Idk if there already is one of these but if there is I couldn’t find it.

@reducto‌ did you apply to Berkeley? and my fried got in yesterday with a 1780 SAT so don’t get too discouraged!

@mlegoldstein‌ Nope not Berk! All UC’s besides Berkeley and Merced. How did your friend get into UCSD yesterday? That’s awesome! Praying for UCSD, SB, UCI, or davis though.

Hi everyone, and congratulations on your acceptances! To those of you still waiting eagerly, good luck!

I’m a first-year Revelle student at UCSD, majoring in Bioengineering: Biotechnology. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Welcome to the Triton community; I hope to see you all here next year!

@groverr How difficult is it to change majors within the engineering department? I applied under Biotech but now I think I would prefer to earn a degree in mechanical. Do you know if this would be possible?

does anyone know when decisions come out?

For UCSD, I believe all responses are supposed to be out by March 16th

I do have a quick question though. I sent my ACT scores two weeks ago ( I forgot to send them earlier) and UCSD hasn’t received them yet. Do you guys think that will affect my application?

@Yeezy97‌ how do you know that? (love your username btw)
