<p>Ehh. I’m so confused. Which one is “better”? Is the full program worth it? I really don’t want to stay there for 2 nights if all they give me is bs.</p>
<p>One day program is cut to the chase, you just get what you need to get done (placement tests, schedules). Two nights, you get to learn about the college's requirements, do some fun activities, etc...</p>

<p>Its really not worth it to stay overnight if you dont have to.</p>
<p>What's the price difference between the two programs?</p>
<p>i think it was about $100-200</p>
<p>UC davis offers a 1 day program??</p>
<p>where when howo_o</p>
<p>i couldn't find anything on that in the website</p>
<p>we are talking about freshmen undergrad orientation right?</p>
<p>What exactly do we need to bring on Orientation Day?</p>

<p>Voila! :)</p>
<p>^Thanks so much!</p>
<p>So if I choose the Program Only option, will I have to come back to Davis the next day, or will I get everything done in one day? Also, if it's possible to get it all done within one day, will it be more like a 8 A.M.- 8 P.M. kind of thing?</p>
<p>You're supposed to come back to davis but all you do is register for classes the day after the placement tests. If you can do that on your own at your home then do so. In fact I would recommend doing it at home.</p>
<p>^So are you sure that you can register at home, and nothing bad will happen if you don't show up the next day? Haha...I sound so lame, I know...:)</p>
<p>you can register at home. i did it last year. Then you don't have to wait for everyone else in your group to sign up before you.</p>
<p>wait what! i thought program only was like.. you just don't get food and shelter but it's still three days long. and what do you mean by registering at home? i thought you get to talk with a counselor for registering classes?</p>
<p>you have the option of registering for your classes at home. what happens is they take you to the computer lab with the people in your group to register after you pick your classes and what not, and you'll have to wait in line and stuff. so registering at home is not a bad idea.</p>
<p>well you can bring a laptop and register like that right?</p>
<p>So you don't have to register at Orientation, correct?</p>
<p>If you do happen to be put on a waitlist, how likely is it that you will actually get the class?</p>
<p>they actually recommend taking a laptop if you have one available.</p>
<p>I suppose you don't, but why wouldn't you want to? You can always change it later.</p>
<p>I don't know if registration in orientation allows for waitlists, that's usually during pass 2 of registration, which is Aug 27–Sep 7 for fall, and freshmen should be near the end of that period. but to answer your question, it really depends. for bigger classes, you usually have a good chance of getting in. for the really popular classes (fst10, nut10), they have insane waitlists like 100+ but sometimes the professors will allow the waitlist people in anyway. for another class, I was 6 on the waitlist and I didn't get in. this past quarter I was waitlisted for 2 classes and I got into both. You just have to hope and keep on the look out for other options.</p>
<p>^Could someone please explain the 'passes' during orientation? I am confused...</p>
<p>This doesn't actually apply to orientation exactly, didn't mean to confuse you. During the regular school year, there's pass 1 and pass 2 registration for the following quarter, pass 1 is around the middle of the quarter and pass 2 near the end. For continuing students, we've already registered for next fall during our pass 1. For incoming freshmen, their pass 1 would be orientation (I'm assuming). After orientation ends for all new students, pass 2 will begin. You should be assigned a date and time to register for pass 2 registration (check my.ucdavis). During pass 2 the unit limit is raised and you can wait list for classes.</p>
