UC San Diego (UCSD) (2024-2025)

[jaunty walrus]

me too 😭

[brazen hawk]

[wary plover]

Email

[low spoke]

oh this is possible?

[wintry rain]

ok lit a bunch has happened since i applied ill email

[jaunty walrus]

yes its the newest

[wary plover]

Good luck

!

[full moat]

whats the best college

[raw mason]

whats their email??

[sterile granite]

type shit thats what i got

[wary plover]

Yes

[low spoke]

can i ask if you were accepted :0

[sullen meadow]

how good are the Roosevelt dorms?

[wintry rain]

no idea im gonna google

[green cedar]

sixth imo

[green cedar]

mid

first year'll be rough

[sullen meadow]

dang

[raw mason]

lmk if u get it and j put it herepls

[pastel cape]

last i checked they don't look at it

[wary plover]

I was WL unforch for engineering school, did not get off but ended up at a college i love

[green cedar]

it's fine though, you can get nice singles 2nd year

[toxic glade]

how good are muir dorms

[full moat]

thats the one I got and put as my first choice

[wary plover]

And not doing engineering lol

[green cedar]

nice

[low spoke]

omg slaysies

c:

[wary plover]

:D

[sullen meadow]

thanks! another question: how hard is it to get into engineering?

[wintry rain]

it doesnt hurt to try and email tho

[green cedar]

think they're just fine

[wary plover]

Yes show ur interested

[green cedar]

it's just their buildings look so grey

[wintry rain]

i alr have a draft of one ready after my cornell defferral

[silver oasis]

What is weong with civilE?

[wintry rain]

cute little loci moment

[toxic glade]

i'll take that 😝🙏🏽

[green cedar]

uh i'm not an AO so I don't know but pretty difficult, Jacobs is a very highly rated school

[nocturne wraith]

That’s so random

[sullen meadow]

ah </3

[raw mason]

i cant find the email MAN

[green cedar]

why do you ask, out of curiosity

[sullen meadow]

got in undeclared

so I was just wondering lol

[green cedar]

ah gotcha

honestly you can still transfer into engineering

[tawdry briar]

UCLA next

[sullen meadow]

is it hard?

[wintry rain]

doubt

[green cedar]

so there's like prerequisites, it's easy to do them while doing an engineering major

i would say if you applied for eng and have a strong stem background

it's doable

[sullen meadow]

okok

hoping for the best!

[nocturne wraith]

Computer science rejection

[pastel cape]

awh :(

[fluid helm]

Did anyone with banner get in 💔

[onyx hazel]

wdym

[solar heart]

lfg

into sixth college for cs

[fluid helm]

The navbar thingy that disappeared

Portal astrology thingy

[tulip relic]

gg!

[onyx hazel]

yeah i got in with portal astrology

guys i think the correlation is a causation

[strong oracle]

i was considering ds regardless

[manic mauve]

Bruh I put data sci as my alt major for some reason and got data sci bruh I hate data sci

[tulip relic]

I got into Math-CS

[onyx hazel]

yeah i got into bumass revelle college

[nocturne wraith]

UC San Diego computer science Rejection

[onyx hazel]

5 humanities courses i'm gonna die

AND the worst dorms

[serene geyser]

this happened my year and then it said id get rejected if i listened and i got in with scholarship so :3

[pastel cape]

condolences

[onyx hazel]

if i like history a lot you think i'll enjoy it

[pastel cape]

nah i heard it's random religious shit

[onyx hazel]

well i go to a catholic school so does that say something

[serene geyser]

u read leviticus

[pastel cape]

5 hum classes is just too much

[rain ivy]

Is eighth college good

[pastel cape]

if that's what you like

[rain ivy]

Idfk

[pastel cape]

nice ass apartments

[onyx hazel]

well tbh i did find the theology classes at my school semi-interesting

[pastel cape]

but a lil far from most lecture halls

[pastel cape]

i mean you can't change your college so i sure hope you'll like it

[tawdry briar]

No he’s getting in!

[onyx hazel]

i heard it helps with writing research papers is this true or myth

[onyx hazel]

what college are you in

[pastel cape]

think so

[spiral bluff]

im a waitlist merchant wtf is this

[serene geyser]

marshall :3

[onyx hazel]

does every revellian hate it there

[pastel cape]

i forget marshall exists

[serene geyser]

they basically try to indoctrinate u into being a sjw but the thing is im already basically one so it was kinda useless

and i feel like if u aren't one it's also useless

[strong oracle]

when does waitlist decisions come out

[cinder lotus]

PRAYING

[strong oracle]

how long does it usually takke

[onyx hazel]

like in marshall?

i'm hoping that my AP credits will get rid of some gen eds besides the HUM series

[wary plover]

Usually you'll hear back in the summer

[serene geyser]

yeah they basically tell u about all the racist shit that's happened in america and then try to make u like a leftist andthe problem is im already one so like there's no point i just skipped every class

