[mental cargo]

Ohh

[hasty spear]

Irvine was my top choice but flat out rejected

[mental cargo]

Yield protected*

[mental cargo]

Yea

[hasty spear]

Damn bro is him

[mental cargo]

Nahh

[hasty spear]

I could try to transfer to ce

But its not a guaranteed thing

[wheat walrus]

i got into ucsd

but undeclared??

how does that work

[gentle hamlet]

eventually you gotta choose a major

[wheat walrus]

choose or apply to one?

cuz like

i never applied for undeclared

[gentle hamlet]

some majors you can just pick

others you have to apply (read: cs)

[wheat walrus]

oh, so capped majors need application

fuck

and how good is finance at ucsd

[hasty spear]

Maybe i could switch my major to undeclared and try to apply for ce

[wheat walrus]

i was looking for that biz ranking list someone sent here, cant find it

[gentle hamlet]

ce is awesome y'all should join me

i wanted ce and got ce

[hasty spear]

Ofc

[sacred fractal]

yo can someone send the ucsd server

[hasty spear]

🍌

[verbal ether]

true

[verbal ether]

is that on the hub 💀

or could i get a link 💀

would like to spread misinformation

[gentle hamlet]

the fact that i say "ucb" means that i'm already assimilated to the ucsd community imo

[verbal ether]

are u gonna commit

[gentle hamlet]

basically 100%

my parents won't let me click the button just yet but they're in agreement that i'm almost definitely coming here

[trail violet]

question when is the earliest u can hear back from wl

and another question is do wl students still get considered for their top choice college at ucsd

cuz i feel wl kids will usually get their bottom choices since all the good ones like 6th are full

[sacred fractal]

rip

is seventh good

[verbal ether]

yea but far

[hasty spear]

Far from everything apparently

[verbal ether]

i still go visit my seveth friend a lot tho cause rimac close

[trail violet]

hello anyone please

[sacred fractal]

ohhh

[lusty mesa]

early may

2-3 waves

[unreal tundra]

wait so they want grades for appeal

but not for wl

wtf

why

this is bs

[sacred fractal]

what's appeal

[unreal tundra]

if u get rejected

i got wl

[lusty mesa]

appeals rarely get overturned

appeal ur decision

[unreal tundra]

my friend got rejected but they want his grades

[lusty mesa]

but u need new and compelling info

[unreal tundra]

i dont get why they dont want sem 1 grades

[sacred fractal]

ohhh

[lusty mesa]

its mainly for if u think they fucked up and u deserved to get in

[sacred fractal]

icic

[unreal tundra]

i worked hard for nothing...

[sacred fractal]

ripppp

[lusty mesa]

it wasnt for nothing

[unreal tundra]

usc does not wl

and my other rd schools idc cuz uiuc

[lusty mesa]

did u get into usc?

or just uiuc

[unreal tundra]

so my grades will not help me

usc comes out next fri

[lusty mesa]

oh shit

[unreal tundra]

banner

[lusty mesa]

we have em

[unreal tundra]

oh u sounded surprised

[unreal tundra]

usc was next fri

oh right from ea

[lusty mesa]

i dont keep up

no this is new

[hasty spear]

Imma take a gamble and go in undeclared

Just so i can spread misinformation among the ucsd community

[wispy hawk]

@lusty mesa got waitlisted rip :/

[unreal tundra]

same

rip

manifest

[hasty spear]

Manifest

[lusty mesa]

awww im sorry

[autumn briar]

theres still hope from the waitlist 🙏

does anyone have the dataset for how many ppl got in thru waitlist last yr

would it be the 2022-2023 data set or the 2021-2022 data set for last yr

[hasty spear]

About this many

[lusty mesa]

2022-2023 data isnt out yet

the 2021-2022 set is the one that shows 0

[verbal ether]

cause ucsd overenrolled that year 💀

and then fucked over then 2nd years w/ housing

[lusty mesa]

yeo

[wispy hawk]

man well atleast there’s still hope for me with UCSD

[verbal ether]

something something transferring to CS impossible

[hasty spear]

Bro got tired of repeating himself

[lusty mesa]

the scream before finals

[turbid briar]

💀

[lusty mesa]

everyone screaming rn

like the whole campus

[verbal ether]

i screamed

[hasty spear]

Im screaming without the s

[gentle hamlet]

i'm screaming without the r

[hasty spear]

He cookin something up fr

[unreal tundra]

@lusty mesa

what does a ranked wl mean?

and how can i see this info

cuz its released to us right

[misty estuary]

that on the WL, everyon waitlisted has a placement on the wl

u dont get to knwo but its like

in case someone rejects enrollment who gets picked

[lusty mesa]

i was confused ab that too

[unreal tundra]

so how do i find the released info

cuz its released as said in the cds

[unreal tundra]

but it says the info is released

[lusty mesa]

why dont u go email them and ask

[unreal tundra]

its the weekend

on monday i will

or i can ask reddit

[lusty mesa]

they prob backlogged rn

so many ppl have prob emailed them rn

[unreal tundra]

ok ask reddit

[heady rune]

https://registrar.ucsd.edu/studentlink/admitfaqnfrswait.pdf

[wispy hawk]

@lusty mesa how was your waitlist process like? Did you just opt in?

