    I got waitlisted to Cal and Davis for nutritional sciences as a Freshman for Fall 2018! How do they compare, if you know? I’ve done quite a bit of research and also found that Davis’ nutrition program was ranked #1 in 2017.....
    I know that classes will be harder at Cal, so maybe I should go to Davis for undergrad instead?

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hey!! mm well i think cal in general is gonna be a lot harder and rigorous than davis, but other than that im not too sure! davis does have an advantage i think since we are an ag school. when choosing a school you should also take into account of the environment, student body, student life, weather and just how the school is like after visiting. there is SO much more to a school than academics! best of luck :)

    Could you elaborate more on some tips and advice on how to get off of the waitlist at Davis? I am still deciding between a few other schools but would appreciate some advice or just hearing more about your experience with being waitlisted by Davis. I will be visiting Davis along with some other schools this weekend. Should I go to the admissions office and try to convince someone to get me off of the waitlist? Idk lol! Anything helps rn!

    I got into NYU as well, and my parents won’t let me go because it is SO EXPENSIVE. I’m so excited to go to UC Davis though, it seems like an amazing school

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nikki Rikki ah girl I feel you, and davis is def welcoming but make sure to check out the campus and the vibe and see if YOU enjoy it and can see yourself thriving here. Everyone is different and prefers a specific college environment :)

    Omg I feel so conflicted, I was born and raised in SoCal and I’m so used to the LA life and a lot of my peers kind of want to leave SoCal because it’s kind of like the only time in our lives where we get to “explore” before settling, but I’m not sure if it’s right for me. I also want to major in clinical nutrition I really wanted to go to a UC but only Davis and Berkeley are accredited by ACEND, and they’re both really far. I feel like not having access to city events and stuff would make me really home sick...Pepperdine and cal state poly Pomona would also be options but Pepperdine is SUPER EXPENSIVE.. I’m so sorry for this rant but any advice would help 😭

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Heyy!! Thanks for your comment, and don't need to apologize at all! So, Davis and Cal aren't the only schools for nutrition! The school thats best for you isn't solely based off the acclaimed major programs but also things like environment, weather, distance, cost...I don't know much about ACEND, but the mistake that I made was that I chose Davis and the colleges that I applied to based on the prestige in my major.. I don't know what to say exactly, but you know yourself the best and I highly recommend that you visit the school!! ALSO I don't know about you but my friends and I changed our majors helllaaaa when we came to college, so you might too! So, don't choose a college based off the major, but maybe the academic intensity and environment (students, weather, city or not). Hope this helps girl, good luck!

  • @alih9952

    Hey Tiffany, I was wondering what specifically you said in your email to the counselors and on the phone call as well? Are you essentially just restating what you said in the 200 word waitlist statement they make you fill out to enter the waitlist?

    • @TiffanyYang0809

    Hi, I came across your video and I got put on the paid wait list as well when I applied for housing I chose a double room as my preference.Does being on the paid waitlist for student housing affect the type of room you get?

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      hmm, i'm not sure if i paid to be on the waitlist but i remember that i didn't get guaranteed housing and was on the waitlist for it lol but i got a triple in the end. my other friend asked for a double and she ended up getting a single. honestly i have no idea what the heck student housing is doing haha, it's the luck of the draw i guess. but you can call student housing to ask! :)

    • @mariapina8462
      @mariapina8462 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tiffany Yang Cause the only reason I’m in the paid waitlist was because my payment when I applied for housing was late but I will call the office Thank you so much 😊

    • @tha_oz
      @tha_oz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      like how do you adapt to the quarter system, how to adapt to the new school, and how to make friends as a transfer. I just graduated high school in June and seeing all my friends having fun all over the nation while I'm stuck in community college is depressing af

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      aww, there are plenty of pros to community college, like you have more freedom and time for work and such. a lot of people have told me to just take it slow your first quarter and take 12 units (minimum) just to get the feel of the university life. the quarter system is pretty fast so you don't want to take too much academic load. making friends is easy since at the beginnign of the school year there is a club fair, and there are ways to get to know people by just being involved in the school (working, internships, attending lectures/office hours, engaging with professors and classmates). it all really takes time. i hear some upper classmen don't even have their shits together, so don't stress, just have fun! :) hope this helps man

    How do you choose what housing you get?

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      you only get to choose whether you want a triple, double or a single but other than that they place you in either cuarto, segundo or tercero. all three of them have their own pros and cons..personally, i was waitlisted (because i was waitlisted for davis) and i ended up in a triple in tercero..my other friend just randomly got a single even though she didn't request it..it's really hard to say what their system is honestly :/

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      @rexiepoo 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      hows the workload for the nutrition class?

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's pretty low. all you have to do is go to lecture and take notes. the exams basically replicate the practice exams they give you and they give out extra credit too!! def recommend this class :) and honestly with me, since i found nutrition so applicable and interesting, it was easy to retain the material!

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      hey jamie!! thanks for your question and so glad you found the video helpful :) This is a tough question to answer since Davis has so many different kinds of students, but honestly it depends who you hang around and where you live. For example, when choosing housing, there are honors dorms and major-specific dorms which could make your academic life more competitive. I don't personally find too much stress and pressure, since I haven't taken too many difficult classes. We also have a good amount of international students who actually make classes harder (due to the class curve), but in general, not too much stress. Side note: it's honestly how YOU personally deal with stress, because ultimately you have control of yourself, even though you don't have control over situations. Hope this helped!

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Heyy tiffany!! So on top of what I mentioned in the vid, I emailed the counselor on why I wanted to go to ucd, why it was truly fit for me, and asked about how the waitlist situation works. Then, I left her my number to ask a phone call. Ultimately, it's so competitive and quite frankly I think it's kinda random, so don't worry if the results don't turn out to be in your favor. Everything will work out in the end, I promise. :)

    • @TiffanyYang0809
      @TiffanyYang0809  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      hey!! don't apologize haha :) temp cards are cards you get at the kiosk (located outside the service desk) just in case you get locked out of your dorm, you can go there to get a temporary card. i believe you get 5 for the whole school year and then you pay 15 bucks, so make sure to not lock yourself outside your dorm! another reason why i don't recommend a single, because you are responsible for your dorm haha. sorry for not making that clear in the vid!
