Hey guys, so i got admitted into Roosevelt College. Could you please give me some info regarding Roosevelt?
Accepted: ECE. Does anyone know if the UCSD Regents and/or Chancellor’s scholarship was awarded along with admission letters? If not, then when could we expect those scholarships to go out?
Here is some information regarding GEs. ERC is on the north end of campus, so depending on what major you are, you might have to walk a bit for your classes. That being said, it’s close to the big gym on campus, as well as the Village, which is a residential area for overflow housing (it’s very nice). I personally love how ERC looks and the dining hall is not bad. I have friends in ERC and it is a pretty great college.

@onpinsandneedles I can totally relate. This is way harder on us parents than it seems for our kids. That being said my S had a horrible week of rejections to all the UC schools that he so deserved to get in to. It makes our mantra of “work hard and you’ll be rewarded” meaningless. After being offered admission to 2 great honors business programs with scholarships at out of state schools it makes little sense that he got outright rejected by CalPoly, UCSB, UCLA, USC and waitlisted at UCSD when kids with much lower stats are getting offers from every UC they applied to. Absolutely heartbreaking no matter how you try to justify it especially since the college counselor that we hired (no not that one!) said that most of these schools were core schools or safeties for him. I don’t want to hear about what a banner year it was for application numbers, how competitive the schools have become, he should have applied to all UC’s not just the ones he wanted to go to, life isn’t fair… our system is broken, period. Maybe the UC schools should start working together to ensure that their top in state students get at least 1 offer to keep the talent here rather than pulling it from out of state or internationally. We’ll be doing things very differently for our next child. Rant over, thanks for listening:)
Congrats to all those students who really did get admitted after their hard work - you deserve it!
Keep in mind that UCSD is waitlisting a bunch of people because of overadmitting last year. Definitely take the waitlist, it’s not a bad thing if you were waitlisted.
D accepted. OOS. 3.95 UW. 4.1ish UCW capped. 1370 SAT. Psychology.
@SDluvinnout I totally understand. When my daughter was applying 4 years ago she was waitlisted at every UC other than UCR. She applied for grad school this year and had zero accepted. She will try again next year. (She is graduating with honors, a 3.95 and the highest ranked microbiology student in the university plus 3 years paid work in a bio lab and great letters of rec) This is set against my son who is applying for undergrad this year. He’s had 9 acceptances. ?? I’m thrilled for him and soo sad for her. I don’t know why the process can be soo negative for some and seemingly all yeses for another… all within the same family.
@DStepler My son’s responses have been quite similar. It’s a blow knowing he has amazing stats and ECs (especially since we are in-state tax payers and graduated from UC system ourselves…but things are so different now than they were Back then). However our take is now a positive one that the UC experience isn’t the right fit for him in the end. (He did get into UCSC as safety but isn’t considering it). ASUs Barrett Honors college has been stellar in rewarding him for his efforts. Merit money, awesome business program, extra scholarship for study abroad, etc… I’ll happily send my $$ to AZ since they are willing to reward my son for his efforts…and it’s a great program with extra privileges to boot. He also has SDSU in the running, which was a dream school for many of his friends…most all of whom were rejected. So there’s no UC for my kid, but 2 AWESOME options on the table. Congrats to all these kids for whatever path of higher education has aligned with them. They are ALL great paths in the end. Your son will find the gift in wherever he ends up. Stay positive and let go of the UC rejection angst. I did ?
