UC Davis Fall 2020: Transfer Thread

Transferring from a CCC as a junior!
GPA: 3.76
Major: Biochemistry
IGETC already completed: Yes
Pre-Reqs: All except ochem (second sem) and physics, but it’s not required

I dropped organic chemistry second semester with a W and let Davis know. My TAG shouldn’t be revoked since it’s not a required course I believe, so hopefully I can get in still! I took a late start class so I’d still be a full-time student and let them know as well.

Hi all,

What was six months became six days left and I’m incredibly nervous, so if anyone can look at my application and tell me what my chances are that’d be great.

Major: Poli Sci
GPA: 3.66 as of now, will be 3.7+ after this spring, which I indicated on my additional notes with the TAU
IGETC done after this spring with 60 units and major GPA is 4.0
Essays: pretty solid, had plenty of people edit them, wrote about how politics gave me purpose as a first generation middle eastern immigrant (moved here in 2010), and how I turned my hardships into motivation.
ECs: interned for a house campaign, worked for a city council campaign, and organized for a presidential campaign. Currently work as a Registered behavior technician, a position that I earned with Hard work. Was also a part of a few clubs.

Applied: UCLA, UCB, UCD, UCR, UCSD, UCSB
Accepted: UCR with honors
Waiting:the rest of them

I’d really appreciate honest feedback, good luck to all!

when are we supposed to know? is there a select date?

It’s rumored to be the 16th

After reading speculation of UC Davis transfer decision day being April 16th on here, I did some research and found a webpage containing UC Davis’s upcoming events. If you scroll down to April 16, 2020, there is an event titled “WEBINAR - You’re Admitted! Now What?”. Do you think this confirms the rumor?

EDIT: Just noticed there is another webinar for admitted students on April 23rd. Hmm…

Those could be for freshmen too. I doubt the webinars have anything to do with the day that they release transfer decisions.

I thought all freshman know by the end of March and April is specifically for transfers? Esp w/ UC’s

Yes

Based on the Admission Stats from 2019 you should be admitted.

I know they’re supposed to release decisions mid-april, but when I open myadmissions portal, it says “Decisions will be sent beginning in late April”. Not sure what to believe

Mine says that too…I hope they just stick with mid-April

Parent here, but hoping one of the transfer applicants knows the answer. My daughter (who does not post on these message boards) applied as a Fall 2020 transfer in Psych. Although her overall UC GPA is in range, her GPA for the “group” of required major-specific classes for transfer (there are 4 total - intro to psych, stats, bio and anthropology) her GPA is just below the 2.9 GPA requirement. I’m heartbroken for her because it seems this may get her screened out of the major (and admission). She has completed a ton of the requirements for the Psych major (has taken classes year round including Summer and Winter intersessions) and is otherwise a really great candidate for admission. Does Davis provide any flexibility on this?

@saru12345 did your daughter TAG to Davis? If so the conditions of her admission would be listed in that agreement.

If not and she’s a regular transfer applicant then I highly doubt Davis would be flexible with requirements, especially since psych is an impacted major. But she should reach out to admissions for clarification.

@SatanFlower69 - she’s just a regular applicant. Thanks for responding.

Where’s the UC Berkley 2020 Transfer Forum? Can someone post a link?

@FHOGHO123 here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/2145977-uc-berkeley-fall-2020-transfer-thread.html#latest

Who else other than @zluis0 get the email saying Davis will release on the 16th?

I went back to my email cause I remembered AvenueE sending me something like that week or so ago, and I can confirm that’s what it says.

I also got the email. Can confirm it’s April 16th.
