UCSD 🔱 (2022-2023)

[verbal trout]

full ride + housing ☠️☠️

bro might be him

[modest knoll]

This was when they over enrolled tho

It changes every year

[heady rune]

overenrolled yr look at the cds before for more accurate wl

that year it was ~37-38% off wl

co25)

[ocean ingot]

does anyone know if they can rescind if my senior classes are not the same as i put when i applied

my hs schedule is all at CC, and one of the classes for my spring class is full (macroecon)

[blazing girder]

don’t think so

since it’s not smtg in your control

[ocean ingot]

yea true

[blazing girder]

long as grades don’t drop and you didn’t lie through your teeth on ur app i think ur chillin

[ocean ingot]

alright thanks

[heady rune]

i think it should be fine, but you might want ot ask your high school counselor and perhaps also call UCSD just to be safe with it

[lusty mesa]

contact them now with these updates

[ocean ingot]

Do I call the admissions office

Or is it by email

[lusty mesa]

email

or if theres a place for updates in the portal

that would prob be better

[rigid osprey]

If I changed which ap tests I’m taking should I email?

[whole garden]

you guys going to attend the info session?

[jade valley]

do you know if UCSD requires a LOCI for waitlist?

[lusty mesa]

No loci

[lusty mesa]

Yes

[hasty spear]

U can still send one if u want

[main hedge]

CS isn’t capped

It’s data science

[lusty mesa]

CS is most definitely capped lmao

crazy seeing those words in the U[CS]D thread lmao

[main hedge]

Ain’t no way CS is good in ucsd

That’s just UCB at best

[stuck drum]

?

[lusty mesa]

goofy

[main hedge]

Internationally

They’re not well known at all

UCI, UCSD, UCSB etc

For CS

[lusty mesa]

who do u think u are

[main hedge]

An international student

[stuck drum]

just because something isn't well known doesn't mean it's not good

[plush flower]

benz is math capped

no right?

[unreal tundra]

lemme make it clear to u this guy believed the ivies were only good because of their ahtletic status

so what he is saying seems right for his character

[lusty mesa]

i think ur a clown

[lusty mesa]

no

[stuck drum]

might as well not apply if u think it's so bad and leave space for someone who actually wants to go 🤷

[fervent shadow]

The only schools my family out of the country knows is like mit, ucla, and harvard

[plush flower]

lmao I also did not know econ was capped

[lusty mesa]

i dont think it is

at least at ucsd

[plush flower]

oh nvm its not capped

I am so sad!

[glass cipher]

i'm pretty sure UCSD is a top 10 CS school 😭

and CS is basically capped at almost every top school

[fervent shadow]

ucsd doesnt even let me do undeclared engineering

[unreal tundra]

what college did u get into at ucsd

[main hedge]

Sorry

[fervent shadow]

overall university

[main hedge]

Gonna have to disappoint you

[fervent shadow]

not any college

[main hedge]

It’s not even close

[unreal tundra]

it should say which college

like u ranked

them

[fervent shadow]

oh that weird thing

[unreal tundra]

its not weird

[fervent shadow]

6th which was my first choice

[unreal tundra]

it is where u will live

[unreal tundra]

yea that the best one

[fervent shadow]

they cant even name their colleges with a name

[unreal tundra]

but u not going fs right

[fervent shadow]

yep theres no gaurentee I can do engineering

[stuck drum]

broski why are u even in this channel

[lusty mesa]

aint no way 💀

topuni . com

[unreal tundra]

wait then what did it say

undeclared major?

[fervent shadow]

its pretty well reputed out of us

[unreal tundra]

i feel that is worse than a waitlist then

at least imo

[fervent shadow]

yep

[lusty mesa]

its a first for me

US News is still the benchmark

[fervent shadow]

thats for in the us

[lusty mesa]

the day US news expands internationally...

[fervent shadow]

imo it is. the undeclared majors I can commit to have nothing to do with my interests

[molten wharf]

random as hell but come on bro

[unreal tundra]

wait benz

[lusty mesa]

yea

[unreal tundra]

can waitlist people get undeclared too

[lusty mesa]

idk maybe?

doesnt that defeat the point of the WL tho?

ur in line for a spot for ur major

not in line for undeclared

[unreal tundra]

yea tru

but they gave people undeclared instead of waitlisting them so....

they could have just waitlisted them too

[lusty mesa]

yea

but bc theyre undeclared, the offer might look less appealing

[fervent shadow]

they are trying to bring the yield down or something

[unreal tundra]

well good thing i got waitlisted instead of undeclared 😄

[plush flower]

im pretty sure 99% of cs kids are not gonna take undecalred lmao

[fervent shadow]

make that all engineering kids bcs engineering itself aint an option

[unreal tundra]

https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/capped-majors.html

so if u got undeclared

i think u can declare anything except for those majors

[plush flower]

bro how is physics capped at ucsd

oh shit i accidentally made contact with the homeless guy outside

send help

[lapis fossil]

that's crazy

i didn't know chemical engineering was capped

:0

[rigid osprey]

i should just email all my schools rn u think? i only am not taking 1 that i put as "planned"

[daring lily]

weird question: does anyone know where I could find the class size for different majors? any stats from the last few years would be great

[gentle hamlet]

every engineering major is capped

[high wren]

for anyone attending ucsd, do you have to wait really long to eat food at the dining halls or reserve your spot?

[hasty spear]

Did anyone apply for the eop program?

