<p>Can anyone give some insight as to how hard it is to get into certain colleges? Like, since I ranked Warren first, Muir second, and Marshall third, and I think that if I get into UCSD I probably would have barely slipped in, will I likely be put into Marshall? (I ask this because I have decided I really do not want to be in Warren… do a lot of people put Warren first?)</p>
<p>@JeSuis</p>
<p>I chose Warren as my first choice and got in, so I can’t really comment on being rejected from the first choice. As far as I know, students tend to get their first choice in college. Unfortunately, you may be stuck with Warren ;)</p>
<p>It’s not bad though. The college you are at doesn’t determine too much: just your living situation and GE requirements.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m just worried because I don’t know what I want to major in, and I won’t be able to really do my PofC’s until I know if my major is science, humanities, or social science (I think those are the three categories.) But if I get into UCSD I’ll be happy in any of the six colleges. Only thing left to do is wait until March!</p>
<p>Nah I wouldn’t worry about it. You can likely take some classes like lower division math classes which will count for either your major if you choose any science or your science PofC if you don’t. Also, it’s not the worst thing in the world if you take classes that you don’t really need. In fact, I ended up changing my major (to Cognitive Science) because I took a class I didn’t need for my major but was interested in (COGS 1). My advice, overall, is to not limit yourself to what you think you want your major to be. Try different areas and you’ll likely find something you like that you didn’t even know existed.</p>
<p>Hi Everybody! </p>
<p>Since admissions decisions are coming out TONIGHT and many admitted students have gotten early phone calls, I just wanted to start this thread up again! </p>
<p>Please feel free to post any questions you may have about UCSD and I (along with any other users who can answer questions) will try my best to give a helpful response! </p>
<p>Congratulations to the UCSD Class of 2015!! (and for those who may not be getting good news, it’s NOT the end of the world, there are plenty of other higher education options out there for you! 
) </p>
<p>PLEASE PLEASE, before you ask any questions, be mindful to look at the entire thread because your question(s) may have already been answered! </p>
<p>START POSTING! :D</p>
<p>"PLEASE PLEASE, before you ask any questions, be mindful to look at the entire thread because your question(s) may have already been answered! "</p>
<p>Lol no one’s going to look at the whole thread! 81 pages! Plus, I think some fresh takes on old questions would be useful :)</p>
<p>I would also like to mention a website I started, [Main</a> Page - UCSD Wiki](<a href=“http://www.ucsdwiki.com%5DMain”>http://www.ucsdwiki.com)
There’s not a lot of content yet, but any contributions would be great!!</p>
<p>^There is always the search function. And I’m also open to answering any questions as well. It’s pretty much the only reason I’m on the site. Ha ha.</p>
<p>So if I changed my mind and wanted , let’s say, Warren, but I got Revelle (first choice), there’s no chance for me to change it until Freshman spring?</p>
<p>From what I understand, it’s a rather difficult process to change your college. In the end, your college doesn’t REALLY matter that much. You will live in a different place and take a few different classes during your first couple of years. But in the end, it doesn’t matter too much.</p>
<p>@LackingKnowledge</p>
<p>If I’m not mistaken, you would first have to finish your writing sequence (which you won’t have done until the end of your 2nd year, display that if you don’t switch colleges you won’t be able to graduate in four years, and then the switch has to be 1 to 1 with somebody else in that college. So pretty much, it’s VERY unlikely to happen.</p>
<p>…That’s just cruel 
by then I can just rent an apartment with my friend…Damn. </p>
<p>I hope Revelle hates me and kicks me out… :D</p>
<p>LackingKnowledge, I think you have mistaken living in Revelle and graduate from Ravelle, if you get accepted to Ravelle, you have to follow their curriculum, regardless of where you live, you can live in the moon and you still have to take what Ravelle said you need to take to graduate …</p>
<p>Don’t I have to dorm there?</p>
<p>Yes, if you are living on campus. Is there a reason you don’t want to be in Revelle? Maybe we can settle some worries.</p>
<p>You have guaranteed housing there for two years. The freshman dorms are pretty terrible but they are renovating the second year apartments right now so by the time you get there they will be really nice. Also, you can petition to switch out Eleanor Roosevelt and Revelle after you complete the two quarter “intensive” writing portion of the sequence (because both sequences are 5 quarters long). The petitioning process isn’t as difficult as people make it seem. You just have to write a 4 year plan demonstrating that you could graduate 2 quarters early in a different college.</p>
<p>So I read UCSD is closing a minimum of four libraries next year… How will this affect things? Will Geisel become unbearably crowded? When I was there (mind you, it was finals week) almost every desk seemed to be taken. Also, if it’s four minimum, is Geisel in jeopardy? How good are the libraries that are being closed (clics is the only one that seemed like a viable study location. I could be wrong though.) Thanks!</p>
<p>^Honestly, we’ll see. There are more places to study than just the libraries, so I don’t think things will completely fall apart.</p>
<p>Would it beneficial to try for a single room to have my own work area?</p>
<p>^It might not be the worst idea ever. The singles are pretty nice I won’t lie. I lived in a triple and was perfectly fine with it, but I can see why people would want a single. As far as work area, you get the same sized desk either way, but I guess you can then work more on the floor if you wanted to.</p>
<p>Well I would probably find it hard to do work with two other people in the room. It really just depends if I’ll be able to find places around campus to study. I mean, when I was visiting, literally every conference room, desk, and computer was taken. I’m assuming it will just get worse next year.</p>
