<p>is it better to use the IGETC or the TAG program for transfer to UCSD?</p>
<p>I also forgot to ask if anyone recieved emails from UCLA. I haven’t recieved not one email from them and im starting to worry that they didn’t get my application.</p>
<p>tlu3013: have you checked here yet?

<p>congchuatram, IGETC or TAG? well, it all depends on how you look at it. TAG guarantees that you get into UCSD, but NOT into your major. IGETC does not guarantee you into UCSD, but if you get in, the chances of being accepted into your major’s program is high. TAG gets you in with a 2.8 though, with the college of your choice.</p>
<p>my opinion, TAG>IGETC because you can get into any quarter at SD and you still have a decent chance getting into your major.</p>
<p>Do you guys know if living near the UC that you want to transfer to has anything to do with the decision?</p>
<p>…lol we need a uc transfer 101 for these newbies :P</p>

<p>NOO im sure u’ll get in! and i haven’t heard anything from sb or davis yet.<br>
trust me, if i got into irvine with my stats, u will too. no worries!!</p>
<p>edit: besides, didnt u get into davis & sb?</p>
<p>Quick post before I pass out… too much good times in la.</p>
<p>I really liked ucla, it’s going to be really hard if I get into both, I almost wish either cal or la would reject me =P it’s funny to think I almost didn’t apply to la at all, I switched from uci a few minutes before i submitted my application.</p>
<p>I was really disappointed with UCSD and need more opinions. The central campus is really ugly, I hate eucalyptus trees. Everything going for the school didn’t apply to me. John Muir was beautiful but oh wait transfer students can’t live on campus. It’s a five minute walk from Muir to the beach, but again it’s not like I can walk back and take a shower. I was excited about going to Muir, to become an independent free-thinker and take new and exciting classes but IGETC covered that so I would be left trying to complete my 4 prereqs (calc X___x). Also the school seemed to be in the middle of no where (houses and hills), it was hard to imagine finding a place to live. And then I made the mistake of seeing sdsu in my free time, I LOVED it. Vibrant people, busy integrated college town, housing and dorms everywhere, and the people were very outgoing everything I needed to be happy outside of the classroom.</p>
<p>I’m not saying UCSD is a bad school, but I don’t feel they accommodate transfer students properly. I feel if I went there I’d end up commuting and not spending very much time on campus and that’s not what I want my college life to be.</p>
<p>(I’ll post pictures and write more when I get back home)</p>
<p>Cool, lets see them pix of UCSD when you get home</p>
<p>mellowcrazy,</p>
<p>If you get into UCLA, how are you going to possibly find housing off campus in Westwood? It is virtually impossible to find any available housing there. Or are you planning to get on campus housing at UCLA?</p>
<p>Btw, I heard the apartments near the UCSD campus are very expensive, something like $1700/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment.</p>

<p>post pix of UCLA…I can’t wait to go there! </p>
<p>Did you by any chance checked out thier gym? please describe.</p>
<p>i went to ucla to visit yesterday
it’s an allright campus…westwood is pretty chill.
i don’t think there was anything TOO special about the ucla campus…i’d give it 7.5 out of 10</p>

<p>mellowcrazy: I had very similar feelings re UCSD vs. SDSU.</p>
<p>Still waiting on UCSD, UCLA, and UCSB…</p>
<p>I hate how SIRs and deposits for SDSU are due by May 1st! and decisions for USC don’t come out until June! and I still don’t know about my UCs (and those SIRs are due by June 1st, when I STILL won’t know about SC!)…I’m not even going to get into NY decisions…!..which means that I have to put a deposit down for somewhere that I might not even go to!! (if that was confusing…sorry…my fault for applying to sooo many schools! haha)</p>
<p>right now, I have to choose between SDSU, U of Hawaii, or Hawaii Pacific, just because everywhere else is “Pending” til who knows when… :(</p>
<p>and now that people are saying that UCSD does not have as great as a “feeling” as SDSU, I’m kinda scared…most parents/some of you still agree that SDSU is a HUGE party school, where students are not taken as seriously in the professional world compared to students from UCSD, right?</p>
<p>no, i go to Mesa College</p>
