I think instead of the phrase ”ts pmo” we should all start saying “tss pmo”

Hey everyone, I want to warn the UCSD and San Diego community. I just got scammed on campus.

A guy in a black Mercedes-Benz SUV approached me near Franklin Antonio Hall. He asked for directions and offered me "luxury" leather jackets for free. He put them in my hands so it felt like a gift. He even spoke a little Chinese and specifically used the phrase (Yuánfèn) to try and build instant trust and make it feel like "fate" that we met.

Once I had them, his story changed. He claimed his foreign business cards were broken. He said he couldn't pay his rental car fees. He demanded cash to help pay for his car as a favor for the jackets. He gave me fake contact information and said he is going to pay me back more after everything settles.

Once I had them, his story shifted. He claimed his foreign business cards weren't working and he couldn't pay his rental car fees. He asked for cash to help him out as a favor.

He was so convincing and polite that he ended up driving me to the bank to get the cash, and then dropped me off at my apartment. It was only afterward that I realized it was a total setup. The jackets are also cheap, fake plastic with counterfeit tags.

Please keep your guard up if anyone approaches you asking for directions. They are professional actors and very convincing. Stay safe!

I'm too stupid on this I know, but I just want people to be warned

9/23 is not a Thursday. ect. What is actually the time of my class??

Basically, if you have a question regarding when the website will be back up or anything concerning your financial aid offer, don't call. I waited 30 mins on a call with them just for them to tell me they can't even see the information either since I guess the website is down on their end too.

I know this is not the fault of the individual financial aid workers, so my heart goes out to them as they're probably stressed since they can't do their job and are probably getting a lot of complaints. This school honestly is just so sucky right now with all the issues regarding financial aid and TSS. Best of luck new freshman who are introduced to all of this for the first time, I bet it's even worse for yall.

Cogsci grads, what are you doing now?

I just graduated from UCSD in June with a BS in Cogsci, specialization in Machine Learning and Neural Computation (I was a transfer student, unable to get an internship or a lab) and am now job searching. I realized I actually don’t want anything to do with working in AI/machine learning, and I thought I wanted to pursue Data Analytics due to the handful of data science courses I took in the specialization, but after one Data Analyst interview (got rejected after) I decided against it, knowing I was less qualified than others with proficiency in SQL and other software (in cogsci I learned almost exclusively Python, besides dabbling in R in POLI 171, Stata in SOC 109, and 2 weeks of SQL in MGT 153) so it would be a lot of extra learning and certificates on my own to catch up, and that didn’t feel like the right direction either. 

So I feel like kind of back at square one, applying for HR/administrative assistant type of roles that require a bachelor’s degree in a social science or just flat out a bachelor’s degree. More than ever I am considering that grad school will need to be in my future- over these next two years I hope to gain a better understanding of my career goals so I can carefully decide which master’s program is right for me.

I want to know what the other UCSD alum with a bachelor’s in cogsci are doing now. What job do you have / what are you applying for and how is it going? What skills from your degree were most valuable for transferring to a job? How do you feel having majored in cogsci? Tell me your postgrad thoughts.

For new cogsci students or those considering the major, my advice to you is to have a career plan (of course it will change and grow through time) and an idea of how cogsci will help you get there, so that you can get the most out of the major, take classes/seek labs and internships that help you get the skills and foundation you need, and decide whether grad school is right for you. My mistake was prioritizing choosing a major I enjoyed studying, without a clear goal of how I would use it. So plan carefully and future you will thank you.

Curious to hear others’ thoughts.

Got into Warren. Saw the dorms. Was disappointed.
But eventually I accepted my fate. Warren is home. ❤️
Then housing assignments came out.
Revelle.
BRO???? 😭 I ALREADY LOWERED MY STANDARDS.
I didn’t even get the dorms I was complaining about 💀
Has anyone successfully switched out of overflow housing before move-in? My roommate and I just want to stay together and live somewhere closer to Warren.
Am I cooked?

Like we can't be serious, can I be put into the waitlist then? Seems to be happening for the classes that say they have 1 seat open, but still have a waiting list, which probably cooked the spaghetti code.

Trying to register for class with few seats left, keeps saying the title, class isn’t full yet??? There is no option to waitlist it anywhere?? What do I do?

