I hate UCSD 💯

Yikes I am realizing that UCSD will probably not spare me a penny of financial aid

At which point it would have to immediately be disqualified for me

Hey guys, I was just wondering does UCSD allow you to double major in two different schools? I’m interested in double majoring in human biology (school of biological sciences) + business economics (randy school of management)? If its allowed, is the process the same like double majoring in general (ensure that you fulfill the prerequisites of the other major)?

Human biology supremacy🔥 (I don’t have an answer to your query unfortunately)

By some stroke of luck they gave me the first choice

Finals day campus might actually be the most dead I’ve seen it

#

guys, i want genuine advice

#

is it worth going to UCSD CS as an international student paying OOS fee?

#

in terms of gaining that money i spend on my tution back

wanton field
keen cave
#

none yet from the US

#

but i have university of edinburg in scotland

#

and HKUST

wanton field
#

if you can afford it and wont be taking out too many loans than maybe? even though uc oos is a LOT

I wont be taking out a loan, but still do you think it is a investment that is worth it

that’s what im gonna do unless uc berk accepts me

Did ucsd send out financial aid/scholarship stuff to anyone

#

bro why did i apply revele

#

i didn’t even know what residential colleges were

#

i added ucsd the day of

plain plinth

#

is it possible for me to switch

You have to prove that switching would let you graduate two quarters earlier

#

Its over for me

Can you switch colleges

sharp kindle
plain plinth

but they’re pretty much the same

frail sentinel
#

ucsd doesnt take loci for waitlist right ?

sharp kindle
#

Can i tack on a cs minor kek

plain plinth
#

Yeah u can

sharp kindle
#

Bro what

#

Let’s go!

plain plinth
sharp kindle
#

I won’t actually be doing that

#

I think

#

Cuz i don’t rly wanna do swe at all

plain plinth
#

bio + cs

#

Double major

#

I’d have a year of credit

#

worth

#

so it’s justified

sharp kindle
#

Maybe it would be good for bioinformatics yeah

#

I’ve heard

#

It’s acc good for doing research stuff

#

The cost of everything scares me

plain plinth
#

nah I might do premed 💀

#

Or cs

#

just gonna see how it goes tho

sharp kindle
#

Like if i get into ivies + duke im gonna be forced to go but its gonna be a ton of money

#

So

sharp kindle
#

Idk if it is tho

plain plinth
#

Depends on what u want to get out of it

sharp kindle
#

I don’t wanna go into a prestige heavy field

#

Rly

plain plinth
#

what is ur field

sharp kindle
#

Where it actually does matter and where i’ll be getting ton of money outta undergrad

#

Med prolly or research

#

Both sound nice

plain plinth
#

sd is solid

#

for research

#

Top 5 cs ranking

#

but idk what’s ur major

#

so

plain plinth
sharp kindle
#

It’s good at that too right

plain plinth
#

U gotta research more about biochem

#

Since idk how it is at sd

sharp kindle
#

Ik one guy who committed there then committed to pitt then got off the ucla waitlist so he went there instead

#

Man idk what to do

#

I’ll just decide in april

i feel like i wont know where im actually going until like june

cuz of all these waitlists

#

didn't know that

but they’re both solid

but SD is a more CS focused school

It’s top 5 grad cs research

It’s so frustrating because transferring into cs is even worse

I think it’s also ranked higher than LA

Obv rankings ain’t everything

#

it’s their flagship major basically

#

and there are tons of opportunities

what about ee?

#

or robotics

plain plinth
#

yeah

#

top uni for engineering

# hasty root what about undergrad

undergrad cs here is alright but if u wanna do research its pretty good, for industry i feel like UCSD CS isnt like special compared to other schools honestly for industry/swe internships just like grind leetcode and mass apply lol

ah, ic

EE here is rly good and im an EE major and i think its like the coolest thing ever so if u have questions lmk 😭

how many classes did you take per semester 😭

what would you say was your fav course?

waaait autonomous navigation is kinda my thing lol

#

that's sick

#

is this the same lab that did the ucsd autonomous golf cart

marsh arch
# hasty root what would you say was your fav course?

uhh ok so im a signals person so i loved my signals & systems classes and my dsp classes cause they felt magical and everything was rly cool (like if u learn about amplitude modulation or sampling theorem its like extremely cool), linear control systems theory was also fun but very heavy on the differential equations and very yucky formulas, i liked linear circuits which was basically building a bunch of filter circuits and differentiator/integrator, and i loved probability/stats lol

does ucsd accept loci?

So don’t count on it at all

idk if I can find it

#

But search up UCSD waitlist acceptance rate

out of the 36,113 who students accepted a place on the waitlist, 2,400 were admitted

that's not bad (?)