[lusty mesa]

2011 💀

[heady rune]

oh

💀

maybe they havent changed

[unreal tundra]

wait benz

when u got accepted wl

was there a new letter on ur portal

or did they just email u

[lusty mesa]

New letter

[sly bear]

after a year is it easier to transfer from lets say UCSD to UCLA or berk

[hardy forge]

did every one get a waitlist option if they got rejected?

[unreal tundra]

if u got rejected that means u got rejected...

there is no wl

for rejects

[hardy forge]

oooo ok good

I got waitlisted then

[crisp wolf]

june 30th......

holy hell......

[hardy forge]

hu

[crisp wolf]

that's when waitlist decisions come out

rela

[hardy forge]

💀 oh hell na

but like at that point dont I already have to pick a college?

[crisp wolf]

yep

[hardy forge]

so its ucsd or nothing

[crisp wolf]

gamble pretty much

yeah

[hardy forge]

bruh lol

I guess no ucsd for me

[crisp wolf]

same lol

[stuck drum]

it's not, you would commit to a college first and then if u get into ucsd you would make the decision to withdraw from the college you committed to and go to ucsd or turn down the ucsd acceptance

[unreal tundra]

by*

[crisp wolf]

oh real

[unreal tundra]

benz got his mid may i think

[wispy hawk]

Yo Benz, what I meant is if you wrote an appeal letter for UCSD or not

[gentle raven]

I got wl. Btw what’s the acceptance rate of wl in SD

[hasty spear]

ur mom

[cold blade]

Is anyone able to open the portal?

[lusty mesa]

UC to UC transfer is always difficult

Mainly bc UCs prioritize California CC to UC students bc they aren’t alr on a 4 year program

[halcyon fox]

ucsd y’all didn’t have to wl me like that

[hasty spear]

Since transferring into ce seems impossible i dont think i will be a triton

[halcyon fox]

hi guys i have a question

is getting out of ucsd waitlist (bio major) that hard?

[rain spire]

Where do I get to see which college?

[carmine saffron]

transferring to ucs are basically gaurenteed from ccs

but imma go to ucsd

if i wanna transfer i will but i’m pretty sure i’ll like it

[halcyon fox]

good on you adrian

[carmine saffron]

thank you homie

[turbid briar]

Is there a UCSD class of 2027 server 😳

That prospectives can join

[halcyon fox]

anytime bro u deserve it

[carmine saffron]

thank you i hope you get off the waitlist

funny thing is i last minute applied to ucsd instead of ucr 💀

i’m glad i changed it cause i didn’t get into both of my top choices

they didn’t outright reject you so you have hope 🙂

[split plover]

anyone know success rate of appeals?

[rigid osprey]

Low

:(

[unreal tundra]

@lusty mesa how do I find my admissions counselor for ucsd

[glass cipher]

Are u guys sending LOCI

For waitlist people

[vapid aspen]

tbh

what are the chances to get off the wl for ds

[modern parrot]

chances of getting off waitlist for poli sci?

[lusty mesa]

U can’t

[unreal tundra]

then i just email this [email protected] right

[lusty mesa]

Yea

Ur gonna get an automatic response tho

[gentle hamlet]

yo benz where on campus can i get myself a hoodie

[lusty mesa]

The bookstore

[unreal tundra]

im gonna wait a week and email them

[lusty mesa]

Go on Friday and you can get 10% off

[unreal tundra]

cuz u said they probably are backlogged

and my email is not too important

[lusty mesa]

If u pull up wearing ucsd merch

But idk if u alr have any

[zealous coral]

Cds says 0 ppl accepted off ucsd waitlist last yr

Rough

[unreal tundra]

first off last last year

2nd they over enrolled

every since i feel ucsd is more conservative with admits

[verbal ether]

my year, we overenrolled

by a lot 💀

[gentle hamlet]

i got nothing, do i still get a friday discount

[verbal ether]

2nd years got fucked over

[unreal tundra]

no just wl more

[verbal ether]

when i got in we got a discount code lol

[zealous coral]

Oh 💀

[autumn briar]

[verbal ether]

[zealous coral]

They haven’t posted last yrs

I See

[gentle hamlet]

[autumn briar]

[verbal ether]

they sent it in april i think

[gentle hamlet]

oh ok

[autumn briar]

i mean i have uiuc cs but id rather be in state

[verbal ether]

ya this promo code expired but like i got a discount with it

[gentle hamlet]

omw to try "NEWTRITON23"

[lusty mesa]

“Just wear blue and gold or hold this ad”

But it does say spirit Friday.. idk if that makes a difference

[unreal tundra]

do people on campus celebrate decision day

or is it just a reg day

[gentle hamlet]

10% off a hoodie is like $5 so idk

[lusty mesa]

Bookstore should be restocking soon

Tons of new designs and color ways

[gentle hamlet]

i'm only going now because my parents' friend gave me a red envelope with $200

[verbal ether]

reg day tho my friends cared cause their siblings applied

[gentle hamlet]

i would not be caught dead wearing 'ucsd computer science' merch lmfaoooooo

that's like instant woman repellent

[lusty mesa]

