UCSD Admission Letter

<p>Dear blahblahblah:
BLAH.</p>

<p>BLAH.</p>

<p>BLAH… If you selected Bioengineering, Bioengineering: Biotechnology, Computer Engineering (Computer Science and Engineering or Electrical and Computer Engineering), or Computer Science as a choice of major, additional screening for admission to those majors is being conducted by the academic department, and you will be officially notified in writing of the decision approximately one week after receipt of this letter. Decisions made by the academic departments will NOT affect your admission to UCSD.</p>

<p>BLAH.</p>

<p>Sincerely, BLAH</p>

<p>I got accepted into Warren for Bioengineering. Does this mean that there is a chance I might be booted from this major after the screening?</p>

<p>I got an e-mail from the school of engineering that says:</p>

<p>“Let me personally congratulate you on your admission to the University of California, San Diego. I am also pleased to let you know that you have been admitted to your first choice major at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering.”</p>

<p>Does this mean that I have passed whatever additional screening they were doing?</p>

<p>Yes…</p>

<p>There are two screenings to get into any engineering programs at UCSD. You are first admitted to UCSD – the hard part is done; you are in. They then determined if you could be admitted to your first choice (major), second choice or put you in undecided engineering category based on your GPA/scores/etc./openings in each engineering major from all admitted engineering applicants. You get notified by the Jacobs School of Engineering about a week after you are admitted to UCSD if you got into your chosen engineering major. A little confusing – it is just a 2-step process.</p>
