UC Davis 2017 Transfer Official Thread

@astrophilia Yes it’s under that! I think I’m in shock?? haha.
And oh yeah that’s probably it, I’m so crazy about my FAFSA I was constantly updating it before the deadline

you don’t have to pay back grants! @ParadoxicalFire

I am very confused as to how to understand all of the financial portions of the acceptance… you think if i stop into the financial aid office this week I can sit down and talk to someone about it??

@ParadoxicalFire From my experience you do not have to pay back grants. Scholarships and grants are lumped together as “free money.”

Got notified in email- ACCEPTED
Major: Microbiology
GPA: 3.52, 3.41 (after TAU)
TAG: UCI (might have been voided tho)
Applied To: UCD, UCLA, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, CSULB, SDSU
Accepted: UCD, UCSD, UCSB, CSULB
Denied: SDSU
Pending: UCI, UCLA

@stanufb… did u get in? Do you know anything about Fianacial aid ? I forgot to apply… can I apply now ?

Got accepted and just SIRed! I’m a EOP student and they deferred my fee!

Major: Clinical Nutrition
Transferrable GPA when I applied: 3.31
Transferrable GPA after TAU: 3.15 (Got a D in bio in fall but retaking it now)
TAG: Yes! I thought it was going to get revoked because of the D but since my major is not selective they let me off this time around.
EC: A lot (find my previous post)
IGETC: Done by Spring 2017
Prereqs: Missing two!
Applied: UCD, UCSD, UCB (The other two was just for fun because I had a fee waiver. My heart is at UCD.) SDSU, CSULB, CSUS (Also applied there because of my fee waiver. CSUS was my backup because I live in Sacramento and it was either Davis or CSUS)

Also, they made a mistake on my conditions of admissions. They said I have to receive a 3.60 or higher by the end of spring but since I TAGed I only need 3.2 I called and let them know there was something up with that and they were totally understanding and so nice about it. They were also confused on why my required GPA was so high for a non-selective major like Clinical Nutrition.

If you ever have any questions about your admissions, be sure to call them! They are so helpful and kind and more than willing to answer any questions you have.

REEEEEEEFREAKINGJECTED!!!
:frowning: saddest day known to man

Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.21 after TAU
TAG: yup but didn’t meet requirements
EC: A lot my first 2 years and part time work
IGETC: not finished but need 2 GE classes to finish it
Prereqs: FINISHED!!!

Accepted: UCR, UCSC.
Pending: UCM, UCI, UCB

I wish everyone the best and I hope all of you have back up schools (very important for transfers). If I don’t get into UCI for CS I’ll settle for UCSC which is my back up and is close to home.

ACCEPTED! (i’m in shock lol)

Major: Communications
GPA: 3.2
TAG: no
IGETC: done
Prereqs: done
Accepted: CSUN, CPP
Pending: USC

side note: can anyone tell me more about UCD’s communications program? They’re more known for sciences and agricultural area so I’m worried the communications community/classes will be lacking. Please help!

@universityforme thank you so much for your post regarding the admission conditions! I TAGged for Neuro,Physio, and Behavior and it said my GPA had to be 3.80 by the end of Spring 2017 which is odd because mine said I have to be at a 3.2 by the end of Spring too! I’ll probably call them on Monday now and ask if it’s an error, but thank you for mentioning this, I feel much better now!

Status: Waitlisted
Major: Psych
GPA: 3.67
Accepted: UCI, UCSB
Waitlisted: UCD
Pending: UCLA, Berkeley
Pre reqs: Missing one for Davis
EC: Worked for six years

How I feel right now: Bitter. Haha, I really would’ve preferred a yes or no so I could decide between UCI, UCSB, and Davis in the next couple of weeks assuming that I get rejected from UCLA and Berkeley. I’ll still visit Davis during May to check it out, then sir somewhere else…then possibly still go to Davis if I’m accepted off of the waitlist?

Accepted today!

I’m a little shocked that that each UC that has admitted me (so far) has looked pass the fact that I only have 38 units and I’m taking 22 units right now. Many of the class I’m taking are pre-reqs to my major! I’m super grateful and fortunate and I wish all you guys the best of luck!!!

One problem though. Someone help me out here…

So I was supposed to take two classes this Spring. One transferable (major class) and one non transferable gym class.

On January 30th I updated my TAU saying that I wasn’t gonna take those classes anymore.

Now on my UC application, it shows my normal schedule.

But if I go to my credits and coursework on the myAdmissions site, it shows the classes that I said I wasn’t going to take as “in progress”

This happening to anyone else?

@AdamA yes this happened to me too. On my TAU I took off a class that I ended up not taking this semester but is still on my transfer credit list, the odd thing is on the right of it it says “non-transferable” but I know 100% it is. Maybe that’s their way of showing they know I’m not enrolled in that class? Just my guess.

Admitted!
