Great content! Well organized info and good perspective. Hope you make more videos of UCSD. Thank you!
The fkin Saul Goodman theme LMAOOO. For real though, thanks for the vid. Helped me get a better understanding of the university. You actually have potential to grow: the editing is great, the content is well organized and you are very charismatic. Hope you can manage to make more videos!
hi! i'm an international student applying to the ucs right now. thank you so much it's so hard to find personal takes into the college/campus life. you're a lifesaver
This was so freaking helpful! I love satire, Better Call Saul, and the Petscop feature had me doing the Leo DiCaprio pointing at the screen meme lol. I'm hoping to transfer to UCSD for CS next Fall, but I had no idea where to start or whether it would be worth it. You should def make more videos--you've obviously got a ton of personality haha.
damn somebody knows petscop??? if you do come to ucsd i kind of hope we meet at some point youâre like my twin lmao tysm
@@jayklmao bro thinks i dont know about petscop 4 đđâ â â
this was really helpful thank you for the video!! iâve just been admitted into marshall canât wait to visit on triton days
Thank u for sharing your experience.
Honestly. This is what I needed.
This month I got accepted to a Summer Research Camp and let me tell you, it'll be the first time in my life where I'll be in an US college ever.
Like I cross to the States quite frequently but damn it feels different that I'll be in the UCSD đđđ
Nice video! Thank you!
thank u for this omg
PRAYING for an ocean view. Got into Sixth college as a Physics major whoooooop!
Nice vid! Got admitted for CS into Seventh College as a transfer. Iâve been living in a small town my whole life and moving to UCSD is stressful enough for međ€.
Thank you!!!!
I love you, more videos, please.
slayed.
very helpful
this was a great watch thank you! I just got into sixth for chemical engineering. any advice? i also heard some stuff about sixth not having enough storage in the dorms how true is this? and lastly do you know if there are any gyms on campus for like working out and stuff?
idk much about chemE but sixth has plenty of storage esp under the beds lol. for gyms we have RIMAC or "LionTree" up near marshall/seventh and Main Gym down in muir.
It's mentioned somewhere that 7th has moved into old 6th housing... and that it's 'not good'. Do you know anything about this? Also, on your rankings, you have Warren/Marshall/Seventh on same level. Any further info you can provide as to what preferences might be within that ranking? Thank you! Great video!
7th has its own housing!! itâs at the very north of campus. the old 6th housing has recently been demolished lol, thereâs nothing over there now.
as for warren/marshall/seventh, i ranked them all near the same level because i wasnât confident in saying there was a significant enough difference between them to rank them differently.
iâm not totally familiar with their GEâs, but i think seventh and marshall probably rank slightly above warren. but it really depends on what credits you have coming in and what overlaps with your major. the geâs are all online, so definitely check those out if youâre so inclined.
as for location, warren
Do you know the computer engineering major at ucsd? I wanted to know that can I take courses like ML and DL there as a computer engineering major???
i got accepted and committed to UCSD, i'm here as a business econ major and will stay at sixth college!! I hope to meet ya there
Dear @maria my daughter would like to switch to your major from her original Business psychology majorđŠ. Is your Business Economics major Capped?
@@sophtsai4082 You will be able to see all the capped majors on the UCSD website. I have also been admitted as a business econ major. It is not a capped major and will be transferable. Good Luck!
Dear JayKđ„°Looove your candid and fun sharing! We are so blessed by you! I am a Muir college Alumna (1996) and hubby is a Revelle Alumnus (1993)đ and our daughter just got accepted to ERC ! We are so excited! Will be at Triton day in 10 days! Do you know if itâs possible to transfer from Business psychology to Business & Economics major?đ„đ„đ„
thank you!! very sweet that you have a ucsd family going on. it shouldn't be hard at all to transfer to Business/Econ as it's not a capped major. your daughter should be able to switch using the major/minor tool on tritonlink. send the virtual advising center a message if you have more questions. :)
thank you for the video! how close are biology/science classes from the sixth college?
i actually havenât taken a single bio or science class (cs doesnât count right lol) since iâve been here, but from what i can tell from webreg (the course offerings for this quarter) itâs probably At Most 10-12 min from sixth to any lecture hall youâll need to go to.
sixth is in a pretty optimal location. the furthest classes in general will be in warren or in pepper canyon (old sixth), which take around 15 min to walk to, but looking at BILD (bio) courses for this quarter, they seem to all be on the west-south side of campus (sixth, muir, revelle) or in center hall (on library walk). sixth is south enough that itâs not that far from revelle or center hall.
