UC San Diego (UCSD) (2023-2024)

[still moss]

Which one did you get into?

[rose bronze]

https://tenor.com/view/mewing-gif-11339234860235694668

[still moss]

Cuz honestly that’s the one that you should care about

[frozen thistle]

Muir

I don't even remember my ranking

[still moss]

Muir is nice, a bit old but fine GEs, good vibes

[coarse fox]

muir is good i think, i got into that one too

[still moss]

You can check on your UC app

I like muir

[tulip sleet]

wheres the poll

[frozen thistle]

Okay okay thank you

[rose bronze]

muir supremacy (i know nearly nothing about it)

[tulip sleet]

For accept waitlist rejct

[frozen thistle]

Pinned

[round umbra]

I’m just seeing the graphic and it’s so cool!!

Why did I not notice this 😭

[rose bronze]

HUH

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-mouth-jaw-dropped-joey-friends-gif-11808669

[coarse fox]

idk i might have to go

[rose bronze]

UCSD i did NOT know your game

[coarse fox]

i was not familiar

[rose bronze]

also WHEN DID ucsd become a T20 world university

[coarse fox]

since i got in.

[rose bronze]

how is it T20 global but not T20 us

pls explain us news

anyways is there an admitted discord for ucsd or nah

[mystic lion]

someone will make a ucsd discord for your year soon probably if it doesnt already exist like they did for every year

[round umbra]

Omg is there

I need to leave the Davis one 😅

[vocal sand]

How hard is UCSD premed

[modern maple]

LOL RIP Davis

[vocal sand]

cuz i got in for human bio

i'm coping hella hard with this ucla waitlist :/

[round umbra]

What school

[vocal sand]

Seventh

[round umbra]

I got revelle 💀 third choice

[round umbra]

Sorry Davis lol!! Are you excited about ss

As

Sd

Holy cow

[rose bronze]

same might have to

[round umbra]

W no idea 😭 it should be fine

[vocal sand]

Seventh was my second choice

[modern maple]

Don’t invoke the holy cow

Not after talking about Davis like that

[rose bronze]

honestly SD is cool for giving me muir as my first choice

[round umbra]

Alr decided I’m not going to Davis 😭 love their animal sciences but…love ucla more

[modern maple]

Anyways yes I am excited about SD

[round umbra]

I am named after a holy cow

[rose bronze]

yeah might have to end the dream there for san diego unfortunately

[round umbra]

THEY DIDNT GIVE ME MUIR AS MY FIRST I GOT REVELLE

[rose bronze]

davis will always have a place im my heart

[rose bronze]

HOW DID I GET MUIR AND NOT YOU

[round umbra]

No more uw?

[modern maple]

I got ERC

[rose bronze]

you deserved it more fr

[round umbra]

Valid valid sd is gorgeous but socially dead 💀 my ex also goes there and agrees

[modern maple]

I got into 4 of my top 5 schools (and still waiting on the last)

So I’m having a crisis rn

[round umbra]

Idk sd hates me 😭

[winter obsidian]

bruh i put erc dead fucking last in my ranking and got it

[modern maple]

I didn’t expect to have this many choices

[round umbra]

Oh! My ex hates this he’s in it

[rose bronze]

i mean at least you dont live in soviet union core

[round umbra]

That’s Elenor Roosevelt right

[modern maple]

Yep

[rose bronze]

yes

[modern maple]

Soooo many GEs

[round umbra]

So true bro

[rose bronze]

roosevelt was near the bottom of my picks

[round umbra]

Yeah he loathes it

[round umbra]

I put it dead last with his advise

[rose bronze]

my bottom was i think warren i need to check

[round umbra]

Revelle premed is not bad but little room for double majoring

[modern maple]

American giving me $22k/yr Presidential scholarship and $26k grant is

Very very tempting

I will say

[round umbra]

What are your top 4

American polisci is sooo good

[modern maple]

I don’t know top 4

[hasty root]

I’m ngl the amount of GEs 7th college has might be the deciding factor between sb and sd

[modern maple]

Top 5: UCSD, UW, CU Boulder, American, GWU (no particular order)

[round umbra]

Top 5 oops

[rose bronze]

aint american in dc

and ur doing poli sci

[vocal sand]

is it actually as socially dead as people say it is

[round umbra]

My friend is at gwu and hates it 😭

[modern maple]

Yeah….

[round umbra]

Yeah

[round umbra]

But they have dorm parties

[mystic lion]

describe socially dead

[round umbra]

When I visited I saw a grand total of 6 students 😭 in 2 hours

[modern maple]

It’s extremely tempting I can’t lie

[rose bronze]

no parties everyone likes to keep to themselves there aint no fun events going down

when very few students are outside

[round umbra]

Nah they have fun events

[modern maple]

It has pretty much everything I could want in a college

[rose bronze]

im not saying sd is that

but im saying thats my definition of socially dead

i dont know if sd IS that tho

[mystic lion]

you visited at a bad time if you visit like peak school hours its packed asf

[round umbra]

UCSD has a super super cool portal though

[round umbra]

I went during my spring break (mid April)

[rose bronze]

so the socially dead rumors are cap

[round umbra]

Oh yeah mine too

[mystic lion]

yeah everyone's gone

[round umbra]

Makes sense then

[mystic lion]

don't expect big parties

[round umbra]

Idk sd didn’t click w me it was so spread out

When is Triton day or whatever it’s called

[still moss]

I like that it’s spread out

[rose bronze]

tbh im not much of a partier

[still moss]

But that’s different per person

[formal linden]

is there internal major change available from econ to econ+math?

