<p>1) Should be pretty easy. They review your GPA but they approved mine in a week.
2) You’ll see the differences in the upper divs. Look it up on the UCSD Bio department.</p>

<li><p>No it is not easy to switch to an impacted major because they are impacted no matter what major you are switching from. (not definite on this)</p></li>
<li><p>Yes there are. You study different things and take different classes. For more info, check out the requirements for each bio major: [Major</a> table](<a href=“http://biology.ucsd.edu/undergrad/majors/majortable.html]Major”>http://biology.ucsd.edu/undergrad/majors/majortable.html)</p></li>

<p>Thank you both. The table really helped.</p>
<p>@clarkfobes So would the quiet hours be only during finals week or certain times everyday like wrditali said?</p>
<p>@ramennation </p>
<p>So Technically, there are quiet hours everyday. “More specifically, quiet hours begin at 11 pm on Sunday through Thursday nights and at 1 am on Friday and Saturday nights. All activity must be consistent with your neighbors sleeping or late-night quiet study habits. Taking into consideration your own personal lifestyle, you may need to adjust your own living habits to comply with this policy. It may be time to purchase a good set of headphones!” </p>
<p>However, they are not as enforced during regular school days. They are strictly enforced during finals week. Quiet Hours do not mean that you cannot make any noise or talk, you just need to respect that others may be studying or sleeping.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I’m not party animal by any means but I was just curious about the Quiet Hours policy. Also, even though the suites are males/females only we are allowed to bring friends of the opposite gender to our dorms if they’re visiting right? Sorry about all the questions, college is so new to me!</p>
<p>Yeah, of course! If you have roommates, however, you may need to talk to them about how they feel about having the opposite gender stay over or something. It’s okay, I’m happy to answer your questions!</p>
<p>1) single vs double - can you help with decision? besides common sense stuff - single is more expensive but you get privcacy; double gives you hopefully a friend right away. What other things should a freshman be thinkiing about to make a decision. thanks!</p>
<p>Lots of questions about class registration: </p>
<p>I know it’s online, but is it opened to all students at the same time (i.e., freshmen to seniors)? Or is your access to register limited to how many units you have? Basically, is it a feeding frenzy when class registration is open?</p>
<p>How easy is it for freshmen to register in GE classes? Do they close quickly? Do you usually get the classes you need without a problem? </p>
<p>Is there a better time of the day to get a class: morning, afternoon?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the answers everyone!</p>
<p>@elee122 ~ You changed to an impacted major. Just curious as to what is your major? I applied for bioE and am currently undeclared.</p>
<p>@king81</p>
<p>Since the dorms are in suites, you’ll be around a lot of other people anyway, so don’t think that you won’t be meeting anybody in a single, but if you have a double, then yeah, you have another person in there with you. It’s pretty much just a privacy thing.</p>
<p>@boseph</p>
<p>Except for the fall quarter, which was a lottery system (at least for freshmen, maybe not others, somebody verify this), class registration times go by numbers of units. You can keep adjusting your schedule up until the end of the 2nd week of classes that quarter, and drop a class until the end of the 4th week. It’s easy for freshmen to get GEs. I’ve never had trouble getting classes I need and I have bad sign-up times. I may not necessarily get them at the times I want, but I will get them nonetheless. I can’t say the same will be true for me moving on, but so far so good. About what time to take classes, it really depends on your preferences on when you want to go to class. Most people don’t want really early and really late classes so the afternoon ones fill up the fastest. Also, some people like their schedules spread out and some like theirs bunched together. It also depends on where the class is, cause you don’t want back to back classes that go from York to WLH to York to WLH or something like that. You’ll see what I mean when you get here. If anybody ever needs help scheduling classes, I can help you out.</p>
<p>^Yeah, it’s a lottery system for only freshmen each fall. Everyone else still goes by # of units.</p>
<p>I was accepted to a sixth college as communication program!
so I have question…</p>
<ol>
<li>how is UCSD’s communication program? I think I heard it is pretty reputed in the nation…</li>
<li>how is it to have sixth college for a communication program student?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Hi there!
I was also accepted to sixth in Undeclared Social Sciences. I’m also wondering about the communication program since I might want to minor in it… </p>
<p>Also, is it okay… or “bad” if I was a major in Economics but took the Math 10 series?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Hello!
I was accepted into Muir college as an undeclared major even though i put biology as my first choice. I know that biology is an impacted major and it is hard getting in if you aren’t accepted into the major as a freshman but could I change to pharmacological chemistry before signing up for classes?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>^Since it’s in the department of chemistry I guess it’s not impacted so you should be able to change to it whenever. But, you could still sign up for the classes you need without being in the major yet. Not being in the major doesn’t necessarily restrict you from taking them, just it case it takes more time to switch into.</p>
<p>@aznfromva: UCSD’s communications department is ranked #2 in theory and production. I’m actually taking COGN20: the introduction to communications class right now and the professor is really good!! I have a friend at sixth and a comm. major right now and its fairly easy because you can graduate in 3 years since the requirements are simple. Check this out: [UCSD</a> Communication - Undergraduate](<a href=“http://communication.ucsd.edu/Requirements.html]UCSD”>http://communication.ucsd.edu/Requirements.html). There is a 4 year major plan somewhere too. </p>
<p>@tennisfan123: definitely consider communications because the professors are really good and the material is really interesting (i.e. you learn about what clothes people wear say about a person). For Math 10A; economics major actually recommend you take math 10A: Check the four year plan out at : <a href=“https://aventeur.ucsd.edu/public/student_four_year_plans/?currentCollege=SI[/url]”>https://aventeur.ucsd.edu/public/student_four_year_plans/?currentCollege=SI</a>, go to economics major. </p>
<p>@sweetdreamzzz: If pharm chem is not impacted, it will be really easy to switch majors. All you need to do is go on Tritonlink, press the Major/Minor Tab and just change your major. You can do it whenever, but you may want to wait when school actually starts. It actually doesn’t really matter what major you are entering in as of now (as long as you don’t want to switch into an impacted major) because you are taking GE classes not major classes as a freshman. Just know that you want to take GE classes for Pharm chem and sign up for those classes during registration.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that all you have to do to be admitted to the honors program is to score a 700+ on every section of the SAT. Is that true? If so, what are the perks of being a UCSD honors student? I know the UCI CHP offers many special privileges; what does SD offer?</p>
<p>@ingridbergmen:
Yes it is true:
“Entering freshmen with a high school GPA of 3.8 or above and SAT scores of 700 reading/700 math/700 writing are eligible to participate in the Honors Program. Students remain in the program until thirty-six units of UC San Diego credit are completed. After that, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.7 on all units completed at UC San Diego to remain in the program.” </p>
<p>Specifically for Warren (not sure for other colleges): The Warren Honors Program offers students educational, cultural, and social experiences designed to broaden their intellectual interests. The activities vary each quarter and are planned to foster student interaction and promote a sense of community. </p>
<p>So there are events like the zoo and stuff that you attend (more info:[url=<a href=“http://warren.ucsd.edu/academics/honors/index.html]Honors[/url”>http://warren.ucsd.edu/academics/honors/index.html]Honors[/url</a>] – search up the college you are in on google) and you get to take honors classes and live in the honors floor (if you want), I believe.</p>
<p>1) how is the ucsd dance program?
2) are there any dance majors/minors who can tell me more about studying dance at ucsd?
3) can anyone tell me about the Ascension hip hop team?</p>
