UCSD Class of 2020 Discussion

Rip

Received a call at around 6:13 P.M today (March 7)! I had a pretty bad SAT score (CR: 560, Math: 590, Writing: 530), and was accepted as a Computer Engineering major!!! First gen student

Congrats to all!!! My S 1, Is a first year at UCSD and loves it!

@gonewiththeair Wow, time will go by slowly for you this week. I hope things turn out the way its supposed to be for you. What is your other top choice?

@kuidaore Wait a minute, I got a call from an unknown caller ID a few days ago, I think last Friday! Ugh I didn’t answer it because I didn’t have my phone on me. Now I can only wonder whether it really was ucsd or nah.

To be fair, could have been telemarketers, been getting a lot of those recently

@kuidaore Do you think the event is for all admitted students? My friend just got the call and the caller (a student) said it was for 3 days and 2 nights sometime in April or so.

@elefish92 my other top choice is George Washington University but I won’t hear back from them for another week or two. What other schools are you waiting to hear back from?

But yes I know what you guys mean about being anxious when calls come up. I’m definitely not expecting a call but I work in the area and so whenever I get a call from the office I get really excited but it is never UCSD. lol.

I was looking at other threads, and there’s a possibility that the call may be random. They’re (alumni and faculty I think) are just calling as many people as possible because that increases matriculation rates. But I just read all of it through threads and not a legit source

Was the postcard in the black envelope just sent to those who live in SoCal?

idk I didn’t get a postcard and I am scared @Palace I am curious if not getting it is indicative of a rejection :((((

^^ Same. I haven’t got anything from UCSD (No calls so far, or invitation) but I did get the VIP tour email a month ago… Come on UCSD give me a sign.

LOL I never even received the VIP tour email :open_mouth: Where do you live? I’m in LA so like 3 hours away from SD. @IBGuy101

Did your portal change? The wording seems different.

@jackisawesome I’m in the Riverside County. Its like 55 miles east of LA and 100 miles northeast of SD. I srsly don’t even think I am a competitive candidate for UCSD, idk how I got the email.

Anyone in the Bay Area just get an email for a Bay Area reception? Wondering if it’s a sign of regents or acceptance.

Got the phone call today that I got into Computer Science! Got denied by SLO last week so I was pretty nervous…
Weighted GPA: 4.46
ACT: 32 (35 Math, 32 English)
Hispanic

Weight off my shoulders :slight_smile:

@ksharm01 I got one. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m on their email list or something else maybe?

Hello! So I received a 858 call around 6:58 and sadly missed it. I googled the number and discovered it was an admissions member! I tried calling back around 9 and it went to voicemail. I’m just clarifying because I am kind of freaking out, but did they probably call to congratulate me? Like, would they call this early just to tell me I was rejected? Also, should I call back in the morning to confirm? (My stats are pretty poor, but I did submit a supplemental questionnaire.)

Just got the acceptance call today! :smiley: So happy I picked up :’)
