General Comments:Eh. I’ve got 4 other schools. No big deal.</p>

<p>Got accepted into their engineering department, but got waitlisted at both UCD and UCI (both also engineering.)
Is this unusual? I can’t really wrap my head around how this happened lol</p>

<p>Hey I can’t log into my application and the call to UCSD admissions was not helpful at all. I’ve tried everything and still can’t get in. Are they going to mail results or no? </p>

<p>@icjerseyveeb324 They have been mailing out admit packets. My friends have gotten theirs, I have yet to receive mine. & As an admitted student, I’ve been getting emails from them about Triton Day, a congrats from my college, etc., like at least one every 2-3 days, so check your email.</p>

<p>[/ul]General Comments: I got my fifth choice college, and that’s one of the reasons I’m not going to UCSD. Why would they put a math major in Sixth College? :frowning: Their GE requirement looks weird. Ahh I should’ve put Muir last to give other colleges a chance. Anyways I’m still glad I got accepted :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Does anyone know how the UCSD housing application works?</p>

<p>Apparently, all you do is click a “submit” button on the housing section of the portal. Dorms are pre-determined by your college, so all you can do is take the roommate survey (they should be sending you a link later on).</p>
