<p>I did a random check and just got my acceptance yesterday…along with my financial aid award today :)</p>
<p>I’m still pending.</p>
<p>@Insert what is your gpa and did you have any prereqs missing? I got into electrical engineering with a 3.5 and one prereq missing</p>
<p>still pending…3.4 gpa no tag</p>
<p>@eager2go I didn’t tag either and got in. I’m sure you’ll hear soon.</p>
<p>Still haven’t heard. </p>
<p>I’m getting worried, as UCI was my fallback if I didn’t get in to UCSD. At this point I’ve only gotten into UCR, which I REALLY do not want to go to. :(</p>
<p>Pending everyday. I’m getting tired of checking, I keep telling myself I’d do everything on the 30th but I just can’t stop.</p>
<p>Can we just fast forward already and move on with our lives? Hahahaha</p>
<p>I am with you Grimes99.</p>
<p>UCI is my fall back as UCSD and UCLA are my 1st choices. Haven’t heard back from any, really stressing out and turning 21 in a week doesn’t help either. :/</p>
<p>Ugh I hear ya man.</p>
<p>I live about 20 minutes north of UCSD and I’m about to drive down there and choke the answer out of an admissions officer!</p>
<p>I’m seriously on the verge of starting to write my appeals right now.</p>
<p>I wanted to do that today but I am stuck at work til 6 … and well I am 2 hours away. Ek.</p>
<p>UGHHH… I already looked up the appeals process and the methods in about doing so. Why can’t they just tell us what are status already. I know they are done cause it would incredibly stupid for them to wait to evaluate our application until now.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m in class right now, but I’m seriously contemplating driving down and seeing what I can get out of them… which means I’ll probably end up doing it. I’m out of class at 12. </p>
<p>Yeah if I’ve already been evaluted, why not just reject me already?!</p>
<p>If you do, please tell me what you find out. </p>
<p>God, I am about to spam called them to make them give me an answer. It is torture to make you wait this whole time when they know already that they are going to reject you. At least be decent like UCSB and tell you are rejected immediately after they evaluate your application.</p>
<p>Seriously!</p>
<p>And yeah I’ll definitely pass on any info I find out. What’s your major/GPA/IGETC/TAG status?</p>
<p>Well I am a little relieved that I haven’t heard back about any rejections but it doesn’t help either. </p>
<p>My stats are
Communications @UCSB & UCSD, Media Studies @UCI, Women’s Studies @UCLA (Really wanted Socio but my counselor said I would be flat out rejected)
GPA: 3.07
IGETC: Completed
TAG: YES, but not TAP</p>
<p>How about you?</p>
<p>haha we’re virtually identical, except I don’t have TAG</p>
<p>Political science
GPA: 3.03
IGETC: Completed
TAG: nope 
had my counselor informed me that I needed to have my math completed in the fall, I would have qualified for TAG, but alas I’m taking math right now, thus disqualifying me for TAG.</p>
<p>That’s horrible! Did you take Stats cause that should have qualified you for TAG. Hmmm… I heard though that after reviewing your application, if you still qualify as a TAG student they would include you as a TAG student. Hmmm… hunt them done!</p>
<p>I didn’t take stats because the “plan” my counselor put me on had my taking math 60 in the fall of 09 and college algebra (the one I need for transfer) in spring of 2010, which is what I’m doing right now. </p>
<p>Seriously as soon as the 2nd counselor explained this to me I nearly crapped a brick. I don’t know if I’ve ever been so bummed in my life. I hadn’t even look at another school because for the previous 10 months I’d been assuming that I was a guarantee at UCSD. Plus, I messed around my first couple semesters at CC and killed my GPA, then I busted my butt in order to get up to a 3.0 and qualify for TAG, only to have the rug pulled out from under me. I’m really really hoping I get in though man :(</p>
<p>Also, I just got back from the UCSD admissions office.</p>
<p>She said they JUST finished reviewing all transfer applicants today and decisions should be posted by next Friday at the absolute latest, but probably before that. </p>
<p>She gave out the figure of “9,000” for the amount of transfer applicants, but she said it in passing so I’m not sure if it was accurate or just a random number. I should have asked her specifically, but forgot. </p>
<p>I asked her about having a 3.0 without TAG and she basically gave me the “you’re effed” loook without saying I’m effed. So basically, I’m pretty much effed.</p>
<p>I asked her about you with a 3.0 for comm WITH a TAG and she said you should be fine.</p>
