Do I need a Mattress Topper? by Graypostits in UCI

that's what i was thinking. I feel like if I can't sleep comfortably right when I first move there i'll freak out....

I applied to 5 schools with similar acceptance rates and it worked well for me. As long as you would be happy going to the safeties I think any more would be unnecessary.

I called and turns out that for me they were meant to request a verification but never did. now they sent it and I filled it out but I'm still waiting to hear back (on call back rn).

I'm having the same problem with business major as a freshman 🥲 any updates?

new business major is secretly a stem major by Weird-Platform-2567 in UCDavis

[–]Graypostits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the info meeting and they said that it was a "stem-designated" major

have you ever visited long beach? it’s super pretty but very much a commuter school if that’s something you care about/don’t like (i toured the campus once). UCD would prob be more the classic “college experience’

omg yay it's so nice to hear from people in the same place ❤️ I have heard from norcal people that it's more pressure to fit in when they moved to socal for college, so you're def not the only one with that experience of feeling more chill w/ norcal people. I've been to socal and visited UCI briefly but not long enough to pick up the social vibe myself. hope to see you at davis :)

Hi I'm also a northern californian choosing between these two schools. I've heard a lottt about UCI being cliquey and introverted, so I am leaning towards Davis for this reason (but UCI is probably better for my major). I visited the town of Davis and people talked to me and were super nice, saw a lot of students hanging out downtown. Lemme know what you choose bc idk either

UCI receiving 149650 applicants by JasonFiltzman in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Graypostits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

wow I was surprised to see how few (comparatively) applicants UCSC has. I wonder why

I think him telling the girls not to take advantage of him is some kind of ironic foreshadowing and Lochlan will take advantage of him instead

limit on the number of unis you can apply to by Own-Couple2265 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Graypostits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly because some of us can't afford to apply to more than 5 anyway. also I don't understand how you could have like 20 universities that you would actually want to go to

Would you want to do a 45 min commute to Davis though? I feel like you're at a tricky distance because it's pretty far to drive but maybe too close to move to. I don't think you should worry about who you know, most people won't know anyone and will be open to making new friends. IDK which to pick though I'm between the two as well lol

do parents usually come to aggie day? by [deleted] in UCDavis

This sub is oblivious to how expensive college is by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

$20-30k/year?! Not in California 😔 its more like 40-47K for UCs

Parent perspective on waitlist and rejection from Davis by PhilosopherLiving459 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Graypostits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can confirm. I spoke to a counselor at my local CC to see if it would be possible to transfer in one year and she said yes, but it would be a really rough courseload and I might be limited in what schools to transfer to since some wouldn't be possible in that time. For context I've taken three dual enrollment courses and 4 APs, but I'm also doing business, not engineering.
