Official UCR Fall 2014 Transfer Thread

<p>wow lucky you, they ran out of all of those .___. @moniiique‌ </p>

<p>@drew26 how do you know? I just selected it as my 1st choice, I haven’t received any housing offers yet…</p>

<p>Well after I applied for housing, I called to see the availability and they said there were no 2 bedrooms/1bath available anymore. All that’s left are 4 bedrooms/2bath and I’m sure there are a lot of those, at least that’s what the representative told me. @moniiique‌ </p>

<p>@drew26 oh well that good to know! i wasnt dying to have a 2bedroom but sharing with 1 girl vs. 3 girls sounded a lot better. @_@</p>

<p>@drew26 it’s funny because I saw a lot of your post at the uci transfer thread. If you end up going to ucr, I think we’ll end up at the same school for the same major. I think you mention that you are going into ucr for neuroscience? </p>

<p>Yea my major is neuroscience, B.A, hoping to change it to the B.S, and cool! Are you waitlisted as well for UCI? @hypothesis‌ </p>

<p>@drew26 I was flat out rejected for uci. Which I found weird because I did a honor’s transfer program from my cc campus. </p>

<p>Yeah, UCR accepted me as B.A and I am also planning on changing it to B.S.
You sound pretty on top of things. I’m looking for campus apartment to live in right now and I’m stressing over about a place to live… </p>

<p>Do you know why you were rejected? and major for uci? And I was in the honors transfer program as well, but unfortunately it does nothing. TAG is the way to go, but I didn’t do it. Yea hopefully I do the same and change it! And I was pretty stressed out about living situation but all there is now is living with 3 other people at Glen Mors. And on campus housing give you more financial aid I guess so why not lol. I haven’t reserved an apt yet or put a deposit, because I’m still waiting on UCI in June, but it seems they wont take anybody off of the waitlist so UCR IT IS! haha @hypothesis‌ </p>

<p>@drew26 Yah, I guess it’s okay to look for a place to live later as we get closer to the fall quarter. I called housing today and they said that housing opening change everything because people cancel. They have a 1 room 1 bed room shared in the plaza available. I think rent for that is like 500 something. </p>

<p>Good luck with UCI. Keep in touch with me if you end up at riverside, Drew. :p</p>

<p>@drew26 Oh it would be funny if we are transferring from the same campus! </p>

<p>Yea for sure! And which campus? @hypothesis‌ </p>

<p>Does anyone know if it’s possible to change major?</p>

<p>You gotta call the college that you wanna change your major into</p>

<p>@JIMMYofW‌ i havent tried it but i think… if you can go to my.ucr then click the “my profile” theres a tab that says “change my major” you can select from a drop down what major you want to change it too. </p>

<p>@moniiique‌ Thank you, I actually did try the next day and it worked for me too (: Also I had a question, I applied for financial aid through fafsa but I originally submitted a different school code because I hadn’t heard from UCR yet. So I went back and made the changes for the school code and I also called the UCR financial aid office and the lady told me I’m fine and my application is considered on time since I originally applied before the deadline and am just making changes. I was wondering how much it says your getting on your award letter. My is still being processed since it wasn’t too long ago that I made the changes. I just want to have an idea of how much lol</p>

<p>Btw I will be going to transfer day this Saturday so hope to see you guys there! ;)</p>

<p>@Mellykelly29‌ it entirely depends on your EFC… but I got ~$2900 in pell grant ~$17k in UCR grant aid and about ~$9k in loans. </p>

<p>Yeah I know it depends on that I just wanted an idea because I’ve only attended community college so I had no idea what the minimum difference would be for a UC. Thank you, it was very helpful (: Do you remember how long it took for you to receive your award letter after you submitted your application through fafsa? </p>

<p>@moniiique‌ </p>

<p>@Mellykelly29‌ it also depends if you are dependent or an independent student. I’m independent. Last year when I was dependent I only received 4k in loans so hopefully you hear back soon. Well I’m not too sure when I was accepted to ucr but I received an email may 8th I had a financial aid offer and that’s when I seen I was admitted. I believe it shouldn’t be too long since you are admitted already maybe 2 weeks. My brother just got accepted to ucsd and is waiting for his offer as well.</p>