<p>She said the first batch of UCSD admits was all high-GPA (3.8ish) transfers, the second batch was mostly mid-level GPA and some TAG, and the last batch will be the rest of the TAG applicants and the lower GPA people.</p>
<p>I think you’re fine dude.</p>
<p>That’s about all I got out of her though.</p>
<p>Edit: She also stated that the minimum GPA floor, which was at a 3.0 last year, will probably go up, but she didn’t know to what (if you’re on TAG, this doesn’t matter, obviously since 3.0 is the minimum)</p>
<p>Man, I am so sorry to hear that your first counselor gave you such bad advice. Why did your first counselor advised you to take Math 60? What course is it? She should have had you take Stats cause its an easy course that can get your math requirement checked off for math while you take the remaining math courses during spring and summer. </p>
<p>Anyways, I understand your pain. I thought I was going to transfer last year but my counselor screwed me over when he was unavailable to meet with you since he was fully booked to meet with others. I was forced to meet with some other clueless counselor who directed me to take a 3-set course load that was “scholars” courses. Needless to say, I did poorly but I have somewhat made it up with 3.5 & 3.75 in the past semesters.</p>
<p>As for admissions, OMG. I can’t believe you got so much out from her even though her information maybe tentative. 9,000 is alot of applicants when they have already mailed out acceptances to TAG students.</p>
<p>I am somewhat overjoyed to hear that I might be in the clear but I would really love to know that I got in now than later.</p>
<p>But I don’t think you are effed cause I have a feeling that as long you have a 3.0, you will get in like the years before. </p>
<p>I tried several times calling the admission office to get some type of answers from them. First time, they said, if something is wrong with your application, they would directly contact you through email/phone/application status site. She said nothing was wrong with my app. Second time I called, admissions said that all decisions will be released by the end and everything is on a rolling bases (DURRR). And the last time I called, (she remembers me … EKK) that there is nothing to panick about as you will hear within days and that they are still sending out acceptances. UGH. Compared to your finding, mine was complete regurgitated poo. LOL</p>
<p>Dude, I didn’t plan on a back-up plan if I don’t get into any UCs. :(</p>
<p>Well the reason I had to take math 60 is because that was the pre-req for 110 (college Algebra) and it was the highest I placed on the placement exam. So basically I took 60 in order to get into 110, which satisfied the UC math requirement. But yeah man, I set my appointment to go get everything taken care of with the TAG and the new counselor was like “umm, you’re not going to be eligible.” I was like… WHAT?! Sooooo bummed. The worst part is that I’m going to end up with an A in both math 60 and math 110, but just because I didn’t finish 110 in the fall it won’t count towards TAG. Lame.</p>
<p>And yeah I’m in the same boat as far as having to recover my GPA. That’s partially what makes this so rough. I dedicated myself 2 years ago to getting my GPA up to a 3.0 (this was back when the TAG requirement was a 2.8) and I did exactly that… only to get hit with a technicality. I haven’t even visited UCI/UCR and those were the only other two realistic campuses I applied to (and I’ve only gotten into UCR.) </p>
<p>Yeah in all honesty I think you’re fine. She didn’t even hesitate when I asked. I think the reason you haven’t heard yet is because you’re in TAG and you have a lower GPA, which puts you in the back of the back of the admit process. </p>
<p>Plus I totally bamboozled them when I went in there. I knew that if I told them I wanted to see a counselor about admission decisions the front desk lady would have given me the standard line and shooed me out the door, so I made up some bs about needing to ask questions for the summer classes and got a counselor instead 
</p>
<p>And thanks! Really REALLY hoping I get in. The worst part about all of this is that I haven’t heard back from UCI either, and that was my backup school. My backup to my backup, which I wasn’t even serious about at all, is UCR. They’ve accepted me, but that’s like hooking up with a prostitute and then acting like you’ve accomplished something. </p>
<p>You’re TAG, you’ll be fine man.</p>
<p>still pending…
not giving lots of hope in UCB so UCI will be the only UC offer I am waiting for…(got SD and davis)
only 10 days left i guess?</p>
