UCSD FALL 2016 TRANSFER THREAD

it pops up right after you log into the portal

@sbrapunzel When was the first batch?

I saw my decision on March 11

Did you get regents? @sbrapunzel

Based on last years transfers thread, most of us should hear back tomorrow! Good luck everyone!

JEZZZUSSSS KRAIIIISTTTTT ^:)^

What time? 5 pm?

I don’t think I did. But I’m kinda confused about why. My GPA wasn’t perfect (3.95) but it’s still really good and I had some nice ECs.

Here’s what I know from the Rep I spoke to yesterday. The floodgates of decisions are to start tommorow through Sunday and next weekend. UCSD isn’t very holistic with its decision they use GPA cutoffs based on applicant pool and impacted major get a second screening

@grimmghost It was 4pm last year. I checked last year’s forum.

@drealmccoy What do you mean by second screening?

Thanks @itakenotes

The admission officer admits the student but the Engineering department does a second Admission based on the cut off for the year.

Does anyone know if UCSD lets you change your major upon admittance? I’m a sociology major but would like to change it to public health (B.S). I believe that major is not impacted.

I checked last year’s thread and it looks like engineering majors were accepted at the same time as everyone else so if there is a second screening it probably doesn’t take any extra time

@drealmccoy What about for math majors? I understand that they’re impacted as well.

@UCItransfer23 I’m pretty sure you can change from sociology to public health if you get in

PLEASE CHANCE ME. HONEST OPINIONS
I have a 3.26 GPA
Major: International Relations
Lots of ECs and I’m on the speech and debate team. My essays were good.
I saw a structural engineering student got accepted with a 3.11 last year and math and neuroscience major accepted with a 3.05 and 3.16 GPA last year. Any chance I could be admitted even off of the waitlist?

@boyofrito I can only speak of engineering majors sorry…

In past two years they released decision in 4:30 pm. So if they don’t change the rule, they would release 4:30 pm tomorrow.
