Did anybody else get the email about the UC Davis Transfer Weekend. I really want to attend, but was placed on a waitlist. Praying it’s a yes :slight_smile:

@animalscience1 I’m an admitted student and I got invited too! I registered and really hope I get a spot! The fact that they pay for airfare is awesome, I wouldn’t be able to go visit campus otherwise!

@animalscience1 I am on the waitlist too and didnt get an email… when did you get it?

@hailey111 I signed up like an hour ago and received the confirmation right afterwards. It says " Thank you for your interest in Aggie Transfer Weekend departing from LAX. Please be patient as we confirm event capacity. You will receive email notification of your registration or, if the event is full, notification of you status on our waitlist".

@ilovemydog2019 yes!! They’re offering to pay for lodging and food too! This is an amazing opportunity. I requested the days off of work even though they were expecting me those days. Oh well lol I can’t pass this up! I completely agree with you. I live in SoCal so I was stressing about finding a way to travel there. Driving seems like a hassle so this is perfect !

I got an email about transfer day on 5/10 which is a Friday and I have a calc test. Does anyone know if that’s the same thing as transfer weekend?

@queen_ofthenorth I asked myself the same question since I got the email about " Transfer Decision Day" as well but I think they’re different. It says “Aggie Transfer Weekend” is for students from Southern California

@animalscience1 @queen_ofthenorth Oh did you guys accept waitlist offer? I haven’t yet maybe that’s why I didnt get it…

@animalscience1 @queen_ofthenorth but I also live 40 min away from UCD so it wouldn’t make sense for me to get the invite I guess right?

Is there any priority regarding how soon I opt-in to the waitlist? I’ve been giving my waitlist essay some time so I can ensure that I answer the prompt adequately. I don’t want to rush but is it better to submit it sooner rather than later? The UC Davis waitlist FAQ site says they don’t rank anyone on the waitlist but I just want to be sure.

I was admitted but I live a couple hours away so that makes sense! Sb’s transfer decision day is the same day, I think, but I can’t go to either :frowning:

sorry if I’ve been confusing, it’s hard to explain things online. I’m an admitted student. I SIR’d already and I’m from So-Cal so that might be why I received the email about the transfer weekend. They said the event is impacted so theres a waitlist. @hailey111

@animalscience1 I received that email too! I’m on the waitlist for the event and really hope I get off because the event seems fun lol. I was invited to “African American transfer welcome” though

Out of all the UCs I have been admitted to, UCD has been the most welcoming.

@ilovemydog2019 same! UCD and UCSB have both offered me free hotels and stuff like that but I live in SoCal less than an hour from Irvine so I’m leaning towards UCI

@africangirl97 that’s awesome! I’m really excited to start joining clubs and getting involved with their community. When I visited the campus seemed so active :slight_smile: I agree with @ilovemydog2019
They’re definitely putting in effort to reach out to us and make the transition easier !

I got an email about registering for The transfer day but it doesn’t mention anything about it being an overnight event/paying for travel and lodging. I live in riverside county, so over 7 hours away, I’m confused as to why I wouldn’t be invited to the transfer weekend?

ohhh okay i feel better now!!

@tinedancer okay now I’m more confused. How weird. Maybe you’ll receive it soon?