[still moss]

Sometime in April

[olive thorn]

UCB UCLA UCSD UCD UCI UCSC

[mystic lion]

it's literally like any other place in terms of u get friends if u try to make friends by doing stuff

[still moss]

I think so

[round umbra]

It’s April thirteenth 😭 UCLA’s is the same day…

[rose bronze]

might have to get this

[modern maple]

Not too small but not too large, urban but not right in the middle of a city, great location for internships and networking, I got into a specialized residential community that offers specific study abroad programs, amazing program for what I want

[still moss]

Check on their website

[round umbra]

🔥

Ok guys

[still moss]

Ngl if you wanna go to la

[rose bronze]

only 30 bucks too

[still moss]

You should check it out

[round umbra]

Is it better to buy college wear before going to the school or should I go buy at the school

[rose bronze]

you did say ucla was your dream school

that's the move

[round umbra]

Yeah I just wish ucsd had it on a different day so I could visit again

[still moss]

Ngl don’t buy merch until you’re committed

[modern maple]

I bought before getting accepted or in some cases applying icl

[round umbra]

Yeah I’m def going to La

[rose bronze]

yeah ofc

[still moss]

And yeah you don’t need to visit on triton day

[modern maple]

The Macalester hoodie in my closet after I got deferred and then waitlisted:

[round umbra]

True but unless certain reaches clutch up ucla is my end game

I guess I can wait for Bruin day then

[still moss]

Yeah I mean you seem like you’re gonna commit there so

[round umbra]

Same but I didn’t end up applying to half 💀

[modest bluff]

Imma fcking 🏃🌋☠️

[round umbra]

Probably better to wait just in case so I don’t waste 30$ on a jacket I’ll never wear again

[sand coyote]

when’s the first wave for ucsd waitlist acceptions

[modest bluff]

Idk

[modern maple]

$30??? That would be a steal

[sand coyote]

aight it’s over 💀

[modest bluff]

Wait are u guys serious if ucsd does it based off of gpa

[modern maple]

They’re going to extort you for that shit ruby

[modest bluff]

Like if it is it’s actually over

[round umbra]

Ok more like $40

[round umbra]

Idk

You can probably have my spot 😭 I’ll hand it over

[modern maple]

Waitlist?

[formal linden]

Is UCSD T20?

[still moss]

Yeah lol

[sand coyote]

https://www.collegevine.com/faq/23350/ucsd-waitlist-statistics#:~:text=However%2C in past years%2C the,your place on the waitlist.

[modern maple]

UCSD waitlist acceptance rate is historically very low either way

[mystic lion]

if your major is capped don't hope to get in 💀

[round umbra]

Still have fifteen decisions to go…

[still moss]

No one knows what it’s based on

[rose bronze]

somehow globally yes but domestically no

[round umbra]

Yeah idk anyone who ever got off

[modest bluff]

Ahhhhhh fck me

[modern maple]

Least insane A2Cer

[modest bluff]

Someone actually just kill me at this point

[round umbra]

What’s ucla globally

[modern maple]

I only have 2 more and I’m free

[modest bluff]

I can’t do this no more

[gaunt tundra]

rejected

kinda suprised

[rose bronze]

#14

[still moss]

Good luck, my decisions after UCs last year were horrific

[rose bronze]

UCSD is #20 globally

i wonder why

[sand coyote]

bro

fml

[round umbra]

Mb sixteen 💀 one tmr though!

[rose bronze]

yeah ucsd looks like stupid slim

[round umbra]

W

[still moss]

Bio is capped and a friend of mine got in off wl

[sand coyote]

I can’t even rely on usc bc im broke

[round umbra]

Really 😭 I’m hoping I clutch either Dartmouth or Penn otherwise ucla’28

[still moss]

It’s not impossible

[round umbra]

USC is Friday next week apparently

[still moss]

I mean I was just a poor candidate lol

[sand coyote]

oh my luck isn’t doing so well tbh

[still moss]

I’m sure yours will go better

[round umbra]

Oh I’m sure that’s not true

[sand coyote]

im an academy student 😭 so its April 1st for me

[round umbra]

What does that mean?

[sand coyote]

ty man

[mystic lion]

cool tip btw what uni u get into will not matter all that much compared to what you do in uni

[still moss]

USC asking students for 100k a year lmao

[sand coyote]

I don’t get it same time as other students

[still moss]

^

[sand coyote]

bc I had some interview

in mid feb

[mystic lion]

you all will realize this very quickly when you get in

[regal pulsar]

Is there any way to get into first major

[round umbra]

Ohh I see

[sand coyote]

real

[still moss]

Yeah at some point in June you stop caring

Honestly before that too

Don’t be that one guy at ucsd who dropped out or something to go to cal 🤮

[sand coyote]

i wish I lived in Boston 😭

[rose bronze]

the second after i commit and end this journey im probably leaving this server

[rose bronze]

what?

[sand coyote]

ucb cs after ucd uci rejection and ucsd waitlist

[still moss]

From what I’ve heard there was this crazy guy who couldn’t get over the fact that he didn’t get into “better schools”

I dunno full details

derp do you know anything

[mystic lion]

i used to care quite a bit as well

uh

i feel like that doesn't narrow it down much

lol

[rose bronze]

i just realized something hilarious

[still moss]

I just heard it from someone

[rose bronze]

ive gotten into the northern most and southern most uc campuses

aint that something

[still moss]

Yeah I mean same, at the time it was hard but now it’s like wow I used to do that

[mystic lion]

im just reflecting a bit on how my views on stuff changed even if i like

already felt it back then

[hasty root]

this is how I find out Davis is higher than Berkeley

[sudden wolf]

WTH

[rose bronze]

crazy but yeah it is

[sudden wolf]

wait what

[rose bronze]

frankly i did not think id get this far

[hasty root]

crazy character growth

[rose bronze]

UC Davis is the farthest north UC campus
UC San Diego is the farthest south UC campus

[hasty root]

from begging to get accepted to ucr to accepted ucsd

[rose bronze]

we went from a CSU Long Beach waitlist to a UCSD acceptance to first choice major and college!