[daring lily]

@lusty mesa ^

also im probably gonna go to UCSD for theatre! got into seventh, i kknow this server skews male, but if any other seventh girlies are looking for a roommate i would love to chat

[hasty spear]

Ayy Im in seventh too

[daring lily]

nice!

its lookin like my top school rn and im very excited

[hasty spear]

Quack

[lusty mesa]

WOW thats amazing!

COngrats!!

Def join the CO 27 discord, keybored is running it and its endorsed by the r/ucsd sub

#1050860010827173898 message

[daring lily]

Thanks for the link!

Yeah I'm liking the program so far so UCSD is where I'm skewing

I know the school doesn't have much of a focus on the arts so that's my main concern

But I know the school's theatre department is pretty highly ranked and they have a lot of connections with local regional theatres so that's a huge plus

[lapis fossil]

at san diego or every UC?

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd for sure

[cloud pollen]

Is it possible to get in undelared and choose a capped major

[stoic veldt]

I am planning to major in neurobiology but I don't know which college will be the best. Any suggestions?

[north kite]

if you get accepted into your first choice major, you don't get evaluated for ur 2nd choice right

[blazing girder]

arent decisions out alr

oh

nvm

not hs senior

nvm

[rose iris]

i got waitlisted at ucsd lol

is anyone else doing data science here

[vapid aspen]

Yup wl for ds

[rose iris]

hm

ok

[spring wharf]

Yeah I got in for ds

[gentle raven]

Me , got wl

But accepted uci ucd and sb data sci

[hasty spear]

Bro is gim

Or her

[blazing girder]

lol

[sly bear]

can i get someone to run up the stats

what's the acceptance rate for ECE: CE?

does anyone know?

[plush flower]

I think its only ucb dawg

[hasty spear]

I have no idea where i got this but i jave it

@sly bear

[sly bear]

damn no way CSE CS is 16% and i didnt bag it. oh well lost to rng

i thought i'd be a lot lower considering UCI CS is 5%

[hasty spear]

Its a lottery system

So u fr lost to rng

[sly bear]

what year is this data

[hasty spear]

Idk

Someone here sent it

[autumn briar]

wait its like… fr lottery??

thats if u try to switch to the major no

[sly bear]

no way admit rate is that high

[cloud pollen]

dang i shouldnt have picked cse

[gentle hamlet]

well ucsd cse also includes computer engineering

uci cs is in fact 5% but uci computer engineering is quite a ways higher, i think 20% or something

[deep bone]

hi does anyone know if there is a ucsd class of 2027 discord? thx

[lusty mesa]

There is

[deep bone]

do u hv the link?

nvm just checked dm thxx

[plush flower]

what

[plush flower]

should have went ece fr

[plush flower]

@gentle hamlet are you cse or ece

[gentle hamlet]

cse, computer engineering

[verbal ether]

Uh from what I heard my year they took like 18% of admits idk what the star is now

[main hedge]

Isn’t UCSD 30% or so this year - not for CS but everything

[verbal ether]

My year it was 38% this year I expect like 20-25% unless UCSD expects a lower yield rate for some reason

[unreal tundra]

how is the waitlist acceptance rate for ece

ee more specifically

[main hedge]

How does UCSD fair in terms of business economics

Is it not possible to switch to capped majors no matter what

[verbal ether]

U can switch to capped majors…

Just not CS

[sly bear]

is this a no negotiation

[verbal ether]

They’ll have like 1-3 lottery spots per quarter instead of 50

[hasty spear]

@main hedge are u trying to switch to ece ce?

From buisness econ

[verbal ether]

ECE CE is possible

U just need a 3.5 gpa in intro classes

[hasty spear]

Its possible but the grind will be rral

Real

[verbal ether]

I have that :)

It’s not that bad

tho for me ECE carried hardddd

Cause I’m very bad at coding lol

[hasty spear]

Did u take any of the pre req courses in community college?

[verbal ether]

Just AP Calc for Math 20A and 20B I think

Otherwise no

[hasty spear]

Damn i didnt take ap calc this year

I might take math 400 at my cc and transfer the credits

Although my summer will be lowkey trash

[verbal ether]

CSE 11 and 12 are p Easy for most ppl tho I found them hard cause I can’t code well

ECE35 is hard for most people but it was easy for me cause ???

[main hedge]

maybe law or medicine (but I hope I won’t have to)

[main hedge]

What’s CE

Oh computer engineering

[hasty spear]

I got code for shit either 💀

Cant*

[verbal ether]

ECE35 is like circuits

U just do KVL and KCL until u wanna die

[hasty spear]

OH BOY

[plush flower]

why would you need to know this

[verbal ether]

To understand how circuits work ig

Also the phasor stuff helps in signals

[heady rune]

@verbal ether have u taken phys 2cl how is it

[verbal ether]

Noo im gonna take 2C next quarter but I don’t need the lab part

[heady rune]

Is 2c roughly the same as enm

phys c

[verbal ether]

No that’s 2b

2C is optics and waves

[heady rune]

o

Wait then what's 2d

[verbal ether]

quantum

[heady rune]

👹

ok

So I'm prolly just gonna do 2c and 2cl

[verbal ether]

i only need up to 2c i think

yea!

[heady rune]

Revelle ge 😹😹😹

How'd I get into revelle bruh

My opps on me

[verbal ether]

most EE majors also only need up to 2C unless they do photonics depth i think

[heady rune]

For some reason revelle requires up till 2c even if ur not engr

And phys c doesn't cover the lab req so I need to take 1 lab physics

U think 2c is hard

Even though u haven't taken it

[sly bear]

are u actually considering UCSD over USC?

[heady rune]

yeh

[sly bear]

is the main reason cost?

