For anyone who's in Revelle or might just now, is there any way I can test out of my Fine Arts GE class. I was looking at the music and fine arts classes they offer and I'm really not interested in anything that isn't major only and I'm planning on studying molecular biology. I tested lvl 5 piano theory in the 7th grade and I could probably pass lvl 10 if I tried. Is there any way I can get out of taking a music class because I really don't want to end up taking introductory music theory again and its too late to sign up for AP music theory. >_<

i don't think you can get out of it. you should take the TDGE classes (really easy) or the dance classes like jazz, ballet, and contemporary. those are always fun

LOL stripper pole...

I guess it makes sense that the common room is kinda empty at the beginning of the year.


what bands have played at UCSD in recent years?
I always hear about concerts by big bands every quarter, and smaller bands' concerts more often

haha yea usually by the middle of the year, most common rooms are filled with postures, magazine pages, news letters from RA, TRASH (man some suite's are soooo dirty), etc etc.

lets see this school year we have, lupe fiasco, i the mighty, eric hutchinson, death cab for cutie, ultraviolet sound, cold war kids, etc etc etc (wayyy too man to name). theres usually concert EVERY week, most free, the ones are RIMAC arena are not (and those are usually the big names). they are always fun to go to :]

[kwanitee]

awesome!:] whats ur major? i'm undecided but am considering possibly a bio or some other science major. and maybe a foreign language minor. not 100% sure though :]
i'm waiting for berkeley's results to come out, but i think SD is a more reasonable choice for me
also, UCI might be a slight possibility
ultimately tho, i'm set on SD :]

btw, http://muir.ucsd.edu/academics/generaled.shtml has the general ed requirements + courses for Muir
so u can use it to choose CC courses that meet those requirements^^

i'm majoring in physiology and neuroscience. (= thanks for the link, it helps a lot! i'm planning to take math and sociology [maybe psychology instead though, since my friend took it before], but i don't know if i want to take a third class yet. i passed the ap u.s. history exam with a 4 last year, and that knocked out 2 history classes, so awesome. xD

[smilingIDEATION]

is there any way AT ALL to transfer out of Revelle into Muir or ERC?
everyone keeps telling me that there is NO way at all, but i think i heard there is a way..or a chance?

yeaa :[ its really hard to transfer between colleges
basically u need a really good reason and explanation for why transferring colleges will help u with ur major or career or something along those lines
and even then, ur chances arent too high =/

yea, it's really hard to switch colleges. ._." from the ucsd website itself: "Yes, after you complete the writing program and if you can demonstrate that switching to a different college will allow you to graduate with fewer academic quarters."

[kouct08]

Thanks xlemonpie~ I love the weather here in CA! It is always sunny

[SurpriseSex]

So basically there's no point in transferring colleges after your writing requirements. That's only reason for wanting out, anyways.

coming from Massachusetts

lol east coast baby

gotta love the weather

[kouct08]

Wow Massachusetts, thats even further than NJ. mass. is sooo COLDDD

For anyone at ERC:
Is it worth it for me to take any AP tests? More specifically AP English Lit? I'm just afraid it won't count for much because of the strict writing program requirements.

AP English doesnt count for any writing classes. however, you HAVE to either get a 680 or high on your SAT 1 or SAT 2 lit OR get 3 or higher on AP OR pass the entrance writing exam to be able to take MMW2 and beyond. if you dont, you have to take SDCC. do go online to search for the details.


incoming freshmen:
ALWAYS do your research before hand, ucsd's website pretty much have everything. just search google if you cant find it through the main website. it has a lot more information than we can provide here.

[AzN_cHiC89]

I just have a random question, but I think it applies to this thread. Who was the person that IMed me on AIM asking about Revelle and Human Bio? I never got a chance to ask your name and soompi id. I just wanted to make sure it was actually someone from soompi.

Anyways, so does anyone know when grades come out? I heard Thursday from some friends, but I just wanted to see if anyone knew forreals.

[jennx109]

I heard grades come out this thursday too.

[Kurisu]

Not all the grades will come out. I believe it depends on the class/department. So you might get certain grades a day (or two?) later. This happens with every quarter though. ;]

I would say that Muir is pretty hard to get into in the first place. When I got my acceptance letter, I remember it saying quite a bit of people (forgot the statistics) applied but a lot did not get into that college. Fortunately Muir was my first choice and I got in.

[d00lie]

^ really?

muir wasn't my first. but i got muir..

[Trinity <3]

Is anyone doing economics/management science/business in UCSD as an undergraduate at the moment?

I applied for Sociology because I had an interest for it, but now I might change my major into business later on.

How's the business program in ucsd?
I know there aren't a lot of courses :/ But I really want to go there.
