UC San Diego Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Result: Accepted
Major: Chemistry
GPA: 3.7-3.8 (I enrolled in four colleges and forgot my final GPA) overall, and about a 3.3 major GPA, 1 W
TAG: No
IGETC: Yes
Pre-requisites: Currently doing one semester of ochem, didn’t do physics yet, although it highly recommended it… I believe as UCSD will start becoming more holistic in the future, but since they just started admissions without TAG, they’re looking at overall GPA instead of major GPA.
EC: no EC’s besides babysitting and helping out my parent’s workplace
Accepted: UCSB on 3/17. UCD, UCSD, UCLA on 4/17
Rejected: n/a
Waitlisted: n/a
Still haven’t hear back from: UCI,UCR,UCB but will probably choose between UCSD and UCLA

I had the good housing message from a week ago, and it did not change each day that I checked it… hopefully that will help for next year’s applicants.

Congrats to those who got in, and good luck to everyone else!

I will gladly help anyone to the best of my power so please let me know if you need help with PS, advice etc… I know transferring is a daunting task, and honestly didn’t expect my acceptances.

ACCEPTED

I had the good housing message so I’m pretty sure that trick works. My housing message changed exactly a week ago

I just declined my offer from UCSD (econ major accepted into Muir). Hopefully someone else can have my spot since I was accepted into UCLA. Good luck!

I haven’t declined yet for human bio but I will be because I GOT INTO UCLA. Good luck waitlisters… I was denied from UCLA last year and wait listed for UCSD and then got denied in June but hey I’m going to UCLA now so don’t be too down guys!!! HAVE HOPE. Best of luck to all!

Hi, first time posting to this but I’ve been reading the thread since I’ve applied. I’m a veteran with a 4.0 GPA and have all pre reqs complete. I applied for electrical engineer as primary major and mathematics-computer science for secondary. I was accepted for my secondary major. I’m a little disappointed I didn’t get into the engineering program but still happy I got in. Does anyone know if I would be able to transfer out of UCSD into an engineering program somewhere else or if the math-computer science major is worth just sticking it out. I’d appreciate any insight and congrats to all the new transfers!

I’m more than happy now. Honestly, I didn’t think that I would get in due to my GPA while I really wish to. I share my status because I feel like I’m the lowest GPA person who got accept from UCSD within my major. Hope It’s gonna be useful for the future students :slight_smile:

Curious, when you get into an Undeclared major, is that like…way less cause for celebration? It almost seems like less of a victory…

So what does everybody’s provisional contract say? Mine says to get all C’s or above :smiley:

Also…other admitted CS or CS hopefuls…what college did you choose? I chose Revelle but I really had no clue!

@trnsfrstdnt I think mine says the same thing too. it just said to keep my overall GPA above 3.0 and finish this semester with a 2.0.

Congrats to everyone that got in!!

@VectorSpaceCadet sweet! surprisingly UCI wants me to get B’s or above for my major pre reqs which i find strange.

Wait listed by ucsd.
gpa: 3.24
Major sociology
everything been done since fall (pre-reqs, IGETC)

Don’t care much I’ve already gained admission to both UCSB and Davis and I really wouldn’t have went to ucsd anyway seeing how it was my last choice out of the schools I applied.

Congrats on those that were admitted and will attend.

some people were asking if they can change the college were admitted to, read this.

Q:Can I change the college I was admitted to?
A:
Generally, no. Each college has a certain number of spaces for transfer students. Unlike most
universities, your college is
not
determined by your major.
Newly admitted transfer students may request a change of college; however, we may not be able to
accommodate college changes due to capacity limitations. Submit your request with an explanation
for the change to:
collegechange@ad.ucsd.edu
