so helpful!! got admitted into ucsd for sixth and I literally didn't remember what my ranking was when i applied 😭
Same!!
uc san diego is my dream school and ill be applying for fall 2025! thanks so much this is so helpful!!
Informative and Great Video👌
great video shreya!
Great video, I wanted to ask though if it would be possible to additionally rank the colleges based on housing? I heard housing is potentially a huge problem in UCSD and i feel like it could affect one's rankings subsequently.
good question! I would say that housing isn't the biggest issue at UCSD especially because you only live on campus for like 2 years (subject to change). However if you are trying to rank by housing I would put:
Sixth
Seventh
Eighth
This is in mind of location as well! If you don't care about location, then flip the ranking since its from newest to oldest then. The rest of the housing is pretty ehhh in that order doesn't matter too much just on housing alone.
tysm. got accepted into eighth college and your info is very useful! went undeclared but hoping for comp sci @@shreyanagu
Thank you sm! UCSD is my dream school and u helped me sm so thank, BTW I have a question.
I didn’t understand, do we have to do a test to get into those colleges like “marshel” or we just can try to choose it?
hiii! luckily there is no exam/test to get into a particular college. on the uc application for UCSD there is a drop down menu for the ordering you would like to have the colleges in. from there, it is luck and ur ordering that control what college you get placed in! good luck on your application! u got this!
Thank you for the info!!! Really helpful 🫶🫶🫶.
Great video!!!
Also got in Marshall college for math cs. How would you rate the math cs major? Still debating whether I should commit to ucsd or not for this very reason. Any advice would be appreciated :)
congrats on your acceptance! Humm its pretty hard to answer this question because everyone has different experiences with the major- I personally enjoy math/cs cause it lines up with what I am interested in. I would highly recommend you take a look at the classes you will be required to take as a MathCS major and compare it to coursework for your preferred major!
Do you have any advice on transfer housing? I’m a cs transfer admit
I want to major in neurobiology or alternatively cogsci with an emphasis on neuroscience as a premed, do you think marshall would be a good fit? or should i pick warren as a first pick because im in stem? thanks!
hey great question! i personally would say DONT CHOSE WARREN. Warren is really great for engineering/CS majors due to location, GEs, etc however bio-esque fields its ehhhh. I think marshall would be a great fit and I know a ton of bio/cog sci/neurobio majors in marshall! Still, I would put Sixth, Muir, Marshall as ur top choices!
@@shreyanagu oh thank you so much!!!
i’m in cogsci and i think if you live off campus seventh is the best choice because our ges are easy and many of them overlap with major requirements, and our writing sequence is 3 classes that are contract grading (meaning if you do your work you will get an A) which allows you to enjoy the class and learn rather than stress on your writing!
Hello! I got into UCSD in Revelle and quite devastated. I’m a visual arts major and plan on switching my major from studio arts to ICAM program which I think includes some computer science or programming courses. As a visual arts student I just overall suck and hate math and science. I feel like I can endure Revelle but I don’t know first hand. What do you think I should do? Should I go to UCSD or not? I have other schools in mind and I feel like I would struggle in UCSD but I’m only considering it because I think my new major would support me in the future, I would just need to endure the hard GEDS. Thank you!
hi hi! congrats on getting into UCSD! firstly i would say watch the video i have on revelle college (i promise this is more than just a shameless plug). perhaps listening to a first hand account of a student in revelle college can change your perspective! it's hard for me to tell you how "hard" revelle courses since its all very relative but i do want to say that there is SO MUCH support at UCSD. there are plenty of free tutoring services and profs and TA are so welcoming to questions/concerns. hopefully this helps in your decision making process and lmk if you have any questions about this!
