UCSD Winter 2012?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Will UCSD offer winter 2012 admission for transfers?</p>

2

<p>Highly doubt it. I’d be shocked if they brought it back anytime soon.</p>

3

<p>Perhaps we must wait to hear from Brown. He is going to give us the state spending plan today.</p>

4

<p>$1 billion cuts between CSUs and UCs (with CSUs bearing the brunt of that) probably equals no winter admits.</p>

5

<p>Oh wait, he cut “$500 million each from the UC and CSU systems”</p>

6

<p>Wow. It sure is unlikely.</p>

7

<p>they SHOULD! they opened up spring transfers 2011 for SDSU! why not UCs!? -__-</p>

<p>No way. Someone said it above… Brown wants to cut another $500 million from the UC’s!!! BS!!! We should petition this idiotic idea…</p>

<p>And that probably equals less admits (SPring and Fall), less financial aid, less money for research and internships, no renovations, and more ripping off students to cover the money the government didn’t give them. I hate politics. Engineering ftw!</p>

<p>@lmendoza: </p>

<p>UCs are still an incredible value and unfortunately money doesn’t grow on trees. This state is $25 billion in the hole, so cuts are necessary to beat down this enormous deficit. Sorry, but UC students aren’t immune to the realities of the state in which they live. We don’t have money, period, and thus cuts and tax increases are necessary to balance the budget. Does it suck? You but, but Brown’s proposal affects EVERYONE, as it should.</p>

<p>Agreed completely (I am pretty liberal). I strongly disagree with Brown’s proposition simply because I am a UC student in need of financial aid as are most other people on this forum. I understand that California is in a huge debt but cutting half a billion dollars (again) is only going to do so much (but it is a start I guess). </p>

<p>Tax increases I understand and agree with but cutting money from public education (especially those students who don’t have any) I don’t agree with.</p>

<p>"President Mark Yudof said he would resist another fee increase. UC students were handed an 8 percent fee increase last fall and a 32 percent increase the previous fall.UC might consider reducing the availability of financial aid, cutting enrollment and lifting the caps on out-of-state enrollment, said Yudof. “The physics of the situation cannot be denied – as the core budget shrinks, so much the university,” "</p>

<p>But like you said indirectly, I am bias because I am a UC student.</p>

12

<p>I don’t care what anybody says. You don’t cut education period. All of these “public servants” need to cut their own salaries.</p>

<p>@lmendoza: I make a decent living for myself, but I’m a 23 year old college kid. I grew up with a dad who liked coke more than kids and thus a mom who did her best to raise 5 of us by herself, so trust me when I say I know what it’s like to be poor. Very, very poor. Cutting $500 million in a year is a substantial cut, and $1 billion (combined between CSU and UCs) is a very strong cut, but unfortunately I do see the necessity of it. </p>

<p>We already have the highest sales tax, the 2nd highest personal income tax, the 4th highest corporate tax and the highest gas tax. Two years ago, we passed the largest state tax increase in the history of this country. I’m not an anti-tax zealot, far from it actually, but you cannot tax yourself out of a spending problem. This state has an enormous spending problem, and the UCs have been (and still are) extremely generous institutions. </p>

<p>We’re complaining because we’re college kids, and this affects us directly. If you shift it over and strip away something like WIC, those people are going to be jaded. No matter what you cut, you’re going to **** someone off. Everyone is getting hammered with cuts, which are “painful” as he said, but this is the hangover we have to suffer after signing insane contracts and erecting massive social programs while we were getting drunk off the cash flow from the fake housing market.</p>

<p>Colleges aren’t lowering their tuition also because of

  1. sports funding
  2. a preference for graduate student’s’ research
  3. increasing pay for administrators</p>

<p>I read about it in several government documents and books at UCSD :)</p>

<p>Winter admissions are often closed because of lack of space. UCSC, for example, had more students than expected accept their offers of admission and more than reached their allotted space for transfers in the fall 2010 quarter. Application for winter 2011 admission was closed as a result (there were a small handful that managed to still transfer, but these were special cases unrelated to normal admissions).</p>