I see tons of ppl here sporting the CSE long sleeve

Even my roomate

It’s more of a flex here ngl

[lusty mesa]

Maybe for triton welcome week

[zealous coral]

Bruh all these dumb admitted days are on different weekends and I can only fly down to socal once 💀

Sd gives Merch tho

Right

[lusty mesa]

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/8cc0up/what_free_merch_did_you_get_at_triton_day/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

[zealous coral]

Oh dot dot dot

So I actually will not be going then

[verbal ether]

me when i ddit have triton day 😔

[zealous coral]

They also gave me seventh which is dumb

It’s like so far from main campus

Aren’t they closer to a gym though? Idk

[glass cipher]

Do u get ur major if u get off waitlist

Or do they give u something else

[verbal ether]

yea

rimac

[glass cipher]

Like undeclared

[verbal ether]

rimac based

also u can bus to warren or sixth p fast its not that bad

[lusty mesa]

Ur on the WL for ur major

[glass cipher]

Thank u

[unreal tundra]

wait does the wl notif come by 6/1 or 6/30

cuz guest sent the thing and it said 6/1

[autumn briar]

can i change my major on the waitlist from CS to data science

[unreal tundra]

but its 10 years old

[heady rune]

12*

[unreal tundra]

whatever

[lusty mesa]

By June 30, final decisions will be released to applicants who opt in to the waitlist.
https://admissions.ucsd.edu/first-year/application-timeline.html

[lusty mesa]

probably not

also DS is now capped at ucsd, so it wouldnt help

[autumn briar]

ah rip

ty tho

[molten wharf]

nevermind imn capping lol

thats MIT that i was thinking about

[hasty spear]

Ay we get apartment style housing though

[lavish nimbus]

data science is capped?

wait i ate

[hasty spear]

Suck my dick

[verbal ether]

your towers have good views im

o

[gentle hamlet]

@lusty mesa i'm in the ucsd bookstore and they're playing the chainsmokers

[lusty mesa]

amazing

[verbal ether]

The Cafe V music today is…

[bold heron]

@lusty mesa when did u get off the waitlist

[spring wharf]

How is seventh overall (housing/food/GEs/location/vibes overall)?

I’m a data science major and was how good their GEs would match

[hasty spear]

@spring wharf See the pinned images

The apartment style dorms are cool

Seventh supremacy ong

[spring wharf]

Okok so it’s basically a good college overall

[hasty spear]

As stated before the GEs are pretty easy

[spring wharf]

Idk i looked at the distance from everything else on campus and sorta freaked

But ig not too bad

[hasty spear]

Yeah its hella far from everything but like apartment style living is worth it

[carmine saffron]

imma get a biker

bike*

[lusty mesa]

i got off on May 26th

[bold heron]

Do yk if around that time is when other uc release wl

[carmine saffron]

how do waitlists work beacause isn’t the admission deadline on may 1st

are u supposed to put life on hold for one college

[spring wharf]

No you need to commit to a collège by may 1st

[carmine saffron]

oh?

[bold heron]

Then commit to that a college if u get off their waitlist later and withdraw from ur current one

[spring wharf]

And if you get off the waitlist after that and choose to go there
You lose your deposit at the first college you commîted to and can then shift to the waitlist one

[bold heron]

Yeah that

[carmine saffron]

oh

that’s what i mean i wouldnt have enough to just loose 3-500$

[spring wharf]

Yep
Basically waitlists are like your backup backup

[carmine saffron]

crazy

[spring wharf]

College admissions in a nutshell 💀

[carmine saffron]

i might as well be first gen my mom went to cc then csun online and knows nothing abt college

😭

[halcyon fox]

and u went fall right?

guyys can i commit to a uni

then like change my uni if i get off waitlist

shiii

[spring wharf]

Yeah that’s how waitlists work

[stuck drum]

*however when u commit you need to pay like $250

[halcyon fox]

ITS FINE ILL MAKE IT HAPPEN THEN ILL SELL SOMETHING I OWN OR IDK

[stuck drum]

and you will lose that money if you decide to withdraw from your commitment

[halcyon fox]

omg theres still hope for ucsd?

but they admitted 0 from wl last year right?

🔫

[spring wharf]

Nah benz got in right?

[halcyon fox]

2 years ago i think

NVM LAST YEAR IM SO DUMB

[lusty mesa]

Yes I’m at ucsd rn

[halcyon fox]

i lvoe you benz

[lusty mesa]

Last year they did not admit 0

They admitted 0 during the 2021-2022 year bc they overenrolled

[halcyon fox]

but like problem is i have military service for 1 year, soooo, i have to get a deferral asap, so can i like pull out of a uni after i have my deferral approved

hmmmm

ill see

thank you guys

[heady rune]

i wonder what the acceptance rate was this year

[ocean ingot]

Unfortunately ucsd is not giving me a dime for oos cs

[verbal ether]

23.8% for fall 2022
30something% for fall 2021

i rmember it being 38%?

[carmine saffron]

i’m so sorry bro i wish we could trade

benz do you know if i could double major in icam and comp sci?

ik they don’t want to allow ppl in cs

[lusty mesa]

which one did u get in for?

[unreal tundra]

benjamin??? i thought it was ben.

