no
it's just the amount of classes you have to take
lol
unless you do three years
then it's fine
but you're not finishing with 60 sem units though
oh
you need calc sequence, linalg + ode, physics sequence, and engineering sequence
yeah
though i forget if thats required for ucsd's engi
ill check after this stupid fucking data science class
giving this fucker 1/5 on rmp five times
nha it prolly is
lemme see
ik engi has shitty seequences
but you can check
just know that if its listed as "optional" it's probably actually mandatory
To apply forĀ transferĀ admission to a UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering major, students should complete theĀ UC Undergraduate ApplicationĀ and select an engineering major as their first choice. The annual filing period isĀ November 1-30.
?
because youre still going to be competing against people who actually have those classes
is this the site
no pull up assist.org
yeah
yeah im on it
is it all this stuff or what?
oh š
gg
full maths sequence, physics, chem 1, engineering
thats fun
you have a good one though
tbf its not really the fact you wouldnt be able to learn
š
just that cramming into four terms is a bitch
so id probablyr recommend doing winter/summer too
if you did cc
i mean i have ap credits
why doesnt assist allow you to show from a 4 year bruh
because uc transfer isnt exactly built for non-cc
csus š
oh well
ill give it a shot
wont like my ap scores give credit too
like calculus
chemistry
physics
just go to cc if u really wanna go to ucsd lol
itās def better than from a csu
ucsd website says like 90% of transfers are from cc
well yeah
yeah i know
master plan of higher edcuation
well my parents wont let me go cc
unfortunate
convince them otherwise
cause then they'll just be like go to penn state
for aero
gotta take the risk
i have sjsu or penn state
for aero
issue is that stem in 3 years is a hard bargain
hell summer/winter classes can be too
just go to sjsu
sjsu has good connections anyway youll be fine lol
thats my current choice
lock in, network
so i wanna give it another shot
like if it doesnt work out transfering its fine
ill prolly finish my degree at sjsu
awesome
and try getting masters at ucsd
yeah if ur willing to go to sjsu thatās fine
berkeley is stupid
š
ucla is stupid
thought u were like dead set on ucsd
nah like i am but its not like i cant do anything now after being rejected LOL
what major?
js curious
its lame
what was ur gpa
im switching when i transfer though
in retrospect i should have done a diff major
berkeley stats sucks
3.66 uw š
oh rip
i was not locked in my freshmen and first year soph year
so real
everything sucks
i wish i was born so rich i never need a job
nah im just tired of grinding
i honestly had 0 clue about college admissions and the nature of how competitive this can get until like mid soph year
š
id say "cant wait for summer" but i might have to retake actuary exams
same same
r u a bay area as well
dw i got waitlisted with a 4.4 uc gpa and a 4.0 uw but idrc about ucsd
yeah
idk waht uc's be doing each year
š
one of my fam friends got rejected or wl almost everywhere they applied and ended up getting in berk
idk I really care about college life donāt wanna go to socially dead school anyway :P
is it actually socially deda
i love ucsd cause its right next to beach
apparently so no one talks to u
the campus is amazing
oh š
uni is what you make of it
(anything for sd still)
but certain cultures push towards certain places
i will say that ucsd does have a social life
depending on how you define it
yeah i think u gotta put urself out there
š
except for finaid
yeah
not like i use the money anyway
oh
so i get the bare minimum
u had to do it urself?
