Official UCSB 2014 Transfer Thread

<p>I got admitted on the first batch, and went to the “check my Financial aid status” page and it still says my aid is still being calculated. </p>

<p>I got my unofficial aid as well!
However, I really wanted to dorm, and I selected “on-campus” on FAFSA yet it says “off-campus” on my aid report. Is this because I’m a transfer student or perhaps the request to stay on-campus is too high?</p>

<p>@randombookie - You’re guaranteed housing on campus as a transfer student, it’s just because it was rushed and it’s unofficial.</p>

<p>@BlasieFM - What’s your unofficial package say if you don’t mine me asking for grants and Scholarships?</p>

<p>The admissions site is down today between 10am and 11:30am… hopefully they are posting more decisions!!! </p>

<p>@Matt2400

<p>@sega18</p>

<p>congrats!!
btw are u still waiting for ucla’s actuarial math also? </p>

<p>I check today and it’s still pending. Are they updating daily???</p>

<p>@oleander0918</p>

<p>Ya I’m still waiting on UCLA’s actuarial major, but I think I might attend UCSB even if I get in to LA. I’ll probably choose on the basis of living arrangements and location, since actuarial recruiters/firms care primarily about passing lots of exams, keeping a high GPA, and industry related skills (Excel/VBA, R, SAS, people skills), and not so much the name of the school you went to. </p>

<p>That said, I regret not applying to any Centers of Actuarial Excellence, like Univ. of Wisconsin at Madison, UConn, Illinois State, or University of Illinois at Urbana. Although attending these out of state unis would cost a lot more, I believe this investment might have been worth it. Maybe. Honestly, I can get the skills I need sitting in my basement and studying, minus the social skills. But there are bars for social skills.</p>

<p>Right now I’m looking at some studios in IV that seem excellent and well priced, at least from what I can find online. </p>
