<p>Where do you plan to stay and what kind of deal?</p>

<p>Are you going Greek or joining any clubs?</p>

<p>Major and Undergraduate College?</p>

<p>Have you lived in San Diego before?</p>

<p>Describe yourself and how you feel about going to UCSD in 5 sentences or less.</p>

<p>Just copy that, paste it and put in your responses.</p>

<p>I'll start.</p>

<p>Where do you plan to stay and what kind of deal?</p>

<p>I was originally going to stay where I'm at. One room in a house for $550 a month, utilities included. And then I realized how lacking my social life at UCSD will be from being off campus, so I decided to apply to Village. Then today, my brother in law informed me that his cousin owns a complex right next to UCSD and she's going to rent me a full one bedroom apartment for $600 a month. </p>

<p>Are you going Greek or joining any clubs?</p>

<p>I'm thinking of joining a club. I'm not encouraged by the "rush" and hazing process. I wanna join a culturally diverse club and a science field related club. Hoping to become more active and get involved in campus life. I'll probably pursue clubs directly rather than waiting to be approached.</p>

<p>Major and Undergraduate College?</p>

<p>Bio-Engineering Biotechnology. John Muir. Thinking of trying to get into Nanoengineering Bioengineering in 2011-2012.</p>

<p>Have you lived in San Diego before?</p>

<p>I lived here when I turned 19, moved back home and then came back here to San Diego when I was 24 to go back to school. I know a lot about this city and lived all over.</p>

<p>Describe yourself and how you feel about going to UCSD in 5 sentences or less.</p>

<p>I'm very excited because UCSD has been a part of my life before and I never answered questions about it. As soon as I majored in engineering, I had been told of how great of a school UCSD is and how I should try to pursue my options there. I'm nervous because of the mentioned culture bias (I'm Hispanic and we only make up 12% of students there) but I'm hoping I'll mesh well with open minded Asian and White students along with my Hispanic coeds.</p>

<p>Okay, I’ll bite since no one else is:</p>

<p>Where do you plan to stay and what kind of deal?</p>

<p>I have a wife and two kids so we’ll be staying in a 2Br at the Mesas (single graduate and family housing) on the east side of campus.</p>

<p>Are you going Greek or joining any clubs?</p>

<p>Greek life? LOL No. As for other clubs, we’ll see if I have time. There are some clubs that are interesting to me but not necessarily for the social aspect. I don’t really need a club to make friends.</p>

<p>Major and Undergraduate College?</p>

<p>Earth Science/Geophysics. Revelle.</p>

<p>Have you lived in San Diego before?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>Describe yourself and how you feel about going to UCSD in 5 sentences or less.</p>

<p>I lived in Japan for a number of years and developed a strong interest in earth science there (lots of examples of geologic processes in Japan). UCSD has a great program for what I want to study, and a lot of connections in research.</p>

<p>Essenar, you’ll be a perfect fit at UCSD especially with that major. Awesome thread btw.</p>

<p>Where do you plan to stay and what kind of deal?
The Village, most probably. Apparently we transfers won’t be able to get into college apartments. Kinda bummed about that.</p>

<p>Are you going Greek or joining any clubs?
Clubs, for sure. Greek, we’ll see.</p>

<p>Major and Undergraduate College?
Comp E, Warren! Thinking of double majoring with math, hopefully I don’t die in the process :heart:</p>

<p>Have you lived in San Diego before?
LA-yes, OC-right now, SD-never. Does falling in love with the campus after the first visit count for something?</p>

I was ecstatic like hell. It was 8 am and I was super groggy after only 3 hours of sleep so when I checked my status first thing in the morning (as usual) and saw the freaking jump shot, it just about gave me enough strength to do the same while shrieking like a banshee. First acceptances ftw. Can’t wait :)</p>
