oh yeah...newbie...if you go to
www.ucsd.edu...take the virtual tour. It's pretty cool. And if you ever want to visit UCSD for real, feel free to e-mail me and I can totally show you around...the tour guides here are so lame("And here is where the students live and here is the dining commons, this is our research lab and blah blah blah").Another thing, don't worry about your Soph year grades, universities look for improvement. When they see a positive trend in grades, they are more likely to accept you. So don't stress!
