<p>how often do you get into your #1 choice of college? Do the applicants with the better GPA get priority?</p>
<p>I don’t know how it works, but at a seminar the Chancellor herself said nearly everyone gets into their first or second choice college.</p>
<p>Almost everyone will get their top pick.</p>
<p>UCSD colleges are less of a factor for transfers. They make a difference for freshman applicants, who generally spend at least their first year on campus in their college’s housing, and who have to satisfy their college’s general education requirements.</p>
<p>For transfers, so long as you pick one of the colleges that accepts IGETC to satisfy all (or nearly all) of your general education requirements, what college you end up in doesn’t really matter as much. Transfers have their own housing facility for on-campus students… To me, it’s almost like there’s a seventh residential college–“Transfer College.” </p>
<p>However, from what I understand, they do tend to group transfers into their individual residential colleges within the transfer housing facilities, but still, it’s not quite the same as actually living in Muir or Warren or any of the others.</p>
<p>fyi, you do NOT want to be in sixth and live on-campus. that’s a fricken ridiculous walk.</p>
<p>you could get a bicycle</p>
<p>But sixth is pretty bad. However they have FoodWorx but the con to that is you will gain weight, a substantial amount. Sixth is right by Pepper Canyon so if you’re an art, music major it wouldn’t be too bad. Its not that far from engineering classes in Warren…</p>
