UCSD Class of 2021 Discussion/Decisions

@gureum I’m pretty sure all admits get the package! Yours might just be taking longer because of the postal service. (I always get things in the mail 1-3 days after my friends who live in the same city, for instance.)

does anyone know what kind of applicants receive the LA/Bay Area Special Invite? Is it all admits in the area?

@Marsh635 5 No problem. It was the Sri Lankan Civil War and I mentioned it in one of my essays.

@JuicyMango Oops. I thought that was weighted. My bad. Unweighted is: 4.0. And by born in civil war, in one of my essays I talked about the Sri Lankan Civil War and immigrating to America for a better life.

@BoredEngineer thanks, but this is for transfers tho. Do they have stats for freshman applicants?

@CompSci99

Oh sorry about that. I’m not sure. I thought this was the transfer thread for some odd reason.

I believe it is all admits

@howToDecide2017

I believe the decision to move to D1 has already been voted on and passed. There is an article on ucsdtritons.com released 5/24/16. Student fees should go up in 2017-2018 school year to support this. Also, I looked at the NCAA site for a few sports and they list UCSD sports as D1.

I got rejected.

3.83 UC GPA; 1090 New SAT; 23 ACT.

It’s fine tho, UCSD is too foreign and the weather is too hot for me.
