Good luck everyone!!

Still waiting on financial aid, has anyone gotten theirs?

Just got an email from UCSC that I was accepted, but not for my major (Env Studies/Earth Science). Instead they have offered me admission to one of their non-selective majors. Don’t have any messages on my portal though, so you guys should check your email when you get a chance

@hottim thanks for the tip. Still waiting either way :((

any econ major received their FA yet?

I got rejected.

Stats: 3.7 GPA
CC Transfer Honors Student

Non-traditional older student
IGETC: Completed

It’s okay fam, a lil’ sad, but it wasn’t something I worked hard on. Application was done last minute on a whim.

@shabebe Wow, are you CS? Were you missing any prereqs? Makes me nervous, I’ve felt all along that there was no way I wouldn’t get in but Im getting worried…

Psychology.

Although since I’ve worked in tech for years, CS would be a logical choice. I’m just stubborn.
I was missing Calculus (surprisingly a prereq needed for Psych) but with a completed IGETC that’s not unacceptable.
I think it has to do with not having TAG, and not submitting it sooner.

Check the Reddit thread for this because it is much more geared towards the results for CS majors.

Has anybody received anything for financial aid yet? Apparently mines is 0, and I don’t know if that means I’m not going to be getting anything, or if they’re still processing it.

Did you do your FASFA? @Itstimetotransfer If you or your parents make too much money, you will definitely see a 0 in your package.

Another day with 0 messages…

Nah I emailed them they have a delay with FA. I was notified by email that I was awarded the transfer transition grant yet I still have 0 on Portal.

Just went to check on Portal and my FA finally shows. Pretty sure they just put it up today since I checked yesterday and nothing

My FA had an item on the to do list, so after I correct it, I gotta go and wait… ugh

Accepted. I have a question. I originally put a course I wanted to take this semester, but forgot to change the course after I decided to take another similar course. Both are courses for speaking. I told UC that I am taking Comm 130, but I forgot to update after I changed to Comm 121. Will I get my acceptance rescinded?

^^^ no - as long as it’s not a requirement.

Oh great, the course is not a requirement. Thank you for the answer, really appreciate your help. I can now have a relaxing weekend.

Accepted today!

Last name: F
Major: Computer Science: Game Design
GPA: ~3.7 (Mixed grading scales, hard to know for sure)
TAG: No
IGETC: Not recommended for my major
Pre-Reqs: Done
Did my first year of college at an (out of state) four year, then moved to a CACC for the last 2 years, where I completed most of the prereqs for my major. UCSC was the only school I applied to, so it’s been a nerve-wracking 2 months of hoping for a decision.

Best of luck to anybody who still may be awaiting their decision! May this treacherous, suspenseful wait soon come to an end.

Finally!!! This wait has been awful.

Major: CS
GPA: 3.85ish
TAG: No
IGETC: Not for my major
Pre-reqs: done
Did most of my credits at out of state private college, took a few years off school, then did required math sequence at a CCC, had to retake 2nd semester programming (although data structures and alg transferred for some reason??) and computer architecture at CCC.

Y’all if you’re attending you should join the official schools app they email you about so that we can be friends
