UCSD Class of 2021 Discussion/Decisions

@socalmom007 It does seem too early, but you never know I guess. I really hope this isn’t a negative sign or anything; UCSD is my first choice!!

R u ppl freshman applicants or transfer applicants

transfer

@USUG21 I’m a prospective freshman, which is who this thread is intended for!

I hv not got any email for portal. Thts why i asked…

I the first mail they said we ll get mail in mid jan

@USUG21 you don’t need an email to set up the portal; you can do it yourself

@poliscihopeful7 do you think having/not having the email means anything?

@scifan If you’re asking if being “invited” via email to the MyApplication has something to do with the Housing Trick, then no. I set up my account myself, and today the housing trick started working for me (auto-generated UCSD email). I wouldn’t be surprised if it meant nothing, though.

How to set up the portal without email.

@USUG21 https://a4.ucsd.edu/tritON/Authn/UserPassword
click on “first time user”

I got redirected to the first web page after logging in, and had to provide my phone numbers.

After that, I followed the housing trick and found the ucsd email id. Check out the pictures:

@wowappgood I have the email too. I’m not sure if everyone has it, or if this is really it.

Further, I thought the housing trick last year had to do with a message on the housing site? When did it change to this email trick?

@poliscihopeful7 Some people don’t have it, reportedly. It might not mean anything significant though, as it is too early.

And the housing trick was functional last year too?

@wowappgood Yes. I was under the impression that there was a “good” housing message and a “bad” one. If it said something along the lines of “your status does not allow you to continue,” then you were rejected. I believe these messages launched around early March, so maybe it will come up again.

Does UCSD send likely letters? My son received a letter today inviting him to an “all access” tour in February. Can’t see why they would do that if they were not going to admit him.

@ZHB1999 is he in state or out?

In state.

@ZHB1999 My D got the same letter today and signed up. Looked at a discussion thread from last year and their seems to be a correlation between the invite and admission ;;). We are instate too.

@ZHB1999 can’t say. I’m out of state.

Is this letter something only freshman get? Or transfers too?
