<p>@torres1892: Hey, try to come to Admit Day so that you can get a feel of the campus to help you decide! because moving from the east coast is a big deal…</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you know of any specific cutbacks the school is making as a result of the California budget crisis? I am an out-of-stater and this is a concern for me.</li>
<li>How do credits relate to units? I found on the website the amount of units it takes to graduate, but I don’t know how that relates to amount of credits. For example, if a course says that it is six credits, how many quarters does it take to complete?</li>
</ol>
<p>@rathskeller: So because of the budget crisis, the UC’s are trying to recruit more out of state students because they pay more. “For 2009–10, nonresidents were charged an additional $22,717 in tuition and other fees” so… now add the 32% increase, which would be like an additional 7,000… sooo the total for out of state students would be around $30,000 a year. [Universities</a> offering in-state tuition to out-of-state students - USATODAY.com](<a href=“http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-01-12-in-state-out_N.htm]Universities”>http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-01-12-in-state-out_N.htm) and [University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/fees.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/adminfo/fees.html)</p>
<ol>
<li>Credits and units are the same thing. “College courses are assigned a value in what are called “credits” or “units.” The number of units assigned to a course corresponds to the number of hours that a student will attend class for that course.” People can take 12 units and up to 22 units each quarter… so you would take the six unit class plus other classes in one quarter.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks for your answers…they are very helpful :)</p>
<p>Do you know anything about the Honors program for Muir? Muir’s website doesn’t list the qualifications :/</p>
<p>hello! you are just amazing and generous for answering all these questions!</p>
<p>I was admitted to Warren College with undeclared major.</p>
<p>1) i heard that warren is an easy way out (GE’s) for engineer majors. I’m going toward public policy and law or business! Will it be difficult for me at Warren? with the studies that im going toward, is UCSD not suitable for me? i got into uci, which school is better for me?</p>
<p>2) Is it mandatory to take the placement tests?
i received a 3 in AP english language, and low on CR on SAT like 600 or lower, can’t recall
Math, I got 4 on ap calc ab, and currently taking BC. 710 SAT II math 2c.</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>@clarkfobes: thanks again, I gotta admit I’m surprised the program is that well recognized lol. I wish i could be there on the 10th, but i have to go to an admitted freshman day out here. The $50K OOS pricetag is a bit of a deterrent haha</p>
<p>@maylix: I just know that you get to take ,Muir 90 Honors Seminar, which is an invitation only program that is offered only to incoming freshmen. This is not definite, but in order to get the invite, you need a pretty high GPA, like above a 3.7 and pretty high SAT scores (like Warren’s honors program, where you need 700+ on each SAT subject and a 3.7), but all colleges have different requirements for their honors program. </p>
<p>@yunjh2725: </p>
<ol>
<li>Yes, it is true that Warren GE’s are easier for engineers, but the GE’s are pretty easy in general for whatever major so it really doesn’t matter. It’s just that majors besides engineers have to take two programs of concentrations outside their major category (either social sciences, humanities or science/math). This makes it easy to minor as well as gives you the opportunity to explore different classes and have diverse classes. </li>
</ol>
<p>I’m just going to tell you what you could do if you do decide to come to UCSD if you plan to major in business/law/public policy because UCSD is not as well as well known for those majors as compared to the science ones. Actually, “. UCSD is ranked 7th in the nation, and third among all public schools, for political science, with top ten rankings for the specialties of comparative politics (3), American politics (6), international politics (6), and political methodology (7). UCSD economics is ranked 2nd best among public universities, and 10th overall in the nation. It is also 2nd for econometrics, 12th in microeconomics, 16th in macroeconomics, and 16th in international economics.” … so that’s pretty good.
UCSD only has the School of Management, that offers a management science and economics major. There’s also like international studies major that is pretty high ranked too. Well, Marshall college has a public service minor, where you can take a government track, health, social issues or educational track. </p>
<p>Honestly, if you are planning to go grad school (since you want to major in law or business), which undergrad college you choose to go to doesn’t really matter as long as you have a high GPA to get into a prestigious grad school.

