@takeitallin That makes me feel so relieved! I thought that since I applied for Chemical Engineering, it automatically lowers my chances. Thank you!
ugh I just want it to be Saturday already. I’m gonna be so sad if they don’t even come out on Saturday.
@UCSDbound2015 Congrats on your acceptance! Unfortunately, I don’t believe already being in an impacted major has a significant impact on your ability to switch majors. In addition, I don’t know how much your high school resume will help–I’ve heard that if you really want to switch majors, your GPA in the lower-division courses for your desired major is what matters most.
@sophiewophie Congrats on your acceptance! Changing colleges is pretty unlikely unless you can prove that being in Warren will mess up your graduation date. I can see why you wanted ERC as an international studies major, but on the bright side, now you have fewer GEs to worry about.
To everyone else, seriously, don’t worry! Decisions will be out in a couple of days whether you freak out rn or not. Don’t call admissions, it’s a waste of their time and yours.
UCSB will release its decisions on the 16th, so hopefully UCSD does too. Fingers crossed.
There is still a risk though. If one gets in UCSD as undeclared major, and he/she decides to apply for an impacted major later, e.g., bioengineering. It’s possible that he/she will not get in if his/her grades are not as good as the other applicants.
@takeit i didnt know UCSD doesnt accept by major, but what would i do if i get in as undeclared major. i am applying for chemical engineering which is impacted
Are they sending calls for different majors every day?
is the housing trick still valid this year?
Does anyone have an idea as to whe decisions come out? Someone on a group said that next week but historically they’ve released this saturday…
Just got a call from UCSD saying I was accepted as a psychology major!!
@ncb678 Can I ask what were your stats please?
@Richardconter Yeah! I was actually really surprised since my test scores aren’t great.
SAT: 1940
ACT: 27
UW GPA: 3.9 W GPA 4.4
A ton of extra-curriculars and broadcast related awards. Good recs and good essays
For people who got the call, are your portals updated?
@ncb678 Nice,congrats!
Just got a call saying that I was accepted to John Muir as a biology major!
Kind of surprised since my grades weren’t that great! I’m also asian and oos. Good luck to everyone else!
Are decisions posted on the portal before or after receiving the call?
accepted through call Tuesday (???) evening to sixth college for mechanical + aerospace engineering; good luck to everyone else still waiting! ( my portal is not updated yet )
I got a call from a UCSD number but I didn’t pick up because I thought it was a marketer, whoops.
No change in my portal
Great work to everyone who got in
whoa just got call- accepted into bioE!
