How hard is CSE itself? How hard are the major classes? How are the professors? And what's the class load like each week?
@katiegirl2 жыл бұрын
unfortunately i'm not CSE i'm CpE but regardless of major the study load depends on you as a student and also your schedule. most uci engineering majors have a course pathway you can/should follow so you can see how each quarter's course load would be like when signing up for classes and making your schedule. professors you can look on reddit and ratemyprofessor.com or check with other students. ALL majors have their difficulties butif you have a balanced interest and skill for what you wanna study it definitely helps keep you motivated to stay in it. GOOD LUCK

Hello, I am currently freaking out, haha.. I have an -A, B+, and the rest A/A+. I’m going into my Junior year in High School. My school does not provide any AP/Honor classes and barely has any extra-curriculars. I might move High Schools. UCI is my dream school. Do you think this would affect me badly on the chances on me getting in? Do you have any tips on studying for the ACT and/or SAT?
@katiegirl3 жыл бұрын
though those classes do help in putting you ahead compared to other students, you have other ways besides sticking to what your high school provides to get in to a university! :) community college classes also can count for AP-like credit, also community and volunteer help outside academic themes are great too! also the way you create and send in your UC application is also a great way to show who you are as a person not just a student, and there's a section where you can explain anything about your experience at your school like covid quarantine if that affected you and your school performance and how your school didn't offer AP's but you went and sought out college courses to get ahead or somethings like that. for studying for ACT and SAT i recommend just doing practice problems and focusing on the concepts you don't really get... also under conditions that are like the real test day, so like the timing and no distractions setup you'll be in also i recommend sat/act study sessions at your local library or other schools hope this helps! good luck!

so you enroll uci webreg (found on the same page as uci's schedule of classes, the top , menu bar, www.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc ) at spop you're given a pathway of graduation paper that would show what most people of that major would take through out 4 years to graduate or you can look it up in your major's school. i know engineering majors have flowcharts but i haven't really seen any other schools/majors do this, you can also check uci's degreeworks (also on the page of uci's schedule of classes page) they'll also show what categories of GE's you'll need to take and how many you have have to complete!

How does UCI determine registration times for each student? If you’re an athlete or have Ap credits do u tend to get priority or how does it work?
@katiegirl3 жыл бұрын
i am not sure how being a uci team athlete plays a part in enrolling of classes but it would make sense for them to get a bit of a priority, but yes, having more credits and a higher gpa gets you a earlier enrollment time in your year like if you have a 3.7 and you're a sophomore you'd be part of the earliest sophomores to be apply to enroll in classes, as an incoming freshman, AP credits add to your UCI starting gpa so that will allow you to get an earlier enrollment window

usually there’s a fb page like “uci class of 2025” etc that’s public you join and people throw out “looking for roommate in mesa court for a double” or something like that and you say what you’re majoring in, hobbies, interests etc. un the for the towers, well middle earth is closer to stem classes (not ge’s sometimes) and mesa is closer to humanities, middle earth is newer but both types are the newest forms around.

@katiegirl3 жыл бұрын
congrats on being accepted in! so usually the more people in the room the less you have to pay, but triples in the towers are more expensive than triples in the classics (mostly cuz uci knows their popular and newer) but a triple in the towers is cheaper than a double in the towers. the least expensive dorming cost is a quad (also in the towers). in terms of applying for dorm, you'll most likely receive an email from uci housing with a link for you to make your preferences in dorm life layouts and roommates. it's been a while, but there will be a housing portal for you to access with your uci id and net id (the name before the @ in your uci email) that would allow you to apply. good luck and congrats!

Again, thanks for the great video 🥰
@katiegirl3 жыл бұрын
CONGRATS!! i had a pub health class last quarter! so for getting into the towers you can put down your preferences of what type of dorm setting you'd like (like classics or towers) however due to covid, the dorms may still have weird layouts/room choices. but it's really hard to say cuz everything is on a hopeful reach of in-person courses. in terms of having a higher preference to be placed in the towers...before covid i heard of people that applied/preference the tower with a full room (like a triple: already having 3 people wanting to live with each other, or a full quad: four people set on dorming together) had a better chance than a single person wanting to live in the towers... also to add to that idea, having 2 people set and ready to live with each other in the quad layout has a better chance than a single person trying to join a group, if that makes sense. i must say, uci is pretty good at accommodating students' requests/wants but it's just not guaranteed so don't count of anything being 100% set in stone) GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS
