<p>hey, guys! I got my UCSD acceptance letter for pre-bio-engineering: pre-med. However, I'm starting to worry because the letter says that people in this major will be re-screened for this specific major. What are your thoughts? My stats are:</p>

<p>GPA 4.0 weighted (10-12)</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Test
Verbal: 590
Mathematics: 660
Writing: 590
Total: 1840</p>

<p>SAT Subject Tests</p>

<p>Ecological Biology
Score: 590
Mathematics Level 2 (formerly Math IIC)
Score: 620
U.S. History
Score: 640</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
ASB president, KEY Club four years, KEY Club officer for two, NHS member two years, Red Cross Club officer for one, 2 years Water polo (1 year JV captain and one other on varsity), Leadership four years, and a whole bunch more. And I worked at a pet shop to 'learn more about animal biology,' if that means anything lol.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the help!</p>

<p>what's your UC G.P.A? This can only make or break you because yoru SAT I and SAT II are on the below average side by a small margin.</p>

<p>And your leadership activities will only take you so far =/
150 or 300 points. </p>

<p>so if you can give that and also amount of community service, we can probably get a good estimate i guess.. ^__^;;</p>

3

<p>UC GPA 10-12 is 4.0, and I have uber community service hours.</p>

4

<p>well the onez does it really matter? i mean he's already gotten accepted right? </p>

<p>or does re-screened mean that he's not completely in yet? just a maybe?</p>

5

<p>It means that I am accepted, but maybe not for bioengineering/premed because i guess it's impacted.</p>

6

<p>Bioengineering: pre-med isn't impacted. Only Bioengineering and Bioengineering: biotechnology are.</p>

7

<p>sweetness to the nth degree! mucho thanks to all the helps, btw. Any ERC-ers?</p>

8

<p>then what is the re-screen process? freshman grades? ack...</p>

<p>oh, warren here :)</p>

<p>I think many majors are pre-screened. All this means is that you're admitted into pre-"your major" and then officially admitted to the major after you take some introductory courses. No one is fully accepted immedietely; it's normal and everyone starts as the pre-major.</p>

<p>Actually, I misread what was posted above. I'm not familiar with the re-screening process.</p>

10

<p>re-screen is just for whatever is specifically listed on the paper (correct me if I'm wrong.) So, does UCSD have wireless internet throughout the whole campus?</p>

11

<p>UCSD has wireless internet all over. In some places it's very weak though. I barely ever use it.</p>

12

<p>should i buy a wii? lol stupid question...</p>

13

<p>or will the signal be too weak?</p>

14

<p>you can always get a router thing haha dont know what its called. but yeah you can buy this one thing and it gives wireless internet. but haha</p>

15

<p>lol, I think a better question might be whether or not you'll have the time to play on your Wii once classes begin. :P</p>

16

<p>are the ERC walls so thin that u could punch a hole in them?</p>

17

<p>thats what i heard - and muirs are so thick that wireless cant get through.</p>

18

<p>damnit i need wireless internet at muir...</p>

<p>i'm gonna go to ERC and punch through it in a straight line and carry the internet back to Muir</p>

19

<p>if it werent for the crappy walls, erc > muir.</p>

20

<p>I am totally ERC!!</p>

<p>Lol, i heard that its like 70% female though..</p>

<p>is that true?</p>