ohh
cc is free in cali š„
i mean they told me to go to a cc
which is really good
okay
so heres the thing
that is with an asterisk
idts
multiple of my cc districts do
i think my local cc costs 5k
but not all
or im just tweaking
there are promise programs
but idt my cc is free
o really idk de anza was free for me lol
but it doesnt cover all fees
dac promise only covers <$200k income
fh covers everyone though
i did like 2 de courses from there LMAO
rate my prof fro the cs teachers
i only know this because i have an account with them
were insanse
oh
ong lol
fasfsa is not giving me anything š
they gave me a 5k loan bruh
like i dont get the point of a 5k loan
im probably full ride with all ucs but like
fuck this semester man
i have senioritis
already
lmao
me rn
nah its lowk kinda bad though
im taking 60 sem units
so mind me if im like tired asf
of ts
i took it super chill senior year with only 2 ap classes that are p easy so I donāt rly have senioritis cuz thereās like no work
yea thats fair
oh yeha
im doing 5 rly
calc
Physics
gov
macro
š
wait
i forget what else
do those not count towards ur 60 credits
alr alr
doesnt mean you finished the major prep
i only have micro and chem and chem is light so idk
maths sequence alone is like
I donāt even go to class half the time except for labs
around 20 sem units
yeah i know know
but I think transferring from cc is mostly just gpa based
oh yeah
that + classes
which is why im not too worried
i have a 4.0 + 200 sem units
under my belt
so im chilling
ur def chilling
what abt piqs
also on trnasfer apps? do u need like ecs and all?
oh
yeah I checked u do
do u need ecs on transfer apps too
oh
yea
but itās not freshman admissions where itās like split even
ohh
gpa is def like the biggest factor
yea its mostly a stats check
though people have gotten in with essays
if you scroll through berkeley spmp's instagram there's a couple of kids who had stellar ecs/stories but shitty gpas
idk if ucsd does tag I forgot
imma be locked in ššæ
no
but thatās also an option for other ucs
everyone but cal, ucla, ucsd
wait but lwk lock in at sjsu and go for a masters
if i were dead set on actuary id kill for ucsb tag though
ucsb actuary is like
rank 1
imo
clears so easily
im prob commuting there for ee if I donāt get cal or off waitlists
commiting*
bs + ms + exams paid for
wait yeah it is so good
i was actually looking into actuarial science
but so many exams
no
you just need p & fm
to be competitive
if youre actually the tryhard of your school it isnt that hard to clear p & fm with self-studying
in fact idt people go into any jobs full certified
dont you have to keep on doing more and more exams as you progress in career
Donāt think math cs is impacted so should be easy
i wonder how ucsd does look at waitlist though
cds says itās ranked so based off of ?

yeah
masters was always a plan
im gonna try attempting to transfer
nothing to loose 
doesnt work out ill go for masters
lowkey i have a feeling the bay area reader had a bad day
lotta waitlists and rejections
yep. ngl i might end up having to go like scu or smthing if ucsb, ucla, or berk doesnt go well
okay the thing is that ds is its own department at ucsd
whether or not you all care for that is up to you
which also means they have their own set of curriculum in their department
ucs r just money hungry icl
š
they want the 80k tuition
Why the fuck did they undeclare me
Hell no bro i want mech e
yk what i didnāt want ucsd anyway
dav?
wl š
3 wl for ucs so far
if i get another im genuinely going to flip
Idts that's gonna be a problem
The other way around is pretty hard ig
god damn
yeah our local uc application reader def had a bad day
waitlisted everyone and their mother
i think my area also had someone who was having a bad day
I choose nanoengineering as my alternate major for waillist as its not capped
does that increase chances?
Guys so if mech e is capped what do i do?
you just take their screening courses and hope for thebest
from what I've read, waitlist is already ranked, so hard to tell
had a banner and got accepted
holy portal astrology
That actually sucks
No way im admitting if i donāt get a guarantee on this
from what i've heard they could just accept you if they have enough spots
Well they clearly didnāt Iām undeclared
I managed to switch into EE, and although it's a different major I'd say the process isn't as impossible at it seems
man if they can only settle mech E spots with cage fights
assuming you have a strong math/physics background
Yeah weāre good
but honestly, if you have an offer for MechE somewhere else
you could consider that as well
uh i'll have to ask him
this is like very, very rare
bs in my opinion
btw, is it possible to switch to an uncapped engineering before you officially enroll/start? or do i have to do that after 1st year
@lilac socket so these are the requirements for mech e
honestly, all these classes are really doable
Thatās not a problem
20A/20B is skippable with AP Calc AB/BC
It can literally be in topology and I wouldnāt care
I do believe it's possible
okok
even so, those classes aren't that bad
u trying to go into nanoe/structural e?