UCLA for instance has space in the waitlist form for you to add any additional info

#

Also I will say, even if you get in through waitlist the chances are that you’ll have to live off campus

How does the roommate system go?

Just random or fill out a questionnaire?

o ya true

still moss
#

what sucks is if you don't live on campus your first year you don't get guaranteed housing your sophomore year

#

and most people live off-campus junior year

still moss

#

then they "match" you

#

although at the end of the day it's random

also be mindful of who you ask online to room with without knowing what they're really like

I just hope my roommates don’t suck

best roommates imo are ones you're not too close to

or have ppl alr been assigned 8th college

hmm, not sure about the waitlist but it definitely helps people get housing

because a lot of eigth people have been living in sixth

but the ones you know you can talk to after a stressful day

ye

#

best ones

#

wait since ucsd admits to the school as a whole first and then specific majors, does there being room in the major you applied to help in your chances of getting of the wl

#

or is it just space in ucsd in general

Dropped UCSD’s name during a phone call with the representative of an internship I’m desperate for

yall is being admitted roosevelt a dealbreaker? i'm honestly not super thrilled about it as a stem major and the GE's seem pretty hard but i'm super bummed as ucsd was prob my top school

#

ngl though like

#

I think the writing classes are okay, every college has some sort of requirement

#

but foreign language (4 classes if you're not bilingual) also is super annoying if you can't skip

#

if your other choices are uci/ucsb I'd consider it but don't want to make that decision for you

#

for reference I was also undecided between ucsd and ucsb where I had regents but ended up coming here

does ucsd accept LOCI?

# rose bronze Is there free transport between the campus and San Diego Intl?

yes u get U-Pass which gives you free access to the San Diego MTS System (all trolley and bus lines except for the rural routes), and there is public transit from campus to the airport:

  • blue line to old town and then a free to all airport shuttle
  • blue line to america plaza and then the 992 bus to the airport

I might actually go to ucsd even if it’s not for cs lol

The only school I cannot debate taking over UCSD is Northwestern

My options are exhausted

GaTech was my last hope but it’s gone now, unless I can magically pull the Ivy+, Berkeley, or Purdue then it’s over lol

Howard

#

Berkeley

#

Northwestern

#

NYU

#

idk what I’d take out of those tbh

#

Best chance is at Howard but I wouldn’t take it over SD probably

#

Albeit it is very lovely

eager terrace
#

i have cornell, duke, upenn, purdue, berkeley but those are all mega reaches so its most likely not going to work out

I am waitlisted from la though

so if i could get off la waitlist then i'd be happy to go there

I really wish I went undeclared

It’s ok man ga tech is so so difficult esp oos

I got ucsd undeclared, i would've been happy if it was cs or cse lol

#

true

edgy cradle
#

I got ucsd for Chem

eager terrace
#

but i could just go math-cs for ucsd and grind leetcode/projects for the same job opportunities

#

onyl issue would be classes

#

because cs kids get priority

edgy cradle
#

Priority for what

#

Oh

eager terrace
#

for cs classes

edgy cradle
#

I see

#

Well wherever you go I’m sure you’ll make the most of it

#

And ucsd is such a great sxhool

#

Even higher ranked than gt from what I believe not that rank really matters

#

But still something to consider

eager terrace
#

yeah rank is irrelevant

edgy cradle
#

Yeah

eager terrace
#

but i'm just a little salty because there are people who got into better schools which makes me feel like i wasted 4 years but then again my results could be way worse

edgy cradle
#

No I 10000% understand, I live in NC and got waitlisted from unc although ppl lower ranked and fewer extracurriculars than me got in

#

In january

#

Felt like sjit and I still do

eager terrace
#

I think part of it is also because i applied cs

edgy cradle
#

But then I realized that things happen for a reason and I’m sure wherever I go I’ll be suxxessful as long as I’m motivated

#

So just believe in yourslef you’ll be good 🙏🏽

eager terrace
#

I should've applied for different engineering majors lol

#

yeah

edgy cradle
#

Yeah I should’ve gone undeclared

in years past it looks like there were a lot of engineering majors with below 3.0 gpa but nowadays that seems pretty rare

so tbh we're kind of grade inflated

guys are UC waitlist replys rolling? cuz i have a B rn ik i can pull up to an A

is that a req?