[dense comet]

got into UCSD but rejected from irvine?? math isnt mathing

[strong oracle]

oh

isnt that too late tho

[onyx hazel]

nah fr same shit happened to me i don't get it

[dense comet]

I thought irvine was gonna be a cakewalk

whatev

ucsd better

for my course anyway

[wary plover]

So how it works is u hear back in the summer and if u get in off the waitlist and u wanna go you pull out from the college youve committed to (losing ur enrollment deposit) and commit to the waitlist school in a shorter timeframe

[toxic glade]

realsies

[wary plover]

They wait for everyone to commit or not and then see if they have room to let ppl in

[green cedar]

no college is cakewalk

[vital pilot]

i have an internship lined up at ucsd over the summer, bruh their ass just waitlisted me... what am i doing....

[nimble flicker]

can you commit to another school and then withdraw and commit if you got accepted from waitlist

[green cedar]

i've seen people getting rejected from all the UCs then get into Berkeley on the last day

[green cedar]

yes, but you would lose your deposit

[nimble flicker]

sadge got wl from irvine and sd

[warped pivot]

accepted into molecular synthesis 🙏🙏🔥🔥

[dense comet]

just meant that if I got into a tougher one, I expected the easier one to be essentially guareented

but whatev

prob not a good fit

[onyx hazel]

yo i got into revelle so UCI was a second option so i don't have to go through those 5 humanities courses

[dense comet]

wdym

sorry

ion get it

[onyx hazel]

nah i'm pissed at myself 😭

[thorny mist]

dawg how did i get into georgia tech out of state but not ucsd 😭

[onyx hazel]

for ranking it so ass

[thorny mist]

college confuses me

[dense comet]

thats nuts bruh

[spice elk]

got into 8th. is that the newest one?

[dense comet]

I wish I had the opp

I got deferred

[onyx hazel]

it's not your fault

[dense comet]

from gtech

[thorny mist]

today was not a good day for decisions fr

[dense comet]

fr

I m pissing abt CMU

pissed

[thorny mist]

i got waitlisted yeah

whatever

[dense comet]

same'

60% waitlist is nuts

ill kms

only unis in my dream category r left now

🙏

[robust drum]

chances of getting off waitlist?

and does ucsd take any additional info

[wary plover]

Possible but not high

[wary plover]

When u say this wdym?

[plucky trench]

my navbar disappeared before people started making posts about it and i got in LMAO

[slow garden]

waitlisted

[robust drum]

like grades and ecs

[wary plover]

Idk but u can write them an email updating on what youve done second semester like any awards, ecs, etc

[green cedar]

hard to say

[drowsy sable]

Got my last choice college (Roosevelt) 💀

[green cedar]

I have a friend who got of in like July

[green cedar]

☠️

[robust drum]

major?

and uc gpa?

[drowsy sable]

Nanoengineering
4.29 I think

[robust drum]

uc capped gpa?

[drowsy sable]

Ish

[green cedar]

roosevelt is still doable

[robust drum]

like how many Bs 10-11th grade

[drowsy sable]

Yeah that

[drowsy sable]

1

[strong oracle]

oh

[wary plover]

Yeah

[tranquil dew]

yield prot

trust

[high bridge]

irvine is goofy

ruined my streak

[rotund geyser]

what 2nd major should I choose for ucsd waitlist

is there anything I can choose to boost chances, im eng

[tranquil dew]

possible

[high bridge]

UCs are just random in general

[strong oracle]

how does ucsd accept from waitlist

[tranquil dew]

ucsd >> uci

[strong oracle]

is it random or ranked

[acoustic light]

its out

in portal

[green cedar]

Might be ranked, might be based on major

[strong oracle]

fuck it, day 1 of manifesting a ucsd waitlist acceptance

[rotund geyser]

does oos get regents?

[green cedar]

Every college is different

[strong oracle]

im cooked then

[acoustic light]

yup im oos

[rotund geyser]

oos get regents?

[green cedar]

Anyone can get regents

[elder yew]

got in for cognitive science!!

[green cedar]

Congrats

[rotund geyser]

ohh i see

[green cedar]

Which college?

[soft coral]

how do u know if u got regents

[rotund geyser]

alright no regents but ill take aerospace engineering

[acoustic light]

its in portal

[green cedar]

Check your financial page on your portal

[acoustic light]

but not in the letter

[green cedar]

I’ll take an acceptance all day

[rotund geyser]

where exactly

[rotund geyser]

where is that

[raw mason]

guys i have a question
what major should i put for waitlist form to maximise chances?

[green cedar]

Err check your portal

Is all I can say

The page where they show you the tuition and all that

Scholarship’s there if you got one

[hearty cape]

how easy is it to switch majors at ucsd if theyre uncapped?

are all the uncapped majors equally easy to switch into

[wary plover]

Lowkey couldnt tell u but ik theres some ucsd kids here that could

[rain ivy]

Is Revelle good for bio?

