Official UC Transfer Decisions 2007

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Since UC's will finish releasing all decisions soon, creating a formatted and organized thread for all students (including inter-UC and OOS) applying to UC's should be extremely helpful for future applicants. Plus it's kind cool checking out how we all did. </p>

<p>Don't you just hate digging through giant UC threads?</p>

<p>Anyhow, here we go:</p>

<p>1. Guidelines
A. Post only if you have received ALL UC decisions. No "pending" responses. It just creates clutter.</p>

<p>B. AVOID ALL SIDE COMMENTS AND DISCUSSIONS!!! PM the individual user for personal questions, or ask the question in the discussion thread I have created specifically for this reason. </p>

<p>C. Feel free to leave spaces blank if you're lazy or if you feel the information is irrelevant. I hope to get information from everyone, even if you're too busy to fill out everything completely. Any info is better than nothing :)!!</p>