[heady rune]

But I'm still waiting on hella stuff

[heady rune]

cost isnt a major issue cuz I got schollys at USC

[sly bear]

what else are u waiting on

[heady rune]

berk Cornell stanny duke rice

And wait-list at LA

[sly bear]

ur in cali right?

[novel vale]

is your residential college on your letter final

[sly bear]

Yes

[novel vale]

gg then

prolly gonna withdraw

[sly bear]

what'd u get?

[sly bear]

did u atleast get ur primary major

[novel vale]

i got my main major

but at the worst college

[sly bear]

cause unless ur college is THAT bad. no point in withdrawing (unless u got better option already)

[novel vale]

which pissed me off

[sly bear]

ur only gonna live there for 1 yr its fine

[novel vale]

oh relly

[sly bear]

unless the GEs are stupid and u have a lot

[novel vale]

the one i got into has the worst GEs lol

[sly bear]

what college u get into

[novel vale]

which is why i keep hoping i can switch somehow

erc

for engineering

😭

[sly bear]

whats ERC

[sly bear]

whats ur major

[novel vale]

chem eng

[novel vale]

roosevelt

[sly bear]

from what ive heard its not the worst

its not great for eng major but ur GE isnt that bad at face value its just a lot of humanities, foreign culture type classes

[novel vale]

hmm, i see

thanks

[sly bear]

granted i think i ranked ERC as 7th

XD

[verbal ether]

probs not

idk ill lyk in 2 weeks 😭

[high wren]

does anyone know if on-campus housing is guaranteed for all 4 years?

[verbal ether]

2 years

Maybe become 3 soon but at th moment it’s 2 years

[stoic veldt]

Is usc better than ucsd?

[novel vale]

depends on aid

do you want to pay 91k to go to USC?

[blazing girder]

lol Lsc

[stoic veldt]

why is it so expensive tho?

[arctic pilot]

okay random question. I got into UCSD last year to nanoengineering at 6th, took a gap year, re-applied, and got outright rejected this year (I checked my app and realized I didn't select an alternative major but I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on why this might have happened)

[thin locust]

different year

[remote haven]

guys

why did i get into ERC and i put it last

[novel vale]

we were just unfortunate

ranking does provide preference but it doesn't guarantee anything

[lean silo]

Is there a ucsd discord

[lusty mesa]

There is

Did u commit?

[lean silo]

Not yet

[plush flower]

yo what if keybored gets into berk

and then chooses berk

rip ucsd 27 discord

[gentle hamlet]

i would never choose the bay area

[plush flower]

did u apply ivies

[gentle hamlet]

no lol

do you think i'm that smart

[remote haven]

bro the bay area isn’t san diego

that’s ucb and ucsc hello ???

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd's my top choice and i was asked if i would go to berkeley if i got in

to which i say no, because i refuse to go to berkeley because it's in the bay area

[plush flower]

u got regents lmao

there is a non zero chance

[gentle hamlet]

maybe

but i can't really see myself at an ivy

[blazing girder]

W

ucsd is peak

[heady rune]

ucsd is amazing

[void abyss]

it is, and I can’t afford it 😭

[icy trail]

What’s probability for getting admission for a wait-list student at UCSD(undergrad)

[verbal ether]

Between 0 and 1

[jade onyx]

mfs rly made me think i got into berkeley 💀

why tf are u supposed to go to berkeley for ucsd 💀

[honest juniper]

gg

[lusty mesa]

Is this for real

[cloud pollen]

wow i would be pissed

[lavish nimbus]

yes

[lusty mesa]

I thought this was a regional event thing

Wtf

[jade onyx]

yea lol

its just a regional meeting ig

but the berkeley admitted banner scared me lol

[gentle hamlet]

[lusty mesa]

http://ucsdrejects.com/

[umbral karma]

wl'd sd rejected i

[jade onyx]

bruh i got rejected by uci and accepted by ucsd

so it should be ucirejects.com for ucsd

[umbral karma]

fr

[oblique sierra]

HEY GUYS I’m making a GC for the potential UCSD batch! Lmk if you wanna join

[turbid briar]

Whats the Berkley Goggles?

[halcyon fox]

:(

🔫

[heady rune]

U not nacho lil bro

U not him

[half swallow]

has anyone received their acceptance letters at the mail?

[halcyon fox]

ive embodied him

hes my idol

[heady rune]

I should've written my common app essay on nacho

[halcyon fox]

fr he the goat

[modest knoll]

do uc waitlists work on a school by school basis

so if someone were to reject a ucsd offer at my school but I'm waitlisted, would there be a higher chance of me getting off the waitlist

or does it work more generally?

[gentle hamlet]

don't think so

a spot is a spot

no one cares about your hs

[modest knoll]

alr

[wispy hawk]

samee

[wispy hawk]

Can I join the ucsd server?

[lusty mesa]

Ok

[lusty mesa]

gave myself the RA role

[turbid briar]

RA?

[lusty mesa]

Fuck it

Not technically

[turbid briar]

What the fuck is an RA?

[lusty mesa]

Residential Assistant

U babysit the ppl in the dorm

[turbid briar]

Oh i see

[plush flower]

free dorm

[weak kiln]

csu la jolla waitlisting me is so 😵‍💫😵‍💫

like i just don’t think i’ll ever be over that 😭😭

[thin locust]

fr

[jaunty cedar]

anyone know the ucsd waitlist acceptance rate

and ucsb or ucsd?