Iāll manage either way
would i have to contact an AO/counselor about doing this? it's not in the major change portal
idk why my dad likes cool sounding majors
I believe only those two are the uncapped engineering majors
honestly I might wait to do this until after you commit and all that
once you get a UCSD account you can ask at vac.ucsd.edu
got into the college, didn't get into chem e. nano e sounds interesting and i'd be willing to do that for a little while before i try to switch to chem e
mhm, I actually used to be chem E
and from what I know you can switch between the two
without doing much since they're in the same department
Tbh i wanna get the knowledge for a chem degree, but I donāt want to study it for a degree
chemeng is not about chemistry really
oh sick
another question: do dual enrollment classes count towards your overall GPA?
like if you were to use a dual enrollment class to cover a req/get credits
as in classes taken concurrently while in college?
classes taken in HS
yeah
a B in gen psych at a CC lowered down my UC gpa
sorry meant college GPA
Iām an international student itāll be a little hard to visit before actually settling
U seem to be studying there
i think it depends
well yes
if you want it counted
idk i've heard from some that you can choose to retake the class or smt i'm praying that the B doesn't lower down my GPA
cheme is less about the typical "chemistry" like a periodic table, but more of learning processing systems
Easier than i thought
sure hope so
I thought it was pure chemistry
nah there's a pure chemistry major for that
WAIT
If take a double major with chem eng, would it add that much extra courses or not?
you mean double majoring in chemistry + chem eng?
No mech e and chem e
wdym?
you cannot double major in two engineering degrees
so apparently UCSD waitlists are ranked. which i'm assuming means that you're number whatever on a long waitlist line. now no one knows how they decide it so your alternate major being whatever shouldn't really matter
wow i didn't even know that it is ranked
yes I didn't as well
who knows
that's so scummy ranking a waitlist and not letting the applicants know
based on memory they don't reveal it to anyone not even counselors
I mean sorta yea
I know like in other countries, Korea for example, they tell you your waitlist number
not here though
but korea's school system's just miserable and this is the only solace they can get
would you really want to know though
i mean it'd be best if i knew where i was
like i feel like its better if you don't
at least i know if i should commit there or not or like feel excited or not but i get what you mean
especially if you're towards the cutoff
like imagine being 2617th on the list in 2024
damn it
"not ranked" 
they're lying their asses off in that FAQ
Donāt shoot the messenger just posting what it says on the faq š
we didn't even shoot you š we shot the FAQ dude
Rip faq dude fly high šļø
i hope its ranked lowkey
they could be looking up at us rn š
I just know Iām last on that list tho
why do you expect yourself to be high
cuz im cool like that
I have some friends with perfect gpas who were waitlisted
well fuck maybe not ranked
they were looking for something
Iām surprised I was grouped in with them one of our valedictorians was waitlisted
afaik the only person who got into ucsd from my school got into caltech š
fr
so many of my friends got wl or rejected š
i wish i could give other people admissions to schools
like some people would kill for davis
i mentioned ucsd in my piqs
Gen ik 3 people out of the 80 or so kids that applied that got in
they waitlisted me
š
no aura man
Me with ucla š
don't even talk about that i'm balding rn
I volunteered at a ucla hospital and have like 200 hours I HAD TO BROš
probably
Either a blessing or a curse
i wish i lived near UCLA so i could do that š
i wouldn't mind a ucla acceptance š
but its the college so they dont gaf
i have 200+ hours at a local hospital serving migrant workers
aura
spanish helps tons i might minor in spanish
Iād rather berk than la but Iām not picky ILL TAKE ANYTHING šš
bruh
I mean i knew a guy that got both mechanical and aeronautical degrees, because in his senior year he saw that the classes were similar and he got 2 degrees by the end of that senior year
Idk how he did it exactly
Dude thatās so cool tho and Iām sure u made a huge impact
To support you, i have buzzed my hair
i mean the majority of those who went to that hospital were migrant workers not all of them
idk if i made impact but i wrote one of my UC piqs about language barriers and mutual human respect or smt