<li> You don’t have to take a placement test for Calc because you got a 4 on the test, so you can automatically enroll in Math10B or 20B. Just remember to send your AP Scores. [Testing</a> and Evaluation Office](<a href=“http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/apcredit.shtml]Testing”>http://mathtesting.ucsd.edu/apcredit.shtml)
Also, since you got a 3 on AP english language, you don’t need to take the entry level writing requirement test, so you automatically start with Warren Writing 10A.</li>
</ol>
<p>you guys have said that freshmen registration for the first quarter is a lottery - so basically pure luck. if we have AP credit, will that help us, or is it still a lottery for everyone?</p>
<p>^No, it’s a lottery for everyone. After that though, your AP credits will start counting for the number of units you have which determines your registration time.</p>
<p>What are the main differences between Math 10A, 10B, and 20A?</p>
<p>I’m a science major, so I know I’ll be taking calculus. I’m currently enrolled in AP Calc AB, and I’m hoping to get a 4 or 5 on the exam. I wanna take a class similar to Calculus II.</p>
<p>@orangeicecream:
The Math20 series is usually for math/engineering majors.
The Math10 series is usually easier. </p>
<p>10A. Calculus (4)</p>
<p>Differentiation and integration of algebraic functions. Fundamental theorem of calculus. Applications. (No credit given if taken after Math. 20A). Prerequisite: Math Placement Exam qualifying score, or AP Calculus AB score of 2, or SAT II Math. Level 2 score of 600 or higher, or Math. 3C with a grade of C or better, or Math. 4C with a grade of C– or better.</p>
<p>10B. Calculus (4)</p>
<p>Further applications of the definite integral. Calculus of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Complex numbers. (No credit given if taken after Math. 2B/20B. Formerly numbered Math. 1B.) Prerequisite: AP Calculus AB score of 3, 4, or 5 (or equivalent AB subscore on BC exam), or Math. 10A with a grade of C– or better, or Math. 20A with a grade of C– or better. </p>
<p>20A. Calculus for Science and Engineering (4)</p>
<p>Foundations of differential and integral calculus of one variable. Functions, graphs, continuity, limits, derivative, tangent line. Applications with algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Introduction to the integral. (Two credits given if taken after Math. 1A/10A and no credit given if taken after Math. 1B/10B or Math. 1C/10C. Formerly numbered Math. 2A.) Prerequisite: Math Placement Exam qualifying score, or AP Calculus AB score of 2 or 3 (or equivalent AB subscore on BC exam), or SAT II Math. 2C score of 650 or higher, or Math. 4C with a grade of C– or better, or Math. 10A with a grade of C– or better. </p>
<p>I guess if you want to take a class similar to Calc II, it would be math20b and above.
If you get a 4 or 5 on the AP exam, then you can start taking Math20B or Math20C right off the bat.</p>
<p>Are there any perks for being in your college’s honor program? Because I was looking at Sixth’s honor program page and it only says the requirements to get in. Do we get priority registration or something?</p>
<p>@anagenesis: No priority registration, but I guess the perks are the bragging rights and… like you get to have a group of honors friends, having connections/networking because you get to do all these activities and meet professors and etc.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to apply to oasis and what the criteria is to be accepted into the summer transition programs?</p>
<p>@ clarkfobes</p>
<p>What’s Math 20B/C about?</p>
<p>I hope this hasn’t been asked before but as a freshman living in Marshall, can you request suitemates?</p>
<p>@orangeicecream</p>
<p>What science are you? The Math 10 series is for non-physical science majors (Biology) and the Math 20 series is for physical science majors (Physics, Chemistry).</p>
<p>I’m actually both… haha… biochemistry. XD</p>

<p>@californiaxo: you can request roommates, but not suitemates at any college.</p>
<p>What do you need to have in order to be invited in the OASIS UCSD Programs? Is there a certain set of stats you need to have in order to be invited? (like GPA or SAT scores and etc.)</p>
<p>And is it like the UCI Freshman Summer Start Program? Because I got something in the mail about that.</p>