[lusty mesa]

You can check their common data sets

Note that 2 years ago ucsd took 0 ppl off their waitlist due to over enrollment

Bruh momento

89.98 as my final grade in MMW

[verbal ether]

ii got this in cse100 and got rounded up to an A- 😌

[main hedge]

Damn rip, don’t stress it man you’ll do better next time

We all mess up very badly at times

[lusty mesa]

Logged into YT with the same email you used for the UC app?

Honestly no clue

[lusty mesa]

I’m actually surprised my grade isn’t lower lol

[plush flower]

Yo dawg was this the class where the prof went "Good job ben(z)"

[lusty mesa]

Yea

The same prof who saw my post on Reddit

And the TA who told me she didn’t do the reading 💀

[carmine saffron]

ra’s get single dorms right

but you have to be an upperclassman?

[lusty mesa]

Yes

You can apply for RA starting ur second year

[verbal ether]

IMPORTANT FOR UCSD ADMITS

[supple parrot]

rejected instate cs

[carmine saffron]

so rn class of 27’ cant transfer into it?

[void abyss]

it seems so

[verbal ether]

Yea it appears

Unless you’ve done Lin alg, calc bc w/ 5 and physics c mech w/5 or some equivalent pre college

Cause then u can do ece35 fall quarter and ece45 winter

[carmine saffron]

that is literally crazy

[gentle hamlet]

oh shit

we're both ce majors, this is big

[blazing girder]

did y’all get anything in the mail

cuz i didn’t yet and i live in sd

[gentle hamlet]

no lol

[jaunty cedar]

@warm swallow why’d you choose ucsd over sb and Irvine?

Fellow ucla and Berkeley reject but accepted to all the other ucs

[warm swallow]

sb is a small school and I live super close to UCI so I didn't want to stay close to home

[modern parrot]

UCSD? more like UCS PEE

sorry guys i'm salty i didn't get in

congrats though

[balmy barn]

is there a separate discord for UCSD admits

[floral patio]

^

[lusty mesa]

Yes, UCSD 2027

Visit the UCSD subreddit and check the new triton thread

[gentle hamlet]

idk if i'm allowed to link it this way but you can find it at https://discord.ucsd.edu/l?27

[lusty mesa]

Damn nice url

[gentle hamlet]

yah luna set it up

or rather her friend did

[novel vale]

UCSD the best UC

[candid crag]

is the in person admitted students day only on 4/8?

[verbal ether]

Yea

But u can visit campus whenever it’s really open

Also all the buildings unlocked lol

[lusty mesa]

The invite link should’ve been auto deleted

Need permission to share links

[gentle hamlet]

it does some trickery to not auto redirect i think

you can delete it if you want

[lusty mesa]

Nah

[stray arch]

Anyone got their admitted student packet yet?

[blazing girder]

nope 😭

[dusk hare]

nope

[blazing girder]

they really chose the cheapest method to ship a package

[dry shale]

server link?

[rain spire]

cant we change college in Ucsd?

[gentle hamlet]

you can't

[mossy cairn]

wait so what does this mean if we got in undeclared

[verbal ether]

Can’t be a CE major

Or a CS major

Can still do Math-CS, EE, cogsci, or bioinfo ig tho

[sly bear]

@gentle hamlet weren't you a regent for berk

[warm swallow]

that's a lie

if you get in undeclared, you can do CE/CS

you just have to do really well on the screening courses cause CS/CE/ECE/CSE are some of the most competitive majors on campus

[verbal ether]

After spring 2024 there will be no more spots available to transfer into the ece department’s CE, CSE already had this policy in place as of Spring 2023

[warm swallow]

you can still change Fall 2023

Fall 2023- Spring 2024

[verbal ether]

Unless you’re a freshman who can do ece35 in fall quarter of your first year, you can’t transfer into CE because you won’t be able to do the screening courses in time to apply for spring 2024

I mean like if u somehow can do ece35 in fall 2023 as a freshman all power to you ig, I know some freshman from my 35 class who did it

[warm swallow]

I mean, you could do EE and do CS classes on an EE degree

it's possible

[verbal ether]

Yea you can

You won’t get any CSE priority tho that CE majors like me get

[warm swallow]

eh idc

ChemE is best Engineering

[verbal ether]

Ok

I’m just saying for ppl who wanna do CS or CE there’s like a 95% chance you can’t do those majors

People can do Math-CS, EE, cogs all fine

[warm swallow]

well CS is super competitive

I think CS is an overrated major imo

[verbal ether]

They’re removing the lottery for CS lol and just saying u can’t transfer in

[warm swallow]

yeah too many people to keep track of

all of whom have stellar apps

[verbal ether]

I agree ECE is baseder than CSE

[warm swallow]

NanoE/ChemE > ECE/CSE

most of my CS friends have pretty big egos and are pricks lol

[verbal ether]

Nah I’ll give u them over CSE but I maintain ECE best department fr

[gentle hamlet]

i really do feel like ce is way less competitive than cs

[warm swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-fake-news-gif-11382583

[warm swallow]

yeah cause no one wants to build computers lol

[verbal ether]

Get better friends 😭 idk I somehow know like the 5 normal CE/EE majors 😭

[warm swallow]

coding pays more than building computers lol

[warm swallow]

Do you know Nihal Nazeem?

or Aryan Tiwary?