[hasty spear]

I feel like this year was on the higher side

Higher 30s

[unreal tundra]

no

they received similar amounts of apps to last year

why would the ar be higher

espscially why would it be in the high 30s???

[hasty spear]

*mid 30s

Oh well

[unreal tundra]

low 20s

[lusty mesa]

My full name is Benjamin

Ben is shorthand

and no, my last name doesnt start with a Z

[unreal tundra]

ik

well ur uc davis thing said ben

so i assumed it was ben

[lusty mesa]

yea it did

the uc app had a preferred name thing tho

like what would u like to be called

or something like that

[unreal tundra]

benz

[lusty mesa]

that wouldve been cool

opening a letter that said Congrats Benz

[gentle hamlet]

me typing in xx_n00bslayer_xx

[unreal tundra]

was it possible it could have been a rejection

or do they send rejections in late june only

[lusty mesa]

yea i was really scared honestly

bc ucsd historically only sends 2 waves of WL acceptances

2 waves had alr happened, so i went in knowing it was prob gonna be a rejection

[unreal tundra]

oh

[lusty mesa]

but for some reason they had 3 waves during my cycle

[gentle hamlet]

mashallah benz was not rejected

[unreal tundra]

so will it likely be 2 or 3 waves this cycle

when was the first wave

[lusty mesa]

depends on the yield

[hasty spear]

Benzamin

[unreal tundra]

i hope they have poor yield 🙂

[gentle hamlet]

i feel like i might've been a yield admit

[hasty spear]

Fax

[lusty mesa]

SD feeder

[gentle hamlet]

they see how much i go on ucsd's website and are like "yeah this guy is def coming"

[lusty mesa]

if only they tracked demonstrated interest...

[gentle hamlet]

or maybe it was like

"ucla and ucb would never let this guy in let's help a mf out"

man, the sheer emotional turmoil i had before yesterday

[lusty mesa]

must be nice

[unreal tundra]

does accepting the wl early show demonstrated interest lol

[lusty mesa]

i mean

sure

its kinda a last straw thing

[unreal tundra]

how is it compared to other ges

good or bad

[lusty mesa]

on par with 6th and 7th

[unreal tundra]

oh so its really good

cuz 6th is good

[high wren]

wait for UCSD, do people on average take 3 classes per quarter?

[lusty mesa]

4 classes, which is about 16 units

In case u wanted to check what ur four year plan might look like
https://plans.ucsd.edu/

[high wren]

thank you! btw, are you in erc college?

[lusty mesa]

Yes

[high wren]

is mmw really that bad and difficult?

[lusty mesa]

its not the worst

its just annoying

you'll get thru it

[high wren]

do you know how far of a walk the erc dorms and apartments are from where most classes are held?

[hasty spear]

Whos dick in the cse department do i gotta suck

[lusty mesa]

its about a mile from the library, which is the center of campus

the campus is 2x the size of disneyland

1,200 acres

[high wren]

ooooh I see thank you 🙂

[lusty mesa]

Yea the classes are pretty spread apart tbh

[unreal tundra]

benz do u bike

or walk

[lusty mesa]

Ur classes might be in 6th, Marshall, Muir, revelle, or warren

[unreal tundra]

or is there some bus

[lusty mesa]

No classes in erc or seventh

Or actually maybe ur MMW discussion might be in erc

[lusty mesa]

I got a bike this quarter

They also have a bus

Which is free and stops at each college

[unreal tundra]

i saw the vid of a bike thief on reddit

at ucsd

posted a few years ago

[lusty mesa]

It’s fucking crazy

[unreal tundra]

are there still bike thieves

[lusty mesa]

The dude in front of Geisel with a fucking saw

And sparks flying everywhere

[gentle hamlet]

man imma just fucking walk

[lusty mesa]

And then another dude decided to fight a guy who was stealing a bike

Ppl wanted to name him the next provost of 8th college

a true hero

[unreal tundra]

wait what college r u

[gentle hamlet]

muir

[unreal tundra]

i think warren is extremely close to the library right benz

[gentle hamlet]

lowkey, i chose muir because i didn't actually think i'd get cse

if i knew i would have picked warren

[unreal tundra]

ur college choice have no impact on ur admissions decision

i put warren first choice

[edgy eagle]

Is muir not good though?

I got in muir..

[gentle hamlet]

no but like
warren is better for engineering

my alt was applied math

and muir is like next to the applied math building

[unreal tundra]

i lucked out cuz i put everything randomly lol

so i just happened to put warren first

[edgy eagle]

Ohh

[unreal tundra]

oh ok

[gentle hamlet]

a2c baited me into thinking cse was impossible

but i am more than happy to have muir - as far as ucsd acceptances go, this is pretty much the dream

[hasty spear]

I would suck ur dick if i could be cae

Cse

[gentle hamlet]

i'm cse: computer engineering

[hasty spear]

Congratulations bro this is a huge achievement

You are him

[gentle hamlet]

i am still so ecstatic

thank you

[hasty spear]

I didnt get into ce and now im have an existential crisis lmao

[gentle hamlet]

what happened?

