<p>SD only. TAG.</p>
<p>@randolph: There is definitely another batch coming in, as a lot of people on here are TAGgers in non-impacted majors.</p>
<p>@randolph freaking congrats! 
</p>
<p>@Fenris How come you didn’t apply to any others? Not even a backup? Well, hopefully we both get in . . .</p>
<p>I know. Im just pessimistic cause I have a 3.63, all prereqs (no TAG cause im an international student) but my major is supposed to be the hardest to get in :/</p>
<p>Where are you from and what major?</p>
<p>I hope I will get accepted to UCSD because I don’t want to hear double rejection in 1 day; UCB and UCSD 
My major required Discrete Math when filling in UCB required courses list but I didn’t take it >.< Actually I really do want to take the course but due stupid state budget cut, so I was unable to sign up due to maximum unit reached. Oh well, 6 more days…I am so glad I got accepted to UCLA; otherwise, I would be screw for another year at CCC lol</p>
<p>enchanted: because I did TAG</p>
<p>I was reading this and randomly noticed…</p>

<p>103,000 women and 80,000 men in the UC system last year. Wow, I didn’t even think the gap was THAT huge.</p>
<p>That’s not just the UC system. In general, more women are going to college than men. This has been the case for about 15 years now.</p>
<p>A lot of people pinpoint it to the fact that younger boys are pressured socially to be “aggressive” and “non academic”. </p>
<p>Us guys have it easy to find a girlfriend at a UC as long as we try.</p>

<p>^ There are a lot of men that are academically “aggressive” or competitive. The reason more women are going to school now, is because of our individualistic American society. Today, women are more independent of men than they were in the past. For this reason, you see women working for upward social mobility just as much as men (always have). It’s definitely an interesting time. Gender roles are being redefined, people are becoming more self sufficient, and social connections and relationships are taking a step backwards because of it.</p>
<p>What you described is why more women are applying to college than women have in the past, but I was explaining why there are more women in college than men. You didn’t really provide any insight on that issue, which is what someone was asking about. </p>
<p>The gender imbalance has a lot to do with more females being academically competitive than males. And it makes sense. In high school as you approach your senior year and think about what you’re doing with your life, as a girl your choices are socially limited.</p>
<p>Notice I said “socially” so don’t start with your egocentric feminism approach. Virtually ALL sociologists acknowledge this belief.</p>
<p>You’re more likely to hear, “I’m going to join the marines” or “I’m going to join the army” or “I’m going to work in construction” from a male than a female. If a female desires to pursue anything beyond secondary, it’s usually college. In rare circumstances is it service or the work force. </p>
<p>In my own clique of friends, I would say only 30% of them went to college after high school. The rest either joined the military, the work force or went to some kind of technical occupation training (job core or Devry). </p>
<p>Whereas, from my female friends, almost all of them went to college, with the exception being the ones who were dating a guy who was going into service or getting married. </p>
<p>If you’re talking to your son, when you ask “What are you doing after high school?” it can either be “I’m gonna go to the Navy” or “I wanna work with you dad”. But when talking to your daughter, the most likely answer is “I wanna go to this school”.</p>
<p>^ The women are IN college BECAUSE they applied. My explanation applies to both. And, I would argue that both men and women have equally limited options when leaving high school. Men are limited because they lack a college degree, and women for the same reason. Women and men can both join the military and occupy different (or the same) roles. Men and women can also work construction under the same conditions. Your analysis lacks the amount of perspective needed for the issue.</p>
<p>^ uh huh. Anyway, does anyone know why some people have been able to sign up for transfer admit day but not received an admission decision?</p>
<p>^***…after I saw your message I went to the UCSD Transfer Admit Day reserve site and guess what?
" Your reservation has been successfully received. We look forward to seeing you at the event."
So, I guess my UCSD golden ticket is guaranteed. 2 down, 1 more to go. :)</p>
<p>It said the same thing for me, and I think that’s a great sign!!</p>
<p>^Don’t think. It IS a great sign ^_^</p>
<p>Lol I certainly want it to be because I only applied to 1 UC and it’s UCSD!!</p>
<p>^lol, talk about risk! I was thinking the same because UCSD has tag with my CCC. Beside, I never thought I would’ve got into UCLA or UCB; but what the heck, why waste the fee waiver when you can apply up to 4 colleges for free? Gave it a shot and got into UCLA lol</p>
<p>@ Argo, </p>
<p>That’s great news! We will all know for sure by next week. </p>
<p>“All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.”</p>
<p>I could have probably gotten in UCLA and/or Cal, but I want to stay in San Diego right now as I have relatives there that I can live with free of rent. Then I want to go to law school and I’ll move at that point.</p>
