*We have no clue if admissions are coming out today, this is just hedging bets. Probably this week or next. *

Everyone with admission and college questions, please post your questions in this megathread! Additionally, please try to check the megathread to see if your question has been already answered.

Admissions/new student posts made outside of this megathread are subject to removal at moderator discretion. Please take a look at our rules page. If you believe we have made an error, please message us via modmail.. The mod team will try and get back to you asap, but we are students or alumni and as a result it make take a little bit.

For more subjective questions, be aware that r/UCSD (and any university subreddit) is not directly representative of the overall student body. In a survey we did of r/UCSD, 2/3 respondents agreed r/UCSD didn't represent UCSD's overall student body.

A few useful links:

Please be aware stuff at UCSD can change fast. Most info you can find on this subreddit will still hold true, but there have been many major changes over the last 5 years especially.

How do I login to check my admissions decision?

You should be logging into the Admissions Portal. This is different from all the stuff current students use. If you can't login, email [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

How does the college I got matter? Can I change college?

For freshman admits, your college is basically only going to affect your GE requirements and where you're likely to live on campus (although you can be overflowed to other housing depending on space). For transfers, it's only GE requirements as there is separate transfer housing. As a result, it affects basically nothing for transfers since most have IGETC and will have very few GEs coming in.

Your major is entirely disconnected from your college (there are even separate major advisors who work for your department separate from your college advisors who work for your college). Your classes will be held all over campus and have a mix of students from all colleges. You can eat at any dining hall, the colleges are basically all directly next to each other and easy to get between, you will probably make friends in all sorts of different colleges. The furthest apart two colleges are is about a 20-25 minute walk (from Seventh to Eighth).

You cannot easily change college. You will need to complete at least part of your original college's writing sequence (meaning it will take about a year to even meet the application requirements) and be able to prove you can graduate two quarters earlier in your new college. College is not the end of the world though, even a college that overlap poorly with a major is more than survivable.

I'm waitlisted. What should I do next?

From UC San Diego Admission Website

Select applicants will be invited to opt in to our waitlist through their Applicant Portal.

First-Year applicants must opt in by 11:59 pm PST on April 15.

Being on the waitlist does not guarantee an offer of admission. We strongly urge students to accept another university's admission offer before the appropriate deadline to ensure they have secured a spot at an institution.

By June 30, final decisions will be released to applicants who opt in to the waitlist. There is no appeal process for the waitlist.

Thank you UCSD for making the TSS services! I have always wanted to go through multiple error pages trying to enroll in my classes! I have always wanted to use AI to access my course planners. Lord I am SOOOOOO pleased that this is what my tuiton goes towards! Wow, I can't wait to use TSS while I go to goopkitchen! How wonderful is life.

Do I even need to enroll in classes? when I could just look at an error screen? Sources say Yes!!!!!!

pretty much what the title says, but like holy sh*t this system sucks. was there no stress testing or anything going on? i can't even enroll in any of my classes, degree audit wasn't working, gpa calculator gone, I CAN'T PLAN MY CLASSES, they took out so many simple functionalities of webreg, etc. why make something so much more complex than it needs to be? cherry on top is tritongpt 😍

that one dude who made the webreg dupe deserves all the praise

i deadass hate this. i had my first pass 20 minutes ago and i cant get the site to load. And when i do, none of the classes are showing up. wtf?? i hate this website and this was the most unecessary change. ucsd couldve put the money into smth better instead of making the lives of students harder

Question So what do we do now?

30 Upvotes

I'm surprised they didn't send a school-wide email yet to at least acknowledge TSS is not working and say they expect to have it working by x time. I don't know if I should just be sitting behind the screen until the site works because I'm worried if I step away, maybe it'll suddenly start working and seats will run out fast.

General Class Enrollment Cancelled / Pushed Back?

I got this error after hitting the "Book" button. I think they may have cancelled/delayed enrollment.

If we have got our enrollment appointment but aren't able to enroll because the system keeps crashing, and the class ends up filling before we're able to register, do we have any grounds to file a complaint
