Official Fall 2015 UCSB Transfer Thread.

@Levpierce I got accepted last Friday the 13th. I was in the very first batch. My major at SD is Econ : Management Science. Do not worry at all. I have 2 friends who are still waiting for SD. the same major or just only econ( B.A), their gpa are 3.86 and 3.77. So if your gpa around that you should be fine.

Starting to get kinda worried!

UC GPA: 3.94
IGETC: Yes
TAG: No
Major: Math
ECs/Awards: Next to none
Pre-reqs: All done as of Fall 2014

Is it possibly because I have almost no ECs? [which would surprise me because I was under the impression that ECs did not matter as much for transfers, much less for SB]. And does anyone know, is the date of what batch you’re in indicative of the strength of your application? (like people who got 1st batch were generally very strong applicants?) All of my classmates have gotten their decisions already. I’m worried maybe there was a mistake on my application or something.

@boy561 actually my gpa is not so great. I’m at a 3.38. My essay and EC’s were really strong though so I have some hope. I think maybe they will send a second batch later on today since its a week from the 13th. Hoping for the best!

@levpierce I wish you nothing but the best. Hate to tell you this but at UCSD they don’t read the personal statement. The counselor at my community used to work at Ucsd admission. He told me that for transfer applicants they didn’t read the personal statement. I asked that question again to another UCSD representative and she had confirmed that indeed it was correct. My counselor told me that people that were below 3.5 normally got waitlisted or rejected depending the major. Hope to hear good news from you. Good luck at least you are going somewhere. UCSB is a pretty good school

@boy561 really? if thats true thats depressing lol. well we’ll see what happens. thanks for your best wishes! I hope to get in! but yeah at least SB and SC accepted me.

@‌Chidori611

My major is econonmics and i’m taking stats this semester, few days ago i got admitted for both UCSD and UCSB. Your situation is kinda strange, maybe you should just appeal.

@LevPierce‌ don’t worry, what will come will come. We can do nothing but wait :slight_smile:

@Alitvs @TotinoPizzaBoy‌ Congrats!

I’m going to go crazy this weekend with waiting!

@kmariel‌ we are both in the same position. My decision is still pending as well

Rejected
Major: Electrical Engineering
GPA: 3.31
IGETC: Done by spring
Tag: No
Pre req: Done by Spring

It was expected I guess.

All this talk about pre reqs is making me anxious since i was rejected from Cal Poly SLO for missing one pre req.
I can see that the Engineers are now being notified.
@Severin‌ and @Manuel3‌ As an Electrical Engineering major myself, that sucks to hear that you guys didn’t get in. Hopefully you guys get in elsewhere! Good luck!

To all who are still waiting to hear (like me), I spoke to someone on the phone in the admissions department a few days ago. They told me that people are accepted based on the submission by the individual admissions officer assigned to their application. They are not doing it in batches, and it takes 24 hours to update. Decisions should appear in the late afternoon. So there is no way of knowing based on major or any other qualification. We just have to be patient! Good luck everyone.

@Mustang012 I think me, you, and the other two guys you mentioned are the only EE majors who’ve posted on this thread so far. Still haven’t heard anything from them yet, so I’m going to be anxiously waiting until Monday! I wish the best for both of us :slight_smile:

@rileyc21 do you know if decisions are released on the weekends?
