UCSD FALL 2016 TRANSFER THREAD

Decisions come in batches from mid-March to end-April.

Hey guys, I know it changes from year to year, but I tried to go to the housing website to see if the housing trick works and it said that there is a server error and something about the directory is not found… I don’t know if I am the only one who is experiencing this and/or if this is because I got rejected or what. Are any of you guys experiencing the same error? I tried the off campus housing thing and I got to log in and it worked. So I don’t know what’s going on lol

@ct2809 I just tried and got a server error too. I think it’s too early for the housing trick.

Lol what “trick” are you guys talking about?

From what I’ve read in previous threads, it’s a change in the housing message you see in the portal. Something like “your housing info is unavailable” changes to “your housing options will be available on such and such date.”

Also from what I’ve gathered, the housing trick for SD is a pretty solid indicator you’ll be accepted, although not seeing a change DOES NOT mean you’re rejected.

The message change seems to occur about a week or so before your decision is released. So it’s too early at the moment.

Yup, I think it’s too early to use the trick. Maybe in a week or two

Hey, where do I find that housing link? I am unable to find it on my ucsdappliation…I see a housing link but thats a general link…

It looks totally different this year. I doubt the housing trick is gonna work. Should be next week though when first wave comes out.

My brother applied here and I guess we’re sharing an account now?? Anyway:

Major: Japanese Studies
UC Transferable GPA: 2.5
Major GPA: 4.0
U-link: I don’t know what that is.
IGETC: Complete by the end of Spring 16.
Pre-reqs: Current CC only provides Japanese 1, so Japanese 2 is still lacking. However, neither class is articulated on Assist, so it doesn’t matter anyway.

I’m hoping he gets in, but 2.5 is a low GPA. But his major isn’t impacted, nor one of the 12 most popular that are applied to in the UC system, so maybe he has a shot.

i only see a general link too when i clicked on the housing website under the housing tab. this week will be torture… lol

I’ve been stalking the portal for a couple of weeks now. They must have just changed the look of it. It does indeed look completely different now. Before the change I was able to click on housing and would get an error message. Now, as you guys mentioned, it just brings you to a general housing page.

Damn they figured out what we were doing… :-"

it must have changed today. I checked yesterday and was still getting the not found error.

Hello all hoping to get that decision soon!
Major: Psychology B.S. cog specialty
GPA: 3.9 IGETC certified
all pre reqs except calc II will be done this spring (doing calc II this summer)
Instate transfering from CA CC
Veteran status and also an employee at UCSD as of last month lol.

Also applied to UCLA, UCI, UCR, and Berkley.

Best of luck

Hey guys,
I don’t know if I am on to something but I clicked on the off campus housing tab on the application site and it led me to a website. On that website I clicked UCSD students, logged in with my user id and password from the SD application and I was in. Can others do the same? I also saw I had a ucsd email, ie. myname@ucsd.edu, when i try to list myself as a roommate. I wonder if that means I am accepted or if everyone has access.

i also was able to do the same thing and have a UCSD email, hopefully thats some sort of good news

I can log in to My TritonLink, which i think is the current students page, can anyone else do this?

@MRSMARX I can log in.

I think we can all login… doubt that means anything

Probably not, just going to have to wait until next week
