UCSD Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@Scoobybrew for follow up info, is it just more info about ECs/classes/ etc mentioned in your application or is it like just more info on you and your background?

all the people getting contacted for follow-ups is making me nervous as I haven’t gotten anything except automated emails about fafsa :confused:

Also is UCSD anyone else’s top choice? People think I’m weird when I say I would much rather go to UCSD than UCLA or UCI and this thread is super dead compared to others.

@sleepypolarbear the thread is probably super dead because SD doesn’t release decisions until way late April. I think the 28th?

@Scoobybrew scooby, for follow up info what did they ask you? Did they ask any academic info or anything?

For me, they request me to confirm the following stuff;
Status: Completed Applicant SurveyDisplay
Status: Completed California Residency for Tuition Purposes – Continued Display
Status: Completed Complete California Residency For Tuition Purposes Display
Status: Completed Statement of Legal Residence for Tuition Purposes

@jeetusSwo ahh truu truu, I wonder why they release decisions so late

this thread is soo dead !

@AeroDE There’s no point in commenting here…we all know we won’t hear anything new until the very end of April.

@AeroDE The board will probably be dead for another few weeks because we all know we won’t get any decisions till late April

hope i get in so i can join the elite runescape club amirite fellas

@AeroDE they asked me to confirm an updated transcript from a few years ago at a different college. I found an issue on it that my old school needed to change, but I wasn’t able to update it on the Academic Update in January since you can only update your most recent semester at that time. So all I could do was make a note of the change in the comment box. So they are definitely reading them now, because there is no way they would have known to request an updated transcript unless they read that.

Also I agree, this thread will pick up steam next month. We will most likely hear back at the very end of April so there’s very little for people to report right now. I was a bit surprised they were already reading transfers, but then again they have essays to read through. As well apparently a new record for applicants was set this year at almost 120k from freshman and transfers.

@sleepypolarbear hah, RS takes me back. Wrote my first bot for that game, never was caught. Such a nostalgic game!

Could someone chance me pls

CCC Transfer
Major: Economics
GPA: 3.50
IGETC: completed
Pre-reqs: done by Spring ‘19
EC’s: 2 jobs, scholarship recipient, Acadeca, volunteering for about a year
TAG: Irvine
Applying to UCLA, UCB, UCSD, UCR, UCI

I did get a C in a 5 unit prereq so i’m wondering if that might really hold me back :confused:

Also, has anyone heard anything from any school? Some decisions should’ve started coming out but I haven’t heard anything yet.

I can’t speak for Economics for those schools. Ironically when I first went to college that was my major but it was in a different state. However I don’t believe many if any UC’s at all have released responses for transfers yet. From my memory April is more their month.

@Scoobybrew Crap, really??? Do you know how many of those were transfers?

UCSD might release the decisions earlier than last year.
Historically UCB almost always released decisions last, and they
are releasing them on April 19th.

UCSD has released decisions in batches in the past( I did not
know this). When they did , they started rolling out mid-March.

Maybe its because UCB is the oldest uni out of all of the UC’s.

@hoppy1 that’s a great find, and that makes me think that this year might be earlier. I remember last year people were not hearing back until the 25-27th April last year. So if UCSD does release in batches then I wouldn’t be too surprised if some people start hearing back in early April. But then again I am shooting in the dark with limited info to assume that.

I don’t imagine anyone has a solid answer for this but any thoughts on how they go through reading the apps, not decisions but just the reading of them. By last Name? Application submission date? By Major Alphabetically? …
Any thoughts?
