Thank you for sharing your info.
There’s a guy on the forum claimed that the UC Engineering prefer to accept males over females.
I am just trying to find out if that’s the case.
Rejected at UCSD but accepted at Berkeley! This year’s decisions have been so weird.
Accepted at SD for Economics and at Cal for Environmental Economics & Policy. Does anyone have words of wisdom? I can’t decide where to go :c I’m very interested in EE&P and Environmental Engineering, but I feel like I won’t get a job as an EE&P major and Cal only offers Environmental Engineering as a minor. Is Econ at SD a safer bet?
does anyone want to start a roomate group chat for biology?
Go with your gut brother. The world could do with some more impassioned environmental activists. When in doubt listen to the sunscreen song. No jokes.
has anyone received their admit packs?
can someones who’s received the admit pack upload a picture of the UCSD badge coz I really want to have a look at it
@Caramel101 and @10s4life I got mine a few weeks ago, but I remeber it iwas attached to the big poster with stickers they gave us. It’s a blue/purple/yellow triangle that says Triton Day 4-9-16 on it.
are you guys in SD or CA? Has anyone whos international got theirs yet?
@Caramel101 I live in SD county. I got mine like a week or two ago.
I live in SD county but still haven’t gotten the packet yet… Anyone didn’t get it either??
@Dawg619 have you signed your SIR with SD or do you get the pack regardless of the decision you make?
@Dawg619 have you received anything from Davis or Irvine yet
@Caramel101 No I didn’t get anything from Davis. I did not apply to Irvine. Yes, I already submitted my SIR, but I am pretty sure each admitted student gets the packet no matter what.
I recieved the admit packet a while ago but no Triton Day badge

Triton Day badge looks like a sticker, in fact it is a sticker you will stick to your shirt on Triton Day. Triangle shaped, TRITON DAY on top, picture of palm trees in the middle, very colorful. Don’t look for a traditional badge, like a button or one of those lanyard things. @Elemelon @10s4life
Thanks @TwinMama1998
It’s on the sticker sheet im guessing.
Driving to SDSU and UCSD on Wednesday and Saturday respectively will definitely tire me out haha.
