@Transfer510 Yes, they were, however, they emphasized in letting me know that calc 2 must be completed prior to July 1st (transcript deadline). But, before she (ucsd counselor) said something, I went ahead and did that promise! I’m retaking Calc 1 self-paced at Rio Salado college (online) and will take calc 2 right away (after finish calc 1).
@napoleonspirit what’s your major?
@Motascol glad for you bro…i was rejected for econ with a 4.0 major gpa and 3.9 overall
@LynAmmo economics
I’m sorry to hear that @napoleonspirit.
@BoredEngineer So is it true they really took personal statements into consideration this year? In threads of past years its been stated that UCSD definite GPA only. I even had a counselor at my CC who said the same as he used to be a UCSD admissions officer. Huh. Madness.
Soooo many CS majors…
Well I’m not sure tbh. Its just weird to see highly qualified people get rejected.
A little surprised to see my rejection this afternoon haha
Major: Econ
GPA: 3.85
All pre-reqs done
Legal assistant at a law firm for the past year
Student senator at my cc
Chairman of constitution and bylaws committee
Presented research at uci and uc Berkeley
Treasurer for an honors society
List goes on…
It’s comforting to know other qualified people are in the same boat tho.
For all of you who got accepted, congrats!
That’s rad and take advantage of the tasty waves for me.
If you don’t I’ll be salty
@BoredEngineer what do you think this means for me and Cal? Zero chances or being rejected by UCSD carries no weight in them accepting me
I understand why CS would be really difficult to get into. The department has gotten too big and they’re trying to control growth, and they also need to take in those who got in through inter-department transfer first. Surprised about non CS majors not getting in though.
@Reacher123 GOD DANG! you should apply to Ivy leagues and blow a nice giant kiss to UCSD
Thanks man! Haha well I’ll just see what ucla and Berkeley think and then maybe put in an appeal
I got rejected today for the BS in psychology.
My GPA was a 3.84 but I was missing about 3-4 pre-requisites. However, I still got into UCI, UCR, UCD, SDSU, and LBSU.
I wish you all the best!
@dtretyak I feel. I’m just hoping they see something in our apps that UCSD didn’t. It’s different people, different school environments, idk.
@Reacher123 ye im saving my appeal for Cal.
@futurelawyer88 I finished IGETC and pre-reqs back in spring of 2016. This really sucks.
@itsromeosuckaa I’m in at UCI and UCR too!!! It would be cool to talk and maybe meet up at their open house or transfer days, whatever they have!
@itsromeosuckaa thats so weird! i have basically the same stats and got in, im sorry
did any physics majors get rejected? what were your stats?
and damn maybe ucsd is aiming to increase their yield this time? i mean they have been doing a major marketing push to get up in the rankings, they recently have been on a campaign to get like $2 billion in donations.
