Hey everyone, Longtime lurker here that made an account because I'm unsure of what to do. I'm really interested in the field of psychiatry and really want to volunteer for a crisis hotline during my undergraduate studies. I tried searching for any opportunities near my area (I go to UCSD) but I...

Hi everybody. I'm fairly new to SDN and am turning to you guys to help me make a big decision. I was recently admitted into both UW Madison and UCSD as a transfer student from a two-year UW college. As a premed, I feel like this is an important decision, but I know some will agree and some will...

I was just notified I was admitted to Cal as a CC transfer into their Bioengineering program. Being also admitted to UCSD, I like the idea of transferring into the NanoE department and majoring in NanoEngineering if I attend. This is a very tough decision for me, since I like the reputation that...

Hi, I'm new to this website, but I've been reading a lot of forums since undergraduate college decisions have been released. The title says it all. I'm not sure how different UCI and UCSD is, and I know that the ranking matters very little since what is important is your GPA, MCAT, and extra...

I've read many, many posts across the internet comparing the two, but I wanted to hear more recent opinions. I've been accepted into both as a Psych major. How is competition at the two schools? Some say UCSD's more chill, others say it's more cutthroat, surprisingly. What are recommended...

Hello everyone! I got admitted into Muir College in UCSD as a freshman, and I will major in Human Biology. I am interested both in pre med and pre dental, but I am concerned for a few things. I'm not good at physics and neutral in chem, and I'm not a big fan of research(prefer clinical...

Hi, I got accepted into the following schools: UC Berkeley UC Santa Barbara (honors program) UCLA UCSD UC Irvine (honors program) UC Davis University of Rochester However, I can't seem to be able to determine which school(s) is best for pre-med. What are your thoughts/opinions? Thank you

I got accepted to both UW and UCSD but waitlisted at UCSF. I need to make the decision soon but I want to hear more opinions on these schools, either you heard things from people in the program or you are in the program. I would like to hear more opinions on UW and UCSD since there's a lot of...

Hey everyone, I have just recently graduated from UCSD at age 21 (finished in 3 years). I took some time to travel to Europe and then took my MCAT. I scored a mediocre 500 (first time taking it). My cum GPA is 3.01 and my science GPA is a little lower. The reason for my low GPA is that during my...

Hey everyone, I didn't see any official threads for the 2015-2016 UCSD postbac program yet so I thought I'd start one so that we can all communicate and update each other on any progress/news regarding the application process now that the application cycle has ended. I submitted late, only a...

Hi everyone, There's not much info out there on the reputation and caliber of training at the General Surgery residency program at UCSD... I'm a 3rd year med student starting to look at surgery programs, and am curious what the word on the street is about UCSD. Not sure how much value the...

Why do some school's websites say they have "no state preference" for applicants, but they clearly do? UCLA's website says "No preference is given to state of residence." But UCLA is 85% people from California. UCLA also interviewed about 4% of OOS apps and 13% of IS apps. Am I missing something??

Hello Guys, I don't see a thread open for this year's cycle. I figured I create one. Who's applying to this program? I submitted my application on 01/10/2016, confirmed by e-mail that all my supporting documents are in. Now, just playing the waiting game.

Has anyone been invited for an interview for the 2016 entering class?
