@mariahlopez1

@lostar okay cool! I think it’d be fine. I don’t think it would matter. I know it’s admits and family but how would they know your friend isn’t your family lol

@brpere1175 hey message me! I’m from the bay area & don’t know anyone who’s going to transfer triton day! I’m in ERC

@brpere1175 haha true! I chose Muir as my college by the way! How about you? And what’s your major?

@lostar Yaaas were both at Muir! My major is poli sci/ public policy, wbu?

@brpere1175 YASSS LOL. I’m a Communications major!! you, me, and @littlebuns should meet up or something (idk if I missed anyone else who wanted to)

@lostar Yeah! @littlebuns we should all meet up on transfer day. And anyone else who wants to!!

I live 2 mins away from UCSD. If anyone have any questions feel free to ask! The campus is the nicest,cleanest, safest in ALL UCs (including UCSB cuz they are no where near any major cities). And it’s pretty much urban. Lots of shopping, restaurants, and boutique places around. There is a BRAND NEW Westfield mall within walking distance to the school! And 2 luxury movie theaters (One AMC, one Archlight. I’m not sure if that’s a plus or minus so prepare for 20 dollar movie tickets and even more expensive popcorn and drinks muhaha). Lots of bio chem and communication firms around with loads of internship and job opportunities(Qualomm HQ is here! Wuuut!!!). Walking distance to the most beautiful beach in Cali! And a state reserve park 5 minutes of driving away! San Diegan life FTW!!! Mannn I sound like a real estate agent haha.

Hey, can someone please maybe give me some insight as to how this happened?

So, I got rejected by UCSB sometime last week, gave up all hope on the other UCs to which I applied (UCSD, LA, and Berkeley).

I decided to check my portal today more out of obligation than anything else and I was shocked when I learned that I was admitted.

However, I was admitted to my third choice college (Revelle) which I understand happens, BUT also I was admitted to a major that wasn’t my selected major OR my alternate major… really not even close. I applied as an Econ major, with an alternate in something similar. I was admitted as a Linguistics major.

I’m a first-year transfer from UCSC and my GPA is PRETTY low after a REALLY terrible quarter last quarter (I took 25 units and it destroyed me… got like a 2.7) anyway, my cumulative is a 3.03 now.

I have 57 units completed at my university, as I’ve only been here less than a year, and I brought 48 credits from AP, which is why I was able to reach the 90 unit minimum for transfer my first year.

I’m not involved in any on-campus activities. My essays were pretty good. I’m just really wondering… was this a mistake? Did I receive somebody else’s acceptance? It just seems so far from what I applied for that… it can’t be mine?

Thank you!

Pending: UCB, UCLA

Yippee! I checked my portal today while I was on my lunch at work (~4:05pm), and I was so surprised and grateful to learn that I had been accepted! UCSD is a great school, and for everyone that has been accepted, congratulations!

Oh, also, I didn’t even know what the IGETC was and only completed like half of the listed requirements by chance. I’m not done with my major pre reqs yet either. I’m really grateful but also super confused and I feel like they’re going to email me again and say “oops, we made a mistake.”

@sassyspeller97 YO omg you’re in the same exact situation as me! Well not really a situation but I’m a first year transfer from ucsc too! Ive been worried this entire time that being a first year from a uc would kill my chances but if you got in then i guess my condition isn’t bad after all. I got a 3.9 for fall. What was your gpa fall quarter? If it was pretty high then that’s probably why you got in! But acceptance is technically provisional. As long as you didn’t get any failing grades during that bad quarter you should be fine!

Been lurking for a while but figured I’d post now. I have a 3.93 GPA and all classes are finished. Hoping to transfer to Warren for Comp Engineering.

Admitted:UCI
Denied: SLO
Waiting: UCSD, UCLA, UCB

Good luck I hope you all get in!
