@orionary from the chart i’m looking at it looks like as the number of applicants increases, the number of admits do as well (keeping the acceptance rate at a consistent ~33-35% every year since 2011) but at the rate that apps are increasing by the year the acceptance rate is sure to go down in the future (in my opinion at least)
Is UCSD anyone’s UCLA/UCB backup?
@SmartGurl17 I am!
My top schools are UCLA UCB & UCSD
Isn’t there a huge difference between UCLA/B and UCSD?
That’s so weird that decisions are going to come out so late. Especially since SD seems like it will be after UCLA…
@SmartGurl17 I don’t know if choosing colleges by rank or reputation makes sense anymore. With the ridiculous number of applications, it’s difficult to say that UCSD, UCI or UCSB is a backup to Cal or UCLA since all of them have become much more selective. While Cal is more difficult to get into, being admitted to any of the others is an accomplishment in and of itself.
Hey, I feel as though UCSD decisions will come out by Monday next week. On their website on March 19th 2018, which is Monday next week, it states that that the alumni volunteers will “Congratulate and welcome newly admitted students to UC San Diego!” This, to me at least, indicates that the decisions will be released by Monday as the calling campaign specifically states the alumni will congratulate students who have been admitted, and I’m assuming they will be admitted by Monday March 19th, so I would expect decisions to be out by at least Monday. I feel like perhaps the decisions will be out on Friday based on this.
Let’s just wait till Friday and stop the speculation.
@usot00 Yeah, the way they worded that statement makes it seem like we would already know we are admitted before the 19th.
They said “Congratulate and welcome newly admitted…” If decisions weren’t out, wouldn’t they say something like “Congratulate and notify newly admitted students of their acceptance to UCSD!”
Maybe I’m looking too much on the words, but idk.
Anyone’s portal say “Los Angeles Reception at 3 pm on March 24” Under the items checklist??
@newapplicant101 mine does! And I am a transfer student
I have it. Is this like the Davis glitch?
@newapplicant101 Mine does! Is this a sign?!?!??
Yes! Mine says the same thing and it allows me to register. Could that indicate admittance? I researched the posts from past years and it seems only the admitted students were invited to this event.
@newapplicant101 yes I have that too
@person2000 I have no idea. I’m really confused why it is there though so I am wondering what everyone else has. what was the Davis glitch?
I have that too. Isn’t that just a simple tour of the campus though?
@orionary I don’t know how they can have a campus tour at a hotel in Los Angeles
I have that too
