are we expecting decisions to come out tomorrow?
No, I just checked myadmissions and found out the bad news ):
I thought the completion of pre-reqs were recommended and not required? I’ve heard of people getting in with a lower GPA and uncompleted pre-reqs for psych.
Which makes me pretty upset since that means my application was crap, ruining my chances at other schools, even my back-backup, UCI.
Sorry for being pessimistic, rejections sucks.
@History2Law Congrats on getting into UCSB!!! I also get in today and my major is history as well 
anyone else still pending as a econ/acct major?
im kinda worried since so many other econ/acct majors have been accepted already.
Tag:ucsb
gpa: 3.32
all pre reqs done with 3 IP
IGETC: done
Do you think those 3 IP prereqs will ruin my chances despite the TAG?
@angled Out of curiosity, on what date did UCSB receive your TAU? If they received it on a later date compared to the other applicants, that may explain why you haven’t heard anything yet. I’m not 100% certain that there’s a correlation, but several people in last year’s thread mentioned that there was one.
@woahwhat I’m sorry to hear that. but if you’re missing recommended pre reqs and you’ve been denied with a 3.6 I have no chance…
@arandomperson1 They received mine on 2/9. No decision yet. What about you?
everyone chillax guys. just wait till aprilish, they will keep releasing in batches or weeks. its all random.
@sliceoflife24 Welp, guess there’s no correlation then… I think it was @kyle2015 who said he was accepted today, and he said his TAU was received on the same date as yours. Mine was received on February 10 and I haven’t heard anything either. The CoE decisions will generally come a bit later.
Thought I’d post my stats!
Accepted!
Major: Pre-Chemistry
GPA at time of application 3.73
Tag: No
IGETC: spring 2015
Pre-reqs: Not very many
I got in but I got a D in my calculus class over winter and I’m redoing it now =( do you guys think they’ll revoke my admission? I’m gonna call tomorrow and ask.
@beethoven69 Well the problem is, my heart believes that… but my body doesn’t. lol
@angled
You should be fine. Our stats are near identical and I got in. As long as the TAG is satisfied and the 3 IP aren’t required math/ English courses it shouldn’t make a difference.
@angled I’m an E&A major who haven’t heard back. But you’re tagged though. So you should be fine.
@sliceoflife24 and everyone else out there. Just check once per day maximum (once per week even better), its going to be some time before everyone’s page gets updated/reviewed. so… don’t stress, whatever is going to come will come. stressing over classes is bad enough, stressing over your own GPA is just silly and unproductive:) there’s a wide range of GPAs in this forum, from 3.1 - 4.0, so everyone in that range and depending on your major… you have a chance 
accounting & econ major, 4.0 gpa, still pending :(. I can’t do this !!!
Accepted!!!
Major: Physics and Statistics
GPA: 3.61
Major(s) GPA: 3.85
TAG: no
IGETC: no
Pre reqs: done
EC’s: none, work two jobs to support self through college.
Got a C+ in Modern Physics, finished all physics and calc courses
Personal Statement: strong, spent more than a month writing them
Almost all my pre reqs are from an out of state school, but I’ve lived in California long enough to
be considered a resident.
Income bracket: <$18,000 (live alone)
Honestly I think I got in from my personal statement and my meager income. I spent a LOT of time writing those essays because all the UC counselors I talked to said they’re putting more weight on them than previous years (due to increasing applicant pool).
@beethoven69 You’re right. Stressing over something unchangeable makes it worse. I guess it’s all about self-control.
ACCEPTED!
