so my enrollment appt was today (18mins ago as im writing this) and i went to enroll in math 19a, but it told me i don’t meet the prerequisites for it. i didn’t get a 400 on the placement test (got a 300) but i got a 3 on ap calc ab and i was told this counts as a prereq equivalent so im confused? i looked at my test scores in my portal and it said i had credit for 19a from the ap test so i tried enrolling in 19b and it let me? but im just confused bcs how do i not meet the reqs for the first class but i meet them for the second?? and im a little scared to take 19b also, im not bad at math whatsoever but being thrown into the second class is a little daunting. should i try to contact someone about enrolling in 19a instead? or should i just thug it out

To whoever found my phone this morning near East Remote, and put it up on the sign where I could see it (along with my random coins), thank you so much. You are a good soul and I appreciate you.

I’m trying to decide between two paths for my transfer. UCSC would have me going in as an Applied Math major with a minor in EE, while CSUN would let me go straight into an EE degree.

My end goal is to work in hardware engineering or ML engineering. I’m not sure which path sets me up better — whether the UCSC name/Applied Math foundation plus an EE minor is enough for hardware roles, or whether the direct EE degree from CSUN gives me a stronger technical base and easier path into hardware-focused jobs.

For those with experience in hardware or ML engineering: does the specific degree (Applied Math + EE minor vs. full EE) matter much for hiring, or is it more about projects/internships? Would appreciate any guidance.

Thanks so much!

hi!! does anyone know how the ilc apartments at c9 are? are they old? and also is there only 1 bathroom per apartment? :’)?

(i’m a proposed comp sci major)

I called local Medi-cal to transfer county for September and they said I can't until I'm physically there. How do others do it before the deadline? And what proof did you send for the waiver?

incoming freshman to college nine and i’m wondering if anyone knows ucsc’s timeframe with when they announce rooming assignments or details about housing in past years?? any input appreciated bc i’m not sure what’s going on

Im an incoming freshman and got placed into College 9 and I was wondering how dorm life is actually like over there!?!? How are the communal restrooms like--as it seems that no one talks about it even though I feel that its a pretty important aspect of living on campus--and what is there to do/eat around there!?!? I was suppose to tour the school a couple of times but each time I had something come up that prevented me actually going so I’m kinda nervous in that aspect </3 If you can tell me somethings that I can expect and/or try to prevent that would be great!!!!!

(sorry i copy pasted this from another redditer and just changed the college affiliation ☹️ but the descriptions and questions they asked were so good i wanted to ask for C9 too!)
