UCSD Transfer Waitlist Thread 2017

Hello everyone! I have been wait-listed at UCSD and I thought it might be helpful to start a thread for those who have also been wait-listed to the university for 2017. I suppose I’ll start!

Major: Philosophy
Overall GPA: 2.85
Major GPA 3.65
IGETC: Partial (only missing language because my CCC does not offer Latin or ancient Greek)
Pre Reqs: Done
Essays: I would argue quite strong considering I have even been considered admission with a GPA of 2.85.
ECs: Not much–I’ve had the same job for over two years or so. I played Cello and Saxophone in high school.

I would also argue that my supplemental application was strong. My standard application was quite unique, in my view; I went from academic probation stage II to the dean’s list. Last semester, I got a 4.0 and this semester I am on track for another 4.0 with 20 units. I had to get permission from the Dean to exceed the credit limit. I’ve been accepted to UCR but UCSD is my dream school. I attended a discussion/debate last night at UCSD hosted by the philosophy department and met with some of the professors afterward. It seems that they heavily weighed personal statements this year considering how many other students with 3.7-3.9 (and even some 4.0s) were flat-out rejected rather than wait-listed. Anyways, enough about me: let’s hear from some of you!

YES AWESOME! I was waiting for someone to start a thread !

@axoltyl what’s your major and did you apply to any other schools?

do we need to submit any waitlist letter to ucsd?

@quanaucb I dont think so. We just have to wait.

ACCEPTED OFF THE WAITLIST TODAY !!!

@axoltyl really? what is your major and stats?

Major: Global Health
GPA: 2.84
Major GPA: 3.0 ish…
IGETC: done
ec’s: started a club, served as chair, worked part time, Honors classes, internship at a hosptial, volunteer at free clinics
Essays: I would say pretty strong since I have a pretty low GPA
I talked about some mental health issues I’ve dealt with and starting the club
(BTW I got off the waitlist for both UCI and UCSD today !!!)

Accepted as well! Congrats!

@pickwilliams Hey I see you have a gpa similar to mine, what are you doing about the provision for admission being at least a 3.00 by the end of spring sem? Have you called anyone ? I’m planning on calling tomorrow but I’m so afraid my decision will be rescinded. PLEASE HELP

hey, guys! do results come out in one day? or is today just start?

@axoltyl I haven’t looked into that, but either way it wont be a problem for me. I’m on track for a 4.0 of 20 units so itll put me at a 3.25 at the end of this semester.

Congratulation! My gpa is 3.6 ,and major is math/econ. But i don’t receive any messages right now.

wow! im 3.6 and statistics major! Only thing i concern is that i did not finish requirements for ucsd

my second major is statistic. but i am an international student

I am an international too!! my friend who is also international student got accepted yesterday so i believe it doesnt matter that much

@jeuqkdsas what about your major and gpa?

i am stat major with 3.6 gpa

Got accepted! But I am not meeting condition. I got D in One requirement which i have to get C or above. I emailed them if i can retake. Other than that, i meet all.

@jeuqkdsas they might make you retake it at a CC over summer.
