2014 Fall UCSD Transfer Decisions Thread

<p>Wow, this is really starting today then, huh? I can’t believe it.</p>

<p>Site is still down for me as well… If they are really sending acceptances based on the TAU date, I don’t know if I’ll be getting my decision today.</p>

<p>@Cidzor they are gioing by TAU? Ugh i submited mine the first week of jan but than updated it before the deadline…so if thats true…that suck lol </p>

<p>If they’re doing it TAU, I better get in because I submitted it in the first day, haha. Though I don’t have the complete requirements so that’s a bit on the con side for me. </p>

<p>@sonic23</p>

<p>That is EXACTLY what I did! Haha</p>

<p>Ok I’m giving up for now. I’ll check back later tonight. I don’t think there’s any solid reason to assume they’re going by TAU but just to be sure, if you get accepted please include your TAU submission date. </p>

<p>Did you guys get an email with your acceptance?</p>

<p>Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected (strengths/weaknesses):</p>

<p>Let me just start of by saying that this is one of the best feelings in the world. I had a some bad experiences in high school (family and school-wise), and ended up graduating with a 2.7 GPA. I came into community college with goals in mind, and just kicked butt the whole time. I applied to transfer to USC as a sophomore transfer, but got rejected. That was my first time ever applying to college, so getting that rejection letter stung a bit, but now I’m here.</p>

<p>I believe that I was accepted for several reasons. First, I personally think that my GPA is strong, stemming from challenging classes that I took at my community college. Also, my essays were very strong. I started working on them as soon as the application became available, and worked on them until the day I submitted (november 29th). I think I had a pretty solid application overall. </p>

<p>Here’s a link to my twitter where I posted a picture of my acceptance</p>

<p>Haha congrats @telkayam! That was actually my alternative major… The portal is still down for me :frowning: </p>

<p>@telkayam - Congratualations! It’s awesome to know that now matter how you do in high school if you apply yourself in college you can get places and it’s never too late.</p>

<p>Do you mind if I ask how you got on the UCSD my app??</p>

<p>Are you guys getting emails notifying you that your application status has changed and that you should check your UCSD portal?</p>

<p>@matt4200 First off, thank you! It feels great, and yes, community college is a great opportunity to redeem yourself. </p>

<p>Pertaining to your question about the myapp, I have no idea. Right now when I log in nothing shows up, but I logged on about an hour ago and thats what came up. </p>

<p>@Cayton No emails. You just have to check the portal.</p>
