Hey so here my problem. Today I got off the waitlist for UCSD and received my admission offer. Thing is they accepted me as undeclared and put me into Thurgood Marshall and I really really want to do mechanical engineering at Warren college. I have also already accepted UCR and their finical aid award and I also have been accepted into engineering over their at BCOE. I’m trying to decide between UCSD and UCR because UCSD has been my dream school yet I did not receive the major I wanted. If I were to pick UCSD what chances do I have at actually getting into the college and major I want? Money is not a problem because I’m getting the same amount from both.
Hey! Congrats! I was in the same situation as you except I committed to SDSU. I got into UCSD, my dream college as well, off the waitlist as undeclared in Thurgood. From what I heard, you need to do extremely well in the math and physics class your first year and next if you do not make it in your first. I’m not sure of the exact chances but people told me it’s quite hard. I decided to stick with SDSU. Good luck! (Engineering in general is hard. UCR is still a UC.)
yeah i know. Argh its just hard to let it go especially now that I got in.
