It's about time to get this thread started! Congrats to all who have been accepted and those who intend to matriculate this fall!
Hi sassy doc! Hi other future UCSDers! I'm heading to UCSD this upcoming fall, and I'm super excited about it! I'm also looking forward to the second look weekend. I mean, I don't really need a second look to decide that I want to go there; I just want to spend more time getting to know the place where I'll be spending the next four years of my life. Have you all decided for sure on UCSD or are you still weighing your options?
The second look thingamajigger is April 27th-28th. I think they sent out an e-mail with the info asking us to RSVP, with promises of more information to follow.
Wow, Harvard vs. UCSD... an enviable dilemma!
Oh, and Hednej, if you don't mind me asking: in what area are you level 60? You know, just in case we do end up being classmates.
Thanks, SeventhSon! I have an "otherwise" question about housing. I signed up on the student housing waitlist, but have heard that it can take quite a while to get a place. Are there other affordable housing options in the area? I'm an older-ish non-trad and will be bringing my rather vociferous kitty with me, so I realize that I may have some difficulty finding a place...
I am just curious how many UCSD undergrads are thinking about matriculating on here...Anyone?
I was wondering what percentage of UCSD M1s end up staying in Graduate Housing? Is the on campus graduate housing generally preferred by med students over regular housing that you would find on your own?
Could any current UCSD med students please give their opinions/recommendations on housing options? Thanks!!
Go Tridents!
Anyone else wonder why our primary care ranking fell 20-some places in the last year? I'm not worried, it's just odd.
i dunno....maybe the plans to close all inpatient service at hillcrest and move them to thorton in la jolla, some see it as a slap in the face to the underserved of SD.
probably, however i think the % entering primary care is averaged over several years, lets just hope its not the residency director assesment score that changed!

hey guys, i'm a current first-year and if you have any questions about making a decision or otherwise, i'll do my best to answer them!
the criteria for evaluation changes at USNWR every year, otherwise they would be spitting out the same list and no one would buy it.
Hey there,
Do you have UCSD 2007 Match List? I'd like to take a look. Thanks!
I believe most everoyne has posted their match on the student portal (need to be current student and have password), but I have yet to see anyone compile it. Sorry.
anyone??
come join, even if you've been waitlisted
i was wondering if any of the awesome current MS1s/2s can give a preview of what the electives consist of/what duties are? I know there are a ton of choices, I guess I was wondering some specific first hand impressions
I've been advised that doing electives during 2nd year fall, while you are taking anatomy, is rough.
Hmm, I was wondering about this too. Can any current students shed some light on electives? Do we get any guidance in choosing them (such as: "This elective is really time consuming, so don't take it during _____ quarter," or "This one is great if you're interested in _______")? Thanks in advance!
If nothing sounds interesting, do DOC, which gets you lots of units for almost no actual work or time commitment.
I'm waitlisted! Any tips on how to get in?! UCSD is my first choice!
are we going to hear about fin. aid before May 15th?
I definitely hope so! BTW, SD doesn't give out merit scholarships, does it?