[hasty root]

congrats man

[rose bronze]

thank you broski

[sudden wolf]

oh bruh i thought u ment rankings

lmao

[rose bronze]

oh no no lol

[languid dock]

is warren college good for data science

and for univ life in general

[still moss]

Yeah it’s good

For Uni life, Warren is weird since it’s like separated from the rest of campus

[mystic lion]

all i know is all my cse classes are near warren lol

and the engineering stuff

[still moss]

Yeah

[mystic lion]

so you wouldn't have to walk much if you're some sort of engineering

[ebon forge]

Got into data science instead of computer science in Marshall, feeling slightly disappointed

[hardy timber]

yay i got rejected

[languid dock]

ehh

[modest bluff]

R u serious I wanted to get in for this major 😭

[ebon forge]

😭😭😭

I can’t convince my parents to pay international fees for a second choice major 😭

[languid dock]

same bro I got into data science from second major

[modest bluff]

Good I want it instead, jking but man sorry to hear that

[modest bluff]

Ru fcking kidding me damn. Wish I was in ur position

[ebon forge]

You can have my spot 😭imma go to purdue or gatech if i get in

[languid dock]

idk Im just more into mechanical engineering and they don't let me in

[modest bluff]

Give it up then please 😭 I’m kidding but damn I mean DS is still good for ucsd

[modest bluff]

Muchas gracias

[pliant juniper]

Does anyone know how hard is it to change majors or colleges at UCSD?

[hasty root]

changing colleges is a no go apparently

[pliant juniper]

Oh ok thanks!

[still moss]

Changing colleges no, changing majors depends

[stark dagger]

got into revelle as an undeclared major despite applying for cs... does that happen with all cs applicants or what?

[still moss]

More about whether it’s capped or not

[stark dagger]

also idk about going to revelle 😭 is there a ucsd discord server where i can ask ppl about more info on this

[still moss]

Unfortunately no, I’m assuming you either put a capped major as an alternate or you didn’t put an alternate at all

Revelle might be kinda bad if you’re trying for a stem route, but most people manage

[stark dagger]

yeah i had cse as alternate 💀

[stark dagger]

sad stuff 😭

[still moss]

Yeah you could have changed that to like cog sci or smth

It is what it is

I think they’ll create a ucsd 28 server sooner or later

[stark dagger]

aight

[severe gorge]

how is marshall college?

[fair timber]

Can someone let us know when they make one

[pliant juniper]

Thoughts on changing from Economics (Dept. of Economics) to Business Econ or International Studies - Economics (Rady School of Management)?

Is there a possibility or are these considered ''competitive''?

^or can one still stay in BA Economics but opt to take some business classes at Rady?

[still moss]

it is under contruction so you likely won't live there until at least your sophomore year; it's a fine college with sorta mid GEs but you'll have new housing soon

[still moss]

perhaps i'll link it here when it's created

[still moss]

check if they're capped; that's the best way to tell. Both majors are not capped, you can check here for more info:
https://economics.ucsd.edu/undergraduate-program/major-minor-requirements/BusEcon.html

overall it should be easy, especially since both majors have similar requirements (I assume)

[bleak prawn]

you actually can change colleges under very rare circumstances where you can prove that if you switched colleges you could graduate 2 quarters earlier

but this applies mainly to transfer students so i wouldn't even think about it

[gray lion]

is roosevelt as bad as it sounds

[modern maple]

To me the GEs for ERC don't actually seem that bad

MMW I can understand sucking for a lot of people but it seems up my alley

Natural Sciences and Quantitative Reasoning you can cruise through pretty easily with bs classes if you aren't interested

[severe gorge]

How do they assign a college to you?

Is it completely random?

[modern maple]

No you would have ranked your preferences when doing the UC application

[severe gorge]

I did

But I got like my 4/5th choice

So was just wondering

[modern maple]

RIP

[rose bronze]

Man I’m still just in shock I got in

It don’t even feel real

[hearty whale]

I GOT IN YIPPEEE

[modern maple]

YESS BRI

WE COOK

[muted kite]

crazy day tf

[rose bronze]

Today was something

getting into SD just for LA to say nuh uh

but fuck it we ball

[muted kite]

no bc genuinely i applied math cs as a joke bc i have nothing math or cs related

and i got in

💀

[modern maple]

I mean same thing for me

[rose bronze]

So do you plan to do math CS

[modern maple]

I’m not shocked

[rose bronze]

Neither am I

I figured SD I had a chance at and LA was not happening

[modern maple]

Or upset—SD is in my top 5 and LA was near the bottom of my list

[muted kite]

ive applied engineering everywhere and i have t5 engg schools so might not end up at ucsd

but its a solid option

[modern maple]

I thought I had a chance at SD but a slim one so getting in still shocked me a bit

[rose bronze]

Lowkey same because I don’t necessarily want to stay in Los Angeles

So now I have an excuse not to

[still moss]

It’s not the best but it’s manageable

[still moss]

What sucks is that MMW is a 5 course series when every other college usually has 2~3 courses

[muted kite]

i got erw and it was my 5th choice rip

[still moss]

Not to mention 3 region specialization courses, a foreign language and fine arts

[pliant juniper]

Thank you! Will be on it. I think I would be very happy to commit to UCSD really excited to be there

[still moss]

Happy for you

[modern maple]

I think the reason this doesn’t bother me is that I need to take a language and ideally specialize in some region anyways

For the grad programs I want

[modest bluff]

Did ucsd lower the amount of waitlists this year? There’s only 5 people waitlisted at my school and rest all rejected.