Sammy Koujah too

[verbal ether]

No 💀I only know 2nd years who I take classes with or people from ACM/IEEE

[warm swallow]

L

[gentle hamlet]

there's only like a hundred other cse ce majors

everyone else is ece

[warm swallow]

campus makes you feel like you're the only non CSE/ECE engineering major lol

[spring wharf]

do you have the link to this

[warm swallow]

@gentle hamlet congrats on deciding to come here though

[gentle hamlet]

thanks man
ucsd was my numero uno from the beginning

i'm hype af i got my ucsd email set up and allat

[verbal ether]

I know like 2 and one for in through lottery

And he chose to do CE over CS

[gentle hamlet]

i view ce as a harder and cooler than cs

[verbal ether]

Campus is quite nice today very empty and mostly quiet

[sly bear]

sounds like copium to me /s

[warm swallow]

oh you're on campus

[verbal ether]

Yea

My friends are here too we do shenanigans ❤️

[warm swallow]

I went home

[verbal ether]

I did too for a bit

Flew back in quite recently actually

[gentle hamlet]

i was thinking of taking a walk around campus today but idk i may have stuff to do

[verbal ether]

It’s like rly empty lol

[gentle hamlet]

just you, the concrete, the trees, and the propaganda banners

[warm swallow]

try walking on campus at 6 AM lol

better yet, 2 AM

it's eerie af

[verbal ether]

Been there done that

Actually 3am

Walked from off campus to my dorm :)

Cause transit stops running at 12

[warm swallow]

yeah LJ/ University City is pretty safe lol

walked from UTC to campus before

[verbal ether]

Yea I walked from around there to campus at 3 lol

[warm swallow]

lol

[verbal ether]

Well it’s like near rose canyon

[warm swallow]

I c

[verbal ether]

Friend’s apartment

He has a car now tho so now I get driven back if I stay too late 😭😭

[warm swallow]

I'm probably going to uber if I have to stay on campus past 9 PM

[verbal ether]

He still uses 41 to get to campus tho cause parking expensive

[warm swallow]

my parents don't like me taking the bus too late

so it's either camping on campus or taking an uber lol

I have a final this quarter from 7-10PM lol

so I might uber back to my apartment after the final

[warm swallow]

I mean I take the 201/202 to get around from the apartment to campus

take the trolley to Santa Fe depot to get on Amtrak

[verbal ether]

My dad used to commute on BART so he’s p comfortable with me taking transit late cause nothing rly compares to Bart shenanigans 😭

[warm swallow]

Yeah lol

I lived in LA

Metro was our BART lol

the Glendale Beeline and Metro buses were sus af after dark

that's part of the reason why my parents hate having me commute on buses late at night

though I have taken the 5:50 AM 202 bus to get to campus before lol

[verbal ether]

I’ve taken the last trolley at 12am a lot it’s usually pretty empty and fine

[warm swallow]

I actually like the 5:50 bus

there's no one there lol

you could literally lie down in the back and no one cares

[sly bear]

@verbal ether so you can't double major within the college of eng right?

[verbal ether]

No you can’t

[sly bear]

what department can i have a 2nd major in

[verbal ether]

Any other outside engineering I think

[weak current]

How do double majors work at UCSD?

[sly bear]

@lusty mesa can u dm me the ucsd 27 server

[lusty mesa]

Sent

[rain spire]

how is ERC for CE

[verbal ether]

Uh the GEs might be rough I think benz can speak better for GEs, CE major has a lot of reqs

I do know people who do it and they’re okay!

[spring wharf]

is it possible to take GEs over the summer at a community college and get credit at ucsd

[lusty mesa]

Check the pins

The biggest hurdle is MMW and the foreign lang requirement. But other than that everything is fine

[lusty mesa]

Yes. If you’re taking classes at your local CA CC, be sure to use assist.org

Note that not all classes will matriculate

[candid crag]

have they released a schedule for admitted students day on the 8th?

[rose iris]

does anyone know what the ucsd waitlist acceptance rate was in the previous years

or any predictions/data for what it might be this yr

[spring wharf]

Haven’t gotten mine yet 😭

What’s in it?

[gentle hamlet]

acceptance letter, registration checklist, 2x propaganda brochure, stickers

[rain spire]

R u intl?

[gentle hamlet]

no lol i live in san diego

[rain spire]

Ooh

[verbal ether]

It was 0 people my year (2020-2021 application cycle) but it was nonzero the last year (2021-2022)

[rose iris]

oh damn

alr thanks

[next tangle]

hi hi im a prospective ucsd student but there's a couple of things tipping me off idrk if theyre true but can someone pls clear it up 4 me: is the quarter system very stressful? is the hosuing rlly that bad? and are majors rlly capped? also how is erc overall

[shy moss]

hey y’all! I’ll probably be committing to ucsd at erc for an econ-math joint major. one thing though - is there an instagram group chat for ucsd already? haven’t found one yet

[lusty mesa]

Idk about IG chat, but there’s a ucsd 27 discord

You can find it with a simple google search

[mild ermine]

Hey, we do actually have an Instagram group chat for the class of 2027! If you want I can add you to it, just dm your ig handle

[shy moss]

just did, thank you!

[shy moss]

awesome, imma join that too :))

[halcyon fox]

@lusty mesa you attend ucsd right? sorry for @ing you but how easy would it be to get an internship at ucsd for example for bio

[lusty mesa]

I do attend ucsd, but idk much about internship accessibility

[lusty mesa]

W syllabus

[carmine saffron]

benz where did you move from before sd

if it’s not to intrusive 🫶🏼

[lusty mesa]

Los Angeles area

[carmine saffron]

for some reason i thought u were native to sd

[verbal ether]

most sane ECE class

[modest knoll]

That's wild

[gentle hamlet]

what class

[verbal ether]

ECE 45 with zeger

[gentle hamlet]

oh

makes sense

[verbal ether]

I had 109 with him and my 71% was an A- lol

[wispy hawk]

hehehe

[mossy cairn]

Were the admission stats for this year released yet?

