UC Davis Transfer 2016 Waitlist Thread

@OT1999 well I do agree with you lol, I think only a handful of us will get accepted, sadly :frowning:

Sooo did anyone that got accepted reserve their spot at orientation yet? cuz I tried to sign up and it said the transfer orientation deadline passedā€¦

Iā€™m at risk for getting my application rescinded because I received a GPA of 2.0 last semester. They were all non-major classes and I got Cā€™s in all. Do you think they will cancel my acceptance or do they usually only cancel those with Ds and Fs?

To those who havent gotten a response yet:
Is it even worth it anymore? Getting accepted at this point means that we may not even get all the classes we need and we get left with the housing units nobody else wants. What do you guys think???

@universityforme damn you have a point there. But honestly idk about you transfers but Iā€™m a freshman and Iā€™ve been lurking these forums since the beginning of May or maybe even April. Iā€™ve invested a good amount of my time researching who has gotten in and talking with people about this topic that Iā€™m not gonna back down now. Itā€™s do or die

Yeah, it would definitely be worth it to get in this year. I live in SF and I plan on commuting, so housing really isnā€™t an issue for me. I would love to take my courses at Davis this fall, however, if I donā€™t make it, Berkeley is my first choice for next fall. I will be taking 20 units this fall In order to meet Berkeleys minimum required lower division courses to transfer, I would much rather avoid taking 20 units at a CC (potentially risk compromising my gpa) and do the work in four quarters at Davis in order to transfer to Berkeley.

Like Iā€™ve mentioned, Iā€™m pretty doubtful that I will make it in this year, Iā€™ve come to terms with that. Iā€™m just shocked I made it on the wait list; my 1000 word essay is what probably got me through, because there are several errors in my app and I applied with 36 transferable units-now 50.
Iā€™m sure my GPA had something to with it also (maybe).
Despite me coming to terms with the looming rejection, Iā€™m still obsessed with learning about the candidates who made it through!
Post your credentials when you hear the news this week!

@Mbest16 I dont think UCD reads PS . Only 4-5 UCs actually reads them for transfers

@Mbest16 Only because you asked:
was accepted off the waitlist on June 9th around 4:45pm
Sociology major with 3.52gpa; I didnā€™t have my credits finished and theyā€™re letting me finish during the summer (Iā€™m taking 4units)
I know I got very lucky and am beyond grateful!

@Loyshi Apparently the length of your PS does have an impact on your overall appā€“measured by effort.

@Mbest16 I was accepted off the waitlist on June 9 @ 4:45pm
Currently a second year Statistics major with 5.58 gpa Iā€™m 2.5 units away from the 90 unit requirements so Iā€™m taking a 4 unit class over summer!

Everyone ready for that second wave!?! lmao

Iā€™m curious to see if any ones page has changedā€¦

Gosh Iā€™ve been checking in and out of this page to see if anyone else is getting off the waitlist. Just a heads up, Iā€™m a sophomore transfer and I was admitted as a Global Disease biology major and I signed up for orientation and everything. Thereā€™s been a deadline for orientation and housing applications. For those of who are still waiting, you all might not be able to attend orientation

@JustaSimpleQ Thatā€™s what I said!!! I was worried about that because the deadline for transfer orientation was June 6 .

My page hasnā€™t changed yet @Mbest16

@universityforme Yea. Some people who got admitted from the waitlist canā€™t even go to orientation because they didnā€™t sign up soon enough. I signed up and completed everything the day I got admitted (and I was at work and did it all on my phone! So itā€™s sorta on those people for not getting with it).
Anyways I feel as though if your pages donā€™t change to the ā€œunder reviewā€ then it probably isnā€™t a good sign D: Iā€™m still surprised I actually got admitted as a sophomore, I thought it was a rarity but I guess not.
But good luck to all of you guys and I truly mean it, Iā€™d be ripping my hair out if I had to wait this long :confused:

Does anyone else see this on their page: ā€œWe will notify you of our final admission decision by email and on this website no later than June 1.ā€
I donā€™t think it was June 1 initially. Iā€™m a transfer student :-t ~X(

@UCD_CS2016 my page also says that.
I updated my grades on 6-8 and every time I click to ā€œupdate my gradesā€ a message still appears stating that the changes are being processed.

If Iā€™m remembering correctly, the page initially stated ā€œafter June 1stā€ā€¦

Well it looks like decisions are not going to come out until next week or laterā€¦
