@thehotwaffle Don’t give up yet! You seem really passionate about Marine Biology and I’m sure they can see that from your ECs. Just keep holding on, we’ll all know our decisions soon enough.
@DavisPls Thanks! That makes me feel better. Wish I knew how to be more patient ;p
@thehotwaffle No problem, I really hope you get in!
@DavisPls thank you so much! You as well! 
side note: does anyone know any good/active threads about ucsc tranfer housing?
@UCSChopefully that’s a good question about housing. My daughter is waiting to hear from UCSC and 2 other UCs and I am concerned about her finding a good housing option. I know the housing market is tight and expensive. Have you already seen this page about the university-sponsored options? https://housing.ucsc.edu/transfer/ But if you want to live off-campus in non-university sponsored housing, it would be good if there would be a place for incoming transfers to discuss possibilities. I believe there is a Facebook group once you get accepted that has a section to discuss housing also.
@spiritualgift I submitted my application on the 29th and my tau on the 15th of January

@CAtransplant i know ucsc has had housing issues in the last few years, I’m trying to jump on it asap. I found that there’s a variety of places/options to live, as a transfer I’m looking off campus not really looking for the “dorm experience.” I’ve read both postive and negative things about transfer housing so far, some say it can be really segregated from the rest of the students. However, the more I read about it, the more questions I have. So… if anyone has any insight, feel free to chime in.
Just received my acceptance email!
Hi @transfer2019stu and congratulations!!! Do you mind posting your stats and when you applied?
Also, you received an email?
@DavisPls I don’t see the regents scholarship anywhere on my admission letter, so probably not.
Accepted as a Global Economics Major! I have a 3.9 GPA with 4.0 Major GPA. Transferring as a junior. Wrote my essays on my work interning for an international non profit. Feels good that those exhausting essays did me some good in the end.
Hello everyone! Just wondering if anyone knows if we will get anything in the mail from schools that accepted us?
Im constantly checking my email and portals ?.
Good luck to everybody!
@TatianaF From the message in my UCSC portal:
“All admission decisions are posted in the portal, and admitted students are also notified with a letter sent to the current mailing address.”
I was sent a letter from SFSU, but not CSUMB or CSULB. I believe all the UC’s send letters and the CSU’s are all different?
Also, wondering if a large number of people will find out tonight because it’s the first weekday since notifications started?
@thehotwaffle I don’t think people will be hearing back tonight… I assume the next ‘batch’ of admission decisions will be sent this weekend
@TatianaF I received some packets in the mail from CSUs I was accepted to but they arrived weeks after I was accepted on the portals…so I assume it will be quite a while before you receive any packets in the mail from UCs.
@TatianaF You should receive acceptance letters about 1-3 weeks after receiving an acceptance notice 
Thank you so much!
