<p>^ That's how much space they had available for entering freshmen and transfers. We got in, so we must rock!</p>
<p>Wow! Haha I'm even happier now!!! Where did you find that Stat?</p>
<p>That's a 4% admit rate! hahahaha wow</p>
<p>well 4.6% but still!</p>
<p>My EFC is about $14,000 and I got a $1,991 grant. =(</p>
<p>I got in! General Biology! <em>excited</em></p>
<p>Yeah, it's annoying that they can meet your EFC through loans.</p>
<p>It has Pell grant and Academic Competition Grant on there for me (And Cal grant B). Does that mean I have them for sure for whichever school I go to?</p>
<p>Those are probably the same for each school.
I didn't even get a Cal Grant. =(
This blows.</p>
<p>there's 650 spots. they accepted way more than that because they know that not everybody will actually attend ucsd.</p>
<p>^ yeah haha that's what I realized after rereading the paragraph... :)</p>
<p>imgoing2college: you can find the blurb in Muir.pdf or something like that... click around and you'll find it.</p>
<p>humm alright I'll go look around.</p>
<p>Konkai:</p>
<p>Beach is only about a 10-15 minute walk away. It's very convenient and nice :). </p>
<p>All Honors programs are relatively difficult. They vary a bit between colleges but it may be like a 3.8 to get IN and then retain get 3.5's to stay in.</p>
<p>With connections and getting involved enough, you can do research. I am not exactly sure how it works at Scripps though.</p>
<p>There are office hours where you can get the one-on-one time with professors. Personally I just go talk to them after class and they are always willing to talk to me.</p>
<p>By the way to all. Colleges will say that they got 45k applications etc to fit 600 spots or 4700 spots. That means they wanted to fill 600 freshman so they have to accept more than that because not all who got accepted will choose UCSD. Get it?</p>
<p>How long does it take for the average student to graduate? Is there cheap housing around La Jolla?</p>
<p>Typically depends on your major and how you do with that major. I believe your major has a 4-year plan which you will soon discover when you get more information for SIR-ing which will help you graduate in four years. </p>
<p>The reasons why some people may take longer than 4 years usually has to do with the following: Rigor of their schedules was too much so they took less classes per quarter, wanted to fulfill a minor at the same time by taking more classes, decided to double major and might have to stay another year or quarter to fulfill those requirements. </p>
<p>I live on campus personally but I hear that some housing in La Jolla can be pricey. I also hear it really depends on where you choose to live off campus. If you know alot of upper classmen, they may help you find the cheaper places to live off campus if the $ is an issue. I love living on campus though.</p>
<p>I heard the dorms aren't very nice-looking (this was from a topic back in 2006). Is that still true? Which dorms have the best view of the ocean?</p>
<p>They aren't nice looking on the outside, but they have undergone inside renovations in the past couple years. The top floors of Tioga Hall have the ocean views. (I am not sure about Tenaya Hall).</p>
<p>YESSSSSSSS MUIR. My first choice! :)</p>
<p>Housing in La Jolla isn't cheap at all. You might want to check out University City area, though.</p>
<p>yayyyy Muir!</p>
<p>Muir has the most flexible GE's and is the closest college on campus to the beach! I visited the dorms a couple weeks ago at Scholar's Day and even though there are triples, it's still pretty spacious. I've heard that after a while, everyone at UCSD wishes they were in Muir :)</p>
<p>University City is really close to LJ, zip code is 92122. shuttles run from there to campus. The Clairemont / Pacific Beach is further away and a little cheaper</p>
<p>University City is still not "cheap". (Maybe get a roommate?)</p>
<p>La Jolla is like millionaire status.</p>
<p>Live in a dorm. Sucks. Sorry.</p>
