<p>Well, the time is fast approaching. UCSD has stated that Transfer decisions will be released starting this weekend and continuing on a rolling basis until April 30th. Good luck to the 15,183 Transfer applicants this year (down 11% from last year, yay!).</p>
<p>Please use this template when posting your decision, it's much more helpful than "admitted!!" to future transfers. Don't forget to remove the spaces in front of the tags! Feel free to omit certain questions/stats if you don't feel comfortable, or add whatever you feel might contribute.</p>

<p>In an effort to keep this thread a little bit cleaner, I'm going to answer some questions I saw in last years thread or what I think people might ask:</p>
<p>Where do I check my application?</p>
<p>I didn't get accepted in the first batch, am I rejected?</p>
<p>No, you have until April 30th to be accepted, and yes people do get accepted on April 30th.</p>
<p>Are TAG applications evaluated first?</p>
<p>Historically, the first the few batches have been mostly TAG applicants. Although, UCSD does say TAG's can go all the way until april.</p>
<p>Can you Chance me?</p>
<p>No, go here. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1164969-2012-transfer-chance-me-thread.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1164969-2012-transfer-chance-me-thread.html</a></p>
<p>What time does UCSD release applications?</p>
<p>Looking through last years thread it seems to be during the day, noon and on. Some people were admitted at 2pm and some kept refreshing and got in at 7pm. So, there doesn't seem to be a set time that they release the whole batch.</p>
<p>Is Warren, Muir, X, Y, Z, .... a good college? Or, I didn't get into my first choice college at UCSD, what can I do?</p>
<p>They are all great colleges, but depending upon your situation/major one might be more beneficial than the other when it comes to time 'til graduation. Although, it's usually not that big of a deal at the transfer level.</p>
<p>First, I really hope you read up on the colleges and their GE's here before you ranked them, as most people get into their first choice:
The</a> Undergraduate College System</p>
<p>If you didn't get into you first choice, you are able to ask at orientation to switch. I've heard if there is a person in the college you want to switch into that wants to switch into yours they will generally accommodate the switch. Otherwise:</p>
<p>"In practice, the overwhelming majority of students are happy with their college assignment, even if it was not their first choice originally, and few students apply to switch. Petitions to transfer between colleges are difficult to justify and approved only in exceptional cases. To qualify, you must complete your originally assigned college’s writing program, demonstrate that switching to a different college will substantially shorten your time to degree, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 with a specified number of completed units." </p>
<p>When is orientation?</p>
<p>Your college will contact you and let you know.</p>
<p>Are there any events for admitted transfer students?</p>
<p>Yes!</p>
<p>UC</a> San Diego: Admissions Events</p>
<p>If I left anything out feel free to pm me if you'd like, I have way to much free time on my hands and it was generally used bugging admissions officers at UCSD. I can probably answer it or point you in the direction of someone who can.</p>
<p>MOST IMPORTANTLY GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!</p>
