But I also signed up for email updates on the admissions portal recently, so I could be trippin’ hahahaha. This wait is the WORST.
Don’t be playing with that “Future Triton”, if you don’t mean it, UCSD!!
I love you UCSD, love me back plz
Did anyone else get that email?
They accidentally sent an email to some of us several weeks back intended for “future tritons” inviting us to an overnight thing…Clicked on the link though and saw it was intended for freshmen.
But you got that email right before they’re supposed to send out decisions…
@tacoturnup … Scooby has murdered for less… ?
@kristinpete I got the freshman one a few weeks ago but not this one… I know it’s a bug but ughhhh, why do they do this??? Did anyone else get it?
ohh the cartoon on FX? @Scoobybrew
I have not gotten any emails :neutral: besides the accidental Overnight Program email intended for incoming high school seniors (which totally played with my heart).
@scoobybrew they are certainly keeping things suspenseful
The admissions office is so mysterious…?
@AceIsMy_HikingPuppy no its the movie about San Diego in the 70’s (I think) with Will Farrell. If you type in Anchorman 1 or Anchorman San Diego on youtube, you’ll get the reference.
Hello, hello everyone!
So, I’ve been stalking this thread for weeks now and finally decided to bite the bullet and make an account so I could be miserable with everyone.
Here are some rough stats because I don’t know the formatting:
Location: A rural California community college
Grade: Sophomore, will have 60 credits completed by the end of the semester.
GPA: 4.0
Test Scores: Never took any
Extracurriculars: Did ASB in high school, have worked part-time for a newspaper this whole year of being a full-time student
Sex: Female
Race: White/Latina (Second-generation Mexican-American)
Major: Visual Arts/Film/Communications (Visual Arts at Muir for UCSD)
Schools Applied to: UCSD, UCSB, USC, Pitzer College
Rejected: UCSB
Waiting: UCSD, USC, Pitzer
Special Circumstances/Notes: I graduated high school a year early through the CHSPE so, I’m freshmen age but will have junior status. I began taking college classes as a high school freshmen. Also, 6 of my units are actually UCSD/UC credits as I took a summer course at UCSD. I believe the credits is the reason why I was rejected from UCSB as well as the fact that my AA will not be completed due to my college not accepting some of my credits (like the UC ones).
So, I’ve already made contact with people at UCSD when I was there for the summer class. However, I have not received any of those emails anyone is talking about. I was feeling pretty great about my application but now it is getting closer, my gut is giving me a negative feeling. I felt the same way about UCSB (my safety school) and I ended up being right.
Also, not fishing for support or asking anyone if I have a chance. I get annoyed when people do that, lol. Just sharing my story!
This is ridiculous. I’m calling my congressman tomorrow. “Do you know how long it took me to photoshop my head onto Steve Jobs body at the iPhone release just to bolster my application as a techie?! Also, I don’t have another 500k$ laying around, respectfully, Mr. Vargas”.
damn im not getting any of these emails … I’m scared
@AceIsMy_HikingPuppy yea and @scoobybrew couldn’t finish the whale part or else they’d get banned, and we don’t need scooby to get banned, we need scooby and everyone else to be here and sulk with us haha. #miseryenjoyscompany
@bomnd I wouldn’t worry about it…It made me feel more uneasy tbh. They probably sent that email instead of my rejection one on accident
hahah, I’m just here to ease the tension for everyone and pull off Scooby masks when ever it’s necessary. I’m right here with you all. UCSD is my top choice, and am eagerly itching to know! But if a Scooby mask is needed to be torn off… I also do that hahah
@FemmeFilmFatale I’d be surprised if you DIDN’T get in. Your GPA is well above both the admit and enroll GPA’s for your major ( https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/transfers-major ). Do the 6 UCSD credits apply to your current major? Perhaps UCSB rejected you to protect their yield, as I imagine if your stats are high for UCSD, they are surely high for UCSB. Just a thought.
@Scoobybrew Very funny lol. This sight can’t be that prude. Whale vagina is not a bad word (but let’s find out).
Well guys, seems like tomorrow might be the day. I hope we all get the chance to stress out over housing soon Sending good energy into the universe for everyone. Stay positive ya’ll !!!
@tacoturnup At least these false emails are positive. What if you received an accidental one like “Sorry! Good luck with your future endeavors…”
@AceIsMy_HikingPuppy Dude, I am so nervous…I didn’t anticipate feeling this way.