[hearty whale]

SO GOOD

[rose bronze]

Idk

To be honest I haven’t heard of many UCSD news

[hearty whale]

not sure if ill gontho

[gray solstice]

Maybe? I think their yield may be getting higher

[rose bronze]

Most people at my school passed on it

[gray solstice]

So less need for waitlist

[modest bluff]

Ya

[gray solstice]

REALLY?

Damn

[modest bluff]

Hoping to get in on my bday

From waitlist

[rose bronze]

I’m serious there were so many people who passed on Berkeley and SD for SB and LA

[gray solstice]

Wow what

[hearty whale]

GOOD LUCKK

[rose bronze]

basically I had a straight shot to SD and got my first choice major and college whilst being below the 25th percentile of gpa

[gray solstice]

Interesting

[rose bronze]

Which is honestly a miracle

[gray solstice]

I’m kinda sad I didn’t get into my first choice major because it’s gonna be like impossible to transfer into (it’s capped)

[rose bronze]

:(

[gray solstice]

Sabge

[rose bronze]

It is what it is

[gray solstice]

Indeed

[modern gorge]

same

got into my 4th choice college as well 💀

[rose bronze]

What was your 1st choice and 4th choice?

[modern gorge]

need to check

warren was 1st choice

marshall 4th

and i got aerospace eng instead of mech

[rose bronze]

Ah ok

[modern gorge]

my uc application was horrendous so I'm not too surprised

surprised I even got in tbh

[dire sun]

Got the A from UCSD 🗣🗣

[fair timber]

any1 know how eighth is going to be like

[sand coyote]

got the w from UCSD(waitlist)

[dire sun]

I got the W from UCLA 😭

(Waitlist)

[eager terrace]

Same

[still moss]

yeah I mean in that case that's perfect; for me as an engineering major though, most of these aren't really ideal

[rose bronze]

If you got in it wasn’t horrendous

[still moss]

but with a proficiency test of some sort you can skip foreign langauge, and you can also skip fine arts by taking a course that suffices both that and region speciliazation

[sick chasm]

real

say it louder

[still moss]

so there's a lot of ways to work around it

[sick chasm]

i didnt get into any uc besides riverside and im in state

and i had good essays and app

[still moss]

more people applying means less will get accepted

well, not less but

the number of rejections has to increase

[still moss]

you applied meche but got aeroe?

[modern gorge]

yep

[modern gorge]

well it could've been stronger

i only liked 1/4 of my PIQs

[modest bluff]

I’ve seen more rejections this year compared to last year everyone got waitlisted last year at my school

[rose bronze]

Well clearly SD liked 4/4 or else they wouldn’t have let you in fr

You are better than what you think you are

[still moss]

I think those two are like in the same department or something

[modern gorge]

tbh I think I like aero more than mech

but I'm not a US citizen so DoD stuff might be out of question

[eager terrace]

ngl 2 of piqs were lowkey about the same thing lol

[rose bronze]

Same

Still worked

[eager terrace]

yeah still worked but irvine didn't like it

[modern gorge]

i forgot which prompts i wrote about

need to go check

[eager terrace]

i still refuse to look at my piqs

lol

[modern gorge]

did 3,4,5,6

im not reading them

[eager terrace]

need to hold onto hope that berkeley likes them too

idk if ucla liked them or not since it was a waitlist lol, maybe they only liked half

[sick chasm]

im not sure you disliking it means its a bad essay

[modern gorge]

[simple scaffold]

anyone know how hard it is to switch from math cs to a capped major such as computer enginnering ?

[rose bronze]

Sometimes artists live in fear and hatred of the art they have created

[modern gorge]

matpat left the lore unsolved

[rain stratus]

any intel on which the better colleges ar e at UCSD? Warren/Seventh etc??

[rose bronze]

i hear a lot of good things about john muir but the bad part is the architecture

[rain stratus]

Hmm..Thanks

Got assigned to seventh

[ebon forge]

Would it even be possible for me to switch into CS as a data science major at UCSD

I’m finding conflicting info online

[modern gorge]

?

[rose bronze]

what

bud if you made a multimillion dollar startup, do you need ucsd at that point?

[modern gorge]

^

why even go to uni

[rose bronze]

people go here to do that

you already did that

you win

that is if you aint cappin

[rose bronze]

if i were in the position i would still go but because id like to get something of an education

so i get it

but still

uh huh

well i mean if ur intl w/ a 4.0 uc gpa it wouldve been hard regardless

still crazy tho

the college app system is unforgiving and weird

even weirder then

best of luck then

[wintry vector]

for the waitlisted students, is there any way we can provide updates and showcase continued interest?

[dusty willow]

i dont think so

[lyric hemlock]

when will we hear back from waitlist

[amber wigeon]

ucsd fr an opp for being my first rejection

[rose bronze]

did ucla get your back tho

is the real question

[amber wigeon]

nah but carnegie mellon got me!