I put Revelle as first choice so got in there

[strong oracle]

ur cooked

[rain ivy]

why?

[subtle niche]

got waitlisted

[green cedar]

Think it’s simple as pressing a button lol

[rain ivy]

does ucsd care about maintaining ib score?

[green cedar]

You just submit a request and as long as they don’t have requirements you should be good

[green cedar]

Just don’t flunk your classes and you should be chillin

[green cedar]

Revelle in general isn’t an amazing college imo cuz of its GEs

[slow garden]

guys

can anyone else see computer science as major for their waitlist?

[tawdry briar]

Revelle matches premed reqs decently

[low spoke]

if i were to send a LOCI to ucsd, ideally when should i send it by

[strong oracle]

its impossible to get in to that

[low spoke]

is by mid april okay

[strong oracle]

wait do you have to send a loci

[tawdry briar]

I thought they didn’t take loci

[low spoke]

i heard its good to

[low spoke]

wut

[tawdry briar]

I’m pretty sure only ucla lets you

[green cedar]

Idk if UCSD even takes them

[pastel thistle]

Uci out???

[green cedar]

Yeah

[onyx hazel]

common data set for UCSD waitlist

[pastel thistle]

Wth

[tawdry briar]

Every other UC doesn’t allow for locis iirc

[low spoke]

omg i saw someone talking about it just a few mins ago

[strong oracle]

FUCK

[low spoke]

ic ic

thank u ruby

[tawdry briar]

You can Google

Ofc

[onyx hazel]

varies major to major i thought

[wary plover]

Yeah sounds fine

[onyx hazel]

what major did you apply for

[tawdry briar]

Also wl is usually based on institutional priorities so don’t take it too hard if it doesn’t work out

[green cedar]

13.5% off waitlist if anyone’s interested

[strong oracle]

1st choice ds
2nd choice atmospheric science

[tawdry briar]

I got like 9 wls and sent a loci to 8/9 and got off the wl for the one I didn’t send a loci too 💀

[low spoke]

ah so ucsd accepts LOCIs? :O

[wintry rain]

wdym

[onyx hazel]

maybe atmospheric science since i don't think it's impacted in ucsd

[tawdry briar]

https://admissions.ucsd.edu/first-year/application-timeline.html

[wintry rain]

tbh im just gonna send ucsd a loci email whther they want it or not

[wary plover]

Not sure what their policy is but usually u can see on ur page

[low spoke]

do u know if human bio/chem is really impacted

[tawdry briar]

Like based on what they need

[wary plover]

Doesnt hurt to try

[onyx hazel]

extremely i've heard (for human bio)

[tawdry briar]

If you get in for something else and want to switch to human bio it’s like a 50% chance

Chem isn’t impacted

[tawdry briar]

https://admissions.ucsd.edu/first-year/application-timeline.html

[sullen meadow]

but what about chem e… </3

[tawdry briar]

Different story…

[low spoke]

💔

its ok ill just pray

😔

[tawdry briar]

You got this

[green cedar]

Some things I’ve read about LOCI

[onyx hazel]

can someone help me cope with being in revelle 💔

[low spoke]

thank u so much

[green cedar]

I’m an engineer in Roosevelt and honestly I got through it just fine

I’m sure you’ll get through in Revelle

[onyx hazel]

5 humanities courses bruh

[green cedar]

What’s your major

[onyx hazel]

molecular and cell bio

[green cedar]

I mean think about it this way: there’s been thousands of students at Revelle before you who’ve graduated

Tough but you’ll get through

[onyx hazel]

you think i'll like it if i'm religious cause i've heard it's indoctrinating

[green cedar]

I can’t speak too much about it since I don’t know it

But I really doubt you’ll like a GE humanities class

[onyx hazel]

do you know anyone from revelle

[green cedar]

Yeah of course

[onyx hazel]

can you lmk what they think about the humanities courses pls

they're premed right

[green cedar]

I mean they’re all in agreement in that it’s annoying

But it’s doable

Don’t be too concerned with GEs

[onyx hazel]

i'll take your advice thank you 🙏

[dire girder]

oh wow ucsd is putting in the work

financial aid is already available (for me at least)

[green cedar]

That’s why it’s the best UC fr

[cursive solar]

Same twin

[onyx hazel]

wait you got into revelle too???

