Congratulations to your son. If he plans to change to EE, make sure he reads the change of major information linked here: https://www.ece.ucsd.edu/undergraduate/selective-major-application

Same here, no update

youtube is interesting! what’s the channel about?

yes you will probably not see it yet. our portal just crashed.

no update here, portal looks the same.

Congratulations!

Electrical Engineering is a capped major. If that major is full, they will offer a student admission as undeclared. It is difficult to transfer into engineering, so make sure you take that into consideration when he makes a decision.

Congrats to your son! Is there an email as well, and if so, does its ay “Congratulations”?

yes it did! unfortunately our portal crashed so S24 is waiting to confirm. good luck to everyone!

Does that mean he wasn’t accepted into his first choice major of Electrical Engineering?

The portal home page is gone. It’s showing some irrelevant detail.

Yes, UCSD will evaluate applicants for their primary major and then alternate major and finally will be given Undeclared (unless Undeclared is the listed alternate major) if they do not meet the admission threshold for either major but meet the admission threshold for the University.

Correct, EE is a selective major. If a student is not accepted to their first choice selective major, they may be admitted to their second choice major, or undeclared.

has the banner returned for anyone else?

Does anyone else’s portal just say “Welcome, _____”?
