Applying for UCSD…Cluster 1 Computers in Everyday Life and Cluster 4 When Disaster Strikes: Earthquake Engineering
Any chances?

@cincandyful I think you have a good chance. Just make sure your essays are really compelling and that your teacher recs are pretty good. Good luck!

@katied123 No problem and best of luck to you!

@The5458Captain‌ I am having my sister edit it since she got accepted to cosmos before and my advisor edit it.
When we mail our confirmation stuff and transcript, is it okay if they receive it past the due day but I already submit application?

@cincandyful it should be fine as long as it’s postmarked by that date.

You shouldn’t be mailing the transcript–your school should. It needs to be an official transcript.

@topaz1116‌ I mailed it last year…my school just signs it and gives it to me

@topaz1116‌ what do u mean by postmarked by the date?

Btw, anyone applying for UCSD cluster one computers in everyday life and cluster six earthquake engineering.

It’s not mentioned anywhere on the application website, but at the bottom of the application worksheet, it says only UCD requires STAR results. Is anyone applying to UCD and including his/her STAR results? I don’t want to include them and be rejected because I included something I wasn’t supposed to…

What do you use the 50 words essey for? Should I mention something they do not know about me like my SAT, sport participation, etc? Who else is applying to UCI?

@Girlsworld‌ I think it’s for telling the admission group anything that u want them to know but there was no room for it so that’s where u can mention it. Write about something that u want them to also put into consideration

Personally, I’m thinking if I should put down that I applied last yr go ucsc but was rejected.

Does COSMOS’s website seriously lag, and then show up as database error for anyone else? I’m not able to view my application.

Nor am I.

OMG I thought it was only me!!!

I think too many people are trying to access the forms and their servers can’t handle the stress. It’s probably because today is a holiday and everyone’s trying to do it last minute…

Same here, wasn’t able to log in too but today is not a holiday for me…I hope it will be up later today when I’m out of school

It’s lagging like crazy for me.

I’ve finally decided on my clusters: UCSC Cluster 1 (Number Theory and Discrete Math) as my first choice and Cluster 5 (Video Game Design). Now to write the essays…

Still lagging

It is open but not even loading…

Ugh why?!?!?

I hope this doesn’t happen again tomorrow because I’m not done yet!