a double degree lwk sounds nice
Lmao
i want biology and music deadass
being a piano player sounds sick rn
That sounds like a good piq topic tho
Itās even nicer when you get the second one by barely working
i would lwk enjoy something like chem e - history
idek at this point everyone wrote their piqs a day before the due date š
transfer to revelle college please
Ahem
Cough cough me
all the humanities courses are history courses
tbh i think i did very well
fuck man i wish
why did i get roosevelt </3
I ranked Roosevelt second š
i ranked it last š
you can try to move to revelle since they're accepting the transfer thingies
just prove that you can graduate 2 quarters earlier if you were to transfer to revelle lol
I love the history and language requirements at some of the colleges
did you rank revelle first
i've heard people say that revelle's really bad but to me it doesn't sound THAT bad
but i won't know until i've gone there
nah Muir
But tbh only cuz my friend said it was the best
Good luck lmao
muir is super flexible
Girl I didnāt even get in soš
more blue haired people than i can count
girl is crazy
is it hard to get ur first choice college in general
i got into my first choice since i ranked revelle first and no one likes revelle
Also 25% admission rate why didnāt u get in
prolly capped major
mmw is about to murder me
Tbh i couldnāt tell the difference
ah i ranked warren first bc im engineering
Nah i did mech e and got undeclared
They wanted me baddd
i ranked revelle first since it has premed geneds mostly
same
and it's good for research apparently?
since the humanities courses improve your writing skills tenfold
Ranked eighth first for some reason
At least its new!
Oh i got into it lol
my friend got into there for engineering
idk why he didn't rank warren first but we made the list together for different paths š
Me too
But THEY MADE ME UNDECLAREDD
LIKE WHO DOES THAT
i am ngl i had no clue how to rank them so i just looked at the walking distance from engineering š + the gen eds are good for stem for warren
undeclared engineering or just undeclared in general?
in gen
u got warren right
7th exists buddy
i thought warren was secluded there's like a line of all 7 of the colleges and warren is to the right
yeah
i know revelle is far away from the campus center since it's second from the bottom
it is but itās closed to engineering buildings
*closest
i think
yeah it is
itās far from everything else tho
Just undeclared
Look if im not getting mech e im not going to their fancy rooms nor am i studying in their cool college
in that..pretty nice city tbh
Fuck ucsd is too good man
it's a nerd's dream
not a lot of parties and just academic grind but a bit of relaxation just not the "drug and party" relaxation
Iād be lying if i wasnāt happy about getting admitted
Man my reaction video is a piece of work
i was deadass ecstatic my dad yelled at me for screaming too loud
lol
I told my dad that i got in he was like šš»
EVEN IOS KNOWS WHAT HEāLL SAY
nonchalant dad
lol
wait hold up eighth college is so far away from the engineering buildings
Yeah i kinda need the cardio
i mean like REALLY far
at least you're near revelle where you'll hear the screams of humanities students all around
God no
man why do humanities subjects exist
cause we love humans
and we've accomplished a lot by working together
but we also destroy the things we've made š
to the engineering building? that's actually doable
Yeah
i'm gonna invest my savings into a bike
sixth college seems kinda tiny
yeah cause it's like close to everything
And u wont sleep in june
Wait where did u get this
it's just the campus map
Yeah trust go with the more chill people
The normal relaxed all year round
8th and revelle prolly got the chillest people in UCSD
Thankss
8th revelle and warren
Idk revelle
Or warren
š
but revelle and 8th are close to each other
the oldest campus and the newest campus
eighth college is GORGEOUS
and revelle is so ugly š
Okay thank u <3
here's ASU's dorms even though it's not shwoning everything
it looks the same
except more jam packed probably
UC berkeley's residence hall š
yo the interior of these dorms pmo
for revelle
i cannot live in a triple like ts
now i know never to go to blake hall
now i need to study in my room ā¹ļø
or the common area
wait argo hall looks amazing
man that looks miserable
this is probably the best it can get in revelle
holy hell
Jacked šŖš»
This looks like a house for a young chinese tech genius
Wtf is this
Iād rather rent an apartment outside
no don't even ask i don't know either
i'd rather camp outside in a tent
Guys how is seventh college?
