In State UC Student applying from UCSC
Applied To: UCSB, UCLA, UCSD, UCB, UCI, UCSD, LMU, USD - haven’t heard back from any 
Hoping to find a new environment, ideally UCSB!! I didn’t reallly indícate why I needed to transfer on my application but I’m still hopeful! Seems like this was a mistake but it’s whatever. I’ve heard there are a lot of transfer applicants this year. My GPA is above the TAG and I will finish all major pre-reqs by spring. Not really sure how applying from another UC affects my application. Really hoping I end up in Isla Vista in 2021!! Best of luck to my fellow applicants!! Stay sane and healthy!!!

Major: Statistics & Data Science

CA resident but non-local
CCC transfer

Accepted: Cal Poly Pomona
Waitlisted: Cal Poly Slo, SDSU
Pretty nervous just based on the decisions I’ve received so far, looks like it’s extremely competitive this year.
This has been my dream school for a long time now and getting denied last year for a freshman spot I decided to go to CCC for a year and transfer.
Major: Environmental Studies
GPA: 4.0
CA Resident but not local to Santa Barbara
CCC Transfer
IGETC: Will be finished this semester
Colleges Applied: SDSU, CalPolySLO, UCSB, UCLA, UCI, UCSD
Accepted: SDSU, CalPolySLO
You’ll probably be denied again, as the vast majority of transfer admits come from CCC who have completed at least 60 semester units.
Do another year at your CCC (and continue to do well), complete IGETC and all your major’s prerequisites, then TAG UCSB.
Sorry I should’ve specified when I said I was a one year transfer but luckily I took many AP Credits, Dual Enrollment, and Summer / Winter quarters to bring my credits up to around 68 semester units.

Excellent. UCSB is my D21’s dream school as well. She got into a couple of UCs, but not SB. She will do the honors program at our local CCC, then TAG SB in 2023.
Good luck!

Comments: I am going to be a junior transfer, I spent my first year at ucla then my second year at a community college so I could tag
Why did you leave UCLA? Curious, as this is typically a more sought after school than UCSB.
