In terms of an MBA program, any degree can be used. It’s sort of similar to law school in that respect, so an undergrad Econ degree will work. Try to take management science though. The math involved is much more rigorous which will only help you. For an MBA, they are really looking for work experience. No one gets into an M7 MBA without at least 2-4 years of work experience and a good GMAT score. Your institution and major don’t really matter.

1) No Greek life here either, but you won’t miss them on library walk if you decide to walk by there throughout the first five weeks of the quarter. In my opinion, it gets rather annoying. No one likes getting barraged by flyers.

2)I’m an ERC student as well. MMW is not a terrible course. It’s time consuming, but if writing is easy for you, then it should be a walk in the park. I enjoyed Chang this quarter, so try to get him if you can. As has been echoed, there are only a few classrooms in ERC. Thus, most of your classes will be held in other colleges or sites of campus. I don’t find that troublesome though, for it gives you time to walk and burn some calories. The residence halls are very nice and fairly new. Beware of the dining hall. They need to step up their game. It’s horrendous in comparison to other dining halls.

3) I think I remember asking the same question last year. They won’t let you enroll in classes at UCSD, but you can enroll in GE’s at your local CC.

4) This question has been answered twice, so I don’t see the need to say the same thing. One caveat I would add, they are now instituting the “two pass” system for registration. This should allow you to get some of the professors that you really want. Be prepared to take a few you are not too excited about though. However, I have found that these ratings are not very accurate. Most of the kids who rate must have been spoiled with the world’s greatest professors/teachers in high school because I have found nearly all of my professors to be excellent teachers. To each his own I guess.

5) Each class allots a certain amount of lecture and section time per week. How it works-one unit per one hour of classroom time. That’s generally the norm, but there are a few exceptions. Most people transition from a Tues-Thurs heavy schedule to a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule quarterly based on the classes they were able to register for. Either way, expect to spend less time in class but more time alone hitting the books.

6) As has been said. 16 is the norm. Your writing intensive courses take up 6 units each though, so most kids take 18 during those quarters.
