UC San Diego Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

While it is possible, it seems very unlikely

If I admitted as mathematics or applied mathematics major, can I change major into the math-cs major?

If it’s impacted no

@Katxlalala you do realize the 26th last year was a Friday right? it was the third week of april on a friday so best chances would be friday unless stated otherwise.

Hi Everyone,

Here are my Stats for this UCSD thread hahaha this is one of my top choices besides UCSB and I hope I get in as I’m a san Diego local and I’m pre-med so the opportunities are incredible here! :slight_smile:

Major: Molecular and Cell Biology
IGETC: Completely done.
GPA: 3.54 after submitting TAU, 3.58 Currently
Major Prep: completed everything including physics, but not o chem. keep in mind they’re not required for UCSD but recommended to complete.
Accepted: UCSB, UCD, UCR, and SDSU so far
Rejected: UCB, Cal Poly SLO, UCI
Pending: UCLA, UCSD

@ste1111 Last year’s thread all posted last friday at around 4 o clock so it seems best to check later on the day!

Does anyone know if Ms. Sun’s predictions for the other UCs have been correct so far? I mean if she was right about UCI/UCSB/etc then she must be right about UCSD.

She didn’t have a proper date for UCI (she said most likely beginning of April) same with UCR, UCSC, and UCM, UCSB had a set date in the first place, with UCB as well. She got the information about UCD on one of the threads here.

But when I used it two years ago for freshman admissions she was surprisingly accurate so I trust her predictions

@Annbitious07 yes but it was also 26th the year before too…wont be released 26th this year cuz it’s a Sunday so my logic went to the next day ??? so far no one else has agreed lol

Because they always release third week of April! keep in mind they’ve admitted on the 24th before too!

This year Ms. Sun originally said April 17th for Davis decisions but a few days earlier changed it to April 16th. She was right. I trust her. She looks at patterns spanning across multiple years when making her predictions.

Also, to add: she was correct about UCSB but that’s because it was confirmed. So that wasn’t really her. But she was definitely correct about Davis.

Since I’m here, I’ll drop my stats…
GPA: 3.98 / 4.00

[ *] California Community college: Mission College
[ *] Major: Psychology with emphasis in Cognitive Psychology
[ *] Honors: Yes, with 18 units completed by the end of Spring 2020
[ *] Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Toastmasters (Co-Vice Pres. Public Relations)
[ *] Job/Work Experience: Tutor at my college’s tutoring center; respite caretaker for a teenager with autism
[ *] Volunteer/Community service: N/A, except for some things I did in high school, a few of which I put on my application towards the bottom

[ *] Personal Statements:

  • Required question: I talked about my interest in psychology, connecting it back to my childhood growing up with an autistic sibling, and then talked about the opportunities I took advantage of at my community college to enrich my experience and prepare me for transfer (specifically the Honors Transfer Project, which introduced more opportunities for research that mimics what you’d see at a UC. I also briefly mentioned my job as a respite caretaker to show that I’m serious about pursuing psychology and have some experience under my belt already)
  • Creativity essay: I talked about being a journalism student in high school and how I had to think of creative, out-of-the-box solutions to manage my workload since I had two editor positions at once in my senior year. I talk about what I learned and how these skills have transferred to college.
  • Academic challenge essay: I talk about the circumstances that led me to going to community college after high school as opposed to a 4 year university and how going to community college has helped me grow as a person and as a student, and how the traits I have accumulated at the community college will help me once I transfer
  • Significant life challenge essay: I talk about growing up in America as a Pakistani-American Muslim Immigrant (i know, it’s the typical immigrant essay, blah blah) and the struggles I’ve faced in balancing two completely different cultures and finding myself in the process. Things like that. Cliche.
