<p>Does anyone know the link?</p>
<p>thank you!!</p>
<p>Don't you have to be a student or faculty member?</p>
<p>you mean the acs webmail? you don't get that until either after you submit your sir or after the sir deadline, forget which one it was last year..</p>
<p>yeah, i just checked my email account, and the very first email i got was from may 9, 2006 :). before you get one, you have to obviously go through the whole making a complex password and stuff. <a href="http://sdacs.ucsd.edu/%7Eicc/%5B/url%5D">http://sdacs.ucsd.edu/~icc/</a></p>
<p>boo :(</p>
<p>So I have to enroll in UCSD in order to get that address.. I was hoping I can use it to network with some ppl on facebook to ask about the school before I make my decision.</p>
<p>hahah lol i thought so ;D</p>
<p>Is it the same for other UC's too?</p>
<p>I have to enrolll before getting an email?</p>
<p>It makes perfect sense to me. Why the heck should they give you an email address under their domain unless you plan to enroll there? Don't tell me you actually thought that you could get email addresses under the domains of these colleges without being a student (This isn't Yahoo, why would UCSD or any college just hand them out?).</p>
<p>I realize the above may be a bit rude/offensive, but I'm just honestly surprised that you thought you could get a UCSD email address without enrolling. Of course, if UCSD knew that was your purpose then obviously it isn't as bad to get the email without being a student, but they have to look at EVERYONE (and not everyone would use the email address for a good purpose like you want to).</p>

<p>I'm not too familiar with the UC System. I got an email address from UCLA for taking a course over the summer and living on campus for 6 weeks.. and my friend signed up for an email at NYU right after he got in last week. (He didn't enroll yet)</p>
<p>It makes sense that you got a UCLA address because you were a student during the summer, but I'm surprised that your friend got one from NYU without ever enrolling.</p>
<p>Anyway, best of luck on deciding whether to go to UCSD or not. I'm in the same pickle :)</p>
<p>Yes I know.. this waiting / deciding is tearing me apart!</p>
<p>What are some of your other choices, Azure?</p>
<p>I've gotten into UCLA, so that's one. I'm waiting on Berkeley still, so if I get in there (doubt it as I'm applying to EECS) that's the other. I'm unsure of where out of the 3 to exactly go. I haven't visited any of them yet, so I'm hoping that my decision will become clearer after I do that in a couple weeks. My parents are pushing for Berkeley because it's the closest, and I think it's cool because of the prestige and liberal mindset, but I'm pushed off by how it's supposed to be ridiculously hard. I'm attracted to UCSD's 6 college system (I chose Muir), and I like how it's far away from home and how I essentially got a full ride from them, but I think I'd like the Berkeley climate a LOT better. UCLA...I wish to learn more about, and I'm neither here nor there at the moment, but I know that it's a good school up there that I should consider (of course, my parents are against it since it's so far away).</p>
