<p>So far reading the threads, I have not seen anyone with Poli Sci or other social science majors that goes to Revelle... Everyone that goes to Revelle seems to have Pre-Med or science related majors, since the Revelle GE system works in favor for them. Is there anyone out there that knows of people who go to Revelle as a Social Science major? I would really like to know if going to Revelle would be very hard as a non science related major.</p>
<p>bump
should I consider trying to transfer to another college once I get in using <a href=“http://registrar.ucsd.edu/StudentLink/Intercollege_Transfer_Form.pdf[/url]”>http://registrar.ucsd.edu/StudentLink/Intercollege_Transfer_Form.pdf</a> this?
I really am not strong in math and science… I am not too sure if I want to take the Calculus/Physics classes in Revelle.
Any advices?</p>
<p>it is stated on the checklist that you cannot apply to switch colleges until you meet the basic criteria of completing the colleges writing series</p>
<p>you also have to demonstrate that you can graduate at least two quarters sooner if you switched colleges</p>
<p>from what I’ve been told, these switches are very uncommon</p>
<p>I also believe that somewhere in the admission FAQ or tritonlink, it states that freshmen may not apply to switch colleges</p>
<p>To be quite frank with you it’s very rare for students to switch colleges. Yes, many Revelle students are pre-med, but Political Science isn’t an uncommon major at all. You can always opt for easier science courses designed for non-science majors. They won’t necessarily be incredibly easy, but they won’t be quite as hard.</p>
<p>As for Calculus, if you’re having trouble I strongly recommend you sign up for free tutoring at OASIS. It’s on the fourth floor of Center Hall, and you can sign up within the first week of the quarter. </p>
<p>Overall, it isn’t that difficult to get at least a B in UCSD.</p>
<p>Sorry for the late reply…</p>
<p>@heartarrow, so I just checked the website like you told me to do, and found out that I’d be having to take 2 quarters at Revelle even before being considered to transfer to another school. I guess I’ll just go to Revelle, and try to make the best out of it 
thanks for the input</p>
<p>@justmyview, I’m glad to hear that there are other PoliSci majors in Revelle… I just got anxious since there was no mention of them at all in the threads.
Also, Ill check up on the OASIS tutoring, seems like I will be needing the help from them for calculus. Thanks for your input as well :)</p>
<p>I’m a current PoliSci major and I know a ton of PoliSci majors who go to Revelle. And I don’t know about Revelle, but in ERC you’re not allowed to overlap a lot of major requirements with most of your G.E.s, so it probably wouldn’t matter that much anyway. I can tell you that I’m in ERC (which has almost as many G.E.s as Revelle does), and if I wanted to, I could graduate in 3 years with my major and G.E.s completed and no overlap between them. I won’t, because I have a minor, but I honestly wouldn’t worry about it.</p>
<p>Me and my friend got into revelle. I’m pre-med but she’s undeclared and plans on going into social science.</p>
<p>i got into sixth as a bio major and will gladly trade colleges to get into reveille. pm me!</p>
<p>I was accepted to Sixth College and I found out through UCSD directly that one way to transfer colleges is if you trade with someone. I’ve been trying to transfer into Revelle and that was the only option I was giving by admissions. If you are interested in transferring into Sixth I would gladly take your spot in Revelle.</p>
<p>I heard that trading spots is only for transfer students, and not for newly admitted freshmen, though I may be wrong. Can anyone clarify on this?</p>
<p>You can only switch colleges after you’ve finished your college’s GE sequence and if you can demonstrate that switching colleges will allow you to graduate faster. In practice, by the time you’re done with your GE sequence, you’re done with most of your other requirements and there’s no point in switching, and almost no one ever changes colleges. And to be frank, if you’re a polisci major without a second major or minor, you need the units. Polisci has 16 required classes (3 lower divs, a stats class, and 12 upper divs), which doesn’t give you nearly enough units to graduate.</p>
