Official Fall 2015 UCSB Transfer Thread.

Accepted haha. First uc acceptance and i’m feeling awesome xD

Great Job to those that got in!!

For those that did not…keep your heads up man! Still plenty more UCs to release decisions and i’m sure you’ll get into ucsd, uc davis, uc irvine, ucla, or uc berkeley!

Just keep pushing and working hard everyone…it WILL pay off…trust me i’ve been on the rejection end before. But i never gave up…and now i’ve FINALLY made it into a UC…

Congrats to everyone accepted! The wait game continues for me

Damn Im still waiting. Any poli sci majors get admitted?

@showmom858‌ She’ll get in don’t worry! I think its just the majority of people with TAG first

ACCEPTED!
GPA: 3.3
TAG: Yes
IGETC: this spring
Major: Pre Econ & Acct

Judging by the stellar gpa’s of others in my major, there’s no doubt in my mind that it was the TAG that got me in. Good job to all who were accepted and good luck for those who don’t know yet!

@kyle2015‌ Wow I literally just saw your response! Thank you so much for being so thorough - I totally agree with you! It’s a scary position to be in, especially because I’m leaving a lot behind. Regardless, I feel like it’s a leap that will prove to be worth it. Did you get in? I just got my acceptance about an hour ago. I’m over the moon right now!

-Just realized this is super late. I’m so not college confidential savvy. Sorry!

@Salmanthgr8‌ You totally just wrapped it up! It’s a difficult leap to just leave everything behind and start over in a city where nothing/no one is familiar to you. You’re lucky that you know a few people in SB, I guarantee you that will end up easing your transition. Hope you got in! :slight_smile:

@TeddyPicker‌ is your profile picture of Giroud?

Did any pre biology majors get in?

The server is exploding… lol I can’t even get in

@h95130f‌ lol yes i got in! And it feels more than great. I was having dreams all night about my ucsb decisions man haha. xD

But yeah i just wanted everyone to know that getting rejected dosen’t mean that they’ve failed…it’s a stepping stone to work harder and don’t let this setback be a point that halts their future success.

Good luck on your other UCs as well man! :smiley:

I may already be locked for ucsb!!!

@BCtoSB‌ nice to see your acceptance as i knew you’d get in dude :smile:

@lyonsbot‌ Hey, yeah I’d have to take calculus there. I would advise you to try your best and stick it through! Since I’m assuming it’s going to be a lot harder taking it in SB than a cc. If you decide to drop it you have to notify the admissions office about it, and it can jeopardize your admission. You can read more about it by clicking on the “conditions of admission” tab on the portal.

@kyle2015‌
Thanks a lot buddy! I was almost certain I’d be rejected but the TAG really saved me lol
I can’t stress enough how valuable the TAG is.

Ugh I’m till pending :((

I’m considering turning down SB if I get in just for making me wait. Like I don’t have enough stress right now as it is…
