**OFFICIAL 2013 Fall UCSB Transfer Decisions Thread**

<p>@acceptmeuc hahaha yes!!!</p>

<p>@frankbot2000 XD</p>

<p>Just got rejected today. Man, it really hurts. Anthro, 3.33 gpa, everything complete. Still waiting on Irvine, San Diego, and LA. Things aren’t looking too good for any of those schools. I really should’ve applied to Riverside or Merced… I just thought my chances at SB were REALLY good. Anyways, good luck to the rest of you guys! Really… Good luck to all of us for trying to get a damn bachelors to pursue our career goals.</p>

<p>@pumpkinbread tough break man. Sorry to hear you got denied, best of luck with the other UCs!</p>

<p>Anyone get their admission packet from UCSB yet? I’m still waiting on mine. :(</p>

<p>Decision: Rejected</p>

<p>GPA: 3.97
Major GPA: 4.0
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Prerequisites: Missing 3rd physics, statics, circuits.
IGETC: missing 1 language course.</p>

<p>Prerequisites matter. I suppose one shouldn’t expect to get in without them complete. But I’m still very upset with myself.</p>

<p>@larinaga </p>

<p>Nope! I got UCSD’s about 2 days after they accepted me online.
What is taking UCSB so long?</p>

<p>I got my UCSB packet like a week ago.</p>

<p>Decision: rejected</p>

<p>GPA 3.41</p>

<p>Major:sociology
Prereq: missing 1
IGETC: will be completed after this spring</p>

<p>EC: I was in student government for 1 year and a rep for psychology club</p>

<p>For those admitted to UCSB, i logged into My aid and they seem to have the unofficial award letter!</p>

<p>@pumpkinbread</p>

<p>It takes a special kind of courage to admit rejection on a public forum such as CC, which is probably why there are far more posts about getting admitted versus denied. Don’t ever doubt yourself. I got rejected by two CSUs a month before getting admitted to UCSB. I couldn’t even tell my own friends that I got rejected, all I’ve been talking about is transfer this, UC that. Much like you, I was scared so I added Riverside to my campus choices the day after submitting my UC app back in November. After getting admitted into SB, there was great relief but also shame that I even applied to Riverside out of fear, considering I could never see myself there. </p>

<p>Colleges may deny you an acceptance, but never let them deny you of your future success.</p>

<p>@unknowngap thanks for posting that! I checked and my unofficial aid information is available too. But I still haven’t received my packet in the mail :/</p>

<p>I still haven’t received my packet either, i think they may send them according to location. Where are you located?</p>

<p>@unknowngap, I’m in southern California. You?</p>

<p>By the way, all the admits, be sure to join our little facebook group! :)</p>
