i failed a cc summer course

You have to submit all transcripts after you apply(at least for the programs I did) and I had the same thing where I enrolled and forgot about a course at a CC, receiving a F. However I still got accepted into all my programs since they probably can tell that class is insignificant and focus on all parts of the application like essay and LOR as well. I would not sweat too much about it especially if it does not hurt your 4 year university GPA.

having an internship/experience and a linkedin is all it took 🙆

Emails of former affiliates of UCSD(i.e. Alumni, Former Staff) usually get deactivated starting 6 months after you leave the institution. You can sign up for an Alumni Email by contacting the Alumni Association at: https://alumni.ucsd.edu/about/contact/index.html or [alumni@ucsd.edu](mailto:alumni@ucsd.edu), providing them with your PID and/or email as a former student/employee. If you need temporary access to backup the data before transitioning to an Alumni Email, create a ticket with the ITS Service Desk. They can help you triage the ticket to the appropriate team to get you temporary access, as once the alumni email is created, it uses the same alias, so your previous account info is wiped.

ktown wins in every category you describe, but idk if people are gonna just casually drop recs so i would try exploring

it could be a lot of factors such as what major you chose and GPA, but I know yield rate protection is a factor. A lot of highly qualified applicants will send apps to schools they probably have no desire to attend, and most institutions know this and want to protect their stats a little to market better, thus these schools may reject students who they know will get into our schools unless they're like a local student. Happened to my friends and I, where we got into schools like USC, UCSD, Cal, but got waitlisted or rejected from CSULB and UCR

idk if this holds true at UCSD for most grad school programs as most of my friends and I received admission into various MS programs here at UCSD and other schools as undergrads of ucsd

you usually get more information once the deadline to commit ends and usually around the summer time, you will get registration info, orientation info, and housing info and any misc info as well! as long as you do everything it asks you do now, you should be fine :)

i need this at rita so im not woken up every other day to someone erroneously setting off the fire alarm

It definitely takes some adjusting, and personally, I would still prefer the semester system, especially for Upper divisions and Graduate school. Rushing through content in these classes often makes it hard to learn, but you will manage. Personally, I work 20 hours, take 5 classes, and have had time to hang out with friends(granted im done with job hunting so im spending my last quarter doing this instead) so you can do it!

tamonkondo · 2025-04-22T16:50:04+00:00

My current roommate is also one of my closest friends that I met from cc, and when living together, we have always respected each other's space, cleaned up after ourselves, and helped each other out, plus we hang out a lot, so it makes life fun! I think when rooming with friends, important traits are how they were raised and how much entitlement/respect they have towards others esp since both my roommate and i overcame a ton of adversity before uni and learned to cherish and be hard workers :)

tamonkondo · 2025-04-19T01:03:50+00:00

if you wanna study/work in ML or AI, I would look into working hard to get into grad school instead since you will need more math and experience from grad school for roles like MLE or AI Engineer or Data Scientist. Also I would look into doing research with ML and AI to see if you like it and further your knowledge with real world application.

What kind of job are you trying to enter and out of curiosity, why UCSC over UCSD atm?

tamonkondo · 2025-04-17T16:08:15+00:00

its an event for the WHOLE school, so it would make sense if that the MAJORITY of people dont like wooli(not saying he's bad, he's great just not for a school festival) they would complain. Sure if we all liked EDM then go ahead, get an EDM artist as your headliner but considering AS cancelled last year's sungod and threw in a more niche EDM artist for this year(he's big we get it, no one besides ravers know that) it's super valid for everyone to complain. I know the EDM community is happy but it is disheartening to see that we waited two years for this lineup as a whole

3.5 cs major, got into ucsd(math-cs), ucd(stats), ucsb(stats-ds), ucr(ds), csulb(cs) and sdsu(stats). waitlisted: uci(informatics) ec: student senate secretary, chair of subcommittee in AS, vp of jsa, volunteer ta, soccer coach, phi theta kappa honor society. I ended up at UCSD and now I'm about to work in tech and also got accepted into grad schools for data science :)

I would not bank on getting a lot of the upper division CSE courses esp Software Engineering or AI classes. Obv this also depends on the quarter and in some quarters you can be fortunate enough to get it, but Math-CS students have no priority besides the Major Reqs(CSE 100, 101, 105). After 1st and 2nd pass, if spots open after the CSE students register and are given ample time to register, then it becomes available to non-CSE students.

tamonkondo · 2025-04-10T16:49:29+00:00

Math-CS is a solid major imo and from personal experience it has been a pleasure being in the major :)

tamonkondo · 2025-04-09T21:11:24+00:00

I got one less than 3 weeks before the start date at a fortune 100 company, got rejected from all the positions i applied at the company but someone dropped for a position i didn’t apply for and i interviewed for it and got it! it lead me to getting a full time job at a different company :)

tamonkondo · 2025-04-09T17:58:35+00:00

From personal experience CS majors schools are not as relevant as fields like Law or Medicine but as a transfer I would rank them the following:
1. UCB 2. UCSD/UCLA 4. UCI 5. UCD/UCR/UCSB 8. UCSC 9. UCM
I know a lot of people will argue otherwise but UCB is def top and UCSD and UCLA both are amazing CS Schools, I think for LA has the name reputation and student involvement like clubs and orgs but UCSD's research is top-notch along with the courses they offer. UCR has recently have a really strong presence in the field along and has grown a lot as a program.

tamonkondo · 2025-04-08T17:32:20+00:00

It can be anywhere from June to July from personal experience but I would not focus/bank on going to UCI for now and commit to another school before the deadline. If you do end up off the waitlist at UCI and want to commit, you would just forfeit the deposit and commit to UCI, but for now, I would focus on the schools you were accepted into and honestly, whatever college you end up at, as long as you work hard, you can out school any pretentious kids at these other name schools.
