<p>Hi - So I've posted a few times already about how I only got into UCSD, but how I'm not so sure about their Lit department. Berkeley still seems to be the best, but since I'm rejected, I'm not so sure it's worth it to appeal.</p>
<p>So does anyone have any perspective on UCSD's Literature dep.? Is anyone else here going to UCSD to major in Lit/Writing? Anyone already major in this there? Any other schools that might be worth waiting around to apply to in the Spring for English major? Or should I just take my chances @ UCSD? =p PLEASE SHARE ANY INFO!</p>
<p>Thanks - Camille</p>
<p>I'm actually kind of intrigued by the Lit/Writing major. If you didn't know, it's essentially a major consisting primarily of writing workshops in whatever area your interested in: short Fiction, longer fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, journalism, screenwriting... and with a few standard literature courses as well.</p>
<p>but i live in sd and cannot in good conscience condone going there, because i feel it largely lives up to its reputation (boring/dead). not to mention i've no idea how good the literature dept at ucsd actually is due to the fact that no one never mentions it and because ucsd is geared more towards the sciences.</p>
<p>consider irvine and la while your at it</p>
