<p>since it’s rather unlikely for them to give us any answer during the weekend, i guess it’s hundred bucks down the drain to for that backup SIR… was hoping they’ll tell us today so I wouldn’t have to spend that much money :(</p>
<p>Didn’t know where to ask, but how do I actually decline admission to UCSD? I kind of kept it around just in case I had a change of heart, and I’ve completely forgot about school for the past 2 weeks or so. I am trying to decline UCSD offer, but the only choice I have is to accept.</p>
<p>@jonjon03 You can call the admission or email them. But if you don’t submit your SIR until June 1, they’ll assume that you decline the offer.</p>
<p>does anyone find it odd that the first day for decisions is on a Sunday? do you guys think they’ll send them out on Monday instead? </p>
<p>@movieguy
I suspect the same. They will probably start sending out on Monday, not over the weekend.</p>
<p>@darren808 I think so too. However, I am not sure if they will send out only one batch or multiple. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>@AlmostPeace They usually send out by several batches, since not everyone in each of the batches will accept the offer. </p>
<p>Anyone know for sure what UCSD looks at in a waitlisted student? GPA only? Or are essays considered too? </p>
<p>I’m hoping to be accepted into ucsd. It’s my final hope…well darn it we’re in the home stretch I just hope I can make it home</p>
<p>@kyle2015, what do you mean your final hope?</p>
<p>@Bhav007 I think he means that all the other universities he applied to rejected him.</p>
<p>@darren808 you know dude…i’d totally like to know that myself as well. I really hope they look at the small 200 word essays we wrote as well…because this is my last coin flip…if i don’t get tails…then its time for me to “head” home with my tail between my legs…</p>
<p>either that or make a last ditch effort at ucsb…</p>
<p>@kyle2015 did you get accepted to UCSB?</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 No they rejected me due to me getting a C grade in math 102. BUT…they said if i sent them my spring grades on appeal and proved to them that my grades were good and that i could pass math 115 (statistics) then they would most likely offer me admission. This spring semester i will have 3 A’s and 2 B’s. My math class will be an A. So i more than proved their previous judgement of me false. So i most likely would get accepted. At least i hope…</p>
<p>@Kyle, what was your GPA before spring? By the way, it sounds like you have a great chance at UCSB.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 3.28-3.33, yeah i feel i’d get into ucsb. But i really feel like i’ll get the nod for ucsd…i’m really hoping i can get into ucsd. Btw i heard you got into ucla! Thats an awesome school man you must have a 3.7+ gpa, congrats on that man.</p>
<p>Honestly, 3.28-3.33 is really pushing it for UCSD. Did you apply to any other schools?</p>
<p>@Kyle2015 Thanks! My GPA is actually lower. It was 3.45 before the spring, now it is 3.67. Your personal statement can make a huge difference. It sounds like you have a great shot at UCSD, don’t worry! </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 Thanks man! And wow…3.45 aye? well your personal statement must have been great. I really thought my personal statement was amazing but…i guess the UC’s didn’t think so. But thats great to hear your gpa didn’t stop you from getting into UCLA! You have a great school to consider even if you don’t get into ucsd…but i’m sure you’ll definitely get in.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1, I was thinking that, but then I thought he should’ve got into at least another UC like Davis or something if he got waitlisted at UCSD.</p>
<p>@kyle2015, I Hope you get in, man! Last year’s was like a 69% acceptance rate for UCSD transfers, which is good. Hopefully, this year it’s similar or higher!</p>
