UCSD Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

Transfer Students UC Transfers
681

UCSD is in close proximity to biotech, financial, and medical businesses and operations. The streets roll up at night. The village of La Jolla has night life which is dominated by tourists and the nouveau riche.
SDSU is the party school, and is 30 min away, but it is also a magnet for local hoodlums and a lot of stuff pops off at frat parties and such.

I cannot speak specifically to the weekend atmosphere of UCSD but where there is a will there is a way, and the school has been in existence too long for students not to have figured out how to have the “college” experience.

Well then, lucky for me I’m not a party person lol seriously we should like meet up and study at a cafe if we get in

@blackonyx I have applied as a transfer from UC Merced. I got into UCSB for Computer Science but am waiting for the rest of the decisions to come out. Are you transferring from a UC?

684

@hingoman25 No, I am transferring from a CCC… Why do you ask?

685

I’m already a socially dead person so I feel like that won’t bother me. I visited a friend there on Thursday and it was so quiet and no one was really talking to one another. They were mostly just on their phones. But that’s just what I saw and it could be a different vibe. I just didn’t see it lol

686

I got accepted to ucsb for Sociology! Should I feel confident for UCSD in that case then?

687

Omg all you uc to uc transfers talk to me. Anyone a first year

688

I am also a transfer from UC Merced! I Got into UCSB for politcal Science. Here’s hoping for the best on the 21st!

689

Have any psychology majors been admitted to UCSD yet? I’m still waitong on an admissions decision.

690

We will find out in 2 days

691

Man, I have my fingers crossed for UCSD! I am so anxious.

I feel bad for us and most of the UCLA transfer potentials, haha.

692

@Orangered123 I’m worried about it being socially dead. That’s actually the biggest drawback for me. I want a fun yet stimulating college experience and am afraid UCSD won’t be able to provide me with that, especially since I have never wanted to and don’t plan on rushing.
It’s not that I want to get black out drunk every night, I’d just like for college to be a lively, exciting, and social atmosphere, and to make amazing and wild memories that I’ll forever look back upon fondly!

693

So UCSD will release their admission decisions on friday right? at 5pm? … I just hope they dont pull a ucla lol

694

@bmora101 If UCSD does that I will get a heart attack from anxiety. (..) ( l: ) ( .-. ) ( :l ) (..)

695

696

@bmora101 do you think UCLA is serious? Or do they just want to distract us? Maybe it’s actually on Friday?

697

Wednesday seems like an awkward/uncharacteristic day to release admissions

698

@Panitaispretty What did UCLA do, push it back?

699

@blackonyx Was reading UCLA thread, and someone called the admission officer or something and they told that the decisions were going to be posted on Wed 26th or something.

@Panitaispretty I don’t see why an institution like UCLA would lie to distract us haha. I don’t mind waiting, besides UCSD’s admission decisions come out this friday right? I’ll wait on that! :slight_smile:
