404

<p>Just echoing what @transfer14ptl asked. Did you guys status just change? Or did you just check it? did you receive and email?</p>

405

<p>@WhiteTshirt and @transfer14ptl : i did not receive any email saying my status had changed or anything. and i just happened to check it around 6:30 (2 hours ago) and it was there, so i would probably wanna say they updated mine around 3:00 pm</p>

406

<p>@WhiteTshirt No email. Just checked on the portal and the status was changed.</p>

407

<p>So I guess that means I did not make the first batch. Bummer. I tagged hopefully i’m not declined</p>

408

<p>Don’t worry guys! There will be plenty of acceptances in the other two batches.</p>

409

<p>You think so? I’m convinced I got rejected :frowning: patience is a virtue that I do not possess. I hope I get into UCSC tonight. Not that I will go… But I could use a confidence boost. </p>

<p>Bio-engineering/chem-engineering major here, seems like I won’t be getting my decision today. I’m not sure if your major influences the timing of your acceptance/rejection status, however I have noticed that there has been only one engineering major that posted about their acceptance so far.
Anyways congrats to those who were accepted, and to those still waiting, I feel your pain :x</p>

411

<p>@JetLife i actually noticed from last years acceptances that the majority of science majors, engineering included got their decisions in the second batch, and very few science majors were in the first so no worries</p>

412

<p>@TaylorSam13 I know there are people with TAG that are not in this batch which means there are definitely tons of acceptances in the next batch. Don’t be discouraged!</p>

413

<p>Also last year tons of people got in with the other batches. </p>

414

<p>@bookham thank you! and congrats. </p>

415

<p>Does anyone know what typically goes on during their “transfer days”? I assume its an orientation of sorts but how helpful is it? will i miss any important information i can’t find by calling in or looking online? I want to make it, but theyre having it right before my finals begin.</p>
