Major: Literature/Writing
GPA: 3.45 upon application (didn’t bother calculating based on what they don’t take, etc)

Tap: No, though my IGETC would be considered done if they considered my university courses (transferred from Pepperdine University, rank #58 in US) still doing math in spring tho
Extracurriculars: pretty stellar, had tons of writing experience, lots of writing internships and employment
Essays: I thought they were weak and wishy-washy but I’ve always been pretty good at writing and talking my way into things…so who knows
Other: talked about hardships, including depression because my old school was homophobic and financial problems where I had to step up to help my family
Housing Message: I never checked, didn’t want the stress of it
Rejected: UCLA, UCSB (<-second one was a huge bummer for me, made me worried for everything else)
Accepted: only UCSD

I cannot even believe my luck and I really want to congratulate everyone who got in and send my most compassionate wishes for those who were not… I didn’t think I deserved to go to a school like SD and now i’m all like ;______;

My housing status changed early this week for people who might reference this in the future.

Anyone knows can I change major in UCSD? I got accepted into my second major(mathemetic B.S), I want to change it into CS…is it possible?
If it is too hard, can I change my major to math-computer science, which is a non-impacted major?? HELP!!!

Waitlisted but I got into SB, so I’m grateful lol

OMG I GOT ACCEPTED… TO UCLA! AND…
waitlisted to UCSD
housing message: obviously the “bad” one! If any future transfers happen to stumble upon this and are debating in your head whether or not to believe the INFAMOUS HOUSING TRICK… its real, accept it and move forward. I accepted this fact last week and it honestly made today a lot easier. ANDD I got into UCLA so today is the best day ever.
CONGRATS to everyone who got accepted anywhere!!
