UC Riverside 2015 Transfer Thread

@starkali‌ @NewSocio‌ Did you guys ever receive a fellowship opportunity email?

@Hiitsnaomi Ya I got it, but I didn’t apply for that Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, because I wasn’t sure yet if I was going to pursue grad school, because right now, I’m just focused on transferring and getting my degree. Once it’s my senior year, then I’d most choose.

Ahh I see
I am a sociology major too so I was just wondering if everyone within the majors listed got the same email
I wonder what time they post results

Yea, I received it as well. But, I missed the deadline.

@Hiitsnaomi‌ Do you mind sharing your stats? Have you completed all of your prerequisites?

Yeah I finished all my prerequisites for UCR at least
Currently I have a 3.19 GPA so not that much higher than you guys

Last year, my boyfriend received his acceptance notification on MyUCR just a couple days after the admission date (It was March 1st last year too, if I remember correctly. I checked every day and didn’t get my rejection notification until LATE April. Same major, about 0.3 GPA difference
So, yeah… I’m pretty anxious.

@danicabrynne Wait, so the longer we wait, the more certain it must be a rejection? Also which major was it?

@CancelOut‌ Mines a 3.02, so I definitely am on the same page. Did you TAG? I did. But, still super nervous that I may have made a mistake.

Come on UCR. Please post decisions tonight!
MyUCR says its gonna begin to release decisions today, so UCR really should do that!

Do you guys know if our decision date has anything to do with when we submitted our TAU?

It seems that the time when we submitted TAU doesn’t affect our decision. I’ve found a few posts like this and they didn’t find any relation.

@kristyalene‌ nope I’m a regular applicant. If you tagged, im sure you’re in if you met requirements

@danicabrynne‌ what was your bf’s gpa and major? & did he finish pre reqs?

@NewSocio‌ @CancelOut‌ we were both Biology majors with Neuroscience alternate major. I had a 2.97 and he had about a 3.25 I think.
He had Physics, Bio, Calculus, and Gen Chem done. I had Bio, Calc, and Gen Chem. So we both had the prereqs.
This time around I have a 3.08 GPA and I’ll also have Physics and Ochem done so, hopefully that’s enough
My GPA is a little low but it’s because I took 89 units in 2 years. Not a good idea haha

Biology majors are always competitive
A lot of people who had a GPA of about 3.7 were rejected last year
Either way good luck!

I am taking College Algebra online at Adams State University. It satisfies my IGETC at my cc. Does that mean it will satisfy the Math requirement for the UC’s as well? PS I’m super anxious awaiting my decision.

If they were rejected with a 3.7 chances are they messed up the prereqs.
Hopefully it works out this time

Is the econ major impacted at UCR?

@UCRhopeful When I went on the tour on Friday, the tour guide said there were no impacted majors and on Assist.org, it would normally say if a major was impacted or selective in a school and for UCR, it didn’t look impacted.