[cursive solar]

Yeah i didnt think i would get in so i put random rankings

[onyx hazel]

premed major or something else

cause i've heard it's decent for premed

but sixth is just better in general

[cursive solar]

😭

[onyx hazel]

don't tell me it's something else

[cursive solar]

Im meche

[onyx hazel]

oh no

are you gonna do research

[tiny wolf]

Does anyone know anything abt switching majors at ucsd

[sullen meadow]

i got into Roosevelt and it was MY LAST CHOICE

so ur good <3

[sweet pond]

as long as its not impacted i dont think its too difficult

[tiny wolf]

Wdym impacted

[sweet pond]

like its a really popular major/limited capacity

[tiny wolf]

Oh shit oaky

[cursive solar]

I hope

[onyx hazel]

yeah then the 5 QUARTER HUMANITIES COURSES will help with that

[tiny wolf]

Do yk if u can switch before ur first yr acc starts

[sweet pond]

idk thats what im gonna look into cuz i wanna switch

[cursive solar]

Oh okay nvm goodbye ucsd

[onyx hazel]

also the dorms are debatably the worst but if you go to argo or blake residence halls they have a shared kitchen

so if you like cooking i guess that's good

[cursive solar]

Goodbye fr ucsd

[onyx hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCElXBFjCvk

[cursive solar]

😭

[soft coral]

hows marshall

idt that was my first choice but its what i got 😭

[onyx hazel]

they look liveable but not tolerable

[rain ivy]

you can check what you gave

[onyx hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnNHEdtXOl4

[rain ivy]

How bad is Revelle? I put it as my first choice since I heard it's the best for bio

[cursive solar]

I can’t even pay oos tutions, i really applied for fun

[rain ivy]

but people are telling me it's not good 😭

[onyx hazel]

same i'm also coping rn

i don't think the dorms look that bad they haven't showed their rooms in the vid

and then the gen eds are terrible unless if you took 20 million ap classes and passed all the tests

[faint lily]

is ucsd with regents scholarship worth it for oos?

it looks like it's still >60k/year

[strong oracle]

if u can afford it

[supple heath]

Wait can you switch within the cse dept

I got into cse computer engineering could I switch to like AI

[warm comet]

u can switch to anything

just might not be easy to get into some

[supple heath]

I thought AI and CS were capped

like they didn’t allow any transfers

[warm comet]

u can switch into cs its just hard

[tiny wolf]

do yk if u can switch before ur first yr?

[warm comet]

and ai i got no clue its a brand new major next academic year

[sullen meadow]

oh shit deadass?

[warm comet]

idk probably

[sullen meadow]

wait I could declare

[crystal dagger]

I got in undeclared can I still switch into engineering or is that impossible

[rain ivy]

wait what? why are they terrible?

[onyx hazel]

extremely bad

[warm comet]

its possible

[toxic glade]

is there a ucsd admit disc server?

[onyx hazel]

5 humanities courses
foreign language requirement
fine arts requirement
math requirement
natural science requirement
social science requirement

[rain ivy]

what in the world is fine arts requirement

this is insane

can you at least choose what you want to do within each of these?

[real fox]

do yall know the acceptance rate for ucsd waitlist…

[rustic jay]

10% i think

[rain ivy]

everything except fine arts seems fine

They

all seem very interesting

[onyx hazel]

of course

[slow garden]

2,616/19,373 last year so 13.5%

29,087 got the waitlist offer but only 19,373 took it

[real fox]

ok that’s not bad… if my major has a 11.5% acceptance rate it shouldn’t be that bad 🤣🤣 (I’m coping)

[queen lantern]

I chose revlle as my first and I got it and now I dont know if revelles any good

[queen lantern]

damn thats one fat waitlist

[strong oracle]

ucsd ds is one of the best

[crystal dagger]

I love UCSD but I wanna study engineering and I got in undeclared 🥲

[dusty quarry]

yes

[queen lantern]

ik someone irl who had the same thing. I wish you the best I honestly have no idea how it works 👍🏽

[strong oracle]

rutgers is also very good

can you afford the 80k?

[queen lantern]

Twins! I have this same question too. Same boat ⛴️

bro is there grade deflatin in revelle cuz i need a good gpa

damn im cooked I cant do revelle. If it was just in general a difficult college I would be fine but NOT THE ENGLISH

[plucky bison]

I GOT REJECTED FROM IRVINE BUT GOT INTO UCSD??

[rigid pecan]

does anyone know how competitive ucsd engineering is

[warm comet]

same

[queen lantern]

a lot of people got undecided because of that

[plucky bison]

YOOO THEY GAVE ME SEVENTH COLLEGE

LETS FUCKING GO

[austere vigil]

congrats!

[queen lantern]

Congrats

[wind creek]

congrats!!!

[full moat]

how hard is human bio

[dusty quarry]

rejected ucsd but congrats to everyone who got in or was waitlisted

[queen lantern]

its hard to get into I believe. I got in for microbiology immunology genetics but my twin also got in but for general biology. Human biology is supposed to be harder to get chosen

as a major probably about the same as the other biology ones, but deff easier than my major. Based on what I heard its definately based on college. I got into REVELLE 😭 I read some random reddit comment and put it as my first 😭 😭

[full moat]

i got sixth is it good?

