<p>I just checked my status for UCSB as a transfer and I was rejected with the following stats?</p>
<p>Psych major
3.92 GPA
all pre-reqs completed
great HS academics
pretty good essays</p>
<p>Whats going on??? im trippin out this was my safety school..</p>
<p>did you TAG?</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I got in with a 3.5-3.6ish GPA and OK essays.</p>
<p>figure out a solid reason to appeal.</p>
<p>also, did you complete all/most of your prereqs?</p>
<p>That’s weird. Now I wonder why I got in</p>
<p>no i didnt tag because i did two years in one year.
i rechecked the requirements and ends up UCSB requires Calculus for psych which i did not fulfill.
They want CALCULUS??
sigh- is this the reason for rejection despite high stats??</p>
<p>did you complete calculus requirement?</p>
<p>i did. my GPA was low 3’s</p>
<p>that explains it…i think. i only did stats. they want CALC?? thats really weird- ucla and ucb only require statistics…</p>
<p>im still surprised you didnt get in with such a high gpa. you should appeal. are you on quarter system-- can you take calc next quarter?</p>
<p>er, i just realized youll probably get in a superior school</p>
<p>I heard ucsb without calc is auto reject</p>
<p>but you should email or call them to find out what was the reason</p>
<p>okayy that does make sense. i just wanted to know why. thanks for the help!</p>
<p>Send in an appeal saying you had the course planned for summer but didn’t list it. If you get into LA or Berk, you can ignore it… if you don’t… well you aren’t ****ed</p>
<p>Are you an international, out of state or 4 year uni transfer (CSU - UC, UC - UC etc) ? That may be another reason.</p>
<p>Instead of straight Calc, you could also take (if for some reason you have to in the future) Calculus for Business, Life Sciences, and Social Sciences I. It’s like stats on steroids.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear you didn’t get in! 
Hold your head up! You met Cal and LA’s pre-reqs!</p>
<p>@OP Do you meet the unit requirements? IGETC?</p>
<p>you’ll get into both Cal and UCLA… don’t worry about SB. if anything, feel glad about your spot going to some lesser candidate who doesn’t have a prayer for acceptance to schools at which you’re a shoe in.</p>
<p>ur lack of a calc class may not have been the reason, becuz if you check the UCSB articulation, they say “as many as possible” (for pre-reqs), so techincally calc is required to transfer, there was prolly something else.</p>
<p>^if “calc is required to transfer” then shouldn’t the “lack of a calc class” be the reason that op got rejected?
or did you mean that calc is NOT required to transfer…?</p>
<p>maybe not enough units?</p>
