<p>I’m pretty sure it’s true for all UCs, but it’s so new that no one knows *** is going on with it. We’ll have to wait and see. At least I’m very certain we’ll get at least like 15000-16000, if anything it’ll be closer to 20k because of the SMART grant for science majors. </p>

<p>Yeah it does get kind of annoying. No matter how well I can comprehend stuff, it won’t help me when I’m taking bio, oh wells. </p>

<p>I’m going for experimental psych grad school at UCSD after undergrad though, behavioral neuroscience. Hopefully cogsci as well, they got a dual doctorate program. </p>

<p>We’re technically in the same field then. :)</p>

22

<p>mine is 2600, and the award estimators put me at between 14k and 18k, depending on the school. </p>

<p>i think you’ll be in good shape.</p>

23

<p>pinkerfloyd what do you mean by award estimators?</p>

24

<p>I think he means this: <a href=“http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/UCSDCollegeProfile.pdf[/url]”>http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/UCSDCollegeProfile.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Somewhere on that PDF there’s a link to an estimator where you input your info and they tell you around how much you might get.</p>

25

<p>oh, my efc is like 200…so ya…hope i get lots of grant money!</p>

<p>I’ll probably try and get a job in LJ anyways.</p>

<p>thanks kkiji! if anyone else wants to see, it is here</p>

<p>looks like if this calculation is correct i’ll be getting something in the low 20k’s</p>

27

<p>oh and since this is the ucsd transfer housing thread, thought you guys might like to know that I sent an email to the “Village” rep. asking about the rooms. I didn’t know if they were singles, doubles, or triples…(or all three). so yeah…</p>

28

<p>Ooo you should send them an email complaining about the price, I’m going to right now.</p>

29

<p>i’ll email as well, although i haven’t received a decision yet</p>

30

<p>imo think we should wait until the “official” price comes out before complaining about it.
I mean they’ve already lowered their estimate a couple times, i wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up costing just as much as the normal on campus housing.</p>

31

<p>It’s very possible that they’re lowering it because so many people are complaining. :)</p>

32

<p>good point… in that case, lets complain away!</p>

<p>@kkiiji
I haven’t even thought about grad school yet haha. Good luck hopefully we both get in. which college in ucsd is your first choice? I chose mine randomly and somehow my first is revelle. Lol.</p>

<p>Finally theres someone with “technically” the same major as me haha. I chose cogsci because it was a major that I met the most prereq, luckily, lol. I sound like the worst student right now. I found out this week their ranking for cogsci and its better than ucla or cal, and I wanted to go to cal…(wanted). Now ucsd is my first choice.</p>

<p>Guys, pass the housing email so I can complain too.</p>

34

<p>i got 0 for fin aid :(</p>

35

<p>@iamlegendary: the link to e-mail them is</p>

<p><a href=“mailto:Thevillage@ucsd.edu”>Thevillage@ucsd.edu</a></p>

36

<p>kmzizzle, me too :-/</p>

37

<p>My college of choice is Revelle because its GE reqs are perfect for bio majors. I think cogsci is pretty damn interesting, you’ll probably love it. </p>

<p>By the way am I the only one that curse uncontrollably when seeing this? </p>
