I really hope it’s not the UCSC debacle all over again
@plsletmegraduate it probably wont be, UCSB is very consistent
Haven’t heard back from any UC yet! Heard back from every CSU I applied to. Hope we’ll hear this Tuesday from SB! The impatience is unreal 
@plsletmegraduate exactly I’ve been at the UCSC fall 2018 transfer thread for 2 days, the email promised they’d release the decision at 12am March 17 yet hunch of people have not heard anything from them
As a CSU transfer I’m pretty much guaranteed to be the last to know and it’s killing me slowly!
@siarota I really hate rolling admission decisions. It’s not doing any wonders for me especially in the middle of midterm season
oh man, the portal is officially down until 3 PM tomorrow! hang in there folks!
@plsletmegraduate I saw it too! making me more nervous with that huge announcement hehe.
I had to change my major because after fall 2017, their psychology program is officially changed to psychology and brain sciences and I did not do a major of those prerequisites.
what major are you applying as? (:
@Christinesoh oh my, I did actually hear about that from a friend who was a psychology major. I wish you the best of luck though, hopefully admissions might understand! My boyfriend graduated from here with the biopsych degree so I’ve heard of the department as being stellar! I’m applying as a political science major! 
@Christinesoh what you change it do? I kept it the same cuz I never cared much for UCSB so I never bothered looking at the assist.org page in detail lol. So I’m missing a ton of prereqs for psych and brain sciences. But i’ve heard that for ucsb they don’t care too much for prereqs if it isn’t a capped major, that as long as you have a good enough GPA and igetc done they’ll admit you. But that’s just speculation. Good thing I’m have a good chance at the other UCs tho lol
@SofiSana history major here as well!! good luck!!
“As we load your admission decision,
We are sorry the delay.
Check back March 20 at 3pm,
As it is DECISION RELEASE DAY!”
Anyone else have this on their portal now?? Also, does this mean I’ll defintely get my decision by tomorrow or it’s just release day in general…
@TaylorD6 I have that too, it means decisions start tomorrow at 3pm
Did anyone else TAG to UCSB? Hoping we get our decisions tomorrow!
@lovela I don’t have TAG because I was a unit short still pretty sure I will hear tomorrow but who knows! Just trying to stay optimistic
Major: Anthropology
GPA: 3.57 in UC transferable course, 3.50 including non-UC transferable courses
Major gpa: 3.75
TAG: yes
IGETC: completed summer 2017
Major Pre-req’s: will complete spring 2018
EC: work at a local Kumon branch three days a week, that’s pretty much about it lol
Good luck you guys!!! The wait is over tomorrow!!
@lovela I tagged with UCSB! Really excited and hope the people who tagged hear back tomorrow!
@skyinthesky i hope you hear back tomorrow too, waiting is honestly so frustrating!!
@commmajor08 Yay!! I hope we hear back tomorrow too ;)) did you TAG as communications?
@plsletmegraduate Thank you so much! everything went well (: It is unfortunate that they decided to make this decision right in the year I am applying but it’s better to have a chance of acceptance by choosing an alternate path.
I emailed them right away beforehand to request change of major and it appeared in my portal a few weeks later!
Good luck to you too! I really hope you get in! (: Post on here so I can congratulate you!
@ericbadmon I changed it to Anthropology (cultural emphasis). When I emailed them, they did tell me that but I didn’t do like 80% of the prerequisites so they said even if I get accepted under Psych, it will take me longer to graduate since I have to finish all the lower division at UCSB. I do not want to go through that. They understood that it wasn’t my fault for this complication because my school transfer counselors didn’t tell me anything about it but I’m assuming they didn’t get the information earlier either.
My first choice is UCI anyways so I’m waiting on that decision because they have my specific major for Psychology in that campus that I really want to get into so I am anticipating for good results! UCSB is one of my alternate schools incase my first choices don’t work out (:
Thanks for the information though! I appreciate it (:
Best of luck to you too!
@lovela yes I did what about you!
