Someone else in for UCSD next year?

Thanks a lot for the info... and for the correction! I made up my mind yhis morning and I am finally going to UCSD. As far as housing goes, do you have any idea of the areas? I really do not want to drive (I don't mind riding a bike for half an hour to get to university but, honestly, I don't even want to have a car). I have checked the housing offered by the housing service and it seems OK -prices and so -, but do you have any idea of how they really are? Coast appts, La Jolla appts, etc.? Thanks again from sunny Paris!

Hi there, It's very very possible that I'll attend UCSD next year for a PhD in compartive literature (Spanish, French, English). On the website and on the brochure, the partment of literature seems very interesting and progressive, but... Honestly speaking, how reputated is UCSD for literature? And how is it really?? Thanks a lot!!

Hi everyone, Here's my story... Berkeley was my first choice: I didnt get in. Stanford is my second, and I am waitlisted. UCSD was my third, and I have been accepted. I really want to get into Stanford. I emailed the chair of the department of Comparative Literature and here's their answer: " The Comparative Literature competition is so tough that we have moved you to the Spanish department waitlist where your chances are somewhat better but by no means guaranteed. At this point in time all we can do is wait to see who accepts our offer." This said, I do not know what to do. I have to accept or decline UCSD offering before April 14th, but I obviously want to go to Stanford... do you have any idea on what to do? And do you have any idea on until when we need to wait? And, since their waitlist is not numbered, how do they make decissions on who to admit? I am really really lost... Thanks! Zazà.
