This was so freaking helpful! I love satire, Better Call Saul, and the Petscop feature had me doing the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the screen meme lol. I'm hoping to transfer to UCSD for CS next Fall, but I had no idea where to start or whether it would be worth it. You should def make more videos--you've obviously got a ton of personality haha.

It's mentioned somewhere that 7th has moved into old 6th housing... and that it's 'not good'. Do you know anything about this? Also, on your rankings, you have Warren/Marshall/Seventh on same level. Any further info you can provide as to what preferences might be within that ranking? Thank you! Great video!
@jayklmao
@jayklmao Жыл бұрын
7th has its own housing!! it’s at the very north of campus. the old 6th housing has recently been demolished lol, there’s nothing over there now. as for warren/marshall/seventh, i ranked them all near the same level because i wasn’t confident in saying there was a significant enough difference between them to rank them differently. i’m not totally familiar with their GE’s, but i think seventh and marshall probably rank slightly above warren. but it really depends on what credits you have coming in and what overlaps with your major. the ge’s are all online, so definitely check those out if you’re so inclined. as for location, warren

Hi amazingly helpful thanks! Wanted to ask how hard is it to switch majors to a capped major for eg business economics to data science. Is it possible and how tough is it?It wont become like the situation for switching to the CS major will it?
@jayklmao
@jayklmao 8 ай бұрын
quite late but in case you and others see this, googling "switching to data science ucsd" gets you to this: datascience.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/capped-major-application/ basically, you need to apply to the data science major after taking certain prereqs, and you are ranked based on your GPA for those prereqs. after that, it's a game of chance. it is possible to switch into data science, unlike computer science, but it's still not guaranteed that you'll get in even if you get a perfect gpa on the prereqs. so if you really want to do data science and you weren't accepted for the major here, that's definitely something to think about

thank you for the video! how close are biology/science classes from the sixth college?
@jayklmao
@jayklmao Жыл бұрын
i actually haven’t taken a single bio or science class (cs doesn’t count right lol) since i’ve been here, but from what i can tell from webreg (the course offerings for this quarter) it’s probably At Most 10-12 min from sixth to any lecture hall you’ll need to go to. sixth is in a pretty optimal location. the furthest classes in general will be in warren or in pepper canyon (old sixth), which take around 15 min to walk to, but looking at BILD (bio) courses for this quarter, they seem to all be on the west-south side of campus (sixth, muir, revelle) or in center hall (on library walk). sixth is south enough that it’s not that far from revelle or center hall.

hi! i’m an incoming transfer and just found out that transfers live in a separate housing area (rita and pepper???) do u know if it is at ALL possible to live on the college campus that u got admitted to (sixth college specifically)? and if it’s not possible have u heard anything about how that housing is? thank you.
@jayklmao
@jayklmao Жыл бұрын
hey!! i think that's only possible if your specific college is sixth and transfer housing fills up for some reason. i've heard of transfers also being overflowed to seventh. afaik rita atkinson is nicer but in a worse location and pepper canyon is less nice but in a better location (it's right next to the trolley)

@alightening808
@alightening808 11 ай бұрын
Hi! You rank your preferences for the colleges on your UC application, so it’s on the application you submit to UCSD. If you’re accepted, you’ll be assigned to a college based on your ranking. You can’t switch colleges easily as far as i know. Your major has no relation to your college, but some colleges are more suited for some major just based on how compatible the GEs are. Your college doesn’t affect your chances of getting admitted, and neither should your major as long as you have a backup uncapped major they can accept you under. (I’m incoming to UCSD)

eighth college is new this year and iirc there hasn't been a lot of info posted about it yet. it's located south of revelle, so at the very very bottom. i think someone on the ucsd subreddit was talking about how they aren't sure what the ge's are. i assume they'll be alright though! new dorms will be cool.

i would say so! sixth’s ge’s are pretty good for any major as far as i know. sixth ge’s only require one math course, which doesn’t have to be calculus. sixth also requires one statistics course. googling ge’s right now, looks like seventh doesn’t even specify wanting a math course. some other colleges let you choose between math and some kind of science. definitely double check what the requirements are for each college

Hello I got accepted to marshall college for human bio to go premed, how hard would it be to switch to john muir?
@jayklmao
@jayklmao Жыл бұрын
i don't think muir accepts inter-college transfers, sadly (look up inter-college transfers ucsd). switching colleges once you're admitted is also pretty uncommon. i think you have to prove that doing so would make you graduate at least two quarters earlier. it might not be worth the effort. marshall is also relatively pretty good and i know a few premed people in marshall, so i don't think you have to worry.

at most 10-15 minutes (to the CSE building and warren lecture hall), but recently more CS classes have lecture closer to sixth or even in sixth (mosaic, the jeannie, etc). i'd say 1/3 of my CS classes were in warren, and the rest were closer. 👍

it is possible to switch colleges but only if switching colleges would allow you to graduate two quarters earlier. also, you can't switch into Muir or Eighth. i suggest mapping out your four-year plan and seeing if switching out of ERC would make it easier to graduate. schedule a meeting with your advisor or send a message on VAC!
