<p>@kraka what were your stats and where did you get into?</p>
<p>I got in to UCR as a chem engineering major, and UCSC as a chemistry major. I have a 2.86 GPA, finished IGETC, done with all prereqs except 1 bio class because I didn’t know Riverside wanted bio… I had a decent amount of extracurriculars and good personal statements explaining my personal circumstances and why my GPA is so ridiculously low.</p>
<p>@BioEng, I read somewhere that they’ll release our financial aid packages by the end of April. June would be way too late considering you have to SIR by June 1 haha</p>
<p>Got in today this morning! 4/12
GPA: 3.1
Major: bio
pre reqs: i have 3/5 long term sequences done except calc which im taking over the summer
extra circs: Lots of extra circs from high school but none from last 2 years
I also went on a campus tour</p>
<p>All accepted students, I made a FB group dedicated for transfer students. Lets all join the page and get to know each other, and ask and answer questions!! Join this page: UCR Transfer Students 2013.</p>
<p>Accepted to UCR 3 days ago. Political Science Major, 3.5 GPA. Holding out for UCLA but I know that is a long shot.</p>
<p>Hey,for those who have been accepted where are you guys planning to stay. I heard the dorms fill up fast and they dont have an official transfer hall, so we are stuck with a bunch of freshmans.</p>
<p>@lemonadebox there is an official transfer hall. it’s located in Pentland hills dorms. which is suite style. and everybody is guaranteed housing your first year. I don’t know where you got your information from. lol</p>
<p>anyway, I applied to the glen mor student apartments. if not, then ill probably dorm @ Pentland or lothian residence halls. 
I know a lot about housing and UCR so if you have any more questions you can ask me
I went to highlander day this past saturday and got a tour on housing btw. did anyone else go??</p>
<p>I went! It was awesome, totally exceeded my expectations and BCOE is awesome. I really love the campus I’ve visited other schools before, but I’ve never gotten a vibe from any of them that resonated with me until I visited UCR I definitely see myself here and I’m so glad I SIRed before hearing from UCI. I feel like I belong here, haha.</p>
<p>I applied for on campus apartments, but I called the housing office last week and they said they’re full. I applied to Falkirk, Oban, and the Plaza. When I asked if there was a decent chance of getting something if I waited, the lady sounded like she wanted to say no but isn’t really supposed to -_- so I’m not really holding out hope for getting anything on campus. I’m looking into off campus apartments but I can’t sign the lease until June since my admission is based on me getting Bs in two of my classes.</p>
<p>Anyone have a financial aid packet yet??? I’m still blank on growl.</p>
<p>Nope, still nothing for me too, but the people at Highlander Day said that they should be posted any day now.</p>
<p>Growl is actually down for me right now… maybe that means something?</p>
<p>I was finally accepted to UCR today. Psh.</p>
<p>3.17, Biochemistry.</p>
<p>Congrats!!! :)</p>
<p>I got accepted today too! All my stress is finally relieved; Low GPA + no calc with econ major, so UCR was the only school I applied to.</p>
<p>I was accepted a while back in early March but am also holding out for UCLA. If I don’t get accepted there, I’m still wrestling between going to school locally at CSUN or living on my own for once at Riverside. It’s a tough choice but I also heard that Riverside is more generous with its financial aid, so that’ll definitely impact my final decision!</p>
<p>As for stats, I’m an Art History major (Art History/Religious Studies for UCR) with a 3.6 GPA, all IGETC done by the end of this Spring and no TAG.</p>
<p>@ryanbentley oh cool I didnt know that. I heard pentland is pretty expensive compared to the other dorms. I think im going to apply for east lothian or A-i. </p>
<p>Are any of you guys still waiting to hear back from other schools or did you guys sir already, Im getting kind of impatient.</p>
<p>Anyone know if I will be rescinded for dropping a math class, it isnt required for me to transfer but was recommended - last section of calculus series.</p>
<p>@lemonade call UCR and ask. they’re very helpful and could get an accurate answer for you :)</p>
<p>still waiting on FA! ugh. so far UCSC gave me a very generous package. If UCR can match it or give me more I would be super happy!!!</p>
<p>For those of you who are asking about Financial Aid awards, I just received an email stating that mine is now available (received email at 3:56pm PST). I am able to view my financial aid package under “Award Status” on the Growl.</p>
