<p>I STILL havent heard anything yet! How long are they going to take??</p>
<p>@iDizzle @ThePavin @Stressy Thanks for the words of encouragement.</p>
<p>Still waiting here. I keep checking every 2-3 days.</p>
<p>@Ylf815 Yeah, I feel you on those life circumstances. Seems like yesterday I went to San Jose State right after high school back in 97. Couldn’t hack it, dropped out, then a lot of stuff happened. Thought I had a good, stable job, a wonderful fiance, was going to get married, then lost it all. Then struggled through a bunch of crappy jobs, dealt with anxiety, and with what I found was mental illness. Then I became the caregiver for my Alzheimer’s afflicted grandpa.</p>
<p>Then about 4 years ago I went back to my local JC. Now at 34, I’m headed back to uni again. I hope all that made for a good application essay. Now that I read over it again it sounds a bit whiny. :/</p>
<p>I’m really hoping for UCSC, I also tried Cal though it’s a long shot, and I suppose it’ll prob be SJSU again. I really would like a change of scenery though.</p>
<p>The other day SJSU told me to log into their “Next Steps” site if I want to start their acceptance process, where I found my financial aid package. I found that grants will cover all my tuition and then some, though what’s left over is a little too close for comfort for living expenses, so I will probably take a small loan also. That was good to know. Still looking for a job, not holding my breath. I just got my food stamp card the other day. Heh.</p>

<p>General Comments: Yay!, accepted to UCSD and UCSC, now just waiting for UCB!</p>
<p>@ Plasmadis: Yeah you sound like you’re in good shape. My personal statement was kind of like that too(although not so intense I guess). I wrote about dropping out of college after 2 years, and years of drug abuse, and overcoming that, than climbing the corporate ladder to support my family, than getting laid off, teaching my siblings not to make the same mistakes blah blah.</p>
<p>Bottom line is that the UCs like to see transfer students with life experiences and know more than just what you can read out of a book. I mean stellar grades help, but if that’s ALL you have than you may not be what they’re looking for.</p>
<p>@Plasmadis: Dang! Those are some pretty tough adversities to overcome. Hopefully you hear back good news from UCSC so that you will get that change of scenery you’ve been hoping for! :)</p>
<p>@USN- Congratz!</p>
<p>I just checked online today at 7:00am!!! GPA 3.3 at a CCC. English major. SC is not my first choice but it is nice to read the word “congratulations” for a change. Still waiting for some other UC decisions.</p>

<p>@Kingdom. Have you heard anything yet?</p>
<p>I have still not heard anything and the wait is driving me crazy… i visited the campus over summer and really loved it here, would be pretty bummed to not get in. i have a 3.4, IGETC completed, psych major… dont know if this has to do with me applying to ucla too…just wish they would tell me already… its been over 2 weeks since the first batch!</p>
<p>@IAmSoCal: I got my package on Saturday, March 31st. I was admitted almost 3 weeks ago.</p>
<p>i was accepted and i got my package but have any of you guys been accepted into a certain major? im confused on what major i was actually accepted into</p>
<p>@ frsh24: When did you get admitted? When I first got admitted it didn’t say anything. But several days later I received an email from the dept of my major.</p>
<p>In the acceptance page they had a FAQ section and this is taken directly from that:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I should add that on the portal, if you go Main Menu > Update Major, it should say what your “proposed major” is. Mine reads: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>i’m a comp sci major so it’s pretty much either get accepted to major or it was a bust applying to ucsc with tag.</p>
<p>How do we check which UCSC college we got into? I can’t seem to find it.</p>