[hasty spear]

I thought i would be chilling if i got into any uc

But now i have to review my options for schools since im deadset on ce lol

[plush flower]

if it helps, I have a cousin who grad'd cse recently and he said:

literally same major as cs, you take 4 extra courses in ee.

[gentle hamlet]

oh no lol i explicitly wanted ce

it was my first choice major because i fw hardware

[hasty spear]

My primary ec was computer hardware assembly n shit lol and i had a whole piq dedicated to it

[gentle hamlet]

ec wise my profile was pretty trash

but i'm an ftc robotics kid so i guess that's as ce as it gets

[hasty spear]

Frr

Did u write any piqs about hardware or anything

[gentle hamlet]

yeah

i chose the favorite subject prompt for ce

and i actually never mentioned robotics at all in it

[hasty spear]

My creativity prompt was about me building computers out of garbage 💀

[gentle hamlet]

i fw that

my friends do that with old dell pc's on the street all the time

one time we tried to use toothpaste as thermal paste- did not work

[hasty spear]

Reminds me of that one guys youtube shorts

Where he tests random shit as thermal paste

[lusty mesa]

Yep

[gentle hamlet]

thermal paste mid

just use cpu as stove

[hasty spear]

Thermal paste as snack

[gentle hamlet]

real

[hasty spear]

Based even

What was ur stem coursework like in hs

[stone badge]

does ucsd take loci for waitlists or nah

[lusty mesa]

No locis

[stone badge]

gotcha

[hasty spear]

Send a picture of you doing a money spread

New and compelling information about ur character ^

[stone badge]

truee

[gentle hamlet]

pretty light but my school in general is pretty light
i'm in an engineering elective pathway which is honors and just a bunch of random shit with cad and circuits etc

on a more standard level: honors precalc honors chem (10) ap calculus ab, ap physics 1 (11) de calc 1-2, ap biology (12)

[hasty spear]

Wow My stem coursework was pretty non-existent

Took an audio engineering pathway for 3 years but my dumbass forgot to put it on the activities list

[gentle hamlet]

bbbbbbruh

honestly i'm wondering if there were activities i did freshman year that i forgot since covid

that whole time was an absolute blur

[verbal ether]

me spending my whole day in the same academic building

[gentle hamlet]

finals grindset?

[verbal ether]

yea im dying cause have a C in a class and dont rly want a C post final 💀

[gentle hamlet]

well goodluck

i wanna meet up with my buddies on campus after finals and before they head home for spring break

get intel on the best places to eat and study on campus

[verbal ether]

i am going home the day after my last final 💀

and coming back to campus midway thru spring break

cause my best friend's graduating and we wanna knock out a hike or 2

[high wren]

I know this is kind of late, but does anyone know what college is fitting for a sociology major? like does erc overlap with that? since I know warren is good for engineering.

[gentle hamlet]

oooooh where, torrey pines?

[verbal ether]

uh we wanna go to potato chip lol

and i need to take him to torrey pines cause ive gone like 3 times and he hasnt 💀

[gentle hamlet]

have u been to annie's canyon lol i went with an org and it was rly fun except i got sand all over my sweatshirt

and mosquito bites 💀

[gentle hamlet]

that's all the way in solana beach, idk if i've been

idk i've spent plenty of times in canyons

just not that particular one

[verbal ether]

everything here is a canyon even tho im like is this rly a canyon

[gentle hamlet]

i fw the beaches though

lj shores, lj cove, mission beach

[lusty mesa]

idk about overlap, bit erc is known for humanities

[carmine saffron]

icam

[lusty mesa]

i dont think u can double major CS and ICAM

especially since u didnt get in for CS

[carmine saffron]

@lusty mesa so no double major with cs and icam?

damnnn

that’s so sickening

[lusty mesa]

maybe icam and cogs

[carmine saffron]

i heard abt that but i know nothing abt cog sci

[lusty mesa]

look into it

[carmine saffron]

i know it’s abt brains

[lusty mesa]

https://cogsci.ucsd.edu/undergraduates/major/index.html

u can go into design and interaction

or ML

those kinda align with ICAM

[carmine saffron]

ohh

design and interaction seems good

i’m tryna do game design

[lusty mesa]

nice

yea cogs might be a good choice

[carmine saffron]

thank you benz 🙏🏽

imma look into it more it seems interesting

i lowk just want a b.a. and b.s.

[lusty mesa]

i was looking into Cogs originallyt

since i was somewhat interested in UI/UX

and the whole design sector

its an interesting major for sure

[thin locust]

yooooooo

cogsci is best

[thin locust]

much more than brains

[carmine saffron]

ohh well that’s the only part i know abt cause i only saw a short video

[thin locust]

i am so sad im not doing cogsci at ucsd

[carmine saffron]

i’m trying to figure out if a computing in the arts degree even counts as a computer science like degree

i eventually wanna work at naughty dog or a game design company but idk if i should do ucsd or ucsc frfr

or maybe appeal at uc irvine

[hasty spear]

Ucsd for sure

[lusty mesa]

ucsd > ucsc

thats a no brainer

u can always minor in CS as well iirc, though its rough getting classes

[heady rune]

@lusty mesa would u pick ucsb over ucsd if u had the chance

im curious

[unreal tundra]

major?

personally i would not

[lusty mesa]

yea

[heady rune]

poli sci in my case, definitely attending law school if that changes anything

[heady rune]

oh

[unreal tundra]

for engineering i would pick ucsd over ucsb

ucsd is 3rd best uc for engineering imo

[carmine saffron]

only reason i’m stuck is because ucsc has the ninth or tenth best game design in the uc

us*

ucsd doesn’t have game design tho 😭

[stuck drum]

me a year ago would have chosen sd over sb if i could but knowing what i know now i'd pick sb

[wary mason]

9th or 10th out of the UC’s would be funny though

ranks 9 out of 8

[sly bear]

@verbal ether which ver of CE are u in

[verbal ether]

ECE

theyre the same degree program tho!

