UCSD Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

I just called and they said that they are hoping to release sometime this week. She also said that they know its getting late in the month and that we won’t have to wait much longer.

Idk about all this talk about International versus residents. I get the argument that has been made for favoring residents, and at times I wish that it were the case that they would favor residents much more so than internationals. But after getting to know many international students at my CCC, I can see why they are getting admitted, most of them are excellent students who go way beyond the minimum. I mean most of the ones I’ve gotten to know are miles ahead of where I am academically and gpa wise and they just get it, especially when it comes to stem. But my pride tells me that I shouldn’t care about the technicalities of who should get in, if I cannot compete with them gpa wise they are simply better than me in that sense and I should strive to do better because of that. But I’ll be clear in saying that this is simply my opinion and I don’t intend on projecting my thoughts on to anyone else in the thread.

@userrunidentified I agree in a way, if we weren’t paying taxpayer dollars, but I do agree with your statement.

I just called admissions, they said that they haven’t even been given a date yet when decisions will be out. That is should be before May and to keep checking our portals. Idk if its true or not, but there’s that.

You guys should stop calling admissions, they aren’t going to tell you anything lol. I wouldn’t even be surprised if those who are working the desk/phone at the admissions office didn’t know when admissions were coming out

The part about who actually funds the schools makes for a difficult conversation for sure, but I don’t even try to go there. I’m no polisci major or anything, I hardly watch the news, all I know is that I go a job to do which is to get the best grades that I can and stay involved in my field beyond the classroom

@Twenmi I wouldn’t be surprised tbh, she sounded (the girl at the front desk) as if she felt bad for me, so I think she would have told me if she’d known. I mean even UCLA set a date, UCSD has got to get it together.

Yeah no one’s gonna tell us if they haven’t told us so far. All hints and speculations have been lies. So, just wait it out. It will absolutely be here within a week.

@Cunningsloth Hopefully, they did say “by end of April” the two times I called admissions, so it could, highly unlikeley because no one is after Berkeley, this would be a first, but it could hypothetically come out next Monday, April 30th

My money is on Wednesday!

How much you want to bet? lol @OhWhatsHerName let’s start a betting pool XD

i bet 1 trillion doll hairs

My money is on the non UCLA or Berkeley days (Mon, Tues, Thurs) but idk why my gut says today?

im hoping today! I wonder what time is the latest they notify. I’m thinking 2pm latest.

My gut is telling me it won’t be today…

It’s really hard to guess at this point. I would say 5pm is the latest they notify and if it doesn’t go out today I have my money on Wed. But I do think we will hear before Thursday. But who knows at this point lol

Im about to withdraw my application… I wait for nobody

Last year transfers thread the acceptances start blowing up at 3:05 pm on the 21st

@BennyBograil @svkashani i cackled

Same^, I bet 15 tears that it will be when UCLA comes out.