[gentle hamlet]

they come late summer to early fall

[mossy cairn]

ohh alright thanks

[weak kiln]

does ucsd yield protect or was my app just not what they wanted 😭😭

[daring lily]

college aps are Weird

[jade valley]

UCSD doesn't yield protect

[lusty mesa]

yes they do yield protect

bigrizzler is wrong

[gentle hamlet]

free engineering burrito kinda hits

too bad the dining hall food won't be this good

[verbal ether]

Just simply go to acm events and get free chipotle burritos and banh mis

[lusty mesa]

Yum

[void abyss]

What’s wrong with ERC 😭😭

that’s where I got in

[lusty mesa]

shitty GE's

but it looks like u got into penn

so luckily you wont have to take mmw

[daring lily]

erc's GEs are famously kinda rough (especially their writing sequence) but its not a death sentence or anything (benz is still alive)

[lusty mesa]

Yea

I got an 89.98% on MMW 12

[daring lily]

erc people are probably fine they just have to Be Prepared

i say, as a seventh college person

[lusty mesa]

Lucky ducky

[warm swallow]

Hah MMW sucks

[daring lily]

👉 👉

[warm swallow]

CAT's better 😎

[daring lily]

lets go SYN!

(omg im cheering for english classes im such a fucking nerd)

[gentle hamlet]

woooooo mcwp

[warm swallow]

I hate writing but CAT's actually pretty fun

I took a class where I learned about the development of cities

[gentle hamlet]

(enrolling is like buying concert tickets and depending on your ta your life may or may not become hell)

[warm swallow]

and the science of climate change

I had a hard TA in my 2nd writing class but he was a legend

I actually learned a lot from him

went to his office hours to get my essay checked and he genuinely made my writing so much better I'd say

[daring lily]

which college is CAT?

[warm swallow]

Sixth

[daring lily]

nice

[warm swallow]

we have the best dining halls and best dorms(for now)

😤

best location on campus

[lusty mesa]

I love 6th

[daring lily]

sixth was my second i think? i put muir first cause it was closest to theatre campus

[daring lily]

but im honestly very happy with seventh

[lusty mesa]

Bruh seventh is the FARTHEST from the theater district lmao

[daring lily]

i know 😭

but i liked the GEs and having a kitchen and pretty OK dorms all around

also im not sure i knew that when i applied so

here I am

i don't mind; i need the workout anyways

[warm swallow]

Good luck

Campus is pretty big

[rose iris]

did anyone here from the bay area get waitlisted at ucsd for ds? if so, did you get into any other uc's as well, just wondering

[rose iris]

congrats!

[lusty mesa]

Ty!

[rose iris]

what major?

[lusty mesa]

Disciplinary action

[lusty mesa]

I have a friend who got off the WL for ucsd Ds last year

[unreal tundra]

i got waitlisted but applied ds second major with ee first major.

got into berkeley applied math

[rose iris]

ohh

nice

congrats on cal man

W fr

[lusty mesa]

birb really pulled thru

[unreal tundra]

I had other options too. Just not on the prestige level as cal.

[jade valley]

anyone know the UCSD waitlist acceptance rate?

[trail violet]

when does ucsd release the new common data set

[blazing girder]

idk but prolly like a decent amount

like 1k or so idk but someone prolly ran the numbers

[jaunty cedar]

this is what i'm seeing for sd acceptance

[unreal tundra]

Source

36137 were given waitlist?

How many opted in

[jaunty cedar]

College confidential

Hello birb

Bea is busted

[unreal tundra]

She has been for a long time lol

Do you know tuni got into Stanford ☠️

Firestar told me

[jaunty cedar]

Yeah I saw him wearing it at school

Bro is going through some stuff rn

[jaunty cedar]

Do you know toast?

I destroyed him yesterday and ashbs

[unreal tundra]

No

[unreal tundra]

You know him irl?

[jaunty cedar]

Yeah

[unreal tundra]

Ik ashbs

I saw his streams

He always blames his teammates

[jaunty cedar]

He sucks

[unreal tundra]

Wow u beat sweats

[unreal tundra]

Whines a lot about his teammates

[jaunty cedar]

Yeah

[spring wharf]

im from the bay and i got accepted for ds
also got into santa cruz (computer science), davis (data science) and irvine (data science)

oh and waitlisted from santa barbara for comp sci if thats relevant

[rose iris]

not sure, i think it's around 20%

[spring wharf]

committed to ucsd lmao, its part of my username

[rose iris]

oh right

mb lol

wait tho isn't cs better than ds

but ucsd is a better school overall

[spring wharf]

yep

also they have an entire institute for data science that does tons of research

[rose iris]

yea true

[spring wharf]

that was kinda one of the deciding factors

[rose iris]

6% acceptance rate last yr is wild

it’s crazy tho i got WL at ucsc too idk how

[wispy hawk]

skill issue

[uncut stratus]

benz still not mod?

what kinda conspiracy is this smh

[warm swallow]

No

seniority matters

[shut silo]

@lusty mesa if my major is biochemistry and i do out-of-campus housing is revelle any problem

[lusty mesa]

Here are revelles GE reqs

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1050860010827173898/1086507921376038933/Screen_Shot_2023-03-17_at_9.33.24_PM.png

There might be some overlap with bio chemistry

But take note of the HUM sequence and the foreign language req

[shut silo]

Idk what humanities entails really but I'm only missing the fine arts and I already play piano so

I speak five languages foreign lang is ok

[lusty mesa]

Oh sweet

You might be able to waive that req with a placement test then

[shut silo]

fuck yeahhh

:))

[lusty mesa]

Ok yea it’s not thatttt bad

The writing sequence is still kinda ass tho

But you’ll get thru it

[shut silo]

yeahhh that's true

okay thanks man :)

[lusty mesa]

Ye

[rose iris]

@lusty mesa do u know which ucsd colleges r good for cs or data science

[lusty mesa]

Warren

[rose iris]

like the ones that r good for STEM

[lusty mesa]

Warren for everything stem

[rose iris]

alr

any others or j warren

[lusty mesa]

Are u applying next year?