[sly bear]

so every class are the same

[verbal ether]

yea

[sly bear]

hows eighth college btw. i had it ranked #4 on my list

was surprised i didnt get my top 3 choices but whatever

@verbal ether

[verbal ether]

i think the dorms look cool

idk its nw

*nw

*new

sorry my e key was stuck lol

[sly bear]

is there a "objectively" better dorm in the ucsd culture

[sly bear]

so that means no termites in my dorm?

lol

[verbal ether]

hopefully not <3

[weak kiln]

bc it’s the audacity of csu la jolla to waitlist me when ucla accepted 😭

lit rally so 😀

[analog pond]

hey y’all i need some help, i’m tryna go for Doctoral Program eventually so should I stay in san diego and go to CC and transfer UCSD so I can keep my internship at scripps or go to Davis

[plush flower]

CC and transfer UCSD so I can keep my internship at scripps
I think ur fine to go to davis after you've published your paper

[heady rune]

is there a ucsd discord for class of 2027

[analog pond]

oooo ok i see does davis have good labs

[plush flower]

I don't know off the top of my head 😭 , but I think Davis is pretty good at bio/med!

[lusty mesa]

Only the erc res halls have mites

[lusty mesa]

There is but nobody is in it

Maybe I’ll make it over the break

[novel vale]

is it possible to move colleges before going to UCSD?

[plush flower]

no

[verbal ether]

no the discord mod who owns like 5 ucsd discord servers wont approve 💀

[lusty mesa]

i was holding off bc ik they're probably gonna cockblock me

[high wren]

can anyone see their cal grant award on their estimated financial aid page on the UCSD portal yet? bc for me it says $0 although I applied for it.

[carmine saffron]

i wanna join one

[spring wharf]

same lmao

[carmine saffron]

https://mygrantinfo.csac.ca.gov/

[hasty spear]

Hows santa Barbara for engineering

Ive heard theyre not the best but theyre also not the worst

[blazing girder]

anyone have a discord for class of 2027

[turbid briar]

Fr someone send the link pls

[sacred fractal]

yea

is there one

[blazing girder]

🙏🙏

[hasty spear]

Should i go sjsu for Computer engineering where I've already been accepted or go to UCSD and try to transfer into the ECE Comp engineering program

[lusty mesa]

i just uploaded the class of 27 discord to the ucsd hub

[hasty spear]

SJSU is a great school for engineering but UCSD lol

[blazing girder]

where can i find the student hub

[lusty mesa]

u have to commit

and login with ur student email

[blazing girder]

oh

bruh

rip

ok

fair enough

[lusty mesa]

if u want the invite just dm me

i dont think anyone wants to join this tho lmao

[blazing girder]

oh 💀💀💀

i’ll ask later

prolly

thx

[lusty mesa]

theres 0 ppl in it

sooooooo

yea

[blazing girder]

oh 💀💀💀😭😭

[lusty mesa]

if anyone wants to help me set it up and get it up and running, im open

[carmine saffron]

do y’all think if i don’t pass my aps the college will take away my acceptance?

or do they just want my scores for classes

when i enroll

[lusty mesa]

AP scores arent a major factor

just dont fail the classes

[pastel inlet]

I applied to UCSD as comp sci major and got accepted as Undeclared. Is it possible that I can still transfer into comp sci or how does it work

[hasty spear]

Ur out of luck sadly 😭

[pastel inlet]

can u plz send me the link to that

[hasty spear]

Its in the ucsd subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/11u1299/welcome_new_tritons_please_use_this_megathread_to/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[carmine saffron]

alr purr ty

[pastel inlet]

thanks

[hasty spear]

Everyones saying just go somewhere else if ur deadset on cs/ce

[north kite]

How hard is it to get into cs compared to math-cs

[nocturne scarab]

math cs isn’t impacted i believe so much harder

[north kite]

But like education wise, math-cs can take the same classes right?

Just might be enrolment issues

[lusty mesa]

ok

my discord is actually taking off

ppl are actually joining

u can find the link on the ucsd sub

[verbal ether]

Mostly but there’s some CS classes restricted to majors from CS, CE, and Bioinfo

Bioinfo in CSE

[lusty mesa]

WE GOT ROLES

So exciting

SHEEEESHHH

[jade onyx]

how do i join lol

[halcyon fox]

inshallah waitlist comes through with a W 🥶

[lusty mesa]

i can link u

[jade onyx]

yea pls

[lusty mesa]

its brand new

but theres actually activity

ppl from the other class servers have joined

"advisors"

[unreal tundra]

are waitlisted people allowed to join

[lusty mesa]

no

[trail violet]

if i got in for first major

can i change to 2nd major

i got in for first choice major

but i think i want 2nd now

oh wrong thread

i thought this was uci

[lusty mesa]

is the 2nd major capped

[trail violet]

probably it is cs

[static field]

@lusty mesa do you need to be verified

to join

or can an outsider join for questions

[unreal tundra]

waitlisted people cannot join...

