<p>Shyuan, Thumbs up !</p>
<p>wow I like the direction this thread is heading. can we not please. thanks
please take the argument to the winter 2010 ucsd or ucsc thread.</p>
<p>so what’s next? everyone turn in their SIR’s?
I think housing might be a problem for most of the transfer students.</p>
<p>and anyone else a comm major? i’m sure it would be nice if everyone just started getting connected instead of arguing. the facebook group page seems a little quiet as well.</p>
<p>Yeah, housing will be a pain in a donkey to find especially since we’re winter transfers. Doubles in The Village costs around $1200-$1300 per month, though I have to deal with the current situation soon…</p>
<p>Ttocsco, alas i’m a bioengineering major and not a communication major, but if you need help in your math, physics, or chemistry homework i’ll be more than happy to help you :P</p>
<p>Oh, and if anyones interested I found a UCSD Financial Aid estimator for current undergraduate, dependent, California resident students living in on-campus residence halls. Its for the 2008-2009 year so its a bit outdated but its nice to know its out there:</p>
<p>[Financial</a> Aid Estimator for the Univeristy of California, San Diego - Main](<a href=“http://finaid3.ucsd.edu/faocalc/]Financial”>http://finaid3.ucsd.edu/faocalc/)</p>
<p>i am communications major. staying off campus; 5 min shuttle ride away.</p>
<p>Lune: You get free shuttle rides, yeah?</p>
<p>yeah, the shuttle is just public transit; some lines are free for ucsd students</p>
<p>Anyone else plan not to send in high school transcripts for whatever reasons? I’m kind of worried… :(</p>
<p>I applied for fall but got in for the winter. UCSD does ask for your high school transcript. I had to send mine in</p>
<p>Like some other members here, I went to an overseas high school and it would be a pain to have them send transcripts here. :(</p>
<p>BTW, any Muirs know when is the orientation going to be?</p>
<p>Can we send them our foreign high school transcript or the high school should send them one ?</p>
<p>I am afraid the high school should send them one ! that would be too much pain in the … ! lol</p>
<p>everyone relax!!!
this is supposed to be a peaceful discussion.
I am probably going to go to UCSD ,not because prestige, but because i live in orange county and it will be an easy transition for me because it is much closer than ucsc. I aslo have a step sister in san diego as well. I love the transfer housing at ucsd to because i will be among student like myself.
I will be driving up to santa cruz to take a tour and check it out to make sure i can live without the location and chill student body.
I have been doing alot of research and there is really no concrete answers to most of the items discussed on here. From my research prestige in undergrad does not matter your gpa does. Graduate school does matter and that is what most of the rankings are based on. Also, ucsc is very focused on there undergrad student more than most universities especially more than ucsd. UCSC has th 420 rep. which does look bad to potential employers.
According to PAYSCALE.COM
the salaries graduating from both schools have only a 15k difference per year .The difference can probably be accounted for because ucsc has more art majors and ucsd has more sciecne/med majors. So based on the salray info i would say it does not matter which school you graduate form.</p>
<p>to answer some questions
your finacial aid i believe is estimated for you in your ucsd email acount which no one will recieve until after oct21
you can view the status of our transcripts on the myapplication site after you submit your SIR it is on the from page,you can also email the transcript poeple to check the email is on the same page.
I am 83 percent sure on UCSD for practicality reasons unless ucsc really wows me when i visit.</p>
<p>excuse my spelling/grammer</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of a good interviewer “auto-hiring” an applicant based on the school on their diploma and then wasting valuable resources while they wait to see if that applicant screws up on the job before firing them. A great school can be a valuable asset in employment/grad school because it has the potential to assist you in demonstrating the rigor of your course work, the critical thinking skills that might have been stressed more in your program, the experience you had working on complex projects, and because it assists you in obtaining internships that others might not have had as much access to. If you don’t work just as hard at the guy from the less prestigious school it’ll catch up to you eventually in your career and the harder-working guy will pass you up. Ink on paper is only a decent shield for so long.</p>

<p>Treverp, sounds like you’re doing a good amount of research, and I’m confident that whichever decision you end up making will be the right thing for you, and that’s what matters the most. Let us know how it goes!! :)</p>
<p>raleim I called FinAid and they said that no information is updated for winter admits yet, we should check back in a month or so.
nightmare_hk I’m not senidng in my hs transcripts !</p>
<p>I called UCSD and each person I talked to gave me different answers! The first person I talked to said that sending in high school transcripts was an absolute requirement. This same person also gave me the wrong address to mail my transcripts to. The second person told me that high school transcripts are required. Finally, I talked to an admissions officer and she said that they would like to have transcripts, but it is not a requirement. She did say, however, that they need to see them by the time you graduate because of some kind of American history requirement. This doesn’t really make sense to me because then that would technically disqualify students who did not go to high school in the US…</p>
<p>JuneBug86: The American history requirement can be satisfied if you took it here in high school but you can also a class at a CC or when you transfer to fulfill it.</p>
<p>I saw on fb that some people got offered transfer housing…anyone on here get similar news?</p>
<p>I called today 4 times, I talked 3 persons and an admission advisor and they all said that sending my HS transcript is MANDATORY even if it would be sent after the due date. However, you should talk to an admission advisor to leave a note on your account that you would send it late or it may be received after the due date. PLEASE send it, it wouldn’t take that much work. My high school is in a foreign country and I would do everything possible to get it.</p>
<p>how do we know if they received out IGETC cert? I dont see any place on myapp that tells us?!</p>