[rose bronze]

THATS HOW WE DO IT

good work

[amber wigeon]

yessirr

[lyric hemlock]

what % get wailistd

[amber wigeon]

like around 10%

oh at SD i have no clue i said it for ucla

[dire sun]

Got into Molecular and Cell Bio at Revelle College

Revelle College gang where yall at

🗣🗣

[grim onyx]

oh dang i just realized they gave me marshall as my number 1 choice

[dire sun]

I applied Sixth College first choice

They gave me Revelle (third choice)

😔

[round umbra]

SAME

[dire sun]

Fellow Revelle enjoyer

[round umbra]

It’s fine ucla ‘28

[hollow onyx]

does UCSD give fin aid to OOS

or impossible

[round umbra]

No

[hollow onyx]

alright ty

cuz I got waitlisted

so you reckon I shouldnt opt in?

[round umbra]

I mean if it’s no extra work, opt in, otherwise I wouldn’t

[hollow onyx]

alright tysm

Scripps at Dusk

[dire sun]

Goated pics

[wheat rover]

Isn't scripps

In Claremont

[final kiln]

Scripps Institution of Oceanography

[wheat rover]

Pah

[rose bronze]

the cooler scripps fr

(i didnt know it existed until 3 hours ago)

[final kiln]

More pics

Lmk if you guys need more reasons

[rose bronze]

ive wanted to know what that house is doin there

and why they put it there

[final kiln]

art piece

basically an artist got homesick and wanted to show how it was to move to a new country

[rose bronze]

also is the pier a part of ucsd or just like there chillin

[rose bronze]

i see

pretty cool of em to do that

[final kiln]

No that's ours. I walked on it once for a field trip

[rose bronze]

awesome

[final kiln]

mostly filled with scientific instruments

[rose bronze]

are students allowed to check it out tho

if its filled w/ scientific instruments

[final kiln]

No you need Scripps Lab priviledges

I had those for a bit until my lab terminated me for budgetary reasons

[rose bronze]

i see

also can you charge e-bikes in the dorms + does it make sense to have one

[final kiln]

You could charge e-bikes in the dorms and yes. Campus is huge and sometimes you have only 10 minutes to cross campus before your next class

Be wary of the dorm outlets though, they trip easily

[rose bronze]

alright thats perfect then

cause davis supposedly doesnt have the charging for it

which sounds odd

anyways @final kiln the food

as a student was the dining hall food good?

like if you were served their food at a restaurant would you leave satisfied

[still moss]

The only college around here that has good food is LA

[final kiln]

It's decent. Sure there's some terrible food here and there in the dining halls but for the most part it's healthy and tastes good

[still moss]

Sd is fine, it’s not terrible imo

[final kiln]

My favorite places to eat are either pines or at OVT

[still moss]

I also think sixth is very fine

[dire sun]

Do they have Indian food sometimes 🗣

[still moss]

Bistro is restaurant quality

[final kiln]

Sixth ramen is great. Wolftown is 💀

[final kiln]

Yeah. It's not good but edible.

[still moss]

Makai and rooftop covers it up imo

[dire sun]

I'll take edible over nothing

[rose bronze]

can you eat at other colleges dining halls

[final kiln]

Makai poke is good. Rooftop salmon is bomb.

[dire sun]

How's Revelle college
I keep hearing the Humanities reqs are tough

[final kiln]

Of course. I've lived at Sixth but have eaten at Revelle, Warren, Muir, Sixth, Bistro...

[dire sun]

They didn't give me sixth college smh 😔

[final kiln]

Yeah Hum is rough

[still moss]

I’ve never had salmon I should try it

[rose bronze]

Well that’s awesome then

[final kiln]

Dw Revelle is good. I like the area there. You guys have a pretty decent dining hall.

[dire sun]

ah 💀
Is it like impossible levels of rough

[dire sun]

ayy ty

[still moss]

Also you can look up Revelle GEs and it should explain there a bit too

[final kiln]

You should. It is 🔥

[final kiln]

No, it all depends on your prof and TA

Mostly the TA's do the writing sequences and if you get a good TA it helps.

I've had some hard but helpful TA's in my writing sequences that helped me improve my writing.

I've also had chill TA's that gave free A's as long as you put the effort.

[dire sun]

I did check it
I'm kinda scared of the fine arts req

I would rather die than sing/perform a drama on stage

[final kiln]

Fine Arts was my least favorite GE

[final kiln]

I took a Theater class and I hated it

Writing was also bad

[dire sun]

ou
So using TA office hours is imp

[dire sun]

u gotta do writing for a THEATRE class? 😭

[final kiln]

If I could delete one part of my UCSD experience, it's the Fine Arts classes

[final kiln]

yes

[final kiln]

Yes but I also took a creative writing class for my 2nd FA class

[dire sun]

THEY HAVE WRITING?

[final kiln]

I'm telling you I did not miss that class

[dire sun]

less goo

[final kiln]

yeah

LTWR series

[dire sun]

I'm fr taking that class

[final kiln]

LTWR 8C is the class I took

it was on personal narratives

[dire sun]

aight ty
u have been a huge help ngl

[final kiln]

Yeah np. Ping me if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer.

This goes to everyone btw

[mystic coyote]

what's Seventh College generally like? i didn't research much into the UCSD colleges beforehand 💀

[final kiln]

Seventh is on the north end of campus near the business school. It looks pretty modern cause it was built relatively recently. All the rooms there are apartments and it has a really good dining hall/market. Plus it has some of the easiest writing sequence/GE requirements at UCSD.

[mystic coyote]

ah nice, good to know

i did a goof on my preference rankings and put Muir at the bottom LMAO

[still moss]

Are you musical at all

You can skip it with AP Music Theory

[final kiln]

Muir is also pretty good. Has a harder writing sequence but its GE requirements are pretty easy.

[dire sun]

International student 🤡

[final kiln]

India?

