<p>I just got accepted into sixth college. It was my second choice behind Muir. I didn't pay too much attention to my rankings when I applied. I just wanted a college that was best for my biology major. I'm still confused about the division of colleges.</p>
<p>The only thing that matters with your college is your GE’s required for each college. Unfortunately, Muir is TYPICALLY assumed to have the easiest GE’s. Sixth’s aren’t known to be hard either, so it won’t be too bad if you choose to come here.</p>
<p>It also determines where you live your first year. (assuming you live on campus)</p>
<p>Congrats on getting accepted!</p>
<p>Same…I applied to UCSD because I have family in SD and wanted to apply to UCLA and it was just another box to check so I bit the bullet just to see if I could get in and would worry about OOS tuition later. But now that I’ve been accepted to Sixth as an Econ major (not particularly what I want) I don’t see myself attending at all. I randomly ranked the colleges because I had no clue what the differences were. Reading about them confused me more.</p>
<p>i got accepted to revelle</p>
<p>I picked sixth college as my first choice because I liked its wikipedia description a bit more than the others. Also it’s new and shiny! I won’t be attending UCSD though so it doesn’t really matter.</p>
<p>I got accepted into sixth on my second choice major, sociology. Does that mean anything or what? I’m not sure what sixth college is about.</p>
<p>What’s considered the “best” of the six colleges? I got into my first choice, Revelle, but I ranked these colleges randomly.</p>
<p>how do you check which major you got in? the page just says i got in warren college</p>
<p>The major you got into will be in the packet that comes in the mail. My son’s came today, mailed from San Diego yesterday. Accepted into Sixth, but as undeclared, and he applied for Aeronautical Engineering, so he likely will not go to UCSD because he is already accepted into Aero Engineering at SLO and UC Davis…</p>
<p>Sixth has crappy dorms, nice apartments (in my opinion), but I like the location since it’s pretty isolated from the rest of campus (like Warren!). The GEs aren’t too bad either. Overall, it’s really not a bad choice for you (not like any of the colleges are bad choices, but some are definitely better than the others!).</p>
<p>Revelle has like the worst dining hall on campus, but you’re not too far from the other ones, so it isn’t too bad. The dorms are good if you get the new renovated ones. GEs are rough unless you’re like a pre-med. Revelle apartments are really nice…lucky people.</p>
<p>I applied with my second choice as Warren, and I got into Warren. I love it here though! I feel like the community at Warren is just more <em>me</em>, and I like how our living areas are separate from the main campus; nothing is more than a 15 minute walk or bus ride away. I’m sure you will all get to love the college you’ve been accepted to :)</p>
<p>I got into Warren for an econ major, but I really want to switch into Marshall now!
Do you guys know how to transfer?</p>
<p>I got into Muir as a Bioengineer major. I heard that Muir has the easiest GEs but for engineers Warren would be the easiest. Is this true? What would be the pro and cons of each college if I attended? How would I go about switching colleges?</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>

It’s extremely hard to change colleges. Just curious, why did you want to change? The GE requirements between Warren and Marshall are similar in difficultly generally.</p>
<p>@Synclair
Muir is fine. Although Warren might be slightly easier, Muir won’t be difficult at all. Engineer or not.</p>
<p>I’m a Warren econ major as well (currently a freshman at UCSD).</p>
<p>The process to transfer to a different college is pretty difficult.
“To qualify, you must complete your originally assigned college’s writing program, demonstrate that switching to a different college will substantially shorten your time to degree, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 with a specified number of completed units.”</p>
<p>The writing program itself will take you at least a year and a half (4 or 5 quarters). Why do you want to change colleges? :(</p>
<p>I’ve been reading that Marshall is better for poli-sci and econ majors. Is it the same in Warren?</p>
<p>The GE requirements are lenient at Warren, so I don’t see why Marshall would be substantially better than Warren to warrant a college transfer. Economics in itself has much less required courses than other majors, especially engineering. Take a look at this four year plan (not including GEs): <a href=“http://economics.ucsd.edu/ugrad/ugradPDFs/econmajor_4yrplan_postF07.pdf[/url]”>http://economics.ucsd.edu/ugrad/ugradPDFs/econmajor_4yrplan_postF07.pdf</a></p>
<p>I am on track to graduate in less than four years if I take 4/5 classes for the next few years, and I’m on a freshman standing right now. The only real problem at Warren is the lack of other economics majors, but this just means you get to meet friends outside of Warren in your economics classes! :)</p>
<p>No college is really better for certain majors. (Except for Warren maybe for engineers since they have easier requirements) When you graduate, most people won’t even know what the college systems are, they will just know you’re from UCSD.</p>
<p>The only thing that matters is the GE requirements you need to take, and those may vary from person to person (depending on what AP classes they passed). I don’t think anyone bothers changing colleges. Unfortunately, it’s too late to worry about the college you applied to since its basically set.</p>
<p>@Adamantoise
I’m a Joint Econ/Math major at Warren! 
Also, Warren is great for certain double majors/minors since their PofC’s allow you to focus on a specific subject. Just something to keep in mind.</p>
<p>@Spark25
No, Marshall is not better. No college is better for that major unless you specifically compare your own AP stats with the college GE requirements.</p>
<p>oh! i feel much better! thanks guys!</p>
<p>AndrewL and Adamantoise are right. Really what your college determines is the GEs you can choose from (and where you live but all the residential areas are similar enough). That’s about it. Here’s a link to see all the colleges and the general GEs you will be choosing from.</p>
