<p>How can you check though? You need a UCSBnetID. Even then, it says that we can’t see our unofficial award letter til March 30th anyway.</p>

<p>@Ridefixed- I was asking about sbrry7’s FAFSA comment. It seems odd that we’d be able to check our financial aid status, since you need a UCSBnetID, but you can’t get one til you’ve been admitted.</p>
<p>@ kernl, when you log into the site for your app, theres a link on the left that says “fafsa status”, when i click it, it just brings me to the page saying " your fafsa has been recieved etc"</p>
<p>My FAFSA status used to say something about it them not having received it or something to that effect. But just a few days ago it changed to “Your initial 2010-2011 FAFSA was received by the federal processor on 1/4/2010” Don’t know if it means anything though…</p>
<p>Oh neat- thanks guys. I’m so sick of seeing “Decision Pending” (In my naivete, I’ve been hoping for a web fluke, but I think they have this down), it’ll be nice to look at something else for a change.</p>
<p>Why 4PM? That is gay.</p>
<p>I think everyone’s status might have been updated to “received” or whatever.</p>
<p>Have you guys applied for housing?</p>
<p>I really hope they post transfer decisions for UC transfers tomorrow too!</p>
<p>yeah mine says received too, but 3/2/2010. LOLL</p>
<p>Mine still says Decision Pending</p>
<p>I had a quick question. If I applied to UCSB for Economics, (Previously 1 year at University of Arizona and current year at CC) I have my IGETC completed but I have not finished all my pre-recs for Econ. I have amazing ECs, good essays and around a 3.9 GPA, with a 4.0 on my IGETC. </p>
<p>Since I don’t have all my pre-reqs done, does that mean I have no chance of getting in?</p>
<p>^their talking about the FAFSA status</p>
<p>decisions should all still say pending.</p>
<p>@ Lustrous- Nah, you certainly still have a chance. Especially with that GPA. Remember- the UCs (especially UCSB) don’t necessarily get MAD that you don’t have EVERY SINGLE pre-req. After all, it means you have to take it there, which is $$$ in the bank for them. It all depends on the major and the UC (ie UCB & UCLA = super-strict), but with UCSB, there isn’t much to worry about. I am missing 3 pre-reqs for the Poli Sci-Public Service major, and I was still told I’m a shoo in.</p>
<p>Straight off the Assist website for UCSB Econ Major:</p>
<p>“Although completion of all major preparatory courses is not an admissions requirement, completion, or near completion, of these courses will help students move more efficiently toward graduation after transfer.”</p>
<p>Now I have a question- how come everyone says UCSB doesn’t look @ the essays?</p>
<p>I want to know RIGHT NOW!!! I hope we all get in :)</p>
<p>there is a link to a UC .pdf that lists which UC’s use the personal statements in their admissions process and which dont. if i recall correctly, UCB, UCLA, and UCD are the only ones that do. the other UC’s use them for borderline applicants from my understanding.</p>
<p>@Lustrous you should be fine but i think they want you to have at least Calc 1 completed, not 100% sure tho</p>
<p>Well I still have not heard back from UCSD, and that was one of my safety schools. Sigh.</p>
<p>Lustrous, if you don’t have a transferable math course, they will most likely admitt you with conditions. The condition would require you to receive a C or better in Calc 2 if thats the course you need.</p>
<p>I think I am taking the correct Math course right now, I know it works for USC, not sure if it works for the UCs.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I imagine the boards being filled with accepted to UCSB threads while I stare at the words “decision pending” until May 1st. Lets see what happens.</p>
