<p>I just got my notification yesterday that I was rescinded from UCSD. I am short about 3 (Quarter) units. I should have exactly 90.5 units, but I think the 3 units I got from UCR Summer Bridge did not transfer over to UCSD. I know for sure my community college credits did.</p>
<p>At this point I don't know what to do. I've heard about credit-by-examination tests that I can take at the local community college to make up that deficit. But it might already be too late. Has anyone been in this position and beaten it? </p>
<p>Was really looking forward to going to UCSD...</p>
<p>Unfortunately, the same thing happened to me. If you are short credits, there is nothing you can do but complete them and re-apply next november.</p>
<p>^I don’t know how many UC schools (if any) still accept Spring/Winter applicants.</p>
<p>I would at least call admissions and have them tell you exactly what did not transfer and why, just to make sure that they did not make a mistake. you never now what might happen.</p>
<p>None of the UC campuses offer Spring Admission and CSU has just canceled it for all schools. Unfortunately, the only time you can start at a California public University is in the Fall which is really a raw deal for students who fell a few credit units short and have to wait another full year.</p>
<p>I know UC Berkeley has students who start in the spring but they were actually applicants for the fall semester but were only offered admission if they waited until spring to enroll. Ragingzero and Ieatsharks are probably not the only cases of this happening. I think the UC and CSU should consider accepting fewer transfer students for the fall semester so they can allow applications for the spring semester. The students could spend a term at their CCC getting the credits they need and then be ready for transfer in the spring.</p>
<p>Yes, Berkeley starts some students in the spring, but it is the school’s choice, not the student’s choice. This is probably a load-balancing method, since if everyone starts in the fall, the fall semester will have more students than the spring semester (students who graduate a semester early or late will take one more fall than spring semester), resulting in either overcrowding in the fall or wasted capacity in the spring.</p>
<p>But it does seem like doing this could make sense for other UCs (though the quarter system may have slightly different effects on enrollment numbers).</p>
<p>UC Merced is the only UC that has a separate application filing period in the summer for Spring admission. Berkeley admits some applicants from the standard Fall application filing period to enroll in Spring, but does not have a separate filling period for Spring admission.</p>