[queen lantern]

much good

[full moat]

I wanted one with modern dorms

[queen lantern]

smart

[wind creek]

i got sixth also!! :)

[queen lantern]

The major bad points about revelle as I've seen is: Harder academically, more english (😭 worst downside for me), and older housing is not great.
For sixth I only heard upsides

[strong oracle]

YAY

i just hope i get in off wl

[rain ivy]

Lmao

[rain ivy]

SAME

Is there a way to change it?

I will fail these 5 humanities courses

[green cedar]

You have to prove that you can graduates two quarters early if you change into another college

Ie, almost impossible

[crystal zephyr]

is the ucsd waitlist to acceptance conversion rate low or high

[junior pulsar]

10 percent

20k accepted wl

around 2k got in

[rain ivy]

I think I can do with IB credits?

I take bio, math, chem HL so maybe those will help me skip a lot of courses

[gleaming cedar]

Waitlisted T-T

[dusty quarry]

i got rejected

[strong oracle]

might cry myself to sleep

[serene geyser]

depends on year bc my year ucsd fucked up and took no one off

[south knoll]

Weren’t you Covid year

I think a lot of colleges fucked up then

[serene geyser]

yeah

[cursive solar]

Can’t say

[mortal lagoon]

fuck you san diego

sach

dap me up

[strong oracle]

:dap:

[mortal lagoon]

:dap:

[strong oracle]

issok i can transfer here

[ornate burrow]

yeah same for me so i was just wondering

[gleaming cedar]

So the waitlist decisions wont be announced till August!??

[strong oracle]

it kinda is rolling

some get it in may

some in july

[sullen meadow]

congrats :)

[gleaming cedar]

Ohhh

[marsh crypt]

the way waitlist works is they need to find out how much extra space they have

[plucky bison]

thanks :D

[crystal zephyr]

ok thanks

[crystal zephyr]

alr

thanks

[warped fulcrum]

are the admits off waitlist ranked or is it random??

[gleaming cedar]

Ahhh okok

[marsh crypt]

most people dont outright decline admissions offers so the only way for schools to have a real understanding of how many students are enrolling is decision day on may 1

[gleaming cedar]

Yeaaa

[crystal zephyr]

i applied cs so its no hope why did i do this to myself

[strong oracle]

might just commit to udub right now but if i get ucsd wl im jumping ship

[crystal zephyr]

yeah i got udub cs but not ucsd cs its so weird

[strong oracle]

i got udub presciences as a stats major

i was cooked from the start

[crystal zephyr]

congrats

[gleaming cedar]

Waow

[strong oracle]

i would sacrifice my soul to be a part of that 2616

[gleaming cedar]

Exactly

[crystal zephyr]

is UC Socially Dead still a thing or did the social scene get revived

[warped fulcrum]

well darn

[strong oracle]

lowkey hoping yield rate is low and everyone goes to ucla or smth

[green cedar]

in 2023 it was 13.5% i thin k

[strong oracle]

cooked

its so over

whats ucsd yield rate

[crystal zephyr]

decent i assume like 60 or 70

[marsh crypt]

if you want to see a really fucked up waitlist this was cmu's last year

[crystal zephyr]

actually no

[warped fulcrum]

32 💀

[green cedar]

maybe. try plans.ucsd.edu to get an idea of what that would look like

[marsh crypt]

in fall 2023 it was abt 20%

[warped fulcrum]

just reject atp

[marsh crypt]

my friend here is one of the 32 lmao

[strong oracle]

application number increased by 30k

[green cedar]

yeah that's like a lot of apps

lol

[crystal zephyr]

thats why its so hard this year

even uci got harder

2006 birth rate spike

[strong oracle]

if so ucsd is officially a reach school

[dusty quarry]

i was born in 2007 😭

[junior pulsar]

2007 birth rate spike bruh

if only i was born 1 year earlier

[dusty quarry]

pre-recession birth spike

[junior pulsar]

i could have bagged purdue

[dusty quarry]

😭

[crystal zephyr]

exactly

[strong oracle]

man

[crystal zephyr]

i was wrong to classify it in target

[strong oracle]

https://tenor.com/view/jeonghan-horse-on-beach-jeonghan-man-jeonghan-jeonghan-silly-horse-on-beach-man-gif-13991646989968971533

[wraith crane]

is it difficult to get off of ucsd wl

[marsh crypt]

dude it was not that different lol

[crystal zephyr]

i think 18 or 19 percent acceptance rate

[wraith crane]

ucsd wl but irvine rejection is crazy

ok thats kidna rough

[junior pulsar]

nah i could have baggged purdue

[wraith crane]

do they look at senior grades

[crystal zephyr]

yes

[dusty quarry]

i imagine how different my life would be if i was born 5 years earlier or attended hs in cali

[marsh crypt]

copium

[junior pulsar]

almost everyone in my school got into purdue

for fye

no like deadass

[crystal zephyr]

no

[junior pulsar]

i know people who got in with 3.4s

[wraith crane]

ok im saved

[junior pulsar]

