UCSC Fall 2018 transfer

@coolskeleton95 hi! so this website says that mid-range gpa for linguistics majors is 3.04 - 3.71 and the admit rate for the major is 71%. yours is not all that much lower than that, and that’s the mid-range, so maybe it won’t matter! you seem to have great ECs and experience and including your history (mental health, first gen, etc.) will show them you have very good reasons to have a lower gpa. obviously i’m not an admissions rep and if i’ve learned anything through this process it’s that it’s way too unpredictable. so all i’m saying is don’t count yourself out!

the website is http://■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2017/01/10-easiest-transfer-majors-ucsc-ucr-merced/ is case you’d like to check it out. no idea if it’s credible, i just googled “easiest majors to get into at ucsc.”

@xPro98 i got accepted on the 18th and have not got one yet some of the freshman got theirs after a week. So idk what they are doing with the transfers.

started at Cal Poly and didn’t really like it so I went home to rethink things and go to a JC. I was accepted as a freshman and decided not to go, I hope that doesn’t have a negative effect. Regardless, I appreciate the input

Wow, congrats to all those who have been accepted so far!

You’re a lock @philosophyCAL

@coolskeleton95 i hope you get in! nope still nothing i’m soooo over waiting :frowning:

@scholaballa I think your in! :slight_smile:

I still havent gotten anything. Im also a soc major and i think im just going to wait till april 16th and check my portal. The wait is killing me. My last name starts with T. But i did get accepted to sdsu . Its going to be my backup school.

So…
I have an overall GPA of 2.9
I applied to Legal studies
Ghaaaa
Do I Stand a chance?
I haven’t heard back from anyone…
:frowning:

@BubzBB Of course you stand a chance. But that’s only if you stay optomistic and turn that frown upsidedown. UC Santa Cruz takes a very hefty amount of students with a GPA below a 3.0. If they see that your application has heart and spirit, and that you are a good human being who can contribute to the school positively, they may very much so accept you.

The enroll GPA for legal studies to UC Santa Cruz in 2017 was between 2.87-3.25. That means you most-definitely have a shot. Keep your head up high!

Come on UCSC what are ya waiting for!
