UCSB Fall 2018 Transfer Thread (Including TAG)

@commmajor08 as a history major!! not impacted at all LOL. But it’s so nice to hear that TAG allows even the more impacted majors :slight_smile:

just wanted to spread some good vibes to y’all!
my niece goes to SB & loves it.
i’m tryna leave UCSD for SB.

Good vibes only up in this thread!

Does ucsb send acceptance mail packets after the email like ucr ? Or are we just getting the email/portal

Hey as a UCSD applicant, I was wondering why you want to leave the school?

@ericbadmon AHH I’m on the exact same page as you! My counselor had me following the psychology pre-reqs which are STILL listed on assist.org. I had no idea they completely got rid of psych just last year until a few weeks ago.
Honestly though, I’m not super upset about it because I didn’t really fall in love with UCSB when I visited the campus. I liked UCD way more. Besides, the UCSB approach to psychology isn’t really what I want to do in the first place since I applied as psych BA. Which reassures me cause if I’m denied (which I probably will be since I’m missing the majority of prereqs) I wouldn’t have wanted to attend anyways.

Do you think UCSB will release most decisions tomorrow or just start releasing them little by little until the end of April? UCSC gave a date (3/17) and even a time window by last name for the beginning of their decisions but it seems like most people haven’t received their decisions yet.

I’m more confident that UCSB will release their decisions on 3/20 because they call it “decision release day” but I’m trying not getting my hopes too high.

@yamjand I believe UCSB sends out admissions in batches normally, but not completely sure!! I hope all st once though… LOL.

It is in beatches based on the last several year’s threads. UCSB said on Twitter that half of the transfer decisions will be released tomorrow. Good luck everyone!!!

Rejected :frowning: good luck y’all

@CTProsp118 from UCSB??

Accepted.
GPA : 4.0 (Econ)
CCC Transfer
No TAG (due to 1 less credit)

The Portal allowed me to login and saw the message. However, it is back to being down, so I am not sure what it was. Probably will know for sure by tomorrow.

@cricketfan
Are decisions up already ?

I generally check once a day and today it let me in and I saw the acceptance message. But the portal is down again, so I think the official decision will be released tomorrow.

well congrats @cricketfan !

incase ya’ll haven’t seen this:
“Decisions for all freshman applicants and some transfer applicants will be released on the Application Status portal on Tuesday, March 20 at 3 p.m. PST. Remaining transfer decisions will be released on April 2, April 16, and then on a rolling basis from April 16 - May 1.”

I got an acceptance message too on the portal before it went down.

congrats! @Chanel

Wow, I wish I was one of the lucky ones to see before it went down… :confused: I’ll be checking the portal 24/7 now

same!!! @lovela I refresh the page just in case it lets me in
