UCSD Winter 2010 Transfers

<p>I guess I won’t send the transcripts from the HK high school I attended unless they ask me to… but I have subimtted my local HS transcript…arent we supposed to send them HS transcript?? </p>

<p>BTW, anyone knows if there’ll be orientation for transfer students? I just talked with my CC counselor this morning and he said I’d better attend an orientation to find out what classes to take as well as the EXACT registration procedure…Honestly I still have absolutely no idea what classes to take ?!! (Majoring in Econ.)</p>

<p>Yes… i’m not sure if it’s for Sixth college students only or what but I did see somewhere on the myapplication site that they have a dorm for transfer students (sorry I didn’t pay much attention to it coz I live in SD so i don’t need to worry abt housing )</p>

<p>does anyone know if you can switch majors?</p>

<p>feelhopeless: Which school did you get into ?
I am majoring in Econ as well.
We may help each other out before transfering… BTW, you from HK?

<p>Just a note to anyone planning on seeking off campus housing:</p>

<p>DO NOT ever rent an apartment that has people living above you. You will regret it dearly. Also, don’t rent an apartment facing a busy street.</p>

<p>Hopefully I can spare a few people from making these bad renting mistakes!</p>

<p>feelhopeless: Let me know how the transcript situation works out for you since I have the same circumstances. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Hey tekierz:</p>

<p>Just called in today to the Village after receiving an e-mail from them stating that they had spaces available for transfer students:</p>

<p>0/12/09</p>

<p>Attention Winter Transfer students! We’ve got space @ The Village! Take action now!</p>

<p>Dear Joshua Preston,</p>

<p>We noticed you are on our Waitlist for Winter quarter. Good news! We have a space available at The Village!</p>

<p>The Village at Torrey Pines is the newest, most luxurious on-campus housing that UCSD has to offer. All of our beautiful rooms come fully furnished, include all utilities, and come with the basic Meal Plan. Our community also offers a bookstore, caf</p>

<p>For those that went for off-campus housing, how long did it take you to find a suitable place? What are the price ranges?</p>

<p>new peeps</p>

<p>prezpreston I might also be living in the Village. What rate did you get for your room? Is it a double or single?</p>

<p>Question. Is “The Village” the ONLY housing available for on-campus housing? It’s kinda expensive, but I can understand because its new. Is it worth it to live there for 6 months since the contract last that long or is out of campus a better choice? I really want to know my financial aid before committing myself on choosing where I live, but by then it might be too late…</p>

<p>Oh, and if anyones looking for out-of-campus housing here’s the housing classifieds from the UCSD “The Guardian”.</p>

<p>[University</a> of California - San Diego Housing](<a href=“http://ucsdguardian.campusave.com/housing.aspx]University”>http://ucsdguardian.campusave.com/housing.aspx)</p>

<p>We won’t be notified of our financial aid until December…check your Finances tab under TritonLink and look for winter students information. </p>

<p>$1,393.50 a month for a double on the top floor of the high rise with an ocean view. Woohoo! (meal plan included). </p>

<p>@raliem:</p>

<p>I believe that there might be more housing on campus, but I don’t know if any will be open.</p>

<p>nightmare_hk:</p>

<p>HOHO! what a conincident!
HK-er majoring in Economics??? Where are u right now? You’re gonna live on campus?
I’m from the Southern District by the way, where are u from? ^_^</p>

<p>Jason:</p>

<p>I added u on facebook :stuck_out_tongue: Glad to know sb who has the same major AND transfers at the same time~! (I got into Sixth College-- not my frist choice probably)</p>

<p>MrRevelle:</p>

<p>Today I went to the evaluation office of the CC i’m attending to have the foreign language requirement cleared ( coz you must prove that you have at least two years of foreign language education during HS ), at first the evaluated insisted to see my “official transcript” issued by the foreign school I attended, but after she looked at my US high school transcript she said just the local one would be fine. (what a relief!)</p>

<p>I finally received reply from UCSD regarding the transcripts and the rep. said “All college transcripts need to be in by October 21st. Please plan to send in your high school transcripts as soon as you are able to.”
So my plan is to submit my local HS transcript as well as other required certificates/college transcripts, and file request for the overseas HS transcript, but have it sent to my home instead of directly to UCSD. If they look at the all the transcripts I sent and are satisfied (like the evaluater at my school), that’s great, if not, I suppose they’ll ask me to send the rest.
It’s always good to get prepared. (It can easily take weeks to process!)
Not sure if it’ll work, just wanna let u know what I plan on doing :stuck_out_tongue:
Just curious why they wanna see transfer students’ high school transcripts? (isn’t the IGETC certificate enough to clear all pre-college requirements?)</p>

<p>Feelhopeless:</p>

<p>Ohh ok, thanks for the reply. 'Cause I took my two years of spanish here and also the American history requirement so I hope that’s good. I’m applying for Fall '10 so I just wanted to be prepared and I’ll probably do the same thing you’re doing. Tomorrow a rep from UCSD is gonna be on campus so I’ll ask him/her as well. Let me know how it works out for you. Good luck! =)</p>

I’m still struggling whether to live on campus or not… A 6-month contract is a bit too long for me. What about you guys?</p>

<p>I don’t know about you guys but I want to live in a single at the village if possible. I would like the dorm experience without the roommate lol. But if I can’t get a single I might possibly get an apartment. I like my personal space. haha</p>
