<p>According to the UCSD Catalogue, Division of Biology Website, and an admissions counselor, all majors within the Division of Biological Sciences is considered impacted for the year 2010-2011. They also mention that they will use supplemental methods of examination for freshmen selection. </p>
<p>What does this mean? I have not taken the Bio Subject Test. But, I am in AP Bio now and took AP Chem last year. Am I at a disadvantage? </p>
<p>What other methods does UCSD use to fill in the chairs for the Bio Division? </p>
<p>Fwi, Im applying as a Physiology and Neuroscience Major (Revelle) </p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>They’ll most likely screen further (e.g. look at how many people applied, how much space they’re offering, and letting in people based on where they stand either “point-wise”, GPA-wise, experience in science-wise lol or a combination of all of them) than what it takes for a student to gain admission to the univeristy holistically. For impacted majors I’ve noticed that those who got in had initially higher GPA’s compared to people from the same high school or region (remembering that admissions vary between certain areas, school districts, and even high schools). I can’t recall any other notable differences.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. I doubt that you’re disadvantaged for just a subject test; I see many positives for being ahead in your LD requirements with your two AP tests (so long as you do well). </p>
<p>Best of luck</p>
<p>sorry henry if i am changing the topic, but i have a question 
how does UCSD choose students for the colleges. i mean if they are admitted and have muir and warren as top two, but are pursuing chem. what are the chances that muir would be first?</p>
<p>i know muir is the most selected college out of all but do they put you to the campus that best does your major. like engineering = warren, etc…</p>
<p>They say they put you where they think you’re the best fit. So probably whichever college GEs fit you best and where you ranked them. I would believe they try to keep most people inside one of their top 2-3 choices as well.</p>
