hey guys! i got waitlisted for uci and cal poly slo so im super nervous about ucsd. its my first time posting in here also :smiley:

major: computer science
gpa: 3.85 after TAU
igetc done, pre-reqs done except one class (but was told it would not affect my chances), a bunch of recommended classes done as well
ec: 3 part-time jobs, no other ec’s bc of financial situation so i had to work
essays are just okay imo, i talked about struggles during school n how i overcame it along w some hobbies i have

do u guys think i have a chance?

UCSD takes a lot of CS students compared to other UCs. You should be good. I likely won’t be attending UCI for CS so hopefully you can take my spot!

I was surprised you got waitlisted for UCI. Looking at their transfer stats, it does seem that 3.85 is at the lower end of the GPA range for UCI. But then you worked 3 jobs so that should definitely be taken into account. But then UCI places more weight on numbers than circumstances so ig it kinda makes sense. If anything, the admit rate for CS at UCSD is higher than UCI (20% vs 12%).

Good luck everyone! :crossed_fingers:

Does anyone know when they are releasing decisions? Will it most likely happen this week or next week?

I was also waitlisted for UCI my stats are similar to yours, fingers crossed for UCSD. Good luck!

Im hoping for the best!!! I got denied at UCI for CS and hoping for something at UCSD.

My Stats:

Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.87 after TAU
IGETC Complete
All Pre-reqs done after this Spring (2 left to go)
EC: 1 Part-Time Job and a few clubs from cc and high school

Im extremely worried about the results. If I don’t get in I’ll have to figure out what I’m doing after cc.

What is your major and gpa?

3.2 gpa. My primary major was cs, and alternate major was econ. To be fair though I was missing some of the lower div major requirements from assist. But I at least thought I would get in for my alternate major (econ) without a problem because I had all the major prep completed for econ and my gpa was good enough (at least I thought).

For anyone who wants to join

Did you TAG any schools? I don’t believe you can TAG any CS majors at any UC, but I’m curious. Admittedly, 3.2 is pretty low for CS programs.

I tagged to ucsc and got in. I’m pretty sure you can tag for cs to all the uc’s except for uci, ucla, and ucb.