it is required

i learned a lot in that class, mostly from the programming assignments

they have you implement data structures like linked lists, array deques, binary heaps

if u get a 93% ur gonna get an A regardless of the curve probably

#

that's crazy

#

cse is known to be so much easier than ece

#

the hardest core req cse gets is like cse 30

#

which ain't shit compared to the ece 35 45 65 101 chain

hasty root
#

maybe he's just better at ece then coding shrug

i also lied my cse gpa is like a 3.4 💀 i changed to EE from CE tho anyways cause dsp >>>>

bleak prawn
#

i'm thinking bout going back to ce

#

i need to broaden the net for jobs

#

ece35 is just circuit puzzles, 45 is fun if u like Calc and complex numbers, 65 is transistors which i still dont understand, 101 is more 45

i heard the curve on those ece classes is hilarious

mfs be getting 30% on tests --> a+

There’s an African proverb:
A wife and husband planned to sell their chicken’s eggs as a business. The husband suggested buying a cow with that money, and putting it next to the living room. The wife was mad and suggested it be put farther away. The wife and husband had an argument about where they’d put the cow when they hadn’t even sold the chicken eggs to get the cow anyway. Eventually, the wife smacks the husband with a pan.

Conclusion? Don’t discuss something until you have it in front of you.

So, you should get the metaphorical cow first

Hey I was wondering if you could answer a question, as an attendee of UCSD, how different/similar are the CSE:Computer Engineering courses as compared to CSE:CS, because it's different from the ECE: Computer Engineering major

bleak prawn
#

cse:computer engineering and ece:computer engineering have the exact same curriculum as of now (i heard they're thinking of changing it though)

#

ce vs cs is quite the comparison as they are very different majors that share many core classes

keen ibex
#

ah, thanks for that, so the school makes no different because both CSE and ECE share the same core classes with cs? Also, is it remotely possible to change from CSE:CE to CSE:CS + Math if one wished to do so?

still moss
#

there's no "competetive" college lmao

still moss
#

because that's a competely different major in the math department

#

cse department only has cs, ce, and cs-bioinformatics

keen ibex
#

Oh, so the only way to double major in CS and Math is to switch to the Math department

still moss
#

mm so you want to double major

keen ibex
#

If its possible, yeah, cuz I'm accepted to CSE:CE Revelle

still moss
#

while i'm not a specialist in cse, there's a process you have to go through if you want to declare a double major

#

and just know that math-cs is different from cs + math

#

because math-cs is just one major

#

you can check out this page if you want to know more about double majoring in math

keen ibex
#

thank you

still moss
#

here's a better link for requirements on double majors

keen ibex
#

just one more question for now, how is the process like, switching departments and or majors within a department?

still moss
#

I would say if both majors don't have overlaps then it may be difficult

still moss
#

because the most difficult thing about changing majors is requirements

#

for example i'm a cheme major and nanoe and cheme are in the same department, so if i were to switch to nanoe then i would just have to take a couple extra classes

keen ibex
#

oh, so there's no restrictions or caps on smth like CS because its a 'selective major'

still moss
#

there's a time period for changing majors though, like to submit an application

keen ibex
#

Ah, thank you so much for answering my questions, I appreciate you taking the time

still moss
#

yep

#

just fyi, cse majors aren't accepting major applications right now from outside departments

#

but since you're within the department there should be a different process, i suggest you take a look at that

keen ibex

#

just curious, how often do you hang out in downtown sd? @marsh arch

marsh arch
#

dont go often

#

i think i go convoy the most which is in suburban sd (kearny mesa) cause good asian groceries/restaurants, & la jolla shores a lot cause i like the ocean

#

and hillcrest a lot

bleak bear
#

Is sd relatively safe? Like im not from the us so i have heard many bad things about the us in terms of safety especially for women and thats one of the factors holding me back 🥲

marsh arch

trying to find photos of seventh but i have like 2k photos 💀

UCSD is the best i've gotten into

i need to find reasons to love it

marsh arch
vocal sand
#

is it true ucsd actually is dead? how is school spirit

hasty root
marsh arch
#

not socially dead but we're not a party school if u care about that

#

and like yea if ur outgoing u can probably have a good social life

vocal sand
#

Okay that's somewhat a concern, to be fair I am premed so i won't have all that much time to party but no party scene isn't ideal

#

how is food

#

also i will be going to seventh

#

how is that

marsh arch
#

we have good food

hasty root
marsh arch
#

seventh dorms are nice i gaslit people into thinking i had photos but i dont

#

but theyre good

#

u get full sized beds if i remember correct

#

at least for singles

vocal sand
#

how is premed scene

#

I know UCSD is insanely good for bio

#

but like just life-wise

#

Is it hella competitive? will it make me want to end it?

