<p>Mayhaps, but UCSD doesn’t admit by major 
- you get into the school, and if there is no room in your major, you are entered as ‘undeclared’ or with a pre-major status. However, non-impacted majors don’t have caps, so you enter a non-impacted major regardless of pre-req completion. There isn’t competition in majors unless it’s impacted/has a limited number of slots.</p>
<p>Aw :-/ I forgot that UCSD doesn’t admit by major. I know I’ve said this A MILLION times but how the heck did I see people with 3.29’s get in last year without TAG? I saw more 3.3’s get in than 3.25+'s.</p>
<p>^I find those that claimed to be accepted last year with below a 3.5 extremely questionable, especially because I was told directly by an admissions officer that the non-TAG GPA cutoff was 3.8 last year. Maybe there were exceptions to the cutoff, but that’s what I was told after calling to ask why I was rejected to my non-impacted alternate.</p>
<p>^Not I. But if they are getting unusually high traffic today, they’re gunna have real problems tomorrow around noon.</p>
<p>i have a 3.29 to be exact…ill get in, I submit to a higher power than all of this who will look after me.</p>
<p>Dilapitatedmind: I also called about 3 months ago and they told me the same thing. I asked my counselor about the 3.8 cutoff and she giggled. That’s ridiculous though. If lying was ever the case, how could about 200 people with 3.3+ lie about getting accepted to UCSD without tag…it’s just absurd. Meh, guess we’ll just wait and see.</p>
<p>@dilapidatedmind</p>
<p>the cutoff was 3.8. thats ridiculous. </p>
<p>a lot of my friends got in without tag and have a GPA thats below 3.5</p>
<p>^wcwei5800: Do you remember what their GPA’s and major’s were? Maybe the 3.8 applies to certain majors and a couple of non-impacted majors.</p>

<p>some of them majored in Econ</p>
<p>wow Asphyxiac, your new gpa shows a tremendous improvement. You really worked hard and that is admirable. I’m sure you’ll be accepted to UCSD.</p>
<p>But they are international students. maybe thats the reason</p>
<p>a friend of mine got into UCSD last year with a GPA of 3.27 I believe. her major was sociology</p>
<p>^^Did she TAG?!</p>
<p>@cosmicbubble</p>
<p>Aw, thanks. I certainly hope so. Right now, I’m so nervous that I feel nauseated. I just want this semester to be over with.</p>
<p>no she didn’t TAG</p>
<p>@Chelz: I saw someone post in last year’s thread that they got accepted with a 3.27 major Sociology too and did NOT TAG. Hope.</p>
<p>@WcWei: It’s actually harder for international majors to get accepted. they need higher GPA’s the CCC applicants I believe.</p>
<p>if they don’t do by major, then how do they accept people? by gpa and igetc completion? o.o</p>
<p>@acoustickitty</p>
<p>There is always hope! Admissions last year was crazy, and we have no idea what things will be like this year until decisions start rolling in. Even if there is a hard cutoff, there are always exceptions and exceptional applicants. You really don’t know what’s going to happen until you see that acceptance/rejection page. I feel like this sort of thing is very difficult to accurately predict, and the most rational thing to do is just work hard and hope for the best. OTOH, I am also incredibly nervous (like everyone else) - and I’m finding it difficult to follow my own advice.</p>

<p>UCSD primarily accepts by GPA. So, if you’re UC eligible (7-course pattern, including 2 English + 1 Math + 60 semester units), then they look at your GPA and major pre-reqs.</p>
<p>Here is a breakdown of how they evaluate transfer apps:</p>

<p>Same here! Saaaaame here. I’m trying to stay calm…I’m trying really hard but I can’t lol! I just keep reading old threads and that gives me hope. :-)</p>
<p>I did NOT complete IGETC and won’t be completed by Spring 2012…hopefully that doesn’t work against me. Although I did personally know a couple of people get accepted without IGETC completed. STILL HOPE! LOL</p>
<p>There were some higher GPAs with TAG that got denied admission. Some of them speculated that they were accepted into Berk/LA so they were thrown out?</p>
<p>Interesting hypothesis but I’m sure it’s false. Lets also remember that there will MOST LIKELY be very little non regents/honors admits tomorrow… I really hope I get into the first batch then I can stop worrying so much about having to stay one more year here…</p>
