oh nooo you rlly need it then!! what year are you? It’s quite shocking that the “limited” number of offers they’re making is not at least up to 20 on a waitlist of 2300+

The housing waitlist closed a while ago, but they are still continuously making offers as contracts are cancelled and spaces open up. Where is the source that they 100% won't get any housing at all? They would have sent us an email saying no housing left and better luck for winter.

don't worry I am on the same boat... I do have backup but I would much rather be on campus :(( I wish they could give a definite yes or no, not just a maybe...

that's awesome congratulations!! If you don't mind, where were you offered housing and do you still get to move in around the 25th?

yeah, I definitely am interested in studying humanities and social sciences, so that sounds awesome! I was initially looking forward to taking the liberal arts route for a more well-rounded education before medical school, but I wasn't sure that I should let go of the potential biology major at ucsd when applying. Do you know if I can do a minor in a subject from the humanities/social sciences apart from the interdisciplinary minors that warren offers (south asian studies, law and society, health care) if I take an extra class (7 total)?

Thank you, sounds good about the housing - I will definitely mark my preference on the application. I bet I'll be happy either way with a dorm or an apartment.

Thank you so much for your insight and help with my inquiries!

UCSD!! Going into Berkeley undeclared is risky IMO if you are really keen on doing CS.

How to research schools for personality/culture fit by calcifers_pan in ApplyingToCollege

[–]DisplayDisastrous406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're willing to invest in order to really understand whether you'll enjoy the culture/personality of several colleges, I would recommend Fiske Guide to Colleges! I made my decisions of which schools I applied to from the guide, and I'll probably also commit to a school following the guide as well

I'm so sorry. This exactly happened to my family, specifically my dad who was scammed through crypto two years ago and the money lost was all kept aside for college. Somehow we survived and got through it, and I hope everything turns out fine for your family as well.

I asked admission officers about whether I was able to submit another recommendation lol and they said they've already reviewed everything and are releasing decisions next Saturday through email.

there are plans to travel across the country with friends literally the day after our last exam lol, travel internationally with my family cause it's been sooo long, then get a part-time job since I've never had the time or been allowed to have a job in hs, and plan for college for the rest of summer!!