[rose iris]

nah

i applied this yr i was waitlisted for data science

[lusty mesa]

Ah

Yea then u won’t know ur college

[humble mesa]

can u get into ucsd with a 3.79?

uw?

or are they like ucla and are more gpa weighted

[gentle hamlet]

idk man just apply

you're only ticking a box

[wispy hawk]

they have their own UC GPA

[lusty mesa]

Yes

I had a 3.7aomethjng UW and 4.2W

[humble mesa]

bettttt

[rose iris]

wait y not do they not tell waitlisted students

[lusty mesa]

They’ll tell u if they decide to accept you

They probably don’t tell you since they don’t know how many people will accept their original offers for each of the colleges

[rose iris]

oh yea

that’s right

[high wren]

Does anyone know if you can take physics 1A if you didn’t take math 10A or math 20A but got a 4 on the AP calc bc exam? like does the prerequisite get waived?

[plucky kiln]

When do waitlisted people hear back

[spring wharf]

uci and i think ucla have started releasing waitlists

so probably pretty soon for ucsd

[gentle hamlet]

my guess is early may

[spring wharf]

do we know when they started releasing last year?

[weak current]

I don’t think LA WL come out yet

[spring wharf]

oh wait yeah mb

[shrewd rock]

DS at ucsd or CS at UNC intl talking career wise which would be better in jump starting me(job opportunities)

[spring wharf]

Unc fs, their cs program is amazing

Ucsd ds is good but idt it can beat chapel hill for job opportunities specifically

[shrewd rock]

aight aight

heard cs at unc us mid tho and isn’t ds at ucsd like top 10!

?

[gentle hamlet]

ucsd absolutely destroys lol

data science people can get tech jobs just fine

[shrewd rock]

i heard unc has shit career services as well then again the prestige is there with it being iverall 20th ranked

[shrewd rock]

but when ppl say stuff like this matter is pretty confusing

[gentle hamlet]

prestige wise ucsd still beats it

[shrewd rock]

damn

[shrewd rock]

how come someone going to ucsd is saying otherwise?

[spring wharf]

Nah i didn’t mean UCSD is bad at all, ik data science is rly good there

I’ve just heard a lot about unc is all

[sly bear]

are you instate for UCSD

if not prob UNC then

[shrewd rock]

damn divided opinions

[sly bear]

did you want data sci for ucsd though?

[shrewd rock]

nah bro i don’t know i just wanna go wherever i can get the best job opportunities

[blazing girder]

go to ucsd so u can be friends w people on this sub

also you will be close to the beach

also ucsd is in san diego

also san diego is in california

california is also really cool

[wispy hawk]

Pray for Me 🙏

and @civic hedge

[shrewd rock]

alright

how much is the deposit if i commit?

any clue?

[blazing girder]

250

[shrewd rock]

okay

[shrewd rock]

i’ll commit tomorrow

how much would it cost annually for an international factoring in all costs

[weak current]

As a fellow intl I understand ur pain

I’m going with a rough number of about 75k USD/yearly

[shrewd rock]

sheesh bro

unc is like 60k

[wispy hawk]

We are manifesting to be Tritons

[gentle hamlet]

inshallah you are a future triton

[shrewd rock]

seriously thinking should just do unc 75k vs 60k i guess saving money is a better option realistically but gonna think abt it

this is what it says imo if i squeeze my expenses i’d be able to get away with 65k no?

[weak current]

I think the latest CoA was 71k, that is what I saw from their info session few days back

Yep, here is the one for 2023-2024

5k increase in 1 year is crazy

[civic hedge]

Me and @wispy hawk gonna make it in fs

[weak current]

They increased tuition?

Yeah holy, they increased it 3k for out-of-state

[civic hedge]

It’s bc of the new policies to limit out of state

[weak current]

that sucks

[civic hedge]

Don’t worry though bbg go to unc 🙏 let us have a spot in the waitlist /s

[shrewd rock]

yea i am bro 71 vs 60 is crazy

[weak current]

You sure it’s 60?

I didn’t know it was that much lower than UCs

[gentle hamlet]

talking all the other smarties at our school to go to ucb and ucla so y'all can have the spot

[shrewd rock]

yeaa

only issue is have to enrol for cs after the first semester cuz you can’t get in direct

at unc

[rose iris]

does anyone know if uc's admit ppl off the waitlist based on majors and if space is available

or by region (e.g. if someone from the bay area doesn't opt in to the WL or doesn't commit to the school if accepted, while another student from the bay area does opt in to the WL) if space is available

[lusty mesa]

This

[rose iris]

oh ok

alr thanks

[wheat walrus]

unc is pretty low for intl

compared to ucsd

plus living costs at cali is def gonn be higher than nc

and even tho ucsd is superb for cs, considering costs and also the massive flexibility for double majors and minors at unc, i personally chose unc over ucsd

people say diversity is an issue at unc but i've seen a good % of all races coming to unc, majority of them wouldnt be intl tho

majority is in state but those instate kids come from a wide variety of races and backgrounds

if thats a concern

[wheat walrus]

its not difficult for cs lol trust me

business is gonna be way worse, unc cs is around 77% acceptance last year i heard

[shrewd rock]

aight

[rigid osprey]

Is UCSD somehwere I should send a loci or na

[gentle hamlet]

@lusty mesa check out our new discord invite: https://discord.ucsd.edu

[lusty mesa]

[half swallow]

ucla, I loved both campuses but mainly chose it to leave home

[lusty mesa]

Found me

[gentle hamlet]

bumping my knowledge of campus up and i haven't taken a single class yet

[warm swallow]

Legendary Sixth College

I used to live on Kaleido 14th floor

man I miss those days

[mossy cairn]

damn congrats

[blazing girder]

does anyone know when the transfers come out?

