UCSD FALL 2016 TRANSFER THREAD

@MugBoy nope, still waiting… hoping decisions start back up tomorrow!

the wait… I can barely study for my test… sigh haha

@MugBoy same! I really should study to kill time, but I have so much anxiety right now. Good luck on your test lol

@ct2809 haha thanks mate!

What are my chances?
I know I’m far far away from the ideal candidate figure but I still applied.

from Michigan State University
GPA 3.1603
Major International Studies - International Business
Second Choice - Economics
finished every IGETC except for one English course (It’s just my guess. I don’t know my credits are transferable or not)
Applied to USC, UCSD, UCI, UCD, Penn LPS, UW Madison, UMich, UIUC, Ohio State, Purdue
Accepted to UIUC, Ohio State

@avc118 Yeah, because I saw mostly social science majors get their acceptances, I thought for sure that I would receive my decision in the first batch, but nope. Do you mind if I ask what your GPA is? I’m curious as to what the Cog sci majors have around here.

@1270012405

It might be tough for UC’s because coming from a 4-year institution, you are given lower priority than the CC students. I also applying from a 4 year(SDSU) and am expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. You do have a chance though, your GPA from that university should hold more weight than a CC’s.

i think i got denied lowkey
someone from UC Merced already heard back and I haven’t. LOL.
plus she has a 3.9 GPA and is an English major
not sure if that’s more/less impacted than gender studies at UCSD

Greetings Everyone!!

I got my email confirmation yesterday!!

Sociology Major
College is Muir!!!

And I got regents scholarship!!

Good luck to everyone!!!

@calbear2016fall congrats! where did you find out about regents?!

Go Muir! Where did you see that you got regents?

@PantherDuck I have 3.5ish when I applied. I hope there’s not a lot applications for cog sci. I’m surprised there’s three of us here.

@avc118 Ok, right on. Yeah, Cognitive Science is a really low key major at all the UCs. I don’t think it’s impacted anywhere haha. I hope that fact really benefits all three of us here in the long run. Then again, SD seems to be getting more and more competitive as the years go by, so we’ll have to see. Sucks that we have to wait another month, though :confused:

@PantherDuck Yea… Hoping that three of us will get in! I’m really hoping to get in since getting into UCB seems really impossible. Are yo going to do a specialization? If so which one?

@avc118 Nope, straight up cognitive science! What about you, are you going to do a specialization? Where else did you apply?

@PantherDuck Yea. I’m doing Human Cognition. I am also looking at doing a double major or minor in applied math. I only applied to UCB and TAGged to UCDavis. How bout you?

hope this was helpful!!

@avc118 @PantherDuck looks like we all have similar hopes. I applied with a 3.45 gpa but after the TAU it was 3.61. So looks like we might be borderline

So what does it mean if we still have not heard back?
