Wow...UCSD's admission packet SUCKS

<p>I just got it today...came in a freakin brown paper envelope...inside are two letters and some information printed in cheap flyer type paper...</p>

<p>Does it still say pre-ee major?</p>

<p>no it says Electrical Engineering now....weird</p>

<p>Really? Wow, I might reconsider them now, lol..
Hey, are you allowed to take summer classes at UCLA yet?</p>

<p>no idea...</p>

<p>i got the ucsd package twice, and oddly enough it was the same for both terms, spring and fall. i though at first that maybe since it was spring that it was ugly looking b/c not man people apply so they just send out something random without an official packet, but then in the fall i got the same thing and i was disspointed, i wanted something cool, ucla gave me something cool.</p>

<p>yea...nothing can beat UCLA's admission packet....the thing is UCD and UCI's admission packet was better than UCSD's....go figure...they won't raise through the school rankings with crap</p>

<p>I thought UCLA's packet was weak, actually.</p>

<p>Berkeley's was simple and straightforward--they know they don't need to impress much with such a thing.</p>

<p>Wasnt Cals and Las very similar?</p>

<p>guys.</p>

<p>it's just admissions letters. calm the **** down. thanks.</p>

<p>i guess im not the only one with the same thoughts...</p>

<p>whats in the packet? what does it tell you or is it just the letter to tell you if your in or not?</p>

<p>Haven't seen it (praying I will soon) but I heard USCs is great. A huge envelope with a real nice certificate of admission, the letter and a bunch of other stuff.</p>

<p>wow we have a USC groupie here folks...welcome sir</p>

<p>Hey Citan, just curious, on the ucsd admissions website does it still have your major listed as pre-electrical engineering?</p>

<p>ee_stu,</p>

<p>You would choose a school based on a silly prefix? Huh.</p>

<p>Everyone,</p>

<p>Admissions packets, while a nice touch, are largely meaningless. When I got into UCs, Cal's was gigantic and beautiful, as was UCLA's. You know whose was best?</p>

<p>UCI.</p>

<p>No joke.</p>

<p>But don't feel too bad. UCSD IR/PS (my grad program) also sent out a little envelope with nada. I say the program should speak for itself, not fancy paper and logos. Although, LSE's packet was gorgeous...</p>

<p>UCCE: no...wow it changed too!!! it was pre-EE just a week ago....</p>

<p>"On behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the University of California, San Diego, I congratulate you on your admission to Muir College as a major in Electrical Engineering! UCSD is one of the nation's most outstanding universities, and we look forward to welcoming you to our campus. "</p>

<p>UCLAri: you liked UCI's.....it was just two pieces of paper....</p>

<p>UCI would kill for more students, that's why...</p>

<p>Citan,</p>

<p>I guess UCI changed their packet.</p>

<p>At any rate, if what I hear from friends getting into grad schools is any indication, big beautiful packets are a thing of the past. Most of the bleeding edge-types of schools are moving past that, and putting everything on teh Intarwebs to save money.</p>