[dire sun]

Yes

[final kiln]

Aight well I have to go to bed

[dire sun]

[final kiln]

It was nice meeting prospective students

Ping if you have any questions or something

[rose bronze]

Good night king triton

[stark dagger]

I got into my 6th college undeclared 💀😭

6th choice*

Absolutely crushed ngl

[fresh cliff]

yall i'm not sure what i should do, i was really excited to get into ucsd but i got into my 6th choice college andit's really turning me off from attending bcs of the GE"s 😭

[pliant juniper]

What were your college rankings?

[stark dagger]

yo same here mate, may i DM you?

[keen cave]

How good is warren for CS btw?

Does anyone know?

[modern maple]

From my understanding the college you attend within UCSD has no (direct) effect on your major--everyone still takes the same classes regardless of college

It just determines your GenEds, dorm, stuff like that

[keen cave]

Oh, thanks for the info!

[modern maple]

I can look at the GenEds for Warren and see how they match with a CS major

It doesn't seem terrible there's just 1 part kind of confusing me

2 Writing Courses
2 'Ethics and Society' Courses (Social Sciences/Humanities)
2 'Formal Skills' Courses (Math)
And then there's this which I don't fully understand

[severe gorge]

And how do they assign colleges apart from your own rankings?

[modern maple]

I don’t know of the exact process

[steep lantern]

HII

ANYONE HERE GOT SIXTH COLLEGE?

im looking for a friend

i'll be taking biz econs

[fickle badge]

same college same major

and ur intl too?

[edgy cradle]

Did anyone get seventh college + Chem

[steep lantern]

yesss

[fickle badge]

Damn 😂 Where u from dm

[bleak bear]

Hey guys how good is seventh college for hum bio in a pre med track in terms of the GE reqs?

[modern maple]

The requirements are:

• SYN 1, SYN 2, SYN 3 (Sequenced) -> Focuses on climate change
• 2 Arts Courses
• 2 Humanities Courses
• 2 Social Science Courses
• 2 Natural Science Courses
• 2 Quantitative Reasoning Courses
• One 'High Impact' Course

So you will have to do quite a few non-STEM Gen Eds

I will say, for Humanities and Social Sciences you can find courses that still focus on health/biology

[bleak bear]

Ohh I see then, thanks for the information!

[fickle badge]

Is there any current ucsd student here with econ/bus econ major I can ask some questions to

[steep lantern]

Yes same here, i would like to ask abt the culture and math courses

[fresh cliff]

yes ofc

[round umbra]

So happy you got ucsd!!! Great bio and premed

[rose bronze]

thanks!

imma be chillin for the rest of the app season now fr

[round umbra]

Me asf I’m set

[still moss]

Hey, which college? Is it Roosevelt or Revelle?

[still moss]

I can answer those questions; not business econ though

[dire sun]

I got into Revelle

Are the GEs that demanding?

(I'm planning for premed)

[modern maple]

Isn't Revelle insanely old 😭

This is so much worse than ERC in my opinion dear god

[rose bronze]

foreign language !!!!!!!

[modern maple]

ERC has foreign lang too and 5 course sequence in MMW but

5 in NatSci with required Phys/Chem/Bio...

I just hate Phys and Bio so that's a major turn off for me

[rose bronze]

pls god tell me muir doesnt have a foreign language requirement

[still moss]

It is more demanding than other colleges, but definitely doable

Every college will have every major and they all manage

[still moss]

Erc also has similar requirements, just isn’t listed as “natural sciences”

I forget what they’re called

[rose bronze]

LETS GO I ONLY NEED TO PICK 2 OUT OF FINE ARTS, HUMANITIES, and OTHER LANGUAGES

https://tenor.com/view/eden-hazard-knee-slide-celebrations-celebration-chelsea-gif-14543480

(i find it hard to learn other languages)

[modern maple]

No ERC is only 2 natural sciences

Again I think the reason ERC doesn't sound bad to me is because I'm a PoliSci major lol

[dire sun]

I already know Hindi so I can teat out of the foreign language req 🥱

[modern maple]

For STEM ERC seems terrible I will say

[dire sun]

I need everything else for med school pre reqs anw

🤩🙏

Humanities reqs might get a bit annoying but I heard its only 1 essay a month

[modern maple]

I can't put any school in my name because I got into way more than I expected

[dire sun]

Doable

[dire sun]

Lmaoo

[modern maple]

4/5 of my top choices and waiting on #5

[dire sun]

Suffering from success

[modern maple]

My only rejection is UCLA

I was not expecting UCSD tbh

[rose bronze]

holy shit what was i thinking

i put ERC 3rd

[modern maple]

I put ERC 1st 💀

[dire sun]

I put 6th first 😔

[modern maple]

UCSD fears me

[dire sun]

They gave me Revelle (third)

[rose bronze]

i applied w/ undeclared as my 2nd major and ERC 3rd and it still panned out for me somehow

[modern maple]

Revelle dorms are probably terrible I'm so sorry

It's the oldest college at UCSD

[rose bronze]

whoever was in the admissions office when my app came up was a guardian angel

gave me muir and made sure i didnt go undeclared

[modern maple]

Sixth and Seventh that low is criminal I feel like

How did I rank

[fickle badge]

My top three were literally sixth seventh eighth

[modern maple]

I put Sixth really low actually 💀

[fickle badge]

Sixth is so good tho

[modern maple]

Listen man idk what I was doing

[fickle badge]

Nice major btw

[modern maple]

I'm going to be honest I did so little research for this school...