[static field]

p sure I was asking benz and not you; I'm deciding on transferring and am thinking about asking UCSD students for advice, no harm no foul in asking :)

[crisp wolf]

goodluck lol

[static field]

ty

[unreal tundra]

my point was if wl people cannot join. i dont think outsiders can join either.

[static field]

and my point was I was asking benz not you :)

[unreal tundra]

thanks for the sass

[static field]

if they say no I'll just ask questions here

[static field]

not being sassy just being honest

[lusty mesa]

yea feel free to join

birb u can join too

[static field]

send link in DM?

[lusty mesa]

alr

[static field]

@unreal tundra see if u shoot ur shot good things happen

[unreal tundra]

i did and benz rejected me

but now he accepted me 🙂

[static field]

try try again

[lusty mesa]

just dont spam my name

[static field]

nvm ucsd doesn't have exactly what I want which is rlly a shame

[lusty mesa]

im sorry 😢

[static field]

crossing out SD on my list

[gentle hamlet]

ion see it

[indigo axle]

can i get link to ucsd ‘27 discord

[gentle hamlet]

admitted students discord: https://redd.it/11vdtlj

[indigo axle]

thanks

[night aurora]

Hey all, does anyone know the UCSD admissions stats for 2023?

[gentle hamlet]

just committed 😎

[verbal ether]

So based. Welcomeee

[lusty mesa]

Keybored for server owner!!

[gentle hamlet]

i'm still waiting on a decision from ucsb and ucb but the chances of me getting better finaid there are nil

time to make the nick official

[lusty mesa]

Time to get verified

[floral patio]

ucsd or ucla comp sci

[heady rune]

cant really go wrong with either, sd is more suburban, la is big city vibe

la prolly ranked a bit higher tho

[pulsar bluff]

anyone get math-cs at ucsd?

[north kite]

Yes i did

[pulsar bluff]

did u get any of the other uc's for cs? I got davis for cse and im debating whether to go to ucsd for math-cs or davis for cse.

[hasty spear]

Math cs is NOT THE SAME AS A CSE DEGREE

[stiff gull]

does ucsd still@# require masks?

[lusty mesa]

nope

they are recommended though

[stiff gull]

oh i see

[stiff gull]

wait is it true i have to get the flu vaccine every year?

[lusty mesa]

Idk for sure

[deep bone]

does anyone know acceptance rate for maths + cs

ik its not capped but ya

[heady rune]

Higher than 0%

[deep bone]

yea ahaha

[gentle hamlet]

if you put math+cs as your main

the only way to not get it is to be rejected

[heady rune]

But less than 100%

[deep bone]

it was my second choice major but they let me in so yea

[gentle hamlet]

if you're already a ucsd student the acceptance rate is 100%

[deep bone]

nah freshman

idk bc idk where ppl find all those stats

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd doesn't release acceptance rates by major

and it doesn't really matter because declared major is not considered in the admissions process

[deep bone]

ahh okk thx

[random pagoda]

Just out of interest, in terms of “socially dead” how much does it live up to that stereotype?

[hasty spear]

Uncapped majors are 100% acceptance rate lol

[nocturne scarab]

my brother watched this happen

[lusty mesa]

lucky man

[nocturne scarab]

not true

[stuck drum]

nah they can't force you but its highly recommended

i didn't get my flu vaccine because i had covide like a week before they were giving them out

[high wren]

wait is there a break after each quarter for ucsd?

[lusty mesa]

yes

[high wren]

do you know around how many days?

[sly bear]

did anyone else here get eighth college

can anyone gimme any details about eighth college

[plush flower]

its ok from what I know

6 7 8 also have newer dorms so its like an actual apartment

[sly bear]

nah the communal br and everything finna get trashed

within a month

XD

[plush flower]

find good roomates

stoopid

[sly bear]

wdym the whole floor gotta behave

[plush flower]

@lusty mesa mr ben iirc u said ur roomate is a druggie?

[sly bear]

since its communal

[plush flower]

or just a frat kid

[lusty mesa]

thanksgiving/spring break is 1 week

winter break though is like a month long

[lusty mesa]

alcoholic

[sly bear]

the only thing that varies between the colleges are just GEs right?

[high wren]

wait Benz, do we need to commit to join your discord for 2027?

[lusty mesa]

no u can join

[plush flower]

and dorm

[sly bear]

are u req to stay in ur dorm all 4 yrs

i rather live on my own

[plush flower]

u get kicked after ur first year

LMAO

at all UCs

[high wren]

is there a link?

[sly bear]

then why do they bother making an elaborate college system

sounds stupid

[plush flower]

to be quirky

and GEs

[lusty mesa]

.