Bro the army corps have it better than that
fire but kinda far
Food and all is edible right?
i'm pretty sure all food is edible
i think they have a ramen shop iirc
wtb proper food
steaks, rice, fries, vegetables, fruits
Ahh okay
Bro fuck this i want red meat
how come i canāt get any?
just cuz iām in eighth
yeah 7th college is all the way up north near the business areas
idk why they gave up on giving names
Next ucsd college name prediction: Nivea
6th college has waited 30 years i thought
nevermind
30 years to be named 6th is sad
they waited 24 years
I believe a donor buys the name
that's cool as hell
I might be wrong though, I only say that because thats how the colleges at UCSC got their names
Damn I didnāt know Costco club had bread like that
Day 3 of hoping I get off the ucsd waitlist
Self promo is wild
Tbh all UCs should have a Costco club
Creating the Costco club was a true W of yours
UC riverside and UC Santa Cruz have one
Others should start adopting
We should start chapters at each UC
Fuck ye
Good day to be a ucsc admit š
I saw someone on my bus with a Costco shirt
A couple weeks ago
W
It's spreading
Did u talk to them
No bc it was as we got off that I saw them
Avg comm major
Ok business major
Lmao
sure bro what crayons do u guys use
Personally Iām a fan of prisma color
Crayola is a little to brittle imo
Praying for may to bless me
š¤§
On god
don't try to be special
crayola >
would any of you guys consider being in revelle a deal breaker for ucsd
As long as i go to ucsd I'll be happy š¤·
did u do research on revelle LOL its humanities central there
fair
I like myself some humanities
Nah
are you premed
you're gonna be surrounded by people who are doing the same gen eds as you so nah
guys i love ucsd
im not in revelle
my premed friend is
im meche @ seventh
got exactly what i wanted
i gotta cope with being a revellian
good luck
premed?
oh ur still ok then
at least that's what i've heard
i see
im so happy i got into seventh
@onyx hazel was revelle ur first choice?
but seventh is so far away from everywhere š
muir
muir then revelle
best housing and best dining
and also
it's not as secluded as warren
nah i'd bet sixth
ā ļø
sixth is good at everything
true
idk
i put seventh 1st and sixth 2nd LOL
then marshall #3 and eighth #4
mine was like muir and revelle then sixth and those were the only three that mattered
fair
i had muir warren erc and revelle at the bottom
i didnt want to risk getting into any of those 4
cant hurt
nah that's good you put revelle on the bottom for meche
Lol
but why'd you have warren near bottom i thought that was good for engineering
cause it's near all the engineering buildings
warren dorms are mid asf
warren and revelle's dorms are by far the worst dorms
Thatās a lie, Marshall is worse than Warren
Though next school year Marshall will mog
is the argo residence hall good in your opinion
for revelle
Iām not in revelle so canāt answer that
i heard freshman donāt get the new dorms tho
i mean i got marshall so bless if we do but i heard we get the old ones
No but muir
day 2 manifesting i get off the ucsd waitlist
U too šš?
yes
we got 2 girls manifesting getting off the ucsd wl
No
alr
well
im in seventh so
who gaf
idk why im asking all this
i got my major AND my college
Revelle is everything lol. Need humanities, calc, language, other science shit too
W
@mortal lagoon which dorms are the best/worst in terms of living quality?
