UCSC Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

Based off last year’s thread (2016 Transfers), in March they were mainly Thursday and Fridays at midnight/super early morning (students woke up to notifications). But it looks like when they got to April, it was more random, during the day and afternoon.

Jeez, you would think I would have been accepted by now… Still wasn’t “officially” accepted to UCSC via the portal even though I’m a Karl S. Pister nominee (they can’t nominate someone for the scholarship who isn’t even going to be accepted into the school it just doesn’t make sense… so yeah). Stuff seems random this year. Just wondering if this a thing for STEM Transfers in general.

@BoredEngineer students who got regents applications to UCLA weren’t admitted to UCLA. Your stats look good tho so I’m sure you’re good

@enpz45

Yeah but on the scholarship application packet it literally says:

Each president may nominate up to three students who meet the following scholarship criteria:

◆ Show exceptional achievement through academic and extracurricular accomplishments despite adverse socioeconomic conditions;

◆ Demonstrate an involvement in activities that assist and improve the lives of others;

◆ Exhibit outstanding leadership qualities that reflect the ideals of the Pister Program;

◆ Because of financial need, would not otherwise be able to attend UC Santa Cruz;

◆ Are qualified for fall 2017 admission to UCSC as a new junior-level transfer student. <~ THIS.

Also thanks. I always thought my stats were average but my advisers and people on collegeconfidential tell me I have a solid chance for Berkeley…

Any of you guys get picked for the random “audits”?

THANKS For posting

@Fangkunli What do you mean?

So hear I sit… waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting … oh and waiting

Yes… for student aid… is that what you are referring to?

Still waiting, still sad LOL. I literally visit UCSC every weekend, I know the place like the back of my hand. Most of my friends are there, so I’m hoping I get in and actually officially go there.

Well … on a half glass full attitude we have yet to be denied…and that’s a positive

@astrophilia They selected me for a random audit of my application. They had me sent proof for one of my extracurriculars. I was cleared last month but idk if it held up my application process or not

@fangkunli Wonder why that happened. What was your extracurricular?

They told me when I was being audited that it is random. They can’t and don’t do all 10,000 students so they randomly pick names… she told me no red flags bring it up… I had put down that I did not wk for 2015 ( remember I’m talking financial aid) and so they needed me to prove it… I found it odd that they give students financial aid without verifying… they said it’s all on a " trust system" … not sure however if that also relates to your audit.

@astrophilia ya they basically said the same but for the app. they randomly screen about 10% of applicants and i was chosen. It was some club i did… I had the teacher write them a letter and i was cleared but it took a while because they told me around christmas and i wasn’t able to get ahold of the teacher until spring… So i wasn’t cleared until early february… idk if that slows my application process or not

Didn’t know that! That would be unfair if that affected you :\

I just got accepted!!!

@Bayareapug Congratulations!! Stats??

@Bayareapug
