@Mbr131 the more active thread that doesn’t seem to be in the UC Transfer section is actually here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-davis/1799092-uc-davis-fall-2016-transfer-thread.html#latest
Anyone else with a TAG to Davis irrationally paranoid their TAG is going to be void somehow? I know I shouldn’t, but I am. Davis is my number one choice.
@boxandwhiskers I tagged Davis too, why is it your top choice just out of curiosity?
@boxandwhiskers me me me me me x10000
Paranoia is such a beautiful thing. Davis is my #1 too!!
@CATransfer2016 Why are you paranoid? I’m paranoid because my Spring schedule is slightly different than how I listed it on TAP when I submitted my TAG. I explained it in my TAU too, so I think i’m totally fine but still. I’ve heard from like 3 other Davis TAG counselors that it’s fine, and one counselor told me that if there’s an issue with it they’ll contact me and I haven’t been contacted. Even with all these things telling me that i’m cool, I don’t feel cool for some reason. But I am the type to just worry no matter what until I get an official word.
@grimmghost I love the campus, everyone I’ve met that goes there has been awesome and also loves it. It has a really good Sociology program. I like the town and I’ve always felt like I can really see myself there and it’s more of a fit for me. I’m looking for a small-town kind of thing and looking to get out of the immediate bay area for so many reasons, so going to Davis would pretty much be a dream come true.
@boxandwhiskers I’m paranoid for the same reason. Also, I freak out about everything. Explaining the schedule change in the TAU was a great idea! I wish I thought to do the same. I emailed a UC Davis transfer counselor about my concern but she didn’t seem to understand my question so I didn’t get an answer. Since it’s my favorite now, I feel like i’m at a bigger risk for something to go wrong and to be rejected lol. The classes I switched aren’t major pre-reqs and I already finished the IGETC. They’re just courses I selected to remain full-time, so i’m hoping it won’t be an issue. Knowing that you heard back from the counselors is reassuring.
Btw, great avatar. Saul Goodman is the best!
Will they release TAG decisions first? UCI started releasing their TAG acceptances today, so I’m wondering if UCD will do that too.
Very good question I’m definitely interested as well.
@CATransfer2016 I wish they would make these things clearer in the beginning, back in November, BEFORE sending in the TAG. That’s the only thing about the TAG process that kind of pisses me off, the vagueness. I know that at UCSC any schedule change for a TAG applicant is like automatic void of their TAG, which is scary. Everyone i’ve talked to FROM Davis has said it’s fine if the Spring schedule is different, so I kind of trust their word, but like I said, I’m not going to feel better until next Friday when I hear something back.
My parents don’t really understand the process and thinks i’m totally admitted and when I told them that there’s a chance that something could go wrong hypothetically they freaked out. I got into all of the State schools that I applied to, and i’m hoping that UCI can be my backup backup UC school in case something happens to my TAG. I AM SO FREAKED OUT I NEED THE WAIT TO BE OVER.
If something happens, i’ll just get Saul Goodman to be my lawyer
Also i’m probably jinxing myself so i’m just going to stop worrying about my TAG.
@boxandwhiskers okay we may or may not be the same person because I had the exact same exchange with my parents…and I’m from the bay area too! Haha. I hope the next week flies by so we can finally have some peace of mind :-SS
@CATransfer2016 Were you the one I talked to in a thread a while back that’s also from San Francisco? Maybe not, i’m not sure lol.
Since Davis TAG decisions were released all at once, i’m hoping they do the same for next week. I want to go to Picnic Day this Saturday, but I don’t think I can participate in another Davis event until I find out for sure :((
@boxandwhiskers Nah, i’m from the south bay (:
If the decisions aren’t released all at once I WILL implode. I’m hopeful they will though. I’m planning on stopping by tomorrow to at least see some friends. I also really want to catch the doxie derby haha.
Do you happen to know around what time of day their decisions are typically released? I think usually Cal and LA shoot for late afternoon/early evening but I’ve never come across the notification time for Davis. I’ve heard that SC is the only school that releases decisions at midnight but that would be cool.
We’re almost there!!!
The image of Dwight imploding with anger and anticipation is quite accurate of how we all feel about this fricking wait.
I want to see the doxie derby so bad, it looks adorable.
I have no idea what time exactly. I’m guessing either after 10 am, or around 2-3ish, or after 5pm. I wish I could take the day off.
@grimmghost the classic Jim Halpert reaction face is how I feel every time I log in to a portal and see nothing

They are released the same time that Freshman decisions are so around 4, at least that is what I got from reading past years threads
does anyone know if my TAG will be voided if I entered a wrong course. It wasn’t a pre req but was a non transferable class and I picked the class similar that was tansferablle by mistake. I have a 3.5 GPA
omg why is davis taking so long!!! the 22nd cant be here soon enough!
I’m so nervous!! I’m a CSU->CC->UC transfer so I have no idea what classes transferred over from Cal Poly and what GPA I applied with
I called UC Davis today and their automated voice message system said that they will release transfer decisions on April 22nd after 5PM, and to please check the portal around that time.
Just thought I would share this information with others because I am not a transfer student, but the message was given to me within a stream of messages while I was on hold waiting to speak to a representative.
I am sure you can hear this message yourself if you call the admissions office.
Good luck!
@UCLAFFF Thanks!