I am an international student and I applied to ucsd with no actual thinking of colleges and I heavily regret it😞😞 I got into Muir which was my first option and I am an Econ major! Do you think I can change that and can you talk more abt like how the living situation actually is, I heard that freshmen have to live in residence halls can you explain what that actually is like do students live in one floor with a kitchen and a bathroom and how is the privacy! Also another question is does the prices differ a lot between colleges? Thank you so much for this insightful video I would say it’s the best video out here on CZcams explaining the colleges!!❤❤
congrats on getting accepted to ucsd! Muir college is a wonderful college with one of the best locations, dining halls, decent ges, and more so I wouldn't be worried in the slightest about that! Unforuntately, muir is the only college that I don't have any friends in so I can't say much about the living situation there but when I lived in sixth college I got a kitchen for the floor (40 people share the kitchen). You are so right in saying that most freshmen live in res halls that don't come with a kitchen (only apartments come with a kitchen). At least in Sixth, the living situation was 10 girls with two showers and 4 sinks and the privacy was pretty wonderful since some unis have like 5 bathrooms for like 20 people. Housekeeping comes twice a week to maintain everything too! I live in Marshall now with 6 girls and 1 shower and two sinks which isn't terrible either. As for your last question about pricing- there are no price differences among the colleges! Price difference will come with the type of room you select- single, double, and triple where singles are the most expensive and triples are the least.
Let me know if you have any other questions and once again congrats on your acceptance to ucsd!
Very great 👏👏🎉💐
if you are going to be a marketing/film/arts major would you say that revelle would still be a good option? i also am planning on taking a foreign language anyway hahaha so just factoring that in
i would still say no because of the difficulty of the HUM series :(
@@shreyanagu what is that?
I JUST GOT IN THRU MARSHALL :D would u say the GE's are demanding?
omg congrats! i wouldn’t say they are difficult at all! u lowkey j inspired me to make a new video all about marshall 👀
Hi Shreya! Are you a math-cs major or are you double majoring in maths and cs? If you're majoring in math-cs how do you feel so far about the course? Also, what is the ratio of Math to CS in the major? Is it 50-50?
i am a math-cs major! i really enjoy how its been going so far esp cause i really do enjoy the math classes i have been taking! as for the ratio of classes, I would take a look at this website: math.ucsd.edu/students/undergraduate/ma30-math-computer-science-b-s
its a list of the classes you need to take as a part of the major. you have electives that you take and depending on what you want from your major and you can chose to take more math or more cs!
got into Warren college as a math/econ joint major… am I cooked if my major is half stem half social science 😭? also I’ve heard that the living conditions in Warren college is the worst out of all of the colleges, is that rlly true?
heyyyy! congrats! do not worry, you are def not cooked. the ge's in warren are not terrible esp compared to the other colleges just maybe not the "best". as for the living conditions, i think warren is actually not terrible at all! like they aren't the newest or anything but my bestie lives in warren and she has been enjoying it!
i plan on applying to USCD in the future, majoring in political science. what colleges would you suggest i rank for my top 3?
humm I would say:
sixth
marshall
muir/seventh
(seventh for newer housing and don't care about location and muir if you want a better location on campus and decent housing)
@@shreyanagu thankkk you!!! i appreciate it 😊😊
I applied engineering major and put warren but got accepted into my alt major human bio. Am I cooked if I wanna be pre med at warren 😭??
heyyyy congrats on your acceptance! pre med at UCSD is literally amazing! but no, i wouldn’t worry too much about being pre med at warren. while i do mention in the video that engineering is best for ppl at warren, warren is still wonderful for all majors. i would def check out the warren GEs and see if they overlap significantly with the classes you hope to take. in addition, i have heard good things about the warren writing sequence. so don’t worry- u got this! and congrats again!
Got into 7th college
I just got into marshall as a transfer yippie
ahh congrats!!
@@shreyanagu thank u!!!
great vid! got into marshall for ele. engineering
omg congrats! i think my new video is just perfect for you then! also my bestie at ucsd is literally EE in marshall so lmk if u have any questions!
how common is it to transfer colleges?
not common at all unfortunately… i have never heard of someone doing it successfully but there is a process to do so
👌👌👌👌👌 ra nana very sweet very nice very very good 🥰❤️😍😘