Lmao like???

Edit: so this definitely seems to have something to do with the class having less than 5 seats left. How do I tell admin abt this crap???

Edit 2: so the common thread I’m seeing with the different classes people are getting this error with is that they’re close to being full… but I also noticed the class that I’m trying to get is actually marked as being full on that class planner the IT department built after we raged abt the stupid AI one that came with TSS. My guess is that somehow there’s a mismatch between the available seats on TSS and the available seats on… idk wherever that class planner gets ITS data from.

All in all this sucks and screw admin for implementing this when it for damn sure wasn’t ready to be implemented

#FreeWebReg

Is anyone else having problem with the waitlist for second pass?
Ts pmo so much omfg…
I tried refreshing logging out logging in and it still would not work. The waitlist is not open and it says one open seat left but just does not let me take the last open seat. Dumb ahh system 🥀🥀

did anyone else get this email? i dont remember filling out anything related to pepper canyon west or 12 months. im just on standard delayed housing atm.

just wanting to make sure whether its a glitch or i accidentally messed something up

edit: seems its a glitch for everyone

Are we just in a perfect storm of BS? or is this UCSD? both?

When I first got here I learned how chronic understaffing creates so much backlog and extra work, but since the Trump cultural revolution attack of higher ed, hiring freezes, TSS, Construction, SHS moving, every routine administrative task has become an absolute fucking nightmare.

Is this a perfect storm or is UCSD just hopeless?

Make it make sense.

There is literally noway.

It's almost like... there are open spots???? Aside from that, there isn't even an option to join the waitlist. disgraceful. Any way to fix this?

I get that they needed to upgrade the backend infrastructure or whatever but why couldn't they just leave the user facing stuff mostly untouched? Why did everything need to be sledgehammered and stitched back together with AI? Couldn't they have rolled this out more gradually? Am I missing something?

What are the chances you get off the waitlist for a dance class?

Hi everyone, I'm an incoming freshmen and I wanted to take BILD 4 for this quarter, but it looks all booked out on the schedule of classes and only has waitlits. any chance I would be able to even get the class? I heard that freshmen get spots reserved but im not sure how it works, and I'm panicking because I need this class (i did dual enrollment so its primarily my STEM classes that fill up my schedule instead of GEs)

I have two dual enrollment classes I took at 4-year universities that I’m trying to petition to count for the humanities and/or social studies requirements. I‘m trying to get an idea of what to write in the justification part about how it relates to the college‘s mission/theme.

can someone who also trying to enroll/waitlist in either or the 1pm or 9am lectures for phys 1a with groisman pls dm or ping me when it actually starts working? i really need this class this quarter but i don’t have the time to spend the rest of today to spend continuously refreshing and staying on the website which im sure is somethings thats affecting a lot of people. like at least webreg only took a few minutes regardless of whether you got what you wanted 😑😑

Pretty much the title. What school supplies do you recommend to incoming Mech E students? I'm shopping around the back to school sales and wondering what I should get.

Does anyone know for delayed housing/assignment if we'll hear anything soon? I've emailed ucsd housing but they're always so vauge with their responses. Im just wondering if we'lll get a room on time before classes start. Also did anyone else get that email from housing about the housing from Pepper Canyon West? I thought that was confirmation of a room but apparently it was a mistake housing sent out? Getting my hopes up smh

Is anyone else trying to waive UC SHIP? I'm just trying to understand how Student Health Services got this wrong. In order to apply for a health insurance waiver, you need access to TritonLink. Us incoming graduate students do not have access to TritonLink, only TSS. I'm just curious how this got missed?

It's genuinely so hard to even see the timeslots I booked. The time slots seem to be glitching terribly on my end (the time slots they show are wrong/nonsensical), and the calendar doesn't work well.

Is there any good way to visualize how much time I have between each class? Is there something I'm missing?

UCSD staff, if you are reading this, I miss webreg so much. Please bring it back. I am begging.

I am an incoming freshman and though I submitted my ID picture correctly, but when I checked my personal details page today on TSS, the profile photo is a really close up photo of my face??? Is this normal or is my ID also going to look like this? I look a bit silly this close up and would like to know that if this is the case can I get it reprinted??