Like I'm very interested in it and the more I look at it the more I like it

But my initial research before applying was

[fickle badge]

I just looked at major reqs and the best colleges

[modern maple]

Quarter system does seem a bit weird to me

Icl

Making my college spreadsheet finally to decide where I'm going

[hasty root]

like how you gave each college their theme colors lmao

[modern maple]

My entire Spring break is going to be comparing schools tbh

[modern maple]

And fonts

[hasty root]

same lmao

[modern maple]

I looked up the hex codes and everything 💀

[hasty root]

Sd coa 71k 💀

[modern maple]

Literally all of my schools are so tempting

Especially American, UCSD, and CU Boulder

Can I go to all of them

West Coast, Middle of the Country, and East Coast

I'll just fly

More carbon emissions than Taylor Swift

[hasty root]

split into 3 versions of yourselves

[modern maple]

I'm so happy about SD because it's the 1 reach I got in

But it's so hard to justify going there

😭

The cost is ...

[rose bronze]

i didnt know what i was doing

muir i knew was the best

everything else was legit random

[modern maple]

Muir seems ehhhh for me

[fresh cliff]

roosevelt:(

[fresh cliff]

mines was
1 sixth
2 eighth
3 muir
4 seventh
5 marshall
6 roosevelt
7 warren
8 revelle

[modern maple]

I don't get the ERC hate dude

MMW does not seem bad at all

[fresh cliff]

not even that but jus the GE’s in general like foreign language

[indigo warren]

any1 else get in for cs

[mighty aspen]

Did anyone get in eighth college

[fair timber]

Yeah me

How feasible is asking to change into the major and college you originally applied for?

Ami cooked bc sd was my top choice but I didn’t get in for my top major which was basically the only thing that made me wanna go

😭☝️

[hexed seal]

i feel like it'd be difficult to get into the college u wanted

esp if its popular like sixth/muir

[fair timber]

Warren for engineering lmao

I got eighth though

[hexed seal]

damn that'd prob be difficult too

[fair timber]

Nooo I’m cooked 😭

Okay, is chemistry capped?

I know chem e is that’s what I applied for but I didn’t get that and ngl when I was choosing alternates I just chose random ones cus I thought it was either I got my first choice or rejected

So I’m stuck w physics which I hate but Ik it’s uncapped

I would much rather do pure chem than pure physics tho

[hexed seal]

pretty sure chem isnt capped

yeah its not

[still moss]

Ah, I'm also in roosevelt

Feel free to ask questions

I was also considering another school since I’ve heard things about erc, but after two quarters it’s not so bad

[rose bronze]

MUIR SUPREMACY

[hexed seal]

W muir

for their GEs, not dorms 💀

[sharp kindle]

does anyone know if ucsd has a discord server

[sharp kindle]

revelle

haha

wait bro im fucking cooked

i didn't know anything abt the residential colleges cuz i tacked on sd and davis last minute

so im in revelle

💀

[modern maple]

Yeah no

Especially the college part

To petition a college change apparently you have to be able to prove it would enable you to graduate 2 quarters earlier

[topaz brook]

oooh do u have any pics

and are the ge's that bad

[fresh cliff]

how is the foreign language requirement😭

[round umbra]

Hell no I’m premed and those ge’s…

Skipping sd altogether on my SoCal trip atp

Can’t believe they gave me revelle even though I ranked it 3rd

[still moss]

it's not the best obviously, but it's not as bad as people make it sound especially on reddit

[still moss]

I was able to skip that because I took an SAT Subject Test all the way in my freshman year; if you're proficient in another language then you request to take a test or skip with AP credit (Spanish, French, etc.)

if not you'll have to take a language unfortunately

[still moss]

I got Roosevelt as 7th choice

I heard someone here got it as their last choice

[round umbra]

Dang bro

[still moss]

it's purely luck lmao

[round umbra]

My ex is in it rn and hates it

[round umbra]

Oh well revelle just knocked ucsd off my list

[still moss]

yeah that's fine

[fresh cliff]

ugh thats so lucky. do yk if theres absolutely any way to switch colleges or ur stuck w it

[wheat rover]

I won't commit

@modest bluff I grant thee my spot

[modest bluff]

I love you!!!

[still moss]

you'd have to prove that you can graduate 2 quarters early if you switch to another college. In cases that have worked it's usually from ERC/Revelle to somewhere else (for obvious reasons), but quite rare

do you speak another language?

[fresh cliff]

no 😭

[still moss]

Ah, are you taking a language right now by any chance then

[fickle badge]

@still moss have you taken math 20c or 10c

[fresh cliff]

i havent done one since sophmore year

i might try to switch out honestly 😭

[fickle badge]

From where?

[still moss]

I skipped 20c, but I have friends who've taken/are taking it

[fickle badge]

is it tough

im skipping 20a and 10b w credit

[still moss]

Really dependent on your math ability

[fresh cliff]

from roosevelt

[fickle badge]

is 10c just the same difficulty

[strange oar]

i second this

[mighty aspen]

I wanna know more about eighth college 😭

[modest bluff]

You don’t need to, just click WITHDRAW (I’m kidding)

[dusty willow]

someone probably already asked but when do they start taking from the waitlist

[quasi plover]

i got waitlisted cs with bio / ce for ucsd is there any hope to get off of it

its like my dream school and i just feel more freaked out than before i got my decision

[plain plinth]

Bruh does a ucsd waitlist mean that even if u get in u don’t get into cs

Bud don’t have a chance at anything now 💀 my decisions are over before they started

The US holistic process is so lovely

[dusty willow]

i dont think its likely i get off waitlist either

[plain plinth]

I’m beyond that point i don’t think my family situation would be able to handle these “top” schools at all so I’m just gonna see what they can afford and commit accordingly

[rose bronze]

