<p>Sounds just like me ! ishh lol. I wanna be around asians & away from the drugs, but I don’t mind some partying 
I’m totally gonna need a study buddy. I completely suck at studying and the best at procrastination lol</p>
<p>@midnight
ohh so it would be like, if i wanted to take some courses at UCB it would just be over the summer?</p>
<p>@Shiby, it really depends. College 9 and 10 are VERY similar. It’s really a luck of the draw when it comes to what kind of people you will be interacting with. I lived at College 10 last year and I completely loved my floormates. However, one of my friends was in another building at College 10 and his floormates caused a LOT of trouble last year. </p>
<p>Yeah, it’s more of a summer thing. I do remember reading that you can spend a quarter or so at another UC if you go through some visitor program, but I completely forgot the logistics.</p>
<p>Oh. Is it like dorm & everything provided too if I was interested in it?</p>
<p>I really don’t know. I think they gave me a sheet during orientation last year that listed it. I do know that it was an application process. There is a high possibility that the program might not exist anymore (due to budget restraints or policies), but I’m sure you can ask an academic advisor about it.</p>
<p>yea, I visited UCSC before and College 9 and 10 look alike XD. Is there actually a difference between them besides the theme and that 1 GE class</p>
<p>No real differences like you listed. College 9 has themed residential halls while College 10 just has building numbers. College 10’s core class is called social justice (not sure what C9’s was).</p>
<p>I haven’t even thought about the colleges! I haven’t had the chance to look into them since I’m still undecided of where I wanna. Are the colleges based like on majors & such?</p>
<p>No, the colleges aren’t really based on anything (other than a core course). There is no real answer for the description of each college. Of course they might be physically different (excluding 9/10), you’ll always find a diverse student body at each of the colleges. Some of the colleges are known to be preppy, nerdy, artsy, hippie, athletic, and etc, but you’ll always find people who do not fit that stereotype. My greatest hint is to actually visit the college for yourself. Pictures/video tours really do not help in this department.</p>
<p>Oh. Thanks for all the info then. Been a great help. Now just to convince my parents to let me go =/</p>
<p>Sorry to bump this thread but I am in the same boat as Denise. But I also have a different question. I got accepted to UCSC for the Business Management Economics major, but I will be under the “proposed major” which means I can not declare the major at this time.
I was reading their site and saw that I needed a 2.8 or above GPA combined for econ 1 and 2, but I have a 2.5GPA combined. Could that be the reason why I’m in the “proposed major”? Can I retake one of those courses in UCSC to bring my econ GPA to 2.8?
Also, are the courses listed under assist.org mandatory? Or are they just prep courses that I can take at UCSC? The reason I ask is because I haven’t taken two courses on there and I still got accepted.
What mistakes can people do to get admissions revoked? Just wondering so I don’t make that mistake. Thanks.</p>
<p>miatase92- Hello, I am also a Proposed Business Management Economics Major as well. Everyone that gets accepted is a proposed major until you declare your major at the end of your first quarter. I dont know the answers to all your questions but I do know that I had less then a 2.8 in my micro and macro class. In my personal experience, I took Macro and received a B. I then took Micro and did horrible so I retook it and also received a B. UCSC looked at both my attempts at Micro and my attempt at micro to get below a 2.8. I was emailing the Econ department because I noticed this and they told me to appeal. I had to appeal to the major last month so I know what classes I can take this fall. My appeal was deferred until I take Econ 11B and receive a C+ or higher. They will then review my transcript again and if I have met those conditions, I can declare the BME major my own. Hope this helps.
I also believe as long as this semester, you do C work or better, they wont revoke your admission (as long as everything you wrote on your initial application is also true).
I also believe that the courses listed on Assist.org are undergraduate courses and you should take as many as possible. You can still be offered admission if you dont complete all of them.
Good luck : )</p>
<p>My school only offers Marco which I’m passing with an A right now so idkkk</p>
<p>If you are entering UCSC as a FRESHMAN:
Don’t worry about proposed major. You declare your major usually during your 2nd year. When you actually declare your major, you need a combined GPA of 2.8 in Intro to Microeconomics and Intro to Macroeconomics to declare as Econ/Business Econ. Once you meet this requirement, you can officially declare your major. However, if you get less than a 2.8, you have to write a letter of appeal to the Economics department. Normally these are approved if you do well in other economics courses or sometimes math courses.</p>
<p>If you are entering as a TRANSFER:
I believe you must declare your major in your first quarter or you might enter as your major. If you don’t have a 2.8 in Econ 1 and Econ 2 at your CC, then you have to appeal. The courses listed on assist.org are MANDATORY. You do not have to complete all of those courses before you transfer, but then you must take them at UCSC in order to complete your major. If you look on the economics department, there is a checklist of classes to see if you fulfilled your major to graduate. You need to complete all the listed lower-division courses as well as upper division courses in order to complete your major.</p>
<p>I should have mentioned above that I am a transfer so everything MidnightGolfer said does apply to me : ) … Read his post depending on whether your a freshman or transfer student.</p>
<p>I find it wired that they admitted me even though I don’t have the 2.8gpa in both econs. I’m not
sure where to start with the appeal process. What if they don’t accept my appeal? Would I be stuck at ucsc wihout being able to declare the major? I don’t want to be stuck and lose my chance to ucr.</p>
<p>Also, should I be appealing now or after I accept my admission? I’m not sure how the quarter system works, but the deadline for appeal of the spring quarter is on May 13th.</p>
<p>I’ll have to fill out an appeal to for Econ as well. I got a B in macro and a C in micro. I’m not sure what to say, any advice?</p>
<p>@frosty110
You’re in the EXACT same boat as I am. I don’t really have a valid reason other than working a lot and taking max courses in the summer when I got a C in Macro. If they deny my appeal, should I even still attend UCSC? Would I ever get a chance to declare the B.M.E. major if denied?</p>
<p>Personally… They deferred mine till I take that course with a good grade. If you do it early enough, they will give you an answer and then you will know whether you still should attend UCSC. I really think they will defer you though because they will want you to prove yourself for the major I think. You both should just appeal and see what they say : ) i do know that you will no be able to declare the major unless you appeal if the combination of your macro and micro grade is below 2.8… It does suck! I hope you guys get successful appeals. I really think you will : )</p>
<p>Correction: they deferred me until I take Econ 11B while there with at least a C+</p>
