Revelle College-the hardest college to get into?

Colleges & Universities University of California - San Diego

<p>I heard that Revelle college is the hardest college to get into…is that true? Is there a rank of the colleges, from the hardest to get into, and the easiest?</p>

<p>Also, how do they determine whether or not you got your first choice, second choice, etc.?</p>

<p>No, the hardest would be Muir I imagine. Out of the 6 colleges, Revelle is supposedly more “prestigious”, although its all still in the same school >_> Revelle has the hardest GE requirements, so not many people want to go there unless they’re going to do a lot of the GEs anyways.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’d actually say Revelle is one of the easier colleges to get into because it has notoriously difficult GEs.</p>

<p>I think you’re placed into colleges depending on how high up you are in terms of points. If you have a lot of points, and therefore are toward the top of the accepted students pool, then you’ll probably get your first choice. Then it filters down and “lower” students are placed in their second or whatever choices if their first choice is already filled.</p>

<p>revelle is the hardest to graduate
let me repeat again: hardest to graduate</p>

5

<p>revelle has a lot of history, prestige, and dorms…but not a lot of people aspiring to get in or switch into it.</p>

6

<p>Isn’t Revelle the Honors House as well?</p>

7

<p>If by honors house you mean the college where all the honors students are, then no. Each college has its own honors program.</p>

<p>When you graduate, the degree is from UCSD - not the particular ‘college’ at UCSD. No employer is going to know the difference between Revelle, Muir, Sixth, etc. Also, after the first couple of years when you move off-campus the college doesn’t matter that much any more since you’ll be mostly focused on your major, classmates in that major, and other activities. The biggest impact of the colleges is in the GEs required. As long as they generally align with your area of interest, don’t worry about it. Also don’t forget that many of you will change your major (or pick one) a couple of times while you’re there. All colleges have all majors and you’ll be attending classes all over campus in most of the colleges.</p>

<p>Muir is traditionally the most selective since it has more applicants due to its easier GE requirements. </p>

<p>Don’t stress too much over the college since it probably really won’t matter that much to you in the end.</p>

<p>actually, when you graduate, you graduate from a specific college, not from UCSD. Each college has their own graduation ceremony, so it’s separate.</p>

<p>But I agree - most employers will know/care that you graduate from UCSD, rather than from a specific college.</p>

<p>The point thing is relatively BS.

<p>Many people who had lower stats than me got Muir when I had Muir as my choice 1.</p>