3.3s

[wraith crane]

🙏🙏🙏🙏

[junior pulsar]

for fye engineering

at purdue at main campus

[wraith crane]

yeah some not so stellar people get into fye dfor mine too

along with a lot of highy qualified ones

[junior pulsar]

yeah purdue just took almost anyone last year LMAO

[wraith crane]

ik a guy who didn’t even take calc

idk how big of a factor that is for eng

[crystal zephyr]

i got into engineering with 3.7 uw oos

[junior pulsar]

thats a good gpa

[junior pulsar]

purdue was just special last year

[crystal zephyr]

ig but a lot of 4.0 or 3.9 kids dont get in

[wraith crane]

they did overenroll tho

[crystal zephyr]

ye

[wraith crane]

is yield protection actually a thing

[junior pulsar]

purdue

nah

public unis generally dont yield

[wraith crane]

like ive seen people with lower stats than me get into schools that i got r/wl from

[marsh crypt]

no

[wraith crane]

i feel like its more rng than yield protection

actually so random

[crystal zephyr]

yeah for me carnegie mellon accept but rejected at sdsu and waiitlisted at wisconsion

[wraith crane]

like they kick a percentage out and then throw darts on a board for the rest

wtf really

this better be me bro

uci rejection getting me scared

[crystal zephyr]

u got it man

[marsh crypt]

yield protection was a phrase made up to refer to tufts' admissions practices because they strongly considered demonstrated interest and admitted most students through ED and then people just kind of ran with it

[wraith crane]

thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[wraith crane]

oh dang i did not expect tufts

[marsh crypt]

thats not yield protection, thats just public school admissions practices

[lean shadow]

wait i got in undeclared is that a good or bad thing?

[finite bison]

the what

bro

[crystal zephyr]

ig ok thanks for clarifying

[lean shadow]

my admissino letter said i got in ucsd as undeclared

but i put bio as my major?

[marsh crypt]

it just means you werent admitted into a specific major

[finite bison]

😭 was ur second option undeclared

[lean shadow]

i think so, am i cooked

[crystal zephyr]

bio is impacted major so transferring into it might be hard

[lean shadow]

oh my days its over 😭

[marsh crypt]

yea public schools are weird w waitlists because a lot of them have specific quotas of in-state students they have to maintain

[green cedar]

what was your alternate

was it another bio major

someone mighthave made a 2029 server

[lean shadow]

yeah my major was molecular and cell, my alternate was human bio

dang i got so excited too 😭

[green cedar]

so from what I know, they told you explicitly to not put a capped major as your alternate

basically you got accepted as your alternate but since you put a capped major, they accepted you undeclared

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

[lean shadow]

oh boy

[green cedar]

here's a link to all capped majors

[crystal zephyr]

no if u get good grades in ur ucsd classes u can still declare ur major as bio

[lean shadow]

thanks for the info i appreciate it

[green cedar]

yep

but I will say transferring isn't impossible

it depends on the major

[lean shadow]

would u say its worth taking the risk over other offers, i got bio from irvine

[green cedar]

honestly that sounds better

because you're guaranteed to do bio thre

[crystal zephyr]

uci bio is pretty good

[green cedar]

here, you'll have to transfer in which isn't guaranteed

[serene geyser]

go to irvine

[lean shadow]

icic i appreciate it 🙏

[serene geyser]

https://students.ucsd.edu/_files/registrar/2024_25-Alternative-Majors-for-Selective-Majors.pdf this is a useful doc tho if u get in undeclared i think

basically tells u majors u can do instead of the capped major

[green cedar]

is nanoe not capped

[serene geyser]

but lowkey esp for engineering i feel the alternatives r worthless

[serene geyser]

i dont think so

[green cedar]

dang

[serene geyser]

i dont think nano or structural are capped anymore

[green cedar]

ah gotcha

and yea if you don't get in for engineering here honestly go somewhere else

not impossible to transfer in though

[serene geyser]

will say ik some math-cs people who get really good jobs out of undergrad here

but it's a pain to get classes

i think for bio some of the alternatives might be worth but idk

like ive heard good things about EBE and biochem?

[lean shadow]

yeah im considering biochem

[serene geyser]

I also know zero premeds tho lol all my bio friends r doing other things

[lean shadow]

i still have 12 potential offers left so hopefully i get a good bio offer

otherwise ucsd biochem sounds fun

[robust drum]

does ucsd have a loci

and can we submit senior year grades

[rotund geyser]

yea?

[robust drum]

where is the loci

[rotund geyser]

i dont wanna send senior year grades lmfaoo

I got Bs

[robust drum]

it just asks if i wanna opt in

where do i put senior year grades

[warped fulcrum]

dont think so

[robust drum]

bruh

if they dont look at updated grades

the system is so cooked

[sullen meadow]

^ this

[strong oracle]

Does anyone want my unused ucsd sio shirt

It still has the tag lol

Idk what to do with it

[heavy sparrow]

holy shit i got into ucsd but rejected from uci

[sullen meadow]

bet

(i will not fit)

[strong oracle]

Lmao

[gentle copper]

same 😭

[rough marlin]

guys how cooked will i be if i want to change my major from cog sci to data sci after going to college?

