UCSD Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

That’s awesome you’re human development too! I feel like it’s not a very common pick (BA for me). My GPA is 3.47 after the TAU.

Personally, from what I’ve heard, UCSD really just cares about GPA. I saw a counselor at my CC (I’m local) and he used to work in UCSD admissions and said it’s basically a big number game. Essay/ECs don’t really matter as a transfer and they’re not as strict on prereqs as other UCs. So hey I guess take it for what it is, but I have seen other people saying just that on previous years threads.

But yeah, if you look at the statistics of past years of GPA accepted for transfers, there are plenty below 3.5. I wonder how they decide then? It is just some big lottery at that point? haha.

@blackonyx Haha, who knows how they pick at this point! But good luck!

Just checked on my portal… nothing. Anyone else hear back?

@doihaveashot2016 Nope. They won’t be releasing freshman till around 3 PM; if any transfers hear back today, it will be after the freshman do.

I’m a freshman atm applying for junior transfer lol. I’m always a bit nervous that they’ll disregard me even though I have done all the requirements ,

Portal seems to be down for everyone.

Yup! I think they’re adding in all of the Freshman decisions at this point. Hopefully they’ll throw in a couple transfers too haha.

Probably just freshman mostly but one can hope :smiley:

The regents transfers should be notified today too (not that I’m expecting to be one), but last year some non-regents scholars (transfers) heard on the first day so fingers crossed haha. But I’m expecting with my luck that I’ll be in the last batch at the end of April.

I was hoping the portal would be accessible at 3 but I guess not lol

@brpere1175 Me too! But so far no freshman have heard yet, I’m assuming it will start at 5ish.

Yeah I’ve been creeping on the freshmen thread too and the best theory I’ve seen is IT not releasing the decisions until 5 so they could leave right away

@brpere1175 Like their office closes and they open the portal back up at 5 and peace out so no one harasses them right? Lol if so that is brilliant.

I was kinda able to log in. I got like 1/2 way there and then it kicked me out for maintenance!

new message:

Thank you for your application to UC San Diego for Fall Quarter 2017. Transfer application decisions will be posted by April 30. Please check back for your application decision.

Lame.

@blackonyx exactly! lol

I still cant login hmmm

Looks like it’ll be another 5/6 weeks for most.

I was able to log in but got the same message, to wait by April 30th. I was really hoping they we’re going to notify some transfers this weekend like they did last year. :frowning:

@Nataliee177 same :(((
