<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Last year, when my friend applied to COSMOS @ UCSD as a sophomore, they sent him this snippet when he asked them (in general) why he was rejected:</p>

<p>“Most of the accepted students have taken several AP classes in math and science, which makes them more competitive as well as giving them a higher weighted math and science.”</p>

<p>Just putting that out there. He has re-applied this year (as well as myself) as Juniors, as COSMOS tends to accept junior/senior applications in a higher quantity than with frosh/soph applicants.</p>

<p>@BioBoy97‌ That’s why I don’t expect to get in. Freshman at my school can only take one AP, Human Geography, at my school. But I still have hope. I’m defintely gonna reapply if I don’t get in. </p>

<p>Oh
My school doesnt let freshmen take any APs, only juniors+ can take AP sciences, and we dont have any honors classes
 </p>

<p>Yes my school doesn’t have any honors either and very restrictive AP sciences. For instance I wanted to do AP biology next year but they made me do pre-ap bio. By the way I’m typing this at 11:54 pm if anyone is curious.</p>

<p>its almost time guys !
does anyone know what the acceptance rates and stats are?
idk why but i suddenly have a regret that i should’ve applied to the ucsd one instead</p>

<p>Are they announcing it on April 18th? or will they announce it until then, meaning they might announce it anytime soon? I’m getting really nervous
</p>

<p>@bboyinmartin‌ April 18th</p>

<p>@minhmvi Well I guess you might find this interesting

<p>btw my application says “under review”, is this good or bad?
I am applying to UCD. Anyone applying there also? I am so nervous!
Good luck to you all! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Oh my, mine says “under review” too. D:</p>

<p>@ginnymeow I applied for UCD mathematics!</p>

<p>Anyone applied to UCSD COSMOS? And mine says under review too. That means they are looking at our applications I presume. I don’t think it’s bad.</p>

<p>@bboyinmartin I applied for UCD Mathematics too! I also applied for Introduction to Engineering Mechanics :P</p>

<p>I just applied to UCSD because it was closest to home. UCI is equally far but I couldn’t apply because of the different dates. Did you guys apply to UCD because it was close to home too? @ginnymeow‌ @bboyinmartin‌ </p>

<p>@ginnymeow we applied for same clusters
haha</p>

<p>@ginnymeow‌ do you mind tell me your stats?</p>

<p>mine’s </p>

<p>@dsi411 none of those campus are close to my home D: I choose UCD mainly because my best friend is applying to that campus, and she applied to UCD Mathematics as well. Also it have the clusters I want. Also I heard it is the most competitive one so to me pressure means motivation! :smiley: </p>

<p>@bboyinmartin I don’t really know what to say because my stats are pretty horrible
