<p>I haven't been rejected yet, but if anyone out there has, would you post what school and why [or why you think]. Thanks!</p>
<p>great idea for a thread = ) helpful for future transfers to get a grasp on the reality of things.</p>
<p>i've always believed that no news is good news..but as time passing by,,it seems that no news is gonna be bad news......T_T</p>
<p>Rejected from UCSB 3.83 gpa, history major.</p>
<p>solakram, did you have all prereqs? all math and english?</p>
<p>I followed UCLA prereqs not UCSB's. But I believe there are students on here who were admitted who were missing like 3 or 4 prereqs</p>
<p>Yeah, I wonder what the differences were. Although you have a great chance at UCLA. Goodluck to you solakram.</p>
<p>May be UCSB reasons that even they accept you, you are not going there anyways because other top UCs would accept you since you have a high GPA, so they sacrifice you to give a spot to someone who really wanna go there... just an opinion :)</p>
<p>Damn. History must be a really competitive program. Shasta College offered exactly 0 articulated courses for the UCs' lower division requirements in philosophy and I've been accepted to UCSB, UCI, and UCSC. Of course, I'm still waiting on UCB and UCLA (UCB just decided to mess with my head for good measure as well ... nice people). Good luck with UCLA. Given your level of achievement, you deserve a spot at a higher end UC.</p>
<p>Yeah thats what I was thinking as well</p>
<p>this thread is aka.</p>
<p>"make the people who got accepted feel better and more speicial."</p>
<p>AGAIN GUYS--DO NOT COME TO CONCLUSIONS ABOUT REJECTIONS WITHOUT HAVING A FULL FILE!</p>
<p>I'm sure there is a reason why he got rejected, and it is not (1) overqualiifed, or (2) prereqs. If you knew anything about the specific process at UCSB you would know that. Speculation will just confuse prospective transfers.</p>
<p>I got rejected from UCSB because on the website it said I failed to meet minimum qualifications. I didn't have any idea what they were talking about, so I called their "Admissions Counselers" and talked to one. She said I didn't have 90 units, and I said I did and to please check again...well sure enough I had 92 units and she said, "Opps" but said I would have to appeal the decision because admissions are closed for UCSB. I said screw it because it would take wayyyyy too long. I got into UC Davis, Riverside, CSUSD and waiting on UCLA. Rigorous screening process indeed....</p>
<p>90 units is the minimum requirement? WhAT? Isn't it supposed to be 60 semester units or above?</p>
<p>sorry, my CC is going by quarter system heh</p>
<p>60 Semester Credits = 90 Quarter Units</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Wow, man. That is really messed up. I'd be so ****ed if I found out that I wasn't accepted to a certain college based on a simple error like that.</p>
<p>you should appeal to SB, and then demand compensation in free tuition grants</p>
<p>DEMAND IT! i can't believe that can be that incompetent as to say you didn't have enough credits</p>
<p>Yea, it was pretty messed up and I was kind of ****ed off, but it would take way too long to make an appeal because the counsler said that I would have to wait until I had some sort of idea of my grades for this quarter so it would look better on my appeal. However, the quarter just started and it would be like half way into June before I had any idea.I just hope that UCLA comes through =)</p>
<p>I was accepted to UCSB as a history major with a 3.53 gpa. I am missing 2 prereqs for the major. I had already been previously accepted for the winter of 2006 with a lower gpa under the same major with a gpa at 3.43.</p>
<p>I am thinking maybe you are missing some of the igetc or maybe there is something else. They don't read essays so you can throw that out. The UC's don't have the so called TUFT'S syndrome because i have seen many high gpa applicants like yourself get in and later go onto UCLA or UCB. Hopefully they just made a mistake or something. I would def call them. goodluck.</p>
