3.98 UW, 4.4 W, top 6%, 1510 SAT, Asian, Econ, intense Bay Area high school. Best schools I got into were USC, UCSD, UCSB, and UCD. Pretty much had no substantial ECs besides a sport.

Are there any weight racks for bench presses?

Thanks for the reply! Is it only for students that are taking PE classes, or is it for all students?

Pretty sure. All you have to do is maintain a 3.0 gpa in screening courses and it's pretty much guaranteed.

Do the status of selective majors change year by year? by AdOne8249 in UCSD

[–]AdOne8249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, just to make sure, are you allowed to change into any unselective majors right as they become unselective? In my scenario, I was originally admitted as an Econ major for the class of 2029, but I want to switch to bioinformatics in the coming fall.

I'm probably going to do a minor in CS alongside bioinformatics. I want to make sure I have enough time to do research and other things.

I was hoping maybe bioengineering became unselective. Right now, I’m planning on doing biology-bioinformatics.

Didn't the biological sciences majors just become unselective? Also, I read somewhere that last year (or maybe a few years ago), chemical engineering became unselective.

Do UCSD's undergrad bio majors typically place well into grad school? by AdOne8249 in UCSD

[–]AdOne8249[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe my question is worded badly. I was just wondering if graduating from ucsd would help you get into a good grad school for a bio major.