[rough marlin]

[rustic jay]

ucs are goofy!

[dusty quarry]

rejected ucsd wl uci 😭

[wind creek]

😭

[mint parcel]

@pastel cape my friend got in for ai

what courses doyu even take in that major

[vital pilot]

data science is more competitive at ucsd

[lean shadow]

uci waitlist mad generous chin up

[sullen meadow]

you've got this o7

[dusty quarry]

thanks

[dusty quarry]

thanks

[pastel cape]

literally nobody knows

cse hasn't said anything about it

[serene geyser]

i could ask my friend who knows cse tea maybe 😭 but i doubt even he knows lol

man has no idea 💀

good luck

[mint parcel]

imagine it skips majority of the cse stuff

like 12 29 and 30

that'd be so bad

[sullen meadow]

manifesting

[serene geyser]

it might skip 30 i feel like but probs wont skip 12 and 29

but yeah its gonna be bad

if i designed the ai major id make them take so much math but instead its gonna be a dumb cs major

[rain ivy]

is SD better than Berkeley for bio?

[brazen hawk]

did anyone get regents for ucsd

[lean shadow]

🙏

[warm comet]

Some ppl did earlier

[plucky bison]

what are marshall lowers, pepper cyn and rita atkinson housing?

[strong oracle]

@dusty quarry

[drowsy sable]

BRO SAMEEEEE

AND ISTG ENGLISH AND HUMANITIES IS MY WORST

idk yet if 5 on ap chinese furfills the language requirement

its confusing af

[plucky bison]

serious question how do you get into your last choice

i didn't think that was even possible

[drowsy sable]

me irl bruh

[plucky bison]

ah well
happens ig

at least you got in :D

[drowsy sable]

bro ngl ERC is really making me think if i wanna commit

cuz the price difference for me between ucsd and uiuc is 13k a yr

like is 52k worth not having to do humanities which i'm going to absolutely bomb

[sullen meadow]

not exactly sure. got into ucsd itself but didn't get into the college of engineering so i think that's prob why

[plucky bison]

I see

[plucky bison]

Which one costs more

Also, is there a UCSD '29 discord?

[drowsy sable]

uiuc

im a california resident

[plucky bison]

hmmm

@drowsy sable did you get your first choice major at ucsd

[drowsy sable]

yes

nanoengineering

i wanna do something with research heavy but ngl with the state of our current gov and all those funding cuts slightly questioning that pathway n ow

[plucky bison]

fair fair

[coral apex]

salutations

i got in john muir for data science

is that a good thing or a bad thing

[green cedar]

it's okay

[serene geyser]

i mean like $52K over 4 years is a good amount of money lol

[drowsy sable]

yeah...

[mint parcel]

muir is decent

[junior pulsar]

how hard to transfer to ucsd

from a 4 yr instate

[pastel cape]

hard

from a 2 year instate community college, easy

[sullen meadow]

jesus

[junior pulsar]

ay but howd avaneesh do it

💀

[pastel cape]

by pissing on one too many desks

[junior pulsar]

LMAO

im gonna put my chances and try this (going from 4 yr to ucsd)

[mint parcel]

you can also see acceptance rate by major somewhere for transfers

[junior pulsar]

what about other uc's

[sullen meadow]

uci: https://irap.uci.edu/undergraduate-admissions/

https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses-majors/transfer-admit-data.html

[wide plank]

this is like the holy bible for transfer applicants btw

[junior pulsar]

san diego my best choice

55

is there a guide for matching csu courses to transferablle uc courses

[sullen meadow]

https://www.assist.org/

[wide plank]

im pretty sure they reject applicants mainly for not doing major prep, gpa reqs are not bad

[junior pulsar]

oh wtf

imma lock in for two years

bet

can i reuse my essays?

or do i need to rwite new ones out

[toxic glade]

omg another muir buddy 😝

[wide plank]

probably new ones for the sake of not "self plagarizing"

[plucky bison]

Is CE very competitive at UCSD?

[frail cobalt]

yea

very

i applied for ECE:CE

[plucky bison]

wait ECE and CE are separate majors?

