I got a separate letter sent to me about a week later. So that might also be the case for you. I do believe they are currently in spring break so they might take a bit longer to get back to you. But if they don’t by then end of the week you can try to contact them. Here is the contact for the admissions director: sonja@ucsd.edu

 

 

Thank you so much for your support and advice! I will definitely contact them.

Hope you get a lot of funding. I myself an heavily considering UCSD but have yet to make my final decision.

Congratulations!! Especially since it is a non-resident award so it is a lot more money than us residents. You must be so proud! As you should be! 

Thank you! I am so stoked. I've spent part of today looking at housing

It's a bit harder than I expected, I should probably find a roommate or something first to bring costs down. Do you know of any admitted student groups or opportunities to connect with other people in the cohort?

Has anyone heard anything about the schedule for admit days next week?

I don’t really know. I’m still seeing it UChicago or UCLA will raise their offers or guarantee a TA position on my end to see where I will go. Also I am still wait listed at Duke so that might change plans if they accept me within the next week or so. But I feel as though I should begin looking at housing for UCSD. Once I make my decision (by the end of this week and beginning of the next) I’ll begin to research it more thoroughly, but I figure we will keep each other updated. I suppose we will all see each other a lot anyways if we all go to the same program. Hahaha

I haven’t heard anything. I actually looked online yesterday and through all the events emails that they have ever sent me but I didn’t see anything. Hopefully someone else here has info or can keep us updated.

I've just recevied an email  of Admitted Student Days.

However, I'm still waiting official decision from the grad division.(MIA Course)

* I got nominated for admission early March

"Please join us next week for our Admitted (and nominated!) Student Days."

 

Has anyone been officially admitted MIA Course?

Did you get any good news?

Is anyone still waiting on official confirmation from the graduate division? I was nominated for admission at the end of February.

Okay, I'm glad that I am not the only one. I had called the grad division office and they basically said I have to contact GPS, then I can't get a response from them. So hopefully it will be by the end of the week then.

Does anyone know when the BA/MIA applicants get news on their admission? The deadline for the application is April 10.

Update on my end. I turned down UCSD to go to UCLA's program since it was a better fit for me. I got a decent financial aid offer from UCSD, so I hope that since I turned that down that means that some of you will be able to get some extra funding come April 15th. I wish you guys the absolute best of luck. I know some of you really want to go to UCSD and a lot of you in here got in. Wish you guys all the best!!

Did anyone go to the Zoom session yesterday about the Summer Prep Courses?  I was not able to make it, did they mention anything important or interesting?
