Does anyone know what this page means?

I keep getting this page when I try the portal astrology. When I click on "Sign into Campus Solution", it just refreshes the page. It's like a white page and then I just end up back on this page. Does anyone know what is happening?

For context, I sign up for summer classes during high school. Is anyone in a similar situation?

UCSD vs UCSB for Business

I am planning to work in Finance post grad and I got into UCSD in 7th college as a Business Economics major and at UCSB as a Financial Math and Statistics major. I love the UCSB campus, location and social aspect, but after visiting their career services center it really disappointed me and made me feel like i’d be in my own in terms of getting support for recruiting. She basically said that she didn’t have any information on any questions I had like average starting salaries, company placement and how they would help.

I like UCSD’s campus and location as well, but I am worried about the socially dead stigma. Which should I choose? UCSB is a much more quantitative program and would look great going into finance but UCSD is also better ranked in terms of economics.

Greek life (sororities) at UCB

My daughter will start at Berkeley this fall. She wants to rush a sorority, but I’m anxious about her emotional health (depression from rejection, or having to change herself to conform) & her grades. Most of the Greek life info I’ve found was pre-covid or just afterwards. What are the realities of Greek life at UCB? Mean Girls vibes? Are most people who want to join a sorority/fraternity able to do so? Academic focus? Costs vs. dorm life? Thanks!

Why did you choose UC Berkeley over UCLA?

Hi all! I have the fortunate privilege of choosing Berkeley or UCLA for astrophysics, but I don’t have the ability to choose UCLA. I am unable to afford driving 6 hours to UCLA, or traveling on plane, since I come from a low income family. I’m devastated that I won’t be able to visit UCLA during Bruins Day, and I’m trying to cope with this by telling myself that Berkeley is the right decision, since it’s been my dream school since freshman year of HS.

For this, to all who plan to commit to UC Berkeley over UCLA, why Berkeley and not UCLA? What stands out about Berkeley that UCLA doesn’t have, whether it’s be your major or for social events?

Thank you all who are taking the time to read my post!! Best of luck to all next fall!

Completing transfer apps w/ only 2 months at original school

I have at least 60 semester units and was wondering how disadvantaged I'd be or how plausible it would be to complete a sophomore transfer app. I'm attending UCSB as a CS major and I just don't think I fit the culture or what it offers me academically at all, and I want to transfer to UCSD, UCB, or UCLA.

I understand UC-UC transfer is extremely difficult, but I still want to take a shot (+ I'll have another chance if I wait till next yr). Should I just wait another yr or should I try to rack up as many things at UCSB within months? I already have a research internship lined up at the school and I'll try to fish around for more opportunities.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

can't decide between ucla and cal

in march, i got into ucla AND berkeley (first world problems i know). i am crazy grateful to even have this option in the first place, but i'm having a tough time deciding where to go. i just don't know which campus would be a better fit for me.

to preface, i'm an incoming freshman. my major is english, and i'm hoping to double major in history.

ucla

pros:

closer to home (2 hour drive)

easy-to-travel campus layout

cute college town!

housing guaranteed?

#1 dining hall

more traditional college campus feel?

commuter feel kinda

cons:

not number one..?

don't know much ab their english program

berkeley

pros:

number one! (prestige)

insane opportunities

amazing english dept

cons:

far. real far. 8 hour drive

unsafe from what i know

dorms are off campus?

housing only guaranteed 1 yr?

food isn't great

i will be living with a cat, as neither of my parents can take care of her right now. i'm shooting for a single dorm on campus housing-wise. i will have access to my own car.

thanks for any and all help! i would really appreciate it!

Am I getting rescinded?

All As throughout high school, including in 11 other AP courses (taking 5 right now with all As), including chem, calc bc, etc.

Last semester: B in AP Physic C: Mech

This sem (pending): C- in progress (most of the class has Cs).

Wondering what happens if I get a D.

I satisfied all a-g requirements.

Reason: teacher—not sure if this is a good reason for admission.

UCSB Housing Deadline Email

Hello fellow transfer students, my friend who applied to UCSB for transfer for fall 2026 received this email 2 months ago regarding payment for housing at UCSB. He got accepted into both UCI and UCD as a cs major, and he is awaiting his UCSB decision. My other friend and I both haven't received this email, and there is not a trace of this email in other Reddit posts. Does this signify acceptance or anything else? Good luck with Berkeley, btw!

UCD or UCSC

I’m currently waitlisted at UCD for Biotech, and admitted to UCSC for Microbio. in terms of my major would Davis be better and should I commit if I get off the waitlist? I’m in SC rn and I’m not fully vibing with the campus or town either but it’s my only option for school besides the waitlist.

Will I get into UCLA???

It’s like 3 weeks till UCLA comes out and I’m getting nervous like a lot of other transfers are. With my stats do you guys think I’ll get into UCLA. For context I’m a political science major doing one year and I am not tap certified but I am in the honors program and did 3 honors classes.

Stats:

-4.0 gpa

-part time boba job

-paid TA for my English class in cc

-private paid tutoring elementary/middle school kids

-research internship in high school on social media branding

-wrote law/political blog and nba blog

-TikTok with 7k followers and 110k likes

-volunteer youth basketball coach

I’d say my essays are pretty good but that can be biased because I wrote them. I’m worried because I’m doing 3 of my 5 prereqs in the spring they’ll reject me.

I did get into Uci also waiting for berk,sd, usc, northwestern, and Emory

San Diego State University or University of California San Diego

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice 🙏

I’m trying to decide between SDSU (I got about $10k/year in scholarships) and UCSD (I’d be paying full in-state tuition).

Right now I’m thinking about going pre-law, but I’m not 100% locked in yet. I’m wondering how much undergrad prestige vs cost actually matters for law school, and whether saving money at SDSU might be the smarter move.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have thoughts on which option might be better long-term?

Double Major at UCSD

Hello, I got in for applied math at UCSD. I was wondering if it would be difficult to major in Data Science as well, both in terms of actually applying for DS and handling the units/course load.

UCSD vs UCI

I cannot decide what UC to go to plz help!! I really just want to make friends and have a good community in college (ik both UCI and UCSD are known for being "socially dead", but these are my options).

I am currently leaning more towards UCI because of the theatre program, and I also have roommates, BUT if you go to either or know anything, please LMK your opinions!! Thanks!

slug day + UCSC cons

as someone who is waiting to get off one of three waitlists and is currently choosing between UCSC, UCR, and CCC (only options other than waitlist) should i go to slug day?

it feels stupid but i don’t want to go because it’s predicting 100% rain and i have to get up hella early. also i prob wouldn’t even go to UCSC considering it’s not great for pre med (im a bio major) and id rather go to CCC and transfer. i think im just thinking id go because it would help me not miss out on the four year undergrad experience. please lmk on ur past experience of slug day or just UCSC in general!!
