You sound pretty qualified to me! An internship at a UCLA research lab is goals af. Why didn’t you TAG? @bveiseh

So what is the admission timeline going to look like? Like how many people will be notified next tuesday, and at what rate do admission start rolling out?

@UCLAorUCBTRNSFR It seemed like a large bulk were on Tuesday but people continued to find out daily after that.

Has anyone’s financial aid status changed to received?

@enpz45 Mine has. Does that mean anything?

Probably not. Just seeing if that was a recent change for everyone. It’s them probably getting the systems ready for Tuesday.

Mine has as well! Pretty exciting. @enpz45

It is…UCSB is in my top three so hearing from them on Tuesday will be the first school I’d like to go to I hear from. It is cool to see they have started the process in the system. @doihaveashot2016

Yo everyone, I just got an email from the transfer center at my CCC saying, “effective Tuesday, March 21st at 3:00 pm through May 1st, UCSB will begin releasing admission decisions on a rolling basis”.

@enpz45 UCSB would be in my top three too if it wasn’t so close to home for me. It’s such a nice campus, though. I’ve seen your stats and you have a really good GPA. I’d be very surprised if you didn’t get in.

@doihaveashot2016 We will see, thanks for the backing! Have you heard from any schools yet?

Not yet! UCSB will probably be the first I hear back from. I submitted a TAG to Davis and they accepted it, but that’s not exactly an acceptance. Have you heard from other schools that you wouldn’t really like to go to? @enpz45

@doihaveashot2016 So do you think the people who have tagged might know before the 21st?

No idea, but probably not. My guess would be that you’d be among the first to know, if you find out on the 21st. @5HisLife

@5HisLife Based on last years date nobody heard back from earlier than usual.

@doihaveashot2016 No not yet. I haven’t heard back from any schools yet. I applied to UC:LA,B,R,SD,SC,SB & USC. UCR has completely f’d up their internal systems and who knows when transfers will find out if we got accepted. UCSC should be the first I hear back from followed by UCSB. My top 3 would be UCB>UCLA>UCSB. Where’d you apply and what are your top schools?

@enpz45 @doihaveashot2016 cool guys thanks! I’ll let the forum know if they send the tag admissions first then. Good luck everyone!

@enpz45 Oh nice! I thought about USC, but didn’t have a lot of their GEs done. Lmao, I didn’t apply to UCR but I’ve been hearing sketchy things about transfer admissions! Hope they sort it out soon. I applied to UCD, UCB, UCSB, UCLA and UCSD. My top three would be UCB≥UCLA>UCD. I don’t know, Cal used to be the dream, but I keep hearing that students at UCLA are happier.
