towards 2%, but will be forced to cut. Welcome to Bidenomics, a...

@zubs, Is the Doctor you know Korean? Is he is the Doctor in LA you are talking about?

I didnt say i wanted to become any Hollywood Actor. I wanted to be a Hong Kong Movie Star.

@irvinehomeowner, If your kids's dream is to become a Hong Kong Movie Star like me when I was little, It is okay for Asian parents to roast your dreams. :) . Just curious, What type of Art were you funding before and what type of Art is your son pursuing now?

I agree with your statement. The problem is that most Asian moms in Irvine dont think like you. Perhaps you can influence them to the truth. The red ocean high school teachers do not value Creative Kids while people like you may see Genius in them.

I agree and I hope the other top Public universities like Michigan, UNC, UVA, and Tech follow the UC admissions' lead in eliminating the SATs. I am familiar with Art Center as they have one of the best Graphic Design programs like Rhode Island School of Design. When i was a senior in high...
