** 2012 UCSD Transfer Decisions Thread **

<p>Does we has fb group!?!</p>

<p>my friends called UCSD and they said they dnt care abt when you send in your essay when i called they said its all abt gpa stacking haha i dont knw why they even make us righht an essay but anyhow has everyone turned their essay in?</p>

<p>I turned my essay in. And I believe they do that to weed out some of the “just opting in to see if I get in” people. The extra work deters them from submitting it :stuck_out_tongue: haha</p>

<p>^^ most definitely. I mean if i was an admission officer and I read someone’s essay stating “Got into UCLA my DREAM school. But I want to go 7 for 7 in acceptances” I would not put them high on the waitlist, if at all.</p>

<p>This wait is horrible!!!</p>

<p>Got the waitlist letter in the mail today</p>

<p>yay i just got my waitlist letter too. helps the wait a little :slight_smile: lol</p>

<p>I might be able to give up my admitted spot, but I won’t be declining quite yet; Gonna check out transfer day before I say no; I have a friend, a phd student, who can give me an honest tour around campus, and probably some access to the labs</p>

<p>Woot got my @ucsd.edu address, and a @berkeley.edu one until they kill it off lol.</p>

<p>Yup, it was a difficult decision but I think UCSD is better for me personally.</p>

<p>I promise to join the FB group the second they accept me :slight_smile: haha idk why people wouldn’t join.</p>

<p>people aren’t joining…probably because you have to request permission to join the group</p>

<p>oh… that sucks… then i’d say wait like a week and then start a new one</p>

<p>It would suck if you had to be approved to join that group, because on mine it shows 0 admins. </p>

<p>Probably going to have to make another.</p>

<p>@nitole hope u get in!!!</p>

<p>^ Thanks! me too! lol :)</p>
