I got rejected from UCLA and UCD. Pending: Berkeley, UCI, UCSB.
My major is computer science and I applied with a GPA of 3.48. I think I have a good shot of getting off the waitlist if I opt-in. What’s everyone elses situation?
Well I know this probably won’t help you since your cs, but I got in for electrical engineering and I’m not going to accept. I’m gonna go up to San Jose instead. Hopefully this means at least someone on the waitlist will get in though.
I got wait listed and I am a biology major with a 3.5 GPA (when I applied). The most recent semester I had straight A’s and my GPA was 3.9 (but they refuse to take any additional information) I went to school full time while working 30 hrs a week. I have many volunteer hours. I attended a private university. I paid for that university all by myself while battling some serious family issues. I think it is so unfair that California community college students get priority when applying to transfer to UCSD. Does anyone know the percentage of people accepted from the wait list?
I was at a conference at UCLA a couple of weeks ago and a UCSD admissions advisor told everyone that every biology-related major was unimpacted and “open”. Im not sure what that means, but hopefully its good news if you are wait listed and a biology related major.
@jl10777777 last year apparently the wait list acceptance rate was really bad, but in 2013, if you had a 3.3 or above you were accepted. I don’t know how its going to be this year. And about the ccc students having priority, I’m not sure why lol. I think its due to the fact that many community colleges in california have articulation agreements with all the UC campuses. It really has to do with transferability of the coursework. With the number of applications growing 3-5% every year, its going to get harder to transfer to a UC if you didn’t come from a CCC or another UC school.
@jl10777777 I’m pretty optimistic for your case though. A 3.5 puts you at the top of the wait list, and UCSD accepts from the wait list based on gpa. Good luck!
Looking back at past years, transfers on the waitlist don’t get notified until early June to as late as the third week of the month. Not much of a choice but to sit back and wait.
This year a lot Freshman put off waitlist. I hope the rate for transfer can be better than 2014!
BTW, I am transfer from WA state.
CC GPA: 3.72
UC GPA: 3.5
Guys… I promise I’m not kidding. I just got into UCSD from the wait list!! I was surprised too, because they were supposed to come after June 1st. My major is molecular biology.
@Zoravor OMG Congrats~!!! I’m computer science major tooo… but haven’t hear anything from the their wait list yet… Do you think they offer it based on GPA? Cause my GPA is 3.9… ><
My major is Econ. I accepted by UCD and UCSB. But I really want UCSD!!! I am out of state, from WA state. I am still wait UW- Seattle. But UCSD is first choice!!! Hope we all can get in!
I got into the transfer waitlist two days ago! Btw I’m new to these forums lol the reason why I’m on here is that now I’m really torn between UCI and SD. Any advice guys I fell in love with Irvine but I feel as academically SD is the better choice.
