I do not claim to own any or all of the media that may be shown in this video.
All of my opinions are entirely my own and do not represent any company I work for or am affiliated with.
Any financial topics discussed are not financial advice.
I was super upset abt my college options and this video made me feel a lot better about UCSD
Glad to hear it!
im going to ucsd this fall!!
Congrats!!
How is it? Is it very hard?
oh my god this was so helpful!!! I'm committed to UCSD class of 2024 and I got Revelle, I'm not a STEM major and frankly kind of hate science haha so I'm a bit worried about the GE requirements, so I'm wondering how hard is it to switch colleges?
I think GE's are designed to be relatively easier than major level courses (from my experience, as they have to be taken by all disciplines), so I wouldn't stress too much. I actually don't know anyone that has switched colleges, so I am not entirely sure on the process or what they look for. I'd suggest asking UCSD admissions for more details on that. Good luck and congrats!
There is an online petition form I believe called College Transfer Petition or something like that. There are some requirements you have to meet tho. For example, you have to prove that switching would let you graduate earlier...
12:26 Me: *wants to become a psychologist*
So I saw that photo and said "hold up- I needa see that again," LOL
Hahah what a coincidence
I just got admitted into UCSD for this fall as an International Relations major and I’ve been watching your videos non-stop. I am debating between UC Davis & UCSD so thank you for creating such useful college content that I can refer to during my decision :) Keep up the great work!
LOL girl i’m in the same situation between UCD and UCSD 😰 i’m excited but also hella stressed out haha
what college were you admitted into? i’m in marshall
Thanks for the kind words and good luck!
Leslie. This is me now.. watching so many videos. Did you end up choosing ucsd? If so, how’s your experience ?
@@Randomlyrandom607 Hi Beatriz! I chose UCSD and I don't regret my decision at all. I'd love to elaborate more on my experience, do you have an Instagram or somewhere we could connect on? Best of luck!
Is cooking possible in dorms kitchens if there's any? Or is the meal plan mandatory if you live on campus?
I think if you live on campus you are required to have a meal plan, but you can definitely cook in the dorm kitchens!
How did you do in high school? Could you give a SAT score or something? I’m just wondering because i know you said it isn’t as hard as people say and I want to know how hard it would be for me in comparison to high school
I never was really that great at standardized tests haha. I think my SAT was an 1860 (when it was out of 2400).
Hey! I’m an ERC freshman and was wanted to know about your experience with the college and MMW. Any advice would be appreciated. Great video btw.
whenever you hear ERC the first thing that pop up is MMW Lmao. I'm also in ERC
Hey there! I absolutely love ERC, but many students I have met may disagree. ERC focuses a ton on international development. In addition to the MMW classes, there is also a foreign language requirement and a regional specialization requirement. It may sound daunting, but it was really refreshing to take a mix of classes ranging from "History of the Italian Renaissance" to "Computer Organization and Systems Programming." MMW (and most other GEs) is not meant to be extremely challenging, and thus my GEs helped increase my GPA overall. When starting the MMW series I would just suggest taking good notes (because most of the exams are largely memorization based), and when it comes to write an essay, have a couple people read over it to make sure its actually good. Also ERC has the nices dorms but the worst dining hall, so take that as you will. Cheers!
@@ByteOfMichael are there food places close to ERC though? Also I heard it's far away from a lot of classes, I was just wondering if that was ever a problem for you? Thank you in advance:))
Allie L. Haha ERC has its own dining hall and it’s close to ocean view terrace (ovt) which has great pizza, and it’s close to the village market. The whole campus is pretty walkable so I wouldn’t worry too much haha!
thank you so much! this was super helpful :) if you know ANYTHING about seventh college, particularly the difficulty of ge’s and your opinion on the college’s courses/plan overall, i would love to know before may 1 LOL
I’m not super familiar with Seventh College requirements because this upcoming year will be the first year Seventh College is in session. The requirements seem to be of a wide variety so you get to cover a lot of different subjects, which I think could be rewarding. I’d check out the requirements here for more in depth details seventh.ucsd.edu/academics/degree-requirements/index.html . Hope this helps!
Lmao they call it "recruitment" for sororities because they're trying to move away from stereotypes (guys get to keep it because it doesn't hurt their image as much)
Confused about his nationality cause he keeps on switching accents
Do they put you in a dorm with people who are doing the same major as you?
Generally no, I don’t think they take that into account, but it’s possible that they coincidentally have the same major as you
Wait so like if I live on campus I have to have a meal plan? I can’t cook on my own? 😖
Ya unfortunately I do think you are required to have at least some money in a dining plan (but you can also cook if you have a kitchen), idk if that’s changed though
Where do you rank sd, irvine, and sb cause I got into the three and am trying to decide
It really depends on the program you got into. For me personally, I would rank UCSD and UCSB before Irvine, but I never visited SB or Irvine so take my opinions with a grain of salt!
Do you know where Transfers are living next year? Thanks!
They usually live in the Village, I’m not sure if that will be changed though next year!
MIQL thanks!
@@joelfischer4367 Hi, I'm a UCSD transfer! This year we're in the Village, but next year (2020) they'll be moved to The Rita or Pepper Canyon East.
Hey! I am admitted to UCSD for the CS major this fall. I got in Sixth college. However, when applying, I was not sure of how to rank my colleges. Could you let me know what you think of the Sixth college? Its GE's etc? Thank You!
I heard 6th college is the nicest one but idk about the gen Ed classes, I might be going there this year also
Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Sixth overall :/ Good luck tho!
How hard it is to go to a capped major?
It can be difficult, I believe its on a lottery system. You can find more info here students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/capped-majors.html!
Can you park overnight at glider port?
I probably wouldn’t, it could get kinda sketch leaving it there all night
@@ByteOfMichael yeah, so I’m thinking of coming to ucsd as a freshman and I’d like to bring a car. From the website, I know it’s really difficult to get a parking permit right? So do you have any alternative parking solutions? -also, I’ll be at erc!
@@phudang4115 Ya you either have to find other places to park, or submit for a parking exception to be able to park on campus as a freshman. Also if you have enough AP credit to be considered a sophomore, you'll be able to purchase a parking permit, even though are technically a first-year.
@@ByteOfMichael I see, alright thanks a lot!
bro,,,, ERC is hard as shit go to Muir
Are you still at UCSD?
Nah I graduated in 2020!
Please donate me a cheap laptop for do coding please brother
