[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: To be honest, I really don’t know. I thought I had SB in the bag. I’m missing Physics, but its really common for transfers to do it their junior year. [/li][/ul]General Comments: I’m a little bitter about this. Oh well, I got into UCI with Regent’s. Hopefully, I get accepted to LA as well since I got invited to apply for Regent’s there as well…</p>
<p>What’s the link? I’m on my phone and can’t go digging for it haha</p>
<p>Join “UCSB Transfer students 2013” on Facebook fellas, congrats!!</p>
<p>Wow I can’t believe you got rejected @Kingofspades, I would definitely appeal if you want to attend UCSB.</p>
<p>I would, but I don’t I will have the time to go through the whole appeals process since I need to stay on top of my spring semester’s course load. My top choice is UCLA, and today’s decisions kind of made me feel iffy on whether or not I would get accepted since my stats aren’t nearly as great when compared to the majority of accepted LA applicants.</p>

Weaknesses: OOS student, missing 1 pre-req
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Not entirely sure what was so wrong about my application, b/c I got rejected from UCSC, too. It could be that some of my credits weren’t considered transferable, though most of them are pretty straightfoward GE classes. I’m holding my breath that I’ll get into the other schools, but it’s not looking great :/</p>

Weaknesses: Not the best GPA, no extracurriculars or work experience which is why I’m admitted as “pre-economics”.
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:Accepted because I had a solid GPA throughout my 2 years at the CC and was able to be on track and finish all the IGETC as well as my major prereqs</p>
<p>Hey guys, do any of you know if the blue and gold program goes by gross income or adjusted gross income? I can’t find any info on that on the interweb!!</p>
<p>I think it might be adjusted gross income.</p>
<p>To me it’s kind of logical to go by adjusted because its your real income after all the taxes. It it’s AGI I qualify if its not I don’t! 
</p>
<p>If it is AGI*</p>
<p>Anyone get their financial aid package yet?</p>
<p>I haven’t received anything yet.</p>
<p>Mermaker did you send your SIR yet?</p>