[lusty mesa]

thats the link

[sly bear]

they should just have 1 GE system idk whats the point in having such a diff in GEs from one college to another

[gentle hamlet]

go ahead and pin tbh

[plush flower]

mushroom man whats the philosophy

[high wren]

thanks 🙂

[lusty mesa]

Promoting servers isn’t allowed

Gotta be careful

Plus the link will expire in a week

[gentle hamlet]

true dat

[sly bear]

"Four college-specific engagement courses will examine communities, critical engagement, and structural racism."

man i ain tryna learn about social issues and racism

bruh

[stiff gull]

is warren good or no

[lusty mesa]

its mid

[sly bear]

whats the general consensus about eighth even though no one hasnt lived in it

[lusty mesa]

its on par with 6th and 7th

GE and housing wise

its chill

[nocturne scarab]

nice

[wispy hawk]

DAMNNN

@lusty mesa May I also join the UCSD server? even tho I got waitlisted

[wispy hawk]

there’s still hope! 🙏

[lusty mesa]

yes

[heady rune]

can I join too?

[lusty mesa]

anyone is welcome to join

[heady rune]

I got waitlisted as well

wait, does anyone know how many people were accepted this year

[lusty mesa]

off the WL?

we dont know yet

bc they havent published last years CDS

[autumn briar]

by any chance do u know if getting out of waitlist for cs is close to impossible cuz we only stats for like total admitted from waitlist right

[lusty mesa]

its not impossible

[autumn briar]

maybe im near the top of the waitlist 🥺

[heady rune]

what is the waitlist acceptance rate for UCSD?

[autumn briar]

u can check the common data set

i think the last year isnt out

the year before that was 0 (overenrollment year)

but before that was

wait what does it mean that they release that info to students but not counselor

s

like if the students know its ranked the counselors know its ranked no?

[plush flower]

@lusty mesa benz was this the year you got in?

[lusty mesa]

no this was the year prior: 2021-2022

my year was 2022-2023

[autumn briar]

which checks out since benz is '26

[verbal ether]

Yea that was my year

[glass cipher]

It says that they tell students their rank on the waitlist. Do u rmember how to check?

[lusty mesa]

They don’t tell u

Ik the CDS says it but they don’t

Maybe email them?

[vapid aspen]

Wait on their website it says the wl isn’t ranked?

[autumn briar]

their cds says it does tho

also like does it make sene sfor it not to be ranked

[high wren]

is this for this year?

[autumn briar]

maybe they say no and i have a 'soft' ranking

[rigid osprey]

Am I allowed to appeal for a waitlist

If I’m waitlisted

[glass cipher]

I’m pretty sure u can only appeal if u reject the waitlist

That’s what UCI says at least

Dunno if that applies UCSD

[rigid osprey]

alrite I’ll check it out

[autumn briar]

@rigid osprey can you lmk what u find out? about appealing on waitlist

i was wondering if i could but didnt see anything abt it

[rigid osprey]

yup

[autumn briar]

tyty

[rigid osprey]

Based on what I’m seeing you can’t

appea

[autumn briar]

oof unlucky

[unreal tundra]

they dont actually rank the waitlist anymore

according the the faq

i think they changed the wl recently to unranked then

either last cycle or this cyle

[unreal tundra]

waitlist cannot be appealed

read the last sentence in the image i sent

[autumn briar]

ok thanks i did

D:

how do they

ch oose ppl of the waitlist then

if its not ranked

[unreal tundra]

idk what an unranked wl even is tbh

a lot of institutions have unranked wl

[gentle hamlet]

maybe they just rng it

[autumn briar]

thats scary

maybe rng by major

[rigid osprey]

did you opt into the waitlist

[lusty mesa]

Eighth College dorms

fun

[hasty spear]

Lots of counter space

[unreal tundra]

yes

why would i not

[unreal tundra]

how many people would live here?

4?

[lusty mesa]

https://hdh.ucsd.edu/housing/docs/6thNTPLLN-Kaleidoscope.pdf

imagine something like this layout

[terse badger]

holy

those dorms are so nice

make me a little envious, becase i got eighth too

that's nicer than my actual room

[deep bone]

i think i saw '8 bedroom dorm' in their website

[turbid briar]

Woah there's a whole ass kitchen

[main hedge]

@lusty mesa

Can I switch from business economics to surgery

Or to computer science before I enter

[glass cipher]

this is probably too difficult to do

it's very hard to switch to CS

[sly bear]

wdym they mean by subject to the cse system

is the cse system's req for accepting applicant a metric fuck ton more difficult

[hasty spear]

Basically

Its virtually impossible to switch into comp sci, ucsd anticipates that there we be no spots for major switches into comp sci

So uh yeah😔

[languid basin]

Do people actually get in through appeals (for rejects) in the past years?

[sly bear]

Dumb if u ask me

Straight gatekeeping no?

Even the cs profs hate the new system

[hasty spear]

😔

[dry shale]

anyone who is currently at ucsd, how is pre-law support there?

[heady rune]

what is the waitlist acceptance rate for UCSD?

[lusty mesa]

i dont think they provide it

[verbal trout]

someone sent this before

also one of my friends just got the fucking jacobs scholarship