i meant like colleges ranked
i see
Towers prolly where u gonna end up tho lol
also i was telling my mom how awesome seventh was and i was like "brand new dorms! built only 15 years ago" and she was aghast
Elevator just straight up stops working
she was like 'thats old'
Naw thatās very new
exactly
In the scheme of all colleges
Well now itās gonna be dated
fucking marshall bro
i shouldve put marshall at 1
Bc of 6th, 8th and new Marshall
6th built 2020
6th is in the center of campus too
Which is easier for walking
Remember, ucsd is HUGE
2x the size of Disneyland
chat i think its over
The library in the middle is the central point
7th is on the hill too lmao
LOL
Uphill walk back home
I got a bike
Bc I lived in 7th
Yes near Geisel and the trolley station :3
did your bike ever get stolen
damn
My housemates bike got stolen
@serene geyser how's ee
2 quarters
But she parked it next to canyon view
Mb
would anybody help me if i knew where the bike went ā ļø
Itās actually great the ece department is amazing here I love the faculty and students sm
damn nice
Realistically no
do you know if transferring from me to ee is doable @serene geyser
U can police report but bikes get stolen every day
who even steals bikes
other students? do people come on campus just to steal bikes?
makes sense
They bring cutters at middle of night
I think theyāre changing the transfer to major system soon so idk what itāll be like for you but for past students tbh u just had to do good in the intro classes and youād almost basically get in
No comment
oh i know somebody who kept their bike in their dorm
at a different college ofc
but i know someone
Yea thatās common too
ucsd is looking like the place ima commit too š
dirty ahh dorm bro
DAMN
Bike rack
Yea
how did you switch out of 7th??
I lived erc first year, 7th second year, 8th this year
Iām in erc
ohhh
U got third year housing?
erc overflow
But I got put in housing overflow
Lucky
bro lucked out
I hope I get into grad housing I put myself on the waitlist in SEPTEMBER
what is costco club??
Even more now
that sounds lit
Theyāre building more I think itāll be more doable for u than it was for me š
Best club
okay
what about...
fourth year housing...
I say having gone to one Costco club event ever
A safe space to talk about Costco
Not counting the chicken
i gotta join if i commit
We take ppl to Costco
without memberships??
i will join
@ucsdcostcoclub
i will get a costco membership
oh damn
Wait why does Costco club follow oSTEM lmao 𤩠𤩠feel honored
@mortal lagoon is it necessary (or practical lmfao) to have a car on campus
We also host rotisserie chicken event
costco club here i comr
Narr
Only if u live off campus
i see
Even if u live off campus itās doable to exist without a car tbh
are those bus lines
Buses are good
Lowk I did not explore sd enough
Which why I think car might be cool to have
Like I didnāt leave the 5 mile radius for the last 2 years š
Iāve transit to so many places in sd tho lol
do ppl go down to tijuana often? bc ik i will be if i do end up going
Like hillcrest is pretty easy to reach by transit and itās a fun area
Esp if ur over 21 š¤§
yea i cooked myself
its def possible
takes more time tho and u gotta wait, but it is free
all busses and trolly are free for students
I should make a transit map of all the places Iāve been on transit š
IKEA in mission valley :3 which is next to snapdragon
ummmm does anyone know if ERC is actually as bad as ppl say it is
itās overhated
Add one dude
3 manifestors okay
yo 1 more
guys stop manifesting cmon
what else are we supposed to do while on the wl
cope
Yea
where my waitlist warriors at
Gonna be a long wait till may chat
Dawg u didn't get waitlisted from ucsd
Bro is an admit warrior
š
How many
plenty of time to figure out non ucsd plans (i will be checking my portal daily despite the fact i know i wont potentially hear back till may/june)
God damn which ones
Accepted to sd but wl by Pomona is wild
R u engineering? It has to be yield protect
Bro if you got ucsd youāre so chilling
