<p>You have to declare your major. I don’t think they allow undeclared for transfer. Some majors admit under pre majors.</p>
<p>a week till cal decisions. </p>
<p>lets do our best to stay sane guys.</p>
<p>Who thinks we will reach 4,000 posts before decisions are released? I think we will. Cardinal started it all.</p>
<p>I should’ve…applied to Stanford. Will I get mugged if I walk around with a Stanford sweatshirt on a game day?</p>
<p>“Who thinks we will reach 4,000 posts before decisions are released? I think we will. Cardinal started it all.”</p>
<p>Haha, g1a2b3e. I think we’ll reach that many. We just need to set our minds to it. We’ll especially get a surge on the eve of May 1st. </p>
<p>I’m honored to have been the one to start this thread. I feel like a B-List CC Celebrity.</p>
<p>Cardinal, you’re definitely an A lister on CC. Is there a way to see the longest CC posts of all time? This might be up there.</p>
<p>Anyway, last year I think UCLA was released on the 27th, which was the last Wednesday of April. I would love for it to be on the 27th!!!</p>
<p>Did they say it would be the 27th in advance? The dates I’ve seen are April 30 and May 1 and then “late April” and “early May.” I wonder if they will tell anyone over the phone when they will begin.</p>
<p>Man, I’m getting pretty nervous now. I wonder how the CC servers are going to hold up this weekend.</p>
<p>Don’t get your hopes up too high guys. UCLA Admissions for one has gotten a much higher volume of transfer applicants this year. There maybe delays. Just a bit of a perk for TAP students, I believe we will be the first to know whether we got in or not since our applications are reviewed in the beginning of the admissions process. That’s not to say noone else will get theirs at the same time… just… we’ll know the first day or so. I’m not going to expect anything until next Monday but hopefully it’ll be beforehand. Good luck everyone and don’t check CC and admissions sites too often. You still need to keep up your grades and go to class. It’s finally the home stretch guys.</p>
<p>I hope TAP comes to the rescue. :[</p>
<p>as do i.</p>
<p>This can’t be healthy guys.
i spend hours readint these threads and searching the ones from the last couple years…
i don’t even know what i’m trying to find anymore. :(</p>
<p>so nervous…</p>
<p>“Don’t get your hopes up too high guys. UCLA Admissions for one has gotten a much higher volume of transfer applicants this year.”</p>
<p>No. UCLA received FEWER transfer applications this year than last year.</p>
<p>What gabe just said is correct.</p>
<p>I always find it interesting how some people think things are ALWAYS INCREASING…like crime rates.</p>
<p>Oh whoops. Misinfo… I meant freshman applicants.</p>
<p>If you call them and ask when decisions will be released, what do the say?</p>
<p>Given that:</p>
<p>1) UCLA’s pool of transfer applicants is smaller than it was last year.
2) They admit by major rather division.
3) In 2005–a year that they had a larger and more competitive pool of applicants–they admitted over 60% of Philosophy majors.</p>
<p>Do you think it will be easier to get into than Cal this year for Philosophy majors?</p>
<p>uhhh , was that a trick question?</p>
<p>Also how can you justify #3? A smaller applicant pool doesn’t necessarily mean less competitive.</p>
<p>Also, point #2 conflicts against #1. The numer of applicants for philosophy could be the same or more than last year, even though their overall number is down.</p>
<p>Well, for a less than competitive major like Philosophy, I am assuming that if they were willing to accept so many applicants in a year with a larger number of applicants–i.e. more people vying for the same number of seats–that they may accept a larger proportion of applicants with fewer people competing for the same number of seats.</p>
<p>(I accidently hit enter on the last post, which may have caused you to miss the actual question. I’ve since edited the post to include the question.)</p>
<p>The question is there. You asked about Cal, not UCLA. Rather than speculate, you should look back at the previous years to see how philosophy correlated with the overall size differences in the pool. But still, you cannot come to a conclusion about this year without the info in front of you.</p>
<p>None of this is to say the chances are bad. I think you have a 3.5? That puts you square in the area of those who are accepted.</p>
