UCSC Fall 2016 Transfer Tread

Congrats @csgirl19 and @CSMan18 !!! May I ask what gpa you guys had? I also tagged with Davis as Cs major.

@richgucci 3.73 and I tagged to Davis for CSE.

@562Cornejo I’m a cogsci major too. Nothing has appeared in my portal yet. Eep!

Hi guys :slight_smile:

I’ve been secretly treading along since last night, finally contributing. :wink:

Major: linguistics
TAG: UCSC yes
Applied: UCSC, UCB & UCR
Accepted: none yet

GPA: 3.0-3.2 csu & cc transfer w/ scattered grades, some really bad.

UCSC is my dream school which is why I tagged it and I thought I would have an answer considering I passed classes last semester-- albeit with C’s …
I was supposed to have gotten an answer at 3am… Nothing yet :frowning:

@birdbirdbird What letter does your last name start with? Just curious because I’m a cogsci major too, but unlike Cornejo, my last name is all the way down the alphabet–starts with an S haha.

@VanessaNuno

“Treading” lol.

Well you have a tag so you should get in 100 percent unless you have reason to doubt that.

My question is what’s up with that 3.0-3.2?

@BlackPlasma that’s what I thought too. Agh!! It’s just the waiting and not KNOWING that sucks… I have a German 4 midterm and its so hard to focus!

Well @uchopeful414 , I hard a few rough semesters and I was also kicked out of SDSU. I retook a lot of classes but some I just couldn’t. My uc transferable units GPA is like 3.4 but I’m really not sure what they used to decide my TAG but it was accepted so…

Nothing for me yet, my last name starts with a J. Do they release them all in one day? That’s what they’ve been saying on other forums.

Sounds rough. I’m sure you got it all together now @VanessaNuno. And yeah as long as you got the accepted tag then who cares!

@PantherDuck My last name begins with M. So, we’ll see! The wait is too much!

@birdbirdbird The wait really is just brutal. I’ve been looking at the 2015 thread, and I see cogsci majors asking the same questions that we’re currently asking in this thread, and they didn’t hear back from UCSC until april :/. They got accepted but still…that wait. Where else did you apply? Is there any particular school that you’re most interested in?

I think @boxandwhiskers is right in assuming us psych majors are going to be the last to know. @1teenwolf’s high GPA put them in the first batch, and seemed to make them the exception. (Congratulations, by the way!) The rest of us are going to have to wait, it seems. For the record, I still have nothing on my portal aside from the same old thing. :frowning:

@PantherDuck I applied to everyone that had CogSci as an option. I applied at UCLA, Cal, UCSD, UCSC, and UCI. My top two choices are UCLA and Cal. Right now I am trying to survive this last semester. I am trying to get a C in an accelerated Calc 1/Calc 2 class and Chem 68. I really don’t want my chances at getting into any of the UCs get ruined because of this one class.

I’ve worked full time and so hard to finish everything else, so I’m just trying to remain positive about my two math classes. What about you?

Yep, same here! My top choices are probably UCSD or UCLA, but I just want to be able to transfer. As a homeschooled kid, I did not expect I would make it in college, let alone at a university. But here I am. I’m just so pumped for transferring, regardless of where I end up. And I definitely know how you feel in regards to the accelerated classes. I took accelerated calc and chem in my second semester, along with Psych honors and college writing 2 honors. It was brutal. I wish you the best of luck :)! Wow, all while working full time? That’s impressive! I’ve worked on and off for my dad and I’ve done some extracurricular stuff, but nothing compared to working full time 0_0

@PantherDuck yeah i work full time and don’t live at home, so I have to work to pay for my apartment and school. It’s a lot. It hasn’t been a big deal until this last semester. I would never ever recommend accelerated calculus to anyone.

Got in!
Electrical Engineering
GPA : 3.5
TAG: no

@birdbirdbird Haha, yeah, I definitely wouldn’t recommend it either 0_0. Good for you, though, that’s definitely a lot. @DummyDanny Congrats! What letter does your last name begin with?

@PantherDuck My last name starts with a D

@DummyDanny Danny Devito? Is that you?
