Official UCSB 2014 Transfer Thread

<p>hey guys, i tagged here, looking to join the international relations program! I have a 4.0 currently, I’m pretty excited!</p>

<p>Can’t wait to transfer there</p>

<p>Sociology Major 3.255 GPA </p>

<p>TAG</p>

<p>All major prep done by summer</p>

<p>IGETC Certified</p>

<p>Multiple AA’s</p>

<p>Good PS (though it only counts for financial aid at UCSB)</p>

<p>EFC of 0</p>

<p>Anything I should know before transferring that you guys have heard? Housing? Food? Financial aid? etc…</p>

<p>@Matt4200, You started this thread too early. This is going to either fall so far down the thread list that by the time the decisions come out, someone’s going to start another one, or it’s going to get so long that people will have to go through eight pages to find the end. This is why you get two or three “official decision” threads every year. I like your initiative, but it’s a little premature. </p>

<p>Almost as premature as the sex lives of UCSB students. ch chaaaa</p>

<p>Was your post premature too?</p>

<p>Haven’t you learned anything in college? Always edit your work over and over again until it’s perfect. :)</p>

<p>No but seriously, I realized it would be funnier if I used a period instead of an exclamation mark.</p>

<p>So you guys I was wondering if you could please help me out. I applied to UCSB as a biochemistry major and I submitted a TAG which was approved. I submitted my application on time and I also submitted my transfer academic upgrade during early January. The problem is that it is already the end of February and I have not received a conformation letter from UCSB yet. What should I do. I am really panicking because with my TAG UCSB is a guarantee for me, but if they do not receive my application then whats the points. I already emailed them about 10 minutes ago. Do you think I should call them as well.</p>

<p>Did you check all email and your spam folder?</p>

<p>If not then go and login to your UCSB applicants portal using your application number and you’ll see what’s up</p>

<p>@collegeman18</p>

<p>Don’t panic!! UCSB does not provide early acceptance to TAGers. You need to check your UCSB portal account to see your decision status, which they say they will not release until March 17th. Even then, you might not hear from them till the end of April. So stay patient my friend!</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many math classes we have to take once we’re at UCSB?</p>

<p>^that probably depends very highly on your major. </p>

<p>True</p>

<p>For Economics and Accounting.</p>

<p>How many?</p>

<p>I already did Statistics btw, currently taking Business Calc 1</p>

<p>Here you go Tony:
<a href=“http://my.sa.ucsb.edu/catalog/Current/Documents/2013_Majors/LS/Econ/Econ-Accounting-BA-2013.pdf”>http://my.sa.ucsb.edu/catalog/Current/Documents/2013_Majors/LS/Econ/Econ-Accounting-BA-2013.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My interest in UCSB is reignited since rent in Isla Vista is waaaaay cheaper then Westwood. Probably will go to UCSB.</p>

<p>@sega18</p>

<p>So once PSTAT is done, thats pretty much the last math class?</p>

<p>I’m thinking about switching from Econ/Accounting to Econ. Thoughts on that?</p>

<p>It says on that page that you need 2 semesters of calculus, and also stat. Then you’re done. You won’t have to take any upper division math, but you should check assist.org to make sure that your business calc sequence articulates either with Math 3A/B or Math 34A/B.</p>

<p>Do what you want to do. Econ is more about models, and math underlies economic models. If you don’t like math, then maybe you should stick to accounting. </p>

<p>Personally, I would say drop all that and major in math. But that’s just me =D</p>

<p>@sega18</p>

<p>So even if I have Stats and Business Calc completed, I still have to take ANOTHER Calculus course???</p>

<p>Why don’t you email UCSB and ask them instead of soliciting course requirements about a certain major from applicant students who are just as clueless are you are?</p>

<p>That’s what I’m saying, tony. All this info is online. You can ask a counselor, but they just read what’s online. Counselors, in my experience, are just there to help you do what you can do yourself. And paperwork. The link I gave you earlier, for example, are the course requirements for your major. If you complete those courses, and complete the university’s other graduation requirements, you can petition for your degree (paperwork). If you care about your major, maybe you want to study that pdf. I’m just saying, no one has to be clueless because all the info is right here on the internet.</p>

<p>It’s easy.</p>

<p>Truth! ^</p>
