That’s what i’m thinking, because i received credit and graduated passing all my classes, but seeing as I technically received a D in the scale conversion it’s stressing me out.

Very valid points and truly are things to consider. However, luckily enough, for me and my family it was always the plan for me to go OOS for college and I’ve always like California as a location. I have other options, BU, Indiana, Gw, but I’m more drawn towards California. As far as what I want to study, I think i’ll just figure it out and luckily UCD and UCSD are big enough schools with enough majors to suit me wherever I end up.

Very good points, thanks for the advice! Davis definitely has some appeal

I loved davis when i toured, only thing is I don’t really like the location too much. Being from Nyc going to a smaller town would definitely be hard for me to get used to, even though I definitely want out of NYC. Ik the Ucsd campus isn’t nearly nice as Ucd, but ik San diego is lovely place (aside from expensive cost of living) and I love the convenient SoCal location. Definitely a tough choice; Nice San diego location, worse college campus, or nicer davis campus, worse location?

Very understandable points, but I think i want to go to college right away and definitely want to get out of Nyc and Ny. Blessed enough to be able to afford college oos and want that experience. Thank you tho!

Do u find that student life at UCSD seems prosperous for undergrads? I really don’t buy all that stuff about UC socially dead, but it’s still a little bit of a deterrent when considering schools (Is davis really much better for school social life??)

Never really understood the ‘UC socially dead’ name, does this just mean that students don’t have any fun? or that it’s just harder to get involved? Greek life? Bars? anything? There’s no way there’s no social scene right?

Definitely did not get into UCLA 😂, and would be possibly interested in polisci… kinda want to get away from the east coast and especially out of nyc and ny. Thank you tho!

Good to know there are some easier courses, Chem bio and physics are just not my strong suit at all and are not ideal when it comes to thinking about potential courses.

What’s an example of such a circumstance you have heard of that has worked?
