<p>@wintergreen and others: When we say “still under review”, we are talking about the my application page that says the following:</p>
<p>Thank you for your application to UC San Diego. We are currently reviewing applications for transfer admission for the Fall 2013 quarter.</p>
<p>“At this time, we request that applicants do not submit any supplemental materials such as letters of recommendation and transcripts, since these will not be reviewed…” etc. </p>
<p>If you still see that, and you don’t see “congratulations!..” then you are still pending and under review.</p>

<p>@larinaga by the way, one of my friends asked me a question. He is an international student. It seems like that UCSD requires them to pass English Comp with a grade of B or better. But my friend got a C in English 1A.
Will UCSD reject him?</p>
<p>@tcccom, I have no idea. I wish I could be more of help. Does UCSD specifically state that it’s a requirement for international students? Maybe someone else in the forum can answer your question.</p>
otherwise, my essays were good, and I have some experience in my field already.</p>
