<p>If you’re wait listed, you should submit your SIR to another school. If you’re rejected from the wait list, you just go to your back up. If you’re accepted from the wait list, you can go to UCSD and lose your $100 SIR deposit, or go to your backup. Of course, you can always not SIR anywhere and go to a JC if you’re not accepted.</p>
<p>Also, let me just say that I highly doubt the point cutoff will go above 8000. I was just mentioning that it is indeed a possibility.</p>
<p>Guys, it isn’t all about the “points” now. UCSD is now adopting a partial holistic process. </p>
<p>Copied and pasted from Ms. Sun’s LiveJournal:</p>
<p>“What UCSD is doing with the move toward holistic review - according to the UCLA admissions director, Vu Tran (he represented the UCs at the workshop), UCSD is doing a “partial” holistic review for Fall 2011. Supposedly each student is assessed using both methods (point system and holistic review) and the holistic method will supplement the decision making process.”</p>

<p>Hope that makes you guys not as uptight about the points anymore. :)</p>
<p>Still have to have the points/stats to even get to the holistic stage…that will never change with so many students applying to UC’s</p>
<p>Im so nervous whether I’ll get in or not. I got 4.1 UC GPA and a 29 on the SAT with all 700+ on my SAT 2’s in Chem, Bio, MathII, and US History. Also been in Boy scouts since first grade with almost Eagle Scout. I’m really really nervous, I don’t think my scores are good enough.</p>
<p>Your stats are about the same as mine. If you have some leadership and volunteer hours you have about the same chance as me. Good luck!</p>
<p>If i got asked to complete the UCSD supplemental/questionnaire, does that indicate I at least met the 8000+ requirement?</p>
<p>I think it means you were shy of the cutoff, and they needed more information to either see if you deserved more points or to get a better picture for the holistic review.</p>
<p>Also, no one knows what the cutoff is for this year.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the exact day decisions come out? Is it March 15?</p>
<p>There is no exact date, but last year it came out the 15th. Day after UCLA’s admissions.</p>
<p>I know people have been contacted about UCLA and CAL regents scholarship. Has anyone heard from UCSD about regents scholarship?</p>

if you want to you can give yourself points [be conservative]

<p>that should give you a general idea of where you stand point-wise</p>
<p>Political Science major hopefully 8-)</p>
<p>Only 12 people are chosen to be Med Scholars, so don’t be too disappointed if you aren’t one of them. I personally know a few and they are incredibly intelligent, passionate and social individuals who participate in many extracurricular activities. Also, many of them gained admission to several Ivy Leagues, but turned them down for the opportunity to participate in the program.</p>
<p>I also know a considerable amount of Regent’s scholars and they’re pretty intelligent as well. They also get lots of perks like free tuition, guaranteed housing for 4 years, early sign-up times, the chance to participate in special programs, and the opportunity to do research as freshmen. Obviously you have to choose what’s best for you, but it sounds like a good deal to me.</p>
<p>So I visited campus last week for the first time and I must say I was underwhelmed. I guess it just wasn’t really a fit for me. I was much more pleased with Chapman University’s campus. Now that I’ve visited the school and I’ve seen that it’s probably not for me I’m not so worried about whether or not I get in, haha.</p>
<p>applying as a Mathematics major (transfer student). Only about 2 more months till the torture is over!</p>
<p>annathatshibby, can you share more about why you were “underwhelmed” by the UCSD campus?</p>
<p>I loved the UCSD campus when I visited. :)</p>
<p>Decisions come out this month…!</p>
<p>The supplemental questionnaire is something they send out randomly - my friend got it last year.</p>
<p>If you guys have anything you want to know about UCSD, I can try to help. I’m a first year, and also have Regents if you wanted to know a little more about that.</p>
<p>Fringe</p>
<p>What were your stats? how much was your regents? and what is your major?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
