UC Santa Cruz Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Santa Cruz claims they send out denials at the same time as the acceptances. Has anyone been denied yet? I fail to see that this is an accurate claim by them.

@BE3ZY219‌ thank you!! :slight_smile:
@basAlbus‌ I’ve seen freshman get denials and wait listed but I’m not sure about transfers

I am an out of state student at a California CC waiting to hear back, but am still unclear how the GPA works out here. When y’all are posting your GPA’s, are these UC transferable GPA’s? I have about a 3.6-3.8 UC transferable GPA, but closer to a 3.2 cumulative GPA because of a horrible first semester due to medical problems at another four year university. Was wondering if they consider the UC GPA more than the cumulative? Psychology major.

@TrsCak6613 I think they were transfers as well.
@BE3ZY219 I also just want to find out already!!

Congrats!!! @Vivi182

@somesing I posted my cumulative GPA because I have no clue how to calculate a UC gpa :neutral_face:
@jonuni94‌ thank you!!! (:

@somesing‌ , I’m pretty sure they calculate based on your transferrable classes only.

Thanks for the info everyone. Crossing my fingers I have what it takes!

Congrats to everyone who got in so far!

Good luck everyone!!

How did you jump from a 2.46 to a 3.49 in a semester? How many units did you take last semester?

@starkali It’s possible that they got Academic Renewal for several failing grades they received in the past.

Awwww now I’m getting nervous. I’m an Anthro major. Still nothing.
Gpa: 3.45 combo of ccc and a uni for one year.

Didn’t mean to send that yet.
My ccc gpa without the previous uni is a 3.8. The uni was 7 years ago.
Applied: ucb, ucla, ucd, ucsd, ucsb, ucsc
Accepted: ucsb
Waiting on the rest.
Now that I know someone is in at ucsc for Anthro im a little worried.
Also does anyone know if I should just wait for an email or should I still check online every 6 hours

@starkali I did it over the course of fall and winter. Retook 4 Failed classes, got all A’s, 12 units total. Then in winter, I took another 3 unit class and raised it up from 3.46 to 3.49 :smile: super proud of that!!

@solagish Your stats look excellent. You have a significantly higher GPA than me. UCSC has a very high transfer admit rate. I would not be worried if I were you! In fact, I’m still waiting on UCSB. If you got in there, I’m sure you’ll make it in to Santa Cruz.
