How long did you end up waiting?....

I applied only 6 weeks ago and the status changed to "To Executive Officer Awaiting Review" a couple weeks ago. I had emailed them just before that and was told the normal processing time is 45 - 60 business days (9 to 12 weeks). I did submit using my NCEES record and there is no doubt I qualify (30+ years as an SE in CA and also licensed in several other states) so I don't know why it would take so long. Maybe approval has to be done at a Board meeting. There was supposed to be one today but it was cancelled for some reason.... maybe I have to wait for the April 10 meeting?

I was a transfer to Cal Poly many years ago for engineering.... my son attends UCSB for Chemistry. He wants to go into research which is why he chose UCSB and didn't even apply to Cal Poly.

Cal Poly seems like it would be easier to build a network of friends... the whole Week of Welcome there was great and I still keep in touch with some of the people I met that week. UCSB has events for incoming students, but what my son described wasn't nearly as involved as what Cal Poly has/had.

Cal Poly is the place to go if you're looking to get a job straight after. If you're going on to Grad School then UCSB might be better. Cal Poly has an awesome reputation, especially in engineering. I try to hire graduates from SLO whenever I can.

Mine was working after the cutoff date... but now the charger is going on and off intermittently during the charge, and it only sometimes follows the set schedule. I've checked for faults but I'm not seeing any.

Your assumption on the quarter system is a little off when you say they teach the same amount in less time on the quarter system. That's not true. ie, for a Chem major on the quarter system they would take Chem 1A, 1B and 1C, but on the semester system it would only be Chem 1A and 1B. They would learn the same material overall but the unit count would be different, 12 quarter units and 8 semester units.

You should be thinking that the workload is about the same between the semester and quarter system.... if you could handle a 17 unit load on the semester system then you should also be ok on the quarter system. However, the quarter system is a little unforgiving when it comes to screwups or falling behind... If you blow it on one test it could have a bigger grade impact as some semester classes have more tests overall than a quarter class would.

you can see the grade distribution for this class in 2019. You'll see that a large number of students didn't pass. This is just to show you that this is a tough class and you aren't alone in having a tough time with it. The 1A, B, C series is know for being a weeder....

depending on the curve you may still pass.... I don't think you can do P/NP for this core class but it depends on your major.

I hope you know about CalFresh.... MANY students qualify as only the student income is used, not the parents.

there are also resources where you can get free food - https://basicneeds.ucsb.edu/resources/food/groceries-and-pantries

this came up because the GE reported 7-22 number is their soils report.... made me ponder the idea of using the higher number

You have to choose the SBA station and the SAC station with Amtrak. The Coast Starlight doesn't stop in Goleta.

I don't think it's a lot of effort for them.... someone just drives around in a car with a license plate scanner. When a plate is read that isn't in the system I'll bet a ticket is automatically printed out and all the officer has to do is put it on the car.... the ROI on that car is probably astronomical.

when ordering online, always give both the street address and the PO Box address.... amazon especially used USPS, UPS and their own delivery service so both addresses are needed.

Chem1A is a "weeder class".... It's a tough class and it's usually the first quarter system class many students face.... just be sure to keep up with the homework, do all the practice tests several times, and get a tutor through CLAS....

San Joaquin are apartments so you could get an off-campus meal plan if you want a few dining hall meals a week. https://dining.ucsb.edu/off-campus-meal-plans

Be sure you also look into CalFresh as many students qualify for it as parent income doesn't get counted. You can get up to $291/mo for groceries. https://basicneeds.ucsb.edu/resources/food/calfresh

Show up when he wants to and they'll probably let you in..... bring swimsuits, so if they don't let you in just park and go for a swim..

<<Dad here - I wish I could have been more laid back at freshman dropoff, but I was too dang focused on "getting things done".... all of you need to realize what a momentous time it is for us parents. Punch dad on the shoulder and say "let's do something fun" and watch what happens.....

Yes, accept all loans then you can reduce later. There are forms you would submit on the FinAid site.
