<p>So according to Ms.Sun's blog, UC Davis and UCSD will have a waitlist for transfers.</p>
<p>The link: Ms</a>. Sun's UC Admissions Blog - Transfer Decision Time Line and Waitlist Information</p>
<p>And also, it says that UCI and UCSC are also considering the option..
hmmm..</p>
<p>wow they’re just making it harder for people to transfer -_-</p>
<p>a guy on the comments block is asking the same question I am wondering (how will this affect TAG students?)</p>
<p>I don’t think TAG students have to worry about it right? ):</p>
<p>haha I hope not. It’s like “You’re guaranteed in, but we don’t know if we have room for you.”</p>
<p>I believe the freshman waitlists were for people who were overqualified and were more likely to SIR to UCB or UCLA. Is this how the transfer waitlists will be? I hope so maybe then my noncompetitive GPA will have a higher chance of getting into Davis. Oh please please please. I couldn’t TAG to Davis because I was just a couple units over their max units to be qualified for TAG :(</p>
<p>Well I’ll be damned, lol. </p>
<p>I’m sure it won’t affect those with TAG. And even if it does/does not…the UC’s just ■■■■■■■ this year’s applicant pool.</p>
<p>I find the prospect of a transfer waitlist difficult to swallow. So, I called UCSD about this, spoke to an admissions officer who told me she had never heard of such a thing. She then proceeded to ask a few people, who had also not heard of it. She said it would be peculiar, since they were definitely going to hit their enrollment target (based on current “astronomical” application numbers).</p>
<p>Also, she said that UCSD had not determined their ‘hard’ GPA cutoff yet. She said that they would not be looking at extra-curricular activities or essays this year, but would do so with Fall 2012 applicants.</p>
<p>So i talked to my counselor today and she went on her email account to check if it was true that UCSD was going to do anything about the TAG students and what it will do is raise the TAG GPA from 3.0 to 3.5 for fall 2012. This was due to the high number of TAG applicants about 9000. From this number about 4,000 followed through the application process. So basically to many applicants therefore they needed to raise GPA. But in the email it said that it will not affect Fall 2011 applicants.</p>
<p>what about people who applied without tag? are they still going to accept them? or is it only tag applicants that are going to be accepted now?</p>
<p>This doesn’t necessarily make it more difficult to get in. They may be accepting people with really good GPA’s and hopefully wait-listing the Joe Schmoes with like myself with 3.4’s. The people with really good GPA’s will probably get accepted and attend better schools, so instead of rejecting the average people, they make room for us when the people they accepted don’t commit to their UC. Yeah, let’s just go with that.</p>
<p>@asphyxiac, I’m not surprised that UCSD staff doesn’t know about it. Sometimes I wonder if any of the UCs talk to each other at all (or talk to its own staff).</p>
<p>The information I got was sent out to subscribers of the UC Counselors and Advisers Bulletin, which is distributed by the UC Office of the President. From what I hear, UCOP doesn’t know what the individual UCs are doing half of the time and coordinating the campuses for anything is next to impossible.</p>
<p>I certainly hope UCSD won’t utilize the waitlist, but nothing is for certain until the decisions are out and the campus figures out what it is actually doing.</p>
<p>Ms. Sun, I apologize. It seems as though you were totally right about the waitlist for transfers thing. I mean, I don’t know if they’re going to go through with it or not, but this flyer popped up in my counselor’s office:</p>
<p><a href=“Homepage | LAPC”>Homepage | LAPC;
<p>"Waitlist as in “we like you but we are not sure if we have room, so we’ll dangle the possibility of acceptance in front of you for another month (and then crush your dreams).”</p>
<p>like a boss.</p>
<p>swaaaaaaaaag</p>
<p>I have a TAG with both of those schools and already got my acceptance from San Diego. Just waiting for Davis now. If anyone on these forums DOES end up on these waitlists, please post about it!!</p>
<p>Asphyxiac, I go to pierce too! Lol</p>

<p>Asphyxiac and rshie002, I’m at Pierce too! Well, more accurately, I am taking one class there that my own school doesn’t offer. So I guess I’m not really in the club. :(</p>
<p>@eholla you can join the club, what’re you taking?</p>
<p>Ahhh! I’ve never actually taken a class at Pierce. Too deep in the Valley for me.</p>
<p>Should have, would have, could have gone to Pierce but alas I am driving to Moorpark from Northridge everyday… :(</p>
<p>I would rather be rejected than be waitlisted. So stressful to have your hopes hanging by a thread for another few weeks.</p>
