**OFFICIAL 2013 Fall UCSB Transfer Decisions Thread**

<p>haha I haven’t and I don’t know why. Should I do it now or in May?</p>

<p>EDIT: I just remembered why I haven’t done it. I want to see my financial aid package first.</p>

<p>I don’t know lol I’m still waiting to hear from ucla and ucd. The reason I ask is that when I clicked on the financial aid it says newly admitted students have to send their SIR before they could see their award -____-</p>

<p>Really? waaaaa… I really don’t want to take borrow more than 25k, but let’s face it, I’m going to UCSB no matter what. ha Don’t sweat it with Davis, you’re definitely in.</p>

<p>Yeah I was like seriously? Maybe I read it wrong lol. Thanks bro I hope so. But I’d definitely go to UCSB! Choices choices… I think I liked your pic on IG haha</p>

<p>I’m glad I got accepted to UCSB because now the choice is pretty clear ha. sean? That’s definitely you.</p>

<p>Yessir haha</p>

<p>You guys couldn’t see anything for financial aid? I was accepted on the first day and I can see my fin aid package or at least the estimate of what i’ll get if I decide to go</p>

<p>Heartgirl1, I can’t get to it. When I click on it there’s like a paragraph in red that’s says</p>

<p>“ATTENTION: NEWLY ADMITTED STUDENTS FOR 2013-2014”</p>

<p>You may log in through the Admissions website to view your Unofficial Award Letter. You will not have access to My Aid Status until you have submitted your Statement of Intent to Register and signed up for a UCSB NetID and Password.</p>

<p>If you go to steps to enrollment then click on Review your options for Financial Aid you should be able to see your unofficial award letter when I go to it it says "New Applicant
Your initial 2012-2013 FAFSA was received by the federal processor on 2/16/2013. </p>

<p>Unofficial Award Letter</p>

<p>Some Tips on the Financial Aid Process" </p>

<p>The unofficial is never far off from what they end up giving you if you SIR the school</p>

<p>After depending on these forums for the past 2 years I would really like to give back and post my stats. I hope this helps any anthro majors that were in the same position as me :slight_smile:

Reflection
Strengths: Great improvement from last application cycle, more units (84 total)
Weaknesses: GPA
Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected:
I feel that I had a strong personal statement which could’ve been a large deciding factor, along with the improvement in my academic record. I went from a 3.23 in the last app cycle to a 3.47. Although it is not a high GPA I feel that this displayed ambition and perseverance which is why I was accepted. Good luck to all of you!!</p>

<p>Grats johnd54!</p>

<p>Heartgirl,
Thank you didn’t see that. I tried what you said but when I clicked on it it just says </p>

That’s it tho… ?</p>

<p>Congrats John. Same major, but I’m emphasizing in Bio</p>

<p>jrlovesseattle,</p>

<p>hmm that’s strange were you accepted on the first day of decisions? If you weren’t it might be that bc I was and it took a few days to show my fin aid estimate if you were accepted a while ago I’d call the financial aid office they’ve been really friendly & answered all my questions when I called them.</p>
