UCSD Class of 2018 Official Decisions Thread

Colleges & Universities University of California - San Diego
1901

<p>i’m using the format from another thread
Decision: Accepted For Physiology and Neuroscience at Marshall
SAT: 2220
SAT 2’s: Bio e:770, Chem:720
AP’s : AP Chem(3), AP Bio(4), AP Environmental(5), AP US(5), AP Lang(5), AP Psych (5)
EC’s: Founder and president of volunteer club, instrumental program, interning, other volunteering clubs, the usual
UC GPA: 4.0
Awards: National Merit Commended Scholar, AP Scholar with Distinction
Supplemental Survey: yes, i think that it helped me get in, had personal/family problems
Essays: strong, talked about my experience with facing traumatic incidents in high school

i honestly think my supplemental essays pulled me through. also, my sibling went here, so im guessing that was somewhat of a factor, because i got marshall like her. SAT’s and SAT2’s were good, but not spectacular,
Congrats to all!!</p>

1908

<p>does anyone know how many people got accepted, apparently 89,000 people applied (according to ucsd website)</p>

1909

<p>@jkimzo hey we’re the same major :smiley: Do you mind telling me the difference between Computer Science and Engineering and Mathematics and Computer Science </p>

1910

<p>Found the link.</p>

<p>Number of applicants.</p>

<p><a href=“http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f”>http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>73,356 freshman
15,813 transfer</p>

1911

<p>Accented w/Regents
Muir college (first choice)
Physiology and Neuroscience major
unweighted GPA: 4.00
UC weighted GPA: 4.45 (highest possible at high school)
SAT: 2390 (800w/790m/800cr)
SAT IIs: 740 USH - 710 Bio E - 720 Lit</p>

<p>Lots of leadership and ECs, every slot was filled on the application. Two separate science internships, both rather prestigious. Well-written essays that highlighted my best ECs. Not all that surprised by the acceptance (or even by regents), but the financial aid package came in phenomenally better than I had anticipated, by about $7,000 a year. No loans or work study as part of the package either, purely grant based. Now to decide between this, Columbia (accepted with a likely letter a few weeks ago), and Harvard/Princeton/Stanford if I get in, might come down to the financial aid… </p>

1912

<p>@2018 dad here it is :<a href=“http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f”>http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/pressrelease/uc_san_diego_receives_record_89169_freshman_and_transfer_applications_for_f&lt;/a&gt;
yeah, probably includes transfers also </p>

1913

<p>Even though I was waitlisted, I am not complaining. Its a weight off my shoulders. </p>

1914

<p>Waitlisted. 2250 SAT, really bad GPA, meh. Got into UCD, but I want to do pre-med…</p>

<p>How’s UCD pre-med in comparison to UCSD’s?</p>

1915

<p>Accepted into General Bio, ERC
GPA: 3.5 UW, 3.9 UC Weighted
SAT: 2060, SAT II Math 690
Average EC’s
Good essays (although after this college accepted me, they might’ve been better than I thought)</p>

<p>Was totally unexpected and a reach school</p>

1916

<p>@pandabearexpress: Huh. I wonder how many freshmen were admitted then.</p>

<p>And my guess is that UCSD’s accept rate will go down from the 2012 35% reported statistic (not like the university will create more space for freshmen just because there were more applicants). If UCLA doesn’t go any lower, then I sure hope that my UCSD acceptance will speak of something good about my UCLA admission :/</p>

<p>Who knows, maybe this year, UCSD is actually harder to get into than UCLA based off of acceptance rate. Probably not, but still possible.</p>

1917

<p>Accepted
Marshall College
Bioengineering
uw GPA: 4.0
UC GPA: no idea
SAT: 2290 (800m/760cr,730w)
SAT IIs: 800 Math II, 760 BioM, 730 Chem, 730 USH, 650 Span w/ list</p>

<p>Disappointed about no Regents; though my EC’s and essays would pull me the extra few yards. No complaints, bioengineering is stellar at UCSD. Already got accepted to UCLA for bioengineering. Fingers crossed for Berkeley, my number 1. </p>

1918

<p>Looks like I got rejected :stuck_out_tongue:
Guess I had to expect it. Good luck to everyone else!</p>

1919

<p>Rejected.</p>

1920

<p>S rejected. Good luck everyone! Too bad that UCSD had to drag it out like this all weekend. Hoping UCSB does not.</p>
