<p>ok let’s take this one step at a time. it’s going to be long, so enjoy ![]()
I love the campus. It is not only beautiful, but if u have taken an architecture class, you can just gaze at the building and its beauty! Another thing is the free shuttles. My sister goes to a Cal State and she doesn’t get free shuttles. As a commuter, free shuttles are awesome. Finally, Geisel. This is the best library in the universe. The architecture is elegant, the style is rocking, and it’s *****in overall.</p>
<p>
Yes and No. My yes would be because I want to be a pharmacist, so i wish i went to one of those accelerated pharm colleges with auto admission to pharm. school…
but since i didn’t do that, no. i would never choose another college. :D</p>
<p>
Ba-ha-ha-ha-ha of course not. I put too much effort in my first 10 weeks ;)</p>
<p>
well UCSD isn’t known for “socialness” but i think it’s bull. We have fun in our own way. Sure UCSD doesn’t go loony with the alcohol, but if you want to you can go to SDSU. they have the rep already.</p>
<p>
Classes… ugh boring. Well from a freshman perspective. I find myself sitting in class and wanting to go to Geisel. But it could be just me. Also, sections are different. They are rather helpful, but i wish that they were optional in all cases. I have to go to my MMW section, and although it is interesting, i’d rather be going home. But idk, sections IMHO helps students more than we actually think [still wont stop me from not attending though :)]</p>
<p>and to answer your chance thread. I would say you have a decent shot. Everything seems to be in order, and maybe the GPA should be higher [i forget what the average is at UCSD]… but you have a great chance with those E.C.'s
keep in mind though, just because we tell you that you have a great shot, it doesn’t mean you are in. Just to be sure about your list, you should definitely visit each campus you have applied to.</p>
<p>Good Luck! i got in with a 4.25 GPA, 1860 SAT, 650,620 SAT II, amazing ECs, a lot of volunteer, and IMO an outstanding essay
oh and i guess i got bonus points for being Indian
[that and the ELC stuff]</p>
<p>keep in mind UCSD has switched to a more “holistic” approach, which could either kill you or make you. generally, the holistic is in your favor, so with that said, you have a medium-high chance if that makes sense.
you would probably be above the average, but not as wanted as those “high” people…</p>
