<p>hobo, I hope you are not implying that you are going to be commuting to college from that far away.</p>
<p>To answer your question, I'd say it would realistically take 1.5 hours at the most. Also, it depends on what time of the day you commute. If you commute during peak traffic hours (7-9, 5-7) then it would take 1.5 - 1.75 hours to get to your destination. If you go in between the peak traffic hours then I'd say 1 hour is about right.</p>
<p>Just to touch on something allena talked about earlier...</p>
<p>UCSD does not consider "choice of major or college affiliation in determining admission."</p>
<p>College choice AND major choice make no difference.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if I wanna sign up a TAG for UCSD .. do you think it's worth it? Since I probably get all of my lower division courses done by Spring 2007 .. and apply for Fall 2007 .. so .. I don't really need TAG right? Also TAG guaranteed you to be accepted into the school but not that major .. so what's the point of singing up for it?</p>
<p>Not at all? Not even for engineering disciplines, for example?</p>
<p>Kinda feels like New Years eve all over again. I don't know if I want to read it online or wait for the letter. I suppose it's more formal like waitng for the latter.</p>
<p>UCR is a nice school (good people, decent professors, semi-attractive campus) but it's a solid safety. If you can get into a Cal-State you can get into UCR. I got back a scholoar ship for that shool last week (will pay for most of my first year, yippie) and while it feels nice, I know that I will be unsatisfied since I already go to RCC (Riverside cc, a feeding tube for UCR). To be cliche, 'I need to get away.'</p>
<p>Decision dates:</p>
<p>Berkeley: May 1
Davis: March 15-April 30
Irvine: March 1-April 30
Los Angeles: April 30->>
Merced: March 1-March 31
Riverside: March 1-April 30
San Diego: March 15-April 30
Santa Barbara: March 15-April 30
Santa Cruz: March 15-April 30</p>
<p>it feels like senior year all over again, except less chilling with friends and more worrying about school since this is basically our last shot at a decent undergrad.</p>
<p>For UCSD, you are admitted without regard to major (based on campuswide criteria). For the selective majors, engineering for instance, you are then routed to the engineering department for acceptance into the major. If they decline you, then you go into a different major.</p>
<p>I'm familiar with RCC. It's fine to want to go elsewhere.</p>

<p>That's not always the case.</p>

<p>Ha agreed.</p>
<p>aren't there a lot of former UCR people at RCC? i know a couple people from freshman year that got kicked out and are attending RCC right now...</p>

<p>That would suck not being admited to the major. That would tack on additional expense for the extra 1.5 years it takes to fullfill the prereqs</p>

<p>Some. Not many. RCC is useless if you've already started upperdivision course work OR started a UC Gen Ed. All the UCR dropouts here are ususally former fresman.</p>
<p>RCC's once of the bigger CC in so cal so we get all types. Even had a graduating CAL (Berkeley) student in one of my courses. Needed to fill a spanish req before they gave her the degree.</p>
<p>COUNTDOWN:</p>
<p>Irvine: March 1-April 30 (1 day to go!)
Merced: March 1-March 31 (1 day to go!)
Riverside: March 1-April 30 (1 day to go!)</p>
<p>Davis: March 15-April 30 (15 days to go)
San Diego: March 15-April 30 (15 days to go)
Santa Barbara: March 15-April 30 (15 days to go)
Santa Cruz: March 15-April 30 (15 days to go)</p>
<p>Los Angeles: April 30->> (61 days to go)
Berkeley: May 1 (62 days to go)</p>
<p>"That's not always the case."</p>
<p>Yeah, but it fits most of the time. 2.7's and .8's get in all the time with no EC or employment.</p>
<p>Doesn't make it a "bad" school or cal-state quality, just easier to get in and prove yourself. If I didn't live in Riverside it would be a major consideration, taking into account the free first year.</p>
<p>If you say so. I haven't seen any statistics showing it.</p>
<p>"it feels like senior year all over again, except less chilling with friends and more worrying about school since this is basically our last shot at a decent undergrad."</p>
<p>I hear you hobofromdt...=]</p>
<p>Awesome.!!!!!! Let us know what you hear from ucr at midnight.</p>
<p>I feel inadequate now that Gabe made a better countdown than me. </p>
<p>This countdown has been my only real form of leadership over the last couple of months...And I even suck at this =[</p>
<p>He. How accurate is the UCLA one? I recall finding out earlier than April 31.</p>