I guess I have use for this stuff now

(Not sent by the school)

[dusty willow]

LOL

[dusty willow]

for me i really wanna go school in state but OOS gave me a better financial offer so im torn

[sharp furnace]

same can’t find much info about it

[dusty willow]

LMAOOO

[rose bronze]

What’s the offer

not that I’d take it I’m just curious

[fair timber]

I have a question

Is your whole life based around colleges

[hasty root]

I'd honestly take a 50 to withdraw from sd but I'm not data sci major 😭

[dusty willow]

whats ur major
i applied data sci and got waitlisted

[hasty root]

computer engineering

[dusty willow]

i see

[vocal sand]

chill man ucsd is my best option atm but we still got ivy day/berk

If those go well i'll withdraw fr

[modest bluff]

Ah hell nah ain’t no way I’m getting in 😭

[vocal sand]

bro believe in yourself

this me rn with ucla's waitlist

[dusty willow]

[final kiln]

This was me with UCB

[modest bluff]

pranav how likely is it for someone to get off waitlist

[modern maple]

#1218743952770076672

🙏🏻

[final kiln]

Depends on yield

Basically the more people reject the college/major offer, the more likely you'll get in

[dusty willow]

does someone have that screencap of last years waitlist data

[modest bluff]

Is there no rough estimate or does it seem like every year it’s just completely different

[final kiln]

Different

[rose bronze]

That’s your first mistake

You shouldn’t let this app process be what defines you

[rose bronze]

man i hate this guy

[bleak prawn]

a fool and his money are soon to be parted

[rose bronze]

like the red sea

[vivid rain]

Anyone got any thoughts on Seventh College, I’m ngl I just clicked random ones when ranking them

[bleak prawn]

seventh

best housing

worst location

great ge's

[mighty aspen]

What about eighth college? I know it’s really new and I’m just wondering how the vibes are

[bleak prawn]

tied with seventh for housing

ge's are mid

location is mid

[mighty aspen]

Okay great so not so bad

[grim onyx]

i have not heard anything about marshall

[bleak prawn]

marshall is an idk situation

there's construction going on so they're about to go from among the worst housing to among the best

their ge's are... so so

locations is decent but not as good as sixth and muir

[torpid marsh]

cap, idk about best

[bleak prawn]

really good housing for that matter

[hasty root]

can you elaborate on best housing

[bleak prawn]

it's not bad living because it's all apartments instead of dorms

[hasty root]

is it the only college with apartments?

[round umbra]

I just found out my best friend’s dream school was ucsd and she got rejected :(

[rose bronze]

:(

[bleak prawn]

it's pretty rough this year isn't it

our year we actually went up

acceptance rate wise

[still moss]

it's basically a hotel

best dorms i've ever seen

[torpid marsh]

My sister got rejected from ucsd

But she didn’t want to go the same school as me anyways so we good

[round umbra]

Aww

My best friend got rejected and it was her dream :(

It sucks

[grim onyx]

😔

[mighty aspen]

Wow it looks amazing

[steep lantern]

Does anyone have sixth college dorm pictures?

[edgy cradle]

How is seventh college for stem major

[sharp kindle]

How do you know if ucsd gave you any merit scholarships

[marsh arch]

When I got in 3 years ago it was on my decision letter

[round umbra]

W victini

[karmic tiger]

could ucsd also take people off the waitlist right now just like ucla did for someone?

[marsh arch]

they probably wont do the bulk of it until after decision day cause ucsd yield is not like calculated well from what i've seen (my class they heavily overenrolled and took no one off the waitlist, the next year wl people got in around may/early june)

[timid vector]

is the ucla thing true

[hallow dust]

whats the point of the waitlist if decisions arent posted until mid to late summer??

bc it seems like you gotta commit to to a college by around may

[short cairn]

exactly that was really confusing to me

[modern maple]

You can commit to a school in May and withdraw if you get off the waitlist in the summer, you just won't get your enrollment deposit back

[short cairn]

I've been waitlisted to 4 uni's rn

2 rejected

[modern maple]

If you're willing to possibly be out a couple hundred extra dollars for the possibility of attending a school you're waitlisted for then

[short cairn]

do waitlists from one school point to results you may have with other unis?

[modern maple]

No

[short cairn]

for example I've been waitlisted to NYU, Northeastern, UCSD, and UMiami

[modern maple]

I got defer -> waitlist at Macalester college and then got admitted to UCSD

[dusty willow]

what thing?

[modern maple]

Even though UCSD is arguably slightly more competitive

It depends what each college is looking for

[short cairn]

I see

Cause I'm putting all of my hopes on Emory, Boston College, UMich, and WashU

I still have that + 2 ivies but I'm losing hope in the ivies

[dusty willow]

well the point is its a backup
honestly there is a very low chance im taken off waitlist
if you're chosen off the waitlist do you have to commit

[snow vigil]

for UCSD waitlist, do you need to write any essay/letter? or does "opting in" just automatically enroll you in the waitlist?

[modern maple]

I mean yeah those are all hard schools but your waitlists don't mean you will/won't get in

[dusty willow]

no letter no essay

[modern maple]

No you don't have to, it isn't binding

[short cairn]

Yea, I'm just praying and hoping for the best

[snow vigil]

so it's just opting in through the portal? that's it?

[modern maple]

You would just give your spot up on the waitlist then and the person behind you would get offered admission

[short cairn]

If I dont get into those, I'll likely do Fordham for business/finance because of its proximity to Wall Street

[dusty willow]

yes

[snow vigil]

thanks 🙏

[short cairn]

PLEASE BC or EMORY

PLEASE

[dusty willow]
