<p>The stair method is sweet.</p>
<p>This was posted by UCSC regarding admissions this year. They also stated that the average gpa of admits was 3.3 this year. I thought that was high for UCSC. Oh and they also said that 60% of transfer decisions are already out. Anyway, I included the link if anyone wants to see the whole thing.</p>
<p>UCSC</a> Admissions - Information for Upper-Division Transfer Applicants Not Offered Admission</p>
<p>"How were you able to let some students know their decision before other students?" </p>
<p>"Students who had approved UCSC TAG (Transfer Admission Guarantee) agreements were admitted on March 15, as well as many other transfers who appeared highly qualified and were transferring directly from a California community college."</p>
<p>Nice find fijeeboi.</p>
<p>that IS high for UCSC... this makes me kind of worried about how this would affect other UC's. UCSC is the least desired transfer school. So a 3.3 is very high.</p>
<p>My buddy has a 4.0 and still hasn't heard from UCI! Every place that released their admissions, except UCI, has admitted him.</p>
<p>UCI releases their decision by major.
Econ is most impacted, so it'll take them longer to review those. just wait.</p>
<p>AllyGo: I wouldn't call UCSC the least desired transfer school. I think Riverside or Merced would have to take that title.</p>
<p>We are all political science. One of my buddies has a 4.0. My other buddy has a 4.0 and is international.</p>
<p>I'm sure poli sci is just as popular as economics. pretty much all of the signature social science majors take long time. Heck, my gpa was high (3.85) and I didn't get my UCI decision until late April. Just wait.</p>
<p>Oh, alright.</p>
<p>fijeeboi: that seems harsh too... for business admin the UC system only has 2 schools offering the major. myself 3.9+ gpa and along with many friends with the same stats are praying to get into riverside cuz haas is just too unpredictable...
NONE of us heard from riverside business yet tho =.= getting worried
anyone got admitted for business admin so far?</p>
<p>I haven't heard a single case where a student got rejected to Riverside with 3.5 or higher GPA. I remember them reopening their transfer admission in the middle of April or May because they didn't get enough students admitted. lol. Guardiangel, unless you are missing some critical pre-reqs, I would recommend you to start celebrating right now because Riverside looks like a shoo-in for you.</p>
<p>Guardiangel: I'm not trying to put anyone down or anything like that. I think there is a general consensus that UCR and UCM have less prestige than other schools in the UC system. That being said, I think it is a great accomplishment just to get to a university. I also don't think prestige is the most important factor when it comes to choosing a university.</p>
<p>I have a 3.98 in philosophy and I haven't heard from UCD or UCSD. But then again, i haven't met any philosophy majors that got in yet, nor have any of my classmates at my CCC (only on CC did I hear about acceptances).</p>
<p>I think it has to be completely random. I don't get the system and for years, as long as I heard about college admissions, people have been trying to crack the code. Maybe Laguna is right, I have no clue.</p>
<p>Laguna told me he was just kidding =.=
i thought he was being serious too lol</p>
<p>I can only speak, or type, for UC Davis. The largest factor is workload. Since students with TAG agreements have previously had most of their courses reviewed there is much less new information to review before a decision can be made; therefore, these students may hear back before others. Students from 4 year colleges or out of state may receive decisions at a later date because their schools do not have previous articulation agreements unlike the California Community college system so, there is much more evaluation work needed on these files. Is this an exact science to go by, no. Files are reviewed at random and decisions will be posted when a final decision has been made.</p>
<p>Well in terms of UCSC only letting people know who have finished TAG and are highly qualified from a California Community College, I am NOT from a CCC nor have I done anything related to TAG. However, I was notified of my acceptance (yessss) march 15th. I am coming from a CSU (SDSU). So it couldn't have been just CCC transfers that have found out. I'm sure my record needed more evaluating than CCC transfers.</p>
<p>UCD, can you give us any insight on when more transfer decisions will be posted?</p>
<p>Has anyone ever seen any other Admission officers on here besides UCD? I never have, and even if there has been they don't frequent the board as much as UCD obviously. Plus 1 to UCD.</p>
<p>I agree Mykris, UCD has been nothing short of awesome to this point.</p>