[mental crescent]

Hey guys... Congratulations to all the new admits

Welcome Tritons Class of 2029

[mental crescent]

[plucky bison]

My friend applied MechE but got given his second choice of CompE ☠️

is that a normal thing to happen

[mental crescent]

Not at all lol. It's usually the other way around 🤣

[plucky bison]

makes sense lol

btw can i dm you real quick @mental crescent

[mental crescent]

This is lowk kinda crazy

Ppl open letter, follow ucsd on insta and look at recent post

Open the comment section and boom costcoclub on the top

[strong oracle]

ez promotion

[mortal lagoon]

If u follow now u up ur chances

[strong oracle]

[mortal lagoon]

When I was on the sd wl I followed Costco club

Now I run the acc

[strong oracle]

manifesting

[mortal lagoon]

Lowk could be u

[strong oracle]

[mortal lagoon]

Can u eat cookies

[strong oracle]

yes

but churros were supreme

[strong oracle]

u were actually waitlisted

i have hope

[plucky bison]

is there any reason to take uiuc over ucsd if oos at both?

[strong oracle]

how much are you paying for uiuc

also do you really like corn over beaches

[mortal lagoon]

Yes I was actually waitlisted

[strong oracle]

what major

[mortal lagoon]

Comms lol

I switched it tho when I got here

But it made sense on my app to apply with it

[strong oracle]

ah

college?

[mortal lagoon]

Erc

Lowk college doesn’t matter

[plucky bison]

idk i was asking on behalf of a friend

nvm

[strong oracle]

which ranking was it if u remember

[mortal lagoon]

Lowk kinda hifh

Cuz I didn’t do enough research into it

Erc was like #3 or 4 for me

[strong oracle]

ah

[mortal lagoon]

Fml tho cuz erc ass

But the colleges they assign you are random

[strong oracle]

hopefully i get 7th

my dumbass put warren at 4

[plucky bison]

What actions do I need to take for housing if/when I commit and is there any possibility i get booted out of my residential college for being late

[mortal lagoon]

Warren not bad

Lowk only good if ur stem, specifically cs or engineering

[strong oracle]

im not cs/eng

so idk

im stem tho

[mystic void]

me

how many people get it? i tried googling but its kinda vague

[strong oracle]

not a lot

thats for sure

im assuming like

500

[plucky bison]

is there any way to get this waived if i'm an american citizen who has never lived in the USA

[mortal lagoon]

Click the link there lmao

If you don’t meet those requirements to waive, ur just gonna have to take a class ab it ig

[warm comet]

I think around like 1% of admits or so

Don’t quote me tho

[vagrant dirge]

how bad is a ucsd waitlist for cs

[lunar dawn]

Do you need to write an loci if u got waitlisted?

[plucky bison]

Yeah, I'm just gonna have to take a class

I can't waive it on the basis of the foreigner exemption because I'm a non-resident American citizen

And I (obviously) haven't done any American History courses

are you cooked if you got admitted undeclared after applying to a major

[left burrow]

Yay i got in!!

[hollow star]

intl, 1540 sat, decent essays and ecs i think

[loud lodge]

i have same question

[loud lodge]

i also have this q

[rain ivy]

How to change college?

[spice elk]

you can change college?

[rain ivy]

Yea apparently

if you can prove that you can finish uni 2 semesters sooner

I applied to Revelle without knowing its extensive gen ed requirements

[lilac socket]

what was the admission rate this year?

[somber drift]

In the discord it aws close to 50%

50% accepted 28% waitlisted and 22% rejected.

I was in the 22% ;-;

[onyx hazel]

it's near impossible to change colleges

[sullen meadow]

self selecting population

probably lower than last year tho

[wind creek]

this is real 😔

people who are accepted are more likely to vote unfortunately

[mortal lagoon]

What major u apply

[plucky bison]

i got my major

my homie did meche and got undeclared

[mortal lagoon]

Idk if meche is capped

If it’s not capped he can switch in easily

If he wants say like CS or something, that’s gonna be like impossible

[sullen meadow]

its capped

[mortal lagoon]

Ok rip

There are alternatives

[peak marsh]

welcome new tritons

choose greatness

[plucky bison]

I ALSO GOT SEVENTH COLLEGE 🔥

UCSD is good for literally anything STEM

[junior pulsar]

[upper matrix]

quantitative finance

[junior pulsar]

[peak marsh]

Oh

Not sure, ik some finance/econ majors here

It probably isn't standout but don't quote me on it

BUt it's a degree from UCSD

[upper matrix]

hm ok

[plucky bison]

@peak marsh what do you think of seventh college GEs

[peak marsh]

Very

[mortal lagoon]

fire is a bit much

[plucky bison]

[lean shadow]

chin up you'll do amazing anywhere

[versed oar]

thank you 🙏

[somber drift]

Ucsd rejection hit me harder than I ever thought it would lol

[iron forge]

Nah. If you want to work quant either berkley or ivies or Stanford. Quant is best of the best. You can get in form ucsd but extremely rare

[marsh crypt]

!quant

[misty warren]

Ding!

Looks like someone's brought up quant again!

I think it’d be better if you analyzed some grass instead.

Used 1856 times.

[strong oracle]

chat we might have a chance

@versed oar

[lean shadow]

i beleive in yaol

[strong oracle]

i read yaol as something else and was like wtf
