@groverrohan‌ Thanks for the info :slight_smile: So the first time I apply to switch will be after the 6th quarter when I have all of those required courses? Or can I apply after the third?

And also thank you, me and @imthereal‌ have the sickest profile pics :smiley:

@greatlake I got accepted for econs at marshall college too :slight_smile:

Accepted!
Got a call yesterday but was unavailable to pick up but found out on my portal today!
Major: Computer Science
College: Muir

ACT: 31
UW GPA~ 3.96 UC GPA~ 4.3 W GPA~4.75
Lots of APs & honors classes
Lots of ECs including leadership

Accepted! But I would have to take out so many student loans so it looks like a no…

I was admitted into Sixth College when it was my fourth ranked choice. Am I stuck with this or is there any possible way I can change into a different college? A bit worried that it won’t really be my fit…

@Shananigans‌ I’ll check with some of my friends who are undeclared about the timeline, but I think they’re planning to apply after the third quarter (that’s how it is for BioE). Lemme get back to you on that.

@taylor5432‌ It’s pretty hard to switch colleges unless you can show that Sixth is screwing your graduation date. What are some of your concerns? For the most part, each college is awesome

did anyone receive an e-mail regarding decisions?

For the most part I’m just concerned about the GE load and requirements. Not worried about the social atmosphere or dorms, etc. Would have preferred Warren or Muir (my top two choices), but just blessed to have gotten in!

@taylor5432‌ for the most part, Sixth’s GEs aren’t too much more difficult than Warren’s or Muir’s. Especially compared to ERC and Revelle, it’s really manageable. Congrats on your acceptance and welcome to the Triton family!
