<p>hi. sorry for the last minute question. my plane is arriving on the day of orientation at 8:30am, and the orientation check-ins are at 8:00-8:45. i already reserved a shuttle to ucsd, but does anyone know how long it will take for me to get off the plane and get to ucsd and how my tardiness will affect my orientation?
thank you</p>
<p>Won't be missing much. Maybe a few icebreakers, but that's about it.</p>
<p>Dunno why they make orientation mandatory, though, considering that you can learn everything about the academic requirements online in like 15 minutes or so.</p>