Hi amazingly helpful thanks! Wanted to ask how hard is it to switch majors to a capped major for eg business economics to data science. Is it possible and how tough is it?It wont become like the situation for switching to the CS major will it?
quite late but in case you and others see this, googling "switching to data science ucsd" gets you to this: datascience.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/capped-major-application/
basically, you need to apply to the data science major after taking certain prereqs, and you are ranked based on your GPA for those prereqs. after that, it's a game of chance.
it is possible to switch into data science, unlike computer science, but it's still not guaranteed that you'll get in even if you get a perfect gpa on the prereqs.
so if you really want to do data science and you weren't accepted for the major here, that's definitely something to think about
We need the year 2 update pls

Heyyy, I recently got into sixth college. Your vids helped a ton im rlly glad i put 6th as my first choice. Im from a faraway unknown land called Uzbekistan, is there anything I should keep notice while moving from such a distant country to San Diego?
i'm happy the video helped! let's go sixth. not sure exactly what'll be the biggest differences between here and there, so i can't give much good advice, but you definitely don't have to worry about weather lol. its cool that you're coming from so far away, hope you like it here
Whatâs up man, Iâm from Kazakhstan. Iâm go UCSD this fall as a transfer student. Letâs connect!
This was exactly what I was looking for. One question: so you apply to UCSD, and once accepted, then you choose which college you want to live in? And does your major have any affiliation with the college (building) you're living in?
Hi! You rank your preferences for the colleges on your UC application, so itâs on the application you submit to UCSD. If youâre accepted, youâll be assigned to a college based on your ranking. You canât switch colleges easily as far as i know.
Your major has no relation to your college, but some colleges are more suited for some major just based on how compatible the GEs are.
Your college doesnât affect your chances of getting admitted, and neither should your major as long as you have a backup uncapped major they can accept you under.
(Iâm incoming to UCSD)
this was so incredibly helpful tysm! would you happen to know anything about eighth college? i was accepted there but havenât been able to find much about it online
eighth college is new this year and iirc there hasn't been a lot of info posted about it yet. it's located south of revelle, so at the very very bottom. i think someone on the ucsd subreddit was talking about how they aren't sure what the ge's are. i assume they'll be alright though! new dorms will be cool.
Heyy! I was accepted eighth as well and I was wondering if you wanted to communicate as I havenât met any other eighth college admits!?
what would you rank the colleges for cs majors like in order please!
best to worst: Sixth Muir Warren Seveth Marshall ERC Revelle
hi! iâm an incoming transfer and just found out that transfers live in a separate housing area (rita and pepper???) do u know if it is at ALL possible to live on the college campus that u got admitted to (sixth college specifically)? and if itâs not possible have u heard anything about how that housing is? thank you.
hey!! i think that's only possible if your specific college is sixth and transfer housing fills up for some reason. i've heard of transfers also being overflowed to seventh. afaik rita atkinson is nicer but in a worse location and pepper canyon is less nice but in a better location (it's right next to the trolley)
What are the GE requirements you have to take for the sixth college? I got accepted into the sixth college and canât find information online about GE class requirements for the colleges.
google âsixth college ge ucsdâ and you get this link: sixth.ucsd.edu/academics/requirements/index.html
19:12 same for transfers?
MQ sounds so fun omg do u know if they value previous journalism experience in recruiting bc i love satirical magazines and writing but the last time i was involved with anything remotely related to a newspaper was 8th grade LOL
afaik most of the members had little to no journalism experience before joining! there's really no "recruiting" -- literally anyone can write an article and the content editors make sure we can print it. you sound like a good fit, come write for us :)
@@jayklmao as soon as I pull up to seventh college this fall I will be joining trust
Hello! I just got accepted to ERC for biology... would you say it's worth looking to switch to a more STEM-related college? I have read a few things on reddit saying to try and avoid ERC if a STEM major T-T
I don't think it is possible to switch colleges
Do you think a fine arts major is a good fit for the 6th college? Definitely, prefer a college that does NOT have a calculus/heavy math GE requirement.
i would say so! sixthâs geâs are pretty good for any major as far as i know. sixth geâs only require one math course, which doesnât have to be calculus. sixth also requires one statistics course.
googling geâs right now, looks like seventh doesnât even specify wanting a math course. some other colleges let you choose between math and some kind of science. definitely double check what the requirements are for each college
I like your reaction đ lol 0:47
Hello I got accepted to marshall college for human bio to go premed, how hard would it be to switch to john muir?
i don't think muir accepts inter-college transfers, sadly (look up inter-college transfers ucsd). switching colleges once you're admitted is also pretty uncommon. i think you have to prove that doing so would make you graduate at least two quarters earlier. it might not be worth the effort. marshall is also relatively pretty good and i know a few premed people in marshall, so i don't think you have to worry.
@@jayklmao thank you so much see you at ucsd!
how far is the six college dorm to the CS classes?
at most 10-15 minutes (to the CSE building and warren lecture hall), but recently more CS classes have lecture closer to sixth or even in sixth (mosaic, the jeannie, etc). i'd say 1/3 of my CS classes were in warren, and the rest were closer. đ
I got accepted into UCLA and UC Berkley, and choose Merced!
. I got into Roosevelt and it want on the list đź
Got accepted as transfer
Iâm in revelle am I cooked
12:27 what a goal to have
jesus christ i didn't READ that
Hi, I am also at UCSD. Maybe we can meet to have coffee sometimes if you are interested.
