UC Davis Transfer Fall 2018--Discussion Post

@Qazwsxomar While your GPA might be a “reach”, it’s not as far off for an econ major, compared to say a STEM major. You might have gotten in and the fact that you are in range (2.5+ GPA for any applicant) is assuring in an itself.

@Cinsix The only thing about that is that I have this irrational fear of messing up something on that page so I’ll leave it on the accept and deposit page LOL.

does anybody know the gpa they look for?

Major: Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering
GPA: Overall 3.6, transferable is about 3.7
IGETC: Done
Pre-requisites: Missing 2

I’m a little worried since I didn’t take two engineering classs from their assist. ( circuit analysis and materials science )
How bad will this affect me? I was planning on taking one of the classes during the summer if they accepted me

@dbxstian
According to https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/transfers-major the middle 50% of admits are between 3.5 and 3.8 for mechanical and aerospace so your GPA is solid. IGETC’s done so thats a plus but they strongly prefer prereqs for STEM majors over IGETC.

You need all preqres done by spring but if you’re just one or two classes short, you MIGHT be okay. Best of luck dude.

Is anyone else getting nervous? #:-S

Did anyone else just get an email from UC Davis about potentially qualifying for the regents scholarship? I didn’t fill out fafsa or anything else because I assumed I wouldn’t qualify for any aid due to my family income level. Is this something that was sent to everyone?

@ohbeebee High-five, that makes two of us. The regents scholarship does not care about your income-level. They only look at your academic and personal achievements.

@ohbeebee my boyfriend did as well (I personally did not apply to Davis). I don’t think it was sent to everyone though.

I did too, is this something everyone gets? or is it like an achievment.

Sup guys, been watching this thread for a while and decided to join in.

Got the regents email today as well. Surprised I got it since I always thought only like 4.00 students get them, but here we are.

Stats:

Major: Man Econ
UC GPA: 3.80
Tag: Missed the deadline
EC: a whole bunch, but most notable is a business club, PTK and a business honor society, tutoring, working at a bank, some volunteer public speaking at my CCC.

Hope to get to know you guys as we have only a few weeks to go for decision day. Good luck to everyone!

Also, just tried the MyBill thing and I also got in with no problems. Went to deposits and it showed Fall 2018 and residence halls. Good sign???

Got the regents email today too

Weird how UCI and UCR just gave out the regents but UCD makes you fill out an application though

Update: just logged in to my.ucdavis.edu and it let me in with no problem I can literally search for classes and view all my account info. Anyone already try this?

@jonathaanv works for me as well, it would be so cruel if we ended up getting rejected lol

@choukevin For my.ucdavis or the bill pay???

@jonathaanv for my.ucdavis, I’ll check the bill pay right now and let you know

edit: MyBill works as well

@choukevin well… idk how to feel. I want to be excited but I’m taking it with a grain of salt. Cheers, hopefully we uncovered a new glitch or something but I’d like to think we just were able to log in since we have our account info set up from the admissions portal.

@jonathaanv I think it’s a good sign - you have good stats and also received the regents email, which not everyone did. I think it might be a signal that we might be anticipating an acceptance email soon but who knows?

@choukevin hopefully. I’ll wait and see if more people can confirm what we already tried. If this is a good sign then this wait for April just got a little interesting.

@choukevin @jonathaanv I got the regents email this evening, checked my.uc davis works for me as well, not sure what this means lol.
