<p>Hey there everyone! Can any current students tell me about John Muir College? I was accepted for Mechanical Engineering to the class of 2016 and am OOS. I hear that is difficult to get into this college and it has the easiest GE requirements.</p>
<p>Why is an issue to be in different colleges? Aren't all students part of the same university? What difference does it make if I was chosen to one over another?</p>
<p>So different colleges mostly differ on GE requirements and location. If you live on campus, you’re gold b/c Muir is like the middle of everything, so you can get anywhere in about 10 minutes.
You’ll definitely meet people from all colleges in your classes. The only Muir specific classes would be the two writing classes you take. You’ll probably meet mostly Biology majors in these writing classes. Generally, Muir has mostly Bio majors and Warren has mostly engineering majors. Other colleges have a good mix of all majors.
And congratulations!</p>
<p>I got into Muir as well! I had thoughts on it also, but looks like they’ve been answered! Thanks!</p>
<p>Thanks for your insight, zeebzibah :D</p>
<p>Haha Biology majors ;o</p>
<p>UCSD sounds like fun :D</p>
<p>I got into Muir as an Engineering Major, do you think i’d have a tough time getting to know ppl because of the excess bio majors in that college?</p>
<p>Also an Engineering major in Muir! I’ve heard that there are few math/science classes offered at Muir. Is this true?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry about not being able to meet people. You’ll make friends with people outside of Muir definitely, meeting them through classes, clubs, and whatever. </p>
<p>You can make friends with people outside your major too. You’ll take common classes with Bio majors (maybe), Chem majors, other engineering majors, math majors, and just about everyone else. And when you take GE’s you’ll definitely meet a bunch of different people. So don’t get stuck with the mindset that all your friends are going to be engineers.</p>
<p>And I wasn’t saying that it wasn’t all Bio majors, just that the majority of them are. But there is also a good number of engineering majors compared with other colleges. From what I’ve experienced, Muir has a huge number of science majors, and almost no humanities majors.</p>

To my knowledge, Muir doesn’t offer courses except for MCWP (Muir Writing). Most colleges only offer writing courses as specifically for their college. I don’t know if you’re talking about science courses counting for GE credit or what. But Muir GE’s are pretty lax, so I wouldn’t worry about them impeding with your college experience.</p>
<p>I’m also an engineer at Muir 
I’m hoping that there’ll be enough engineers that I can get help on work but not so much that all my friends are engineers. And it’s looking pretty good.</p>
<p>Accepted as Joint Math and Econ at Muir. Not a good decision? I put Muir as my first choice because I heard it was hardest to get into.</p>
<p>Is it really mostly bio majors? Haha I definitely didn’t know that when I put it as my #1, that’s funny!</p>
<p>Are you all planning on going to UCSD? (: So exciting <3</p>
<p>Bioengineering at Muir here 
I got into Cal as well, so it’s going to be a touch decision… (also have to wait for ~10 other colleges)</p>
<p>If my private schools all reject me, I’ll definitely lean towards SD over Cal and LA :D</p>
<p>Yeah, I mean the 3-D glasses were so great!</p>
<p>Even for an engineering major?</p>
<p>What 3D glasses?
I didn’t receive my admit packet yet :p</p>
<p>On second thought, don’t spoil it for me. I am imagining there are some cool things to be done with the 3D glasses in the admission packet :)</p>
<p>I’m also muir well its the best college cuz its hardest to get in and has easiest GEs. And you find smartest ppl i know like 20 regent scholars from muir haha</p>
<p>Hahahaha I got my 3-D glasses put them on, and nothing popped out in 3D:(</p>
<p>I also got into Muir as a math major. Didn’t know the majority of people were bio majors, but oh well. I can make friends xD</p>