#

I heard it's a lot better than other UCs

marsh arch
#

uhh i know its not really competitive

#

people are pretty nice to each other here

#

not cutthroat at all

vocal sand
#

ok that’s what i was concerned abt for berkeley but i got rejected so we good

#

what abt things to do

marsh arch
#

uh things i do:

  • go to convoy to grocery shop/eat good asian food, get boba/random asian desserts

  • downtown for the waterfront, little italy, gaslamp is really cool, concerts at the rady shell, padres games

  • sdsu/mission valley area (sdsu has parties and its not hard to reach), mission valley has an ikea lol and i love ikea

  • la jolla shores (i love the beach and ocean), downtown la jolla is cute too and good food spots

  • hiking (i have a list of transit accessible trails if that's something people like)

mighty aspen
#

Omg bet bet

marsh arch
#

i also make my friends drive me to hike

#

and we have a hiking club lol

what is UCSD's IDEA scholars program?

i just got emailed by them

marsh arch

u should also do SEI which is like taking your first intro engineering class over the summer

#

highly recommend

bleak prawn
#

people say they make a lot of friends through summer programs like sei

#

i wouldn't know i couldn't afford it

marsh arch
#

yea 😔

marsh arch
bleak prawn
#

true

#

they sell it as helping you adjust to college but adjusting to college really isn't hard

#

the novelty wears off fast

marsh arch
#

acm ppl scare me actually even tho half my apartment is on acm board 💀

bleak prawn
#

i waaaant to get more involved with acm but i've gotten only rejections from them so far

#

i'll try for projects this quarter then hopefully mentoring next year to see if things start to turn around

hybrid pecan
#

how good is cs here

#

i got in for it

radiant notch
hybrid pecan
#

might do cc and transfer

radiant notch
#

well if you can afford ucsd oos then it's a great choice

hybrid pecan
#

ahh

marsh arch
#

its a good cs school

#

good research opps if ur into that

bleak prawn
#

our curriculum is fairly well structured

#

academically you'll also receive a lot of support because the cse department hires hella course staff/tutors to help students in their classes

#

career wise i'm not so sure about, as you know cs majors at every school are in the midst of some hard times and we're no exception

tulip sleet
#

did anyone hear of a waitlist acceptance sofar

dim drift

how is ucsd for biotech pharma kinda stuff

how is ucsd for biology that isn't biotechy pharma? im interested in conservation bio and like field stuff

#

and it seems like the ebe major aligns with me well

#

im admitted as general biology tho, im not tied to it right?

green hawk
#

i got ucsd, but i was put in my last choice college (erc, first choice was revelle) and i regret the major that I chose (icam)

#

is it plausible to transfer to electrical engineering or cogsci or should I just take the L and learn EE at ucsb

snow pelican
#

Deciding between sd and sb for cs

bleak prawn
#

if you’re the type to stay in your room a lot and not seek out other people then social life won’t be good

snow pelican
bleak prawn

the kicker with ucsd is parties/frat life

#

we're really kinda behind in that regard

snow pelican
bleak prawn
#

well

#

i choose not to party a lot

but i do have friends to hang out with

and i'm pretty happy with that

snow pelican

what about ee

bleak prawn
#

idk anything about our ee

green hawk
#

not like ill be able to transfer in anyway

bleak prawn
#

did you get undeclared

green hawk
#

picked a bum major

bleak prawn
#

you actually can switch to ee

green hawk
#

how easy is it

bleak prawn
#

you can’t switch to cs or ce but with ee you just have to get decent grades in the weeder classes

green hawk
#

can you switch out of your college

#

i got erc is it possible to move to warren

bleak prawn
#

and they’re not called weeders for nothing, lower division ece classes are quite tough

bleak prawn

its over ucsb it is

I got my updated predicted grade can i mail my new predicted grade to UCSD or how can i upload in portal?

You don't have to give them anything until you submit your intent to register and your final grades are published

fading rivet
#

do they accept LOCI?

vocal sand
#

no they don’t accept anything

silent topaz
#

If you get in off the waitlist is it likely you will be given one of the “worse” colleges?

vocal sand

i think it’s more whichever one needs more students but i’d assume they wouldn’t give u your first / second choice

guys is erc's CS good?

I listed ERC as my top choice and got in, but I'm kind of regretting it 😦

Hey guys, just wondering how easy is it to get internships as an international student for humbio esp due to visa restrictions?

snow pelican

Because I have one due soon but idk if doing early will provide advantage

vocal sand

They begin around May 15

snow vigil
#

If I am waitlisted and some one write recommendation letter does that affect ?

silent topaz
#

I don’t think they will look

#

It’s done by their need, so for example if they have lower yield of bio majors than expected, bio majors are more likely to get off the waitlist

vocal sand
#

No UCs will review letters of rec unless asked for (only berkeley and that won't happen anymore)
