UC admissions: early vs. late

Transfer Students
1

<p>This info came from my friend. I really can't verify this.</p>

<p>Basically, she told me that for those who got notice earlier (I am still pending), some of them got in and some of them did get rejected.</p>

<p>So, it's not a "we take the good one first then reject all that's left" deal. This eased my worry considerablly.</p>

<p>Do you guys have any idea about the ORDER of admission? Why are some people got notice first. Is it because of their name, major, etc?</p>

<p>Inputs would be helpful.</p>

<p>i think by majors</p>

<p>It's generally by major. Definitely at UCLA, not sure about other schools. </p>

<p>San Diego has me thoroughly confused right now. </p>

<p>Seems it was by major at SB, but not entirely as UCLA. LA sends out rolling admissions with everyone in a certain major being told at the same time, while santa barbara took over a week for people in the same major. </p>

<p>It definitely varies by the school.</p>

<p>i'm a history major and i havent heard from sb yet... while other people on this board have yet already ben accepted. the simple fact is this; some applications stand out-- accpetance easy and some are not even qualified to transfer-- easy decisions, but there are a large bulk that can go either way. i'm sure the schools take time and consider everything..it's not some magical process, i even doubt it if it's ordered by major and such. those of us in the big maybe pile.. it's ok... atleast we havent been thrown into the trashcan---we're just as much alive as anyone else!</p>
