Everyone here has a higher GPA than me 
I’m also a non-TTP and am a sophomore transfer who has yet to receive a SGR. I didn’t receive a WGR either but that was because I sent it immediately after I finished the winter session and then emailed my admissions counselor to make sure they were received and he told me they had. I applied to Dornsife as a Chinese major and have completed both the English and math requirements during the fall. All other General reqs are completed aside for what needs to be done at USC and a single science class. My GPA at the moment is a 4.0 and I’ve completed 16 credits so far with another 16 in the works. So nervous and worried about not having received anything yet!
@GotYa55 ah! Thanks for catching that! It’s been a while since I looked into UCSD colleges since I do not plan on attending
@itsgoingtobeokay i’m a junior non-ttp transfer applicant w/ a 3.9 gpa who hasn’t received a sgr, but i sent in my winter grades preemptively. i have two GEs left to complete and they are nonessential to my major. good luck to you!
it’s good to know others are in my situation! im a marshall applicant from a mid 30s ranked university. ill have 32 credits completed by the end of the school year. i wish i could have any indication that they’ve seen or are looking at my application.
I’ll have 32 credits too. It’s awful having to do so much waiting! I just emailed my admissions counselor today about needing any initial documents and he has replied quickly in the past. I will post anything of use if he replies back— hopefully with something good.
Just wanted to let ya’ll know one of my really good friends got their SGR today around 5 pm, he is a sophomore transfer with a little under 30 units (will have over 30 after spring) he applied for global studies i think but his second choice is anthropology
He has a 4.0 college GPA and 3.8 H.S.
@whostolemycookie Thanks for letting me know!
How’s your GPA? Hope we both get into Marshall!
to all the peeps who got into ucsd and have any questions, im currently studying there so ask me any questions if you have any!
@rish68 Thanks for that offer!
I got into UCSD today and I am wondering the following:
- I got accepted by UCSD today, but I haven’t completed UC’s second English class.
UCSD’s acceptance contract states that:
Complete all UC minimum subject requirements by the end of Spring term 2019, including two UC-transferable English composition courses; one UC-transferable math concepts and quantitative reasoning course; four UC-transferable courses chosen from at least two of the following areas: arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, physical and biological sciences.
However, my Spring semester is over and my grades are posted. I didn’t complete the second English at all and I took Business Calculus instead of traditional Calculus, but I still somehow got admitted.
Is it safe to assume I can take all missing prereqs in Fall 2019 if I do decide to attend UCSD? UCSD knows what I took for Spring 2019, so obviously they still admitted me even I missed prereqs.
-
Are you transferring from UCSD to USC? Why is that?
-
I got into UCSD’s Roosevelt, how is that compare to other colleges?
Is it easier to get into UCSD for poly science rather than business? @rish68
@woshua I got into UCSD’s International Business Major today. I don’t think it’s too competitive. Below is my stats:
UCSD-4/26 at 4pm (PST)-Accepted to International Business in Roosevelt College
College transferring from: Pepperdine (US News ranked 46 in 2019)
Entering as: junior
Major: Business Administration-applied for International Business
GPA: 3.71
Units completed: 62 units after Spring semester (GPA 3.765 after Spring)
Pre-reqs: missing the second UC’s English (I didn’t take it because I thought it doesn’t matter that much and I could catch it up later. In addition, I spent my freshman year’s summer doing internship instead of taking this course at a community college.)
Also, I took one semester of Business Calculus (includes Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 materials) but I think UCSD requires me to take the traditional calculus but I still got accepted. Maybe my business calculus still transferred? I am a bit confused here.
Essay: 9/10
Other schools applied to: USC, UCB Haas, UCLA, UCSD, Emory, UCI
Accepted by: UCSD
Rejected by: UCLA, UCB, Emory, UCI
Waiting for: USC.
Comments:
-
I got “A” in all the business classes that I have taken in Pepperdine: Financial Accounting, Business Calculus, Business Statistics, and Organizational Behavior. I thought this would be impressive. Most GEs I got an “A” or an “A-”. But I got two “B” in two Pepperdine only classes and that’s why my GPA is not a 3.8 or higher.
-
I was quite shocked that I got accepted because I am missing UC’s second English and I took Business Calculus instead of traditional Calculus.
-
If I were to do this application process again, I would just apply to UCSD and more private schools since most classes can be transferred and they are more lenient on missing prereqs.
@sagaciousforever DId you complete the lower division writing requirement for usc
Barely saw ur post mb
@woshua No, I didn’t. I only finished Business Calculus for Marshall.
Through email, my USC admission counselor affirmed me that I can get into USC Marshall without the first writing. If admitted, I just need to take both USC’s english classes in order to graduate.
I did not take it because Pepperdine’s first english does not count for USC’s first english. It counts for UC’s first english though.
However, I probably won’t even be considered if I am missing Business Calculus since it is a business-related major requirement.
I got rejected from pepperdine @sagaciousforever
I took Bus calc and got a D…
I’m currently retaking it and have a B but idk if it’ll make a difference
@woshua I am sorry!
Pepperdine does not emphasize on your grades too much. It doesn’t matter if you are applying as a freshman or a transfer, a lot of people got into Pepperdine in the range of 3.3 to 3.5. Some people got rejected with a 3.8 to 4.0. Same as USC, Pepperdine considers your essays a lot.
@woshua If you are taking Business Calculus this semester (Spring 2019), you will most likely get an SGR because it is a major requirement and USC wants to make sure that they see you perform well before they reach a decision.
You still have a decent chance if your other grades, extracurricular, essays, and recommendation letters are good. I wouldn’t worry about getting a “B” in Business Calculus. In the past, there were some people who got into Marshall with a “B” in Business Calculus.
Try to improve that “B” to at least an “A-” though. That will increase your chance of admission.
That makes sense and thanks @sagaciousforever