[spring wharf]

didnt they already release a couple days ago?

[blazing girder]

apparently not all of them

[slender pulsar]

Supposedly 4 or 5 PT today

[blazing girder]

[lusty mesa]

😳

TRITON UP

[slender pulsar]

@lusty mesa ayo?

[slender pulsar]

They’re out now

Ok I will post it here before Benz then

@lusty mesa look what i got!

[lusty mesa]

YOOOOOOOOO

SIXTH COLLEGE TOOOO

SHEEEEESHHHHHHH

CONGRATS CARLY!!

[slender pulsar]

Ty!

[lusty mesa]

SHEEEESH

[slender pulsar]

Is there a priority or smth for colleges how does that work

[lusty mesa]

There’s no prototype

Priority

It’s just based on ur rankings

But u really lucked out!

6th is THE best college

THE newest dorms too

[modest knoll]

W carly

[lusty mesa]

Ong

Time to join the UCSD discord

The CO 25 server is looking for mods

[gentle hamlet]

as am i

[slender pulsar]

My thing is the sd classes also seem kinda lame

Like Davis has an edating course

Vaguely

CMN 172 — Interpersonal Technologies (4 units)
Course Description: Theories and research findings on how people use technologies for interpersonal and relational purposes, including impression formation, self-presentation, deception, anonymity, friendship maintenance, online dating, and emotional expression.

I like the ones about social media and pr and stuff

[lusty mesa]

edating?

don’t need anymore of that

[deep fable]

UCSD has a good premedical advising track and med school matriculation right?

[unreal tundra]

i just want to confirm ucsd does not care about 2nd sem or 1st sem grades when admitting off the waitlist?

[modest knoll]

yeah

[sly bear]

are u considerin ucsd over berk if u get off?

[unreal tundra]

yes

[sly bear]

for what major\

[unreal tundra]

im applied math at berk

ee at ucsd

[sly bear]

why didnt u apply ee at berk?

[unreal tundra]

cuz i would not get in

[sly bear]

whats the point in jeopardizing your major for the sake of getting in

i guess u can backdoor if u even can

which is dumb concept

[unreal tundra]

applied math was my second choice major everywhere bro

or statistics

[gentle hamlet]

based

(i also did this)

[sly bear]

i thought berk doesnt do alternative major

like in terms of consideration

[unreal tundra]

except berkeley

amath was my first choice at berk

[unreal tundra]

well on ur uc app u could fill in 2 majors for berk

so idk if what u said is true. i doubt it tbh.

[placid widget]

they started doing that this year, being able to chose an alternate major at Berkeley

[wispy hawk]

dam.. why did I try?

jkk

[lusty mesa]

Shot a hyperlapse video at school

[jade valley]

damn, that actually pretty cool

[gentle hamlet]

fire ucsd propaganda film

[wispy hawk]

CSU LA JOLLA >

[rose iris]

congrats on ucla, what major did u do at ucsd?

[rose iris]

that's a cool vid, also does anyone know when ucsd waitlists release for freshman

[lusty mesa]

Thanks!

WL decisions should be rolling out throughout the month

They might release the first batch in the coming days

[rose iris]

oh ok that's good

do u know what ucsd colleges r good for cs/ds and stem

[lusty mesa]

Warren

But the colleges don’t really that much tbh

[rose iris]

oh ok

[lusty mesa]

They’re all fine

[rose iris]

is sixth good as well?

[lusty mesa]

Yea

Sixth is the best college

For anyone

[half swallow]

Thank you. I was accepted for bioengineering at UCSD

[rose iris]

oh cool

alr so sixth first choice, then warren

[lusty mesa]

Well if your on the waitlist u don’t get to choose

They always assign you a college

[rose iris]

oh ok yea that makes sense

can u change the college preferences before u receive a waitlist decision

[lusty mesa]

No

That deadline passed longgggg ago

[umbral karma]

UCSD PLEASE PLEAAAASSSEEEEEEEEEEEE

ANSWER MY PRAYERS

[wispy hawk]

Deadline was 1/31 I believe

[analog pond]

for anyone on the UCSD waitlist just opt out trust me you don’t wanna go to ucsd its horrible j think about all the fucking seals

[wispy hawk]

^^^

the food is nasty

[lusty mesa]

can confirm

some of it is

[rose iris]

how is the vegetarian/vegan food at ucsd

also does anyone know if i have a higher/better chance of getting off the wl for ds at ucsd, someone from my school opted out of the waitlist, and they applied for the same major as me

[warm swallow]

Decent

[warm swallow]

Well it depends first on the number of admits who accept their offer

If the number is lower than yield requirements, they tap into WL

Otherwise no

[rose iris]

wait wdym

by that

[mint pumice]

basically they predict their yield rate, which is the amount of people they expect to commit out of those admitted

yield rate is how colleges determine how many people to admit and they use past years data to predict it

if not enough people commit by may 1, they start pulling off the waitlist until they get enough commitments
