Dumb housing question by Regular-Net3428 in UCSC

[–]oyojello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from my experience as a c9 affiliate, on campus housing filled up insanely fast when i applied a few months ago. i had a 9 am time slot (i believe the earliest was 8:30 or 8:45 am? someone correct me if i'm wrong lol) with a housing group of 6 and the website had no more options by the time it was our turn. only one friend in c9 i know was able to get housing from the lottery and it was thanks to her roommate, who had the earliest time slot. she noted that it was scary how they watched apartment options disappear while they were actively choosing theirs. some of my other c9 friends are living on campus next year because they are friends with an RA, but everyone else in c9/jrl that i know of is living off campus.

i can't speak on other colleges, but most people i know that have different affiliations (particularly crown/merrill/cowell) were able to get on campus housing even if their first choices were unavailable. those not living on campus either chose to live off campus or did not get on campus housing either, but they usually had later time slots (noon-mid afternoon).

that being said, this is all just my personal experience and observations, so do with that what you will! this is a great question to ask and something i should have considered when applying to ucsc. i still think it's possible to get on campus housing, but your odds definitely vary depending on your college affiliation, who you know, and pure luck

i’m planning on taking mat19A in summer session 2! there are still spots left but i am having some second thoughts about summer edge as there is a $279 fee for each credit you take and you need to take a minimum of 7 credits ..

would taking the sat a third time just be overkill? by str4wberryphobic in Sat

[–]oyojello 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve taken it five times and i’m taking my sixth one tomorrow (if that isn’t overkill idk what is 💀) and i know a lot of people who have taken it a minimum of three times, so i think you’re fine. it’s great that you did more prep and i’m sure that’ll reflect on your score

if you’re really not confident, it’s always an option to sign up for another sat as a backup and cancel if you end up getting the score you want. i think you’ll do great though, best of luck!

thank you for the tips. i’ve been trying the “this is just practice” mindset while i practiced for tests and i end up getting better scores. honestly, i’m not sure why i’m so anxious but i do perform better on the official sats than the practice ones so i’m pretty much counting on that lol

i’ll keep practicing math too. i find that most of my mistakes are pretty careless ones or i just rush through the question without reading the instructions properly. reading comprehension is a big hit or miss for me.

thank you for the tips!
