Created a separate thread to vent about UCSD decisions here - Vent about UC decisions
It means your dorm will be in that Roosevelt college’s dorm if you choose to live on campus and your GE requirements is defined by Roosevelt. I believe someone posted the GE requirements of all the colleges a couple days ago.
You should also see your major in the portal.

Don’t know acceptance rate, but if the ranking matters to anyone - UCSD bio med/bio engineering at Jacob ranking in 2022 (USnews) ties #4 in the country with Berkeley and Stanford. #1 is John Hopkins and #2 is MIT, GA Tech. Then 3 ties between UCB, Stanford, & UCSD. https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/biomedical-rankings

Thank you so much. This is very helpful. It will make it easier for me to convince my son.

It looks like biochemistry is an uncapped major, so she should be able to switch to it with no problems. Here is a list of majors at UCSD (capped majors are marked with *) Undergraduate Majors at UC San Diego

UCD, UIUC, Virginia Tech - all for materials engineering, his first choice
Cal Poly Pomona, SJSU - for comp sci

https://fas.ucsd.edu/types/scholarships/regents-scholarships-for-entering-freshmen.html
Entering freshmen and transfers without demonstrated financial need receive an annual honorarium of $5,000. Entering freshmen will receive the honorarium for 4 academic years.
Regents scholars who are CA residents, and have demonstrated financial need will receive additional scholarship and/or grant funds to meet the financial need for 4 undergraduate academic years for freshmen.
Beyond the financial award, the biggest perk is priority registration.

Hi! My son is a recent 4 yr rotc scholarship winner. He got into UCSD and Steven’s for Aerospace/Mechanical engineering. Since we want to make the best use of the scholarship, we were seriously looking at Stevens until yesterdays result. Is Steven’s not a good school for engineering.
Waitlisted for math/music
4.0UW, 11APs, 3 CE, school doesn’t rank but in top 9%, in-state
AIME + strong music ECs/awards
Pretty disappointed, does anyone have any insight?
