<p>i applied as a lower division transfer for UCD, and they requested that i send in my high school transcript and SAT scores as soon as possible. did anyone else get this too? any idea what it could mean? i'm hoping this is a good thing. comments are welcomed.</p>
<p>they require that because you are not applying to be a junior transfer like everyone else. they need more about you than just one quarter or semester of grades. consequently, they ask for your high school academic record.</p>
<p>hmm… I am a lower division transfer as well and did not receive that message. </p>
<p>Are you applying from a CCC or a UC?</p>
<p>I am applying from UC (and applied to UCD last year) so maybe they already have it on file?</p>
<p>Yes, as I understand it, lower-division transfer applicants need to submit HS grades and SAT scores… so it’s neither positive nor negative that they requested yours, vng… it’s simply a requirement.</p>
<p>And, bbbf, I would likewise assume that they’re using the scores/grades they have from your freshman application (though I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t ask for an actual transcript… did you send that last year or simply self-report your grades?).</p>
<p>ohhh, you know what, I self-reported my scores and only sent my high school transcript to the college I attend (UCSC). I wonder if they only ask for hs transcripts to make sure that you are eligible (A-G courses in hs, etc.) for a UC if you were not out of hs, and maybe me coming from a UC already verifies that I completed those requirements (since I got into a UC)?</p>
<p>You’re right… they can assume from your admission/attendance at USCS that your HS work met all UC requirements… silly that I didn’t think of that.</p>
<p>As a lower division transfer student you must have met UC eligibility requirements as a graduating senior from high school. Since the transfer application does not ask for the high school information we request it separately.
