UCSC Fall 2016 Transfer Tread

@Kyles52 It is incredibly unprofessional. I thought perhaps the system would refresh with a decision come 12am today, but it has not. Instead, no information whatsoever is shown regarding my status. Before hand it showed that my application was under review, now it shows nothing. I cannot respect an institution who does not abide by their own words. I wouldn’t say that necessarily, some applicants are better than others and could perhaps replace someone else they felt should be admitted.

My account now shows a decision will be posted by May 6th lmao. UCSC fucking sucks

Admitted to business economics. Finally, lol. Doesn’t change anything, still going to UCSB.

finally admitted but not going

glad to see some are getting decisions and congrats to you! my son finally got a message today that they received over 1,100 more transfer applications than last year , and will have decisions posted no later than May 6. Wish they would have posted that message yesterday. I agree it is not being handled well. I’m really curious as to why they received so many more apps vs last year. And since they knew that last Dec. 1 why they didn’t gear up for it.

So I got into UCSC and Berkeley. Does anyone choose Santa Cruz over Cal? Anyone else struggling with that choice? What makes Cal a “better” school and does it matter that much?

@Lukelayle I would Pick UCB, it’s world renowned and ranked 14 in the country while UCSC is 49th I believe

Yes, most people would say UCB for the reasons pointed out above. Is there a reason you might prefer UCSC regardless? You couldn’t find two schools with more opposite environments. My daughter went to Berkeley and did very well. I was initially horrified by the gritty urban feel of Berkeley and was afraid that there would be too much “pressure” there. I would have been very happy if she had gone to UCSB (her second choice). What is your major and why are you questioning the choice? Have you visited both campuses?

@Lukelayle Grad school. If you want to get into an amazing grad school go to CAL.

still nothing sigh

ADMITTED! as of this morning! ^:)^

admitted to UC Davis also, good luck to everyone. hang in there and hope for the best. Focus on your schoolwork!!!

Finally! Yay! I got accepted.

Does anyone know when/how we’ll get unofficial/estimated financial aid offers?

Anyone else’s application status go blank?
