I’m a little concerned about the fact that I haven’t received my acceptance package yet in the mail. I live in the LA county, and I know others in the LA county have received it. I usually get my mail on time. I know the problem seems minute, but anything relating to college admissions makes me nervous. Should I be concerned?
@roonilwazlib100 I’m in the same boat, LA area. I didn’t receive any mail at all today. Hopefully ours will come before the end of next week?
My son got in as undeclared. Can he take the classes in Engineering college? He’s out of state and really likes USCD, but we don’t want to spend so much for not having him to have the major he wants. He’s wants to be an engineering major. Thanks!
Or is there any computer major not in the college of engineering? Some other schools have computer science major in college of art and science. Thanks.
@oscarmom1 This page might help answer some of your questions. https://cse.ucsd.edu/undergraduate/admissions/capped-major-status
@oscarmom1: No, CS is only in the Engineering school.
@Gumbymom thank you.
Received my mail yesterday btw!
@oscarmom1 Did you get into ur in state CS major? If decent why sweat the $$ and uncertainly. UCB L&S has CS and I know there’re ppl who’d not get CS at UCLA or UCSD but got into UCB L&S in the past.
@Just4Years thanks. But if switching to EE, is it possible?
@oscarmom1 It’s notoriously difficult to switch into most engineering majors, I’ve heard. Since UCs don’t give much in the way of aid for OOS students, if your son has gotten into another school where he could be in the major that he wants straight away, that would probably be better.
@oscarmom1 EE might be ‘more possible’ than CS but not by much bc there’s CE inside of EE I think. You need to have acceptable backup plan of no EE/CS major coming here as UD. I’d go to a less ranked college that gives you firm major if that is critical.
@mintchipmagic @Just4Years thanks again. The people in this link are so nice and helpful! Really appreciated!
@gureum i ended up getting the package this morning! any update on yours?
@roonilwazlib100 What’s in the package?!
@ByteZz a certificate of admission, an invitation to triton day w/ a wristband, on campus housing information booklet, and letter of acceptance.
My son got his package yesterday in OC. Had wrong person’s letter and certificate inside though… Luckily their address was walking distance from us so I went to their house while they opened their package and sure enough my son’s letter and certificate were inside! Lol
@roonilwazlib100 what a coincidence! me too! I just came back from the UCSD reception in my area.
Got our USCD package in mail today here in Seattle, WA!
Hi, son is admitted into Human Biology at Marshall. What would be the process to change major to Neuroscience (within the same department) ? Is it possible to do this now, or can this be done after the lower level requirements are complete? Thanks
