No ucsb for me, oh well

Hey Bio majors and potential future med students… is UCSB your top choice? I really haven’t looked into the school much, but I did apply and got accepted. Now I am considering it as I start to read about it. Wondering if anyone knows more about the Bio department specifically.

I got rejected with TAG? HOW

@loveu3000usc if possible I would double-check with your counselor all the appropriate documentation was submitted, course work was completed, stats were met, and it was denoted on your UC app
Wishing you all the best that you can challenge the decision!!

@“Mrs.WolfBlood” that’s really perplexing if possible I would touch base with your school counselor then UCSB admissions!

Is anyone here planning to accept their admission?

@caemarev789 YES you are totally right. Oh my god, I had a heart attack. Good luck to you too!!!

i reached out to office of admissions. basically they admitted me for a major i didn’t put as my first or alternate choice…

Accepted!
Major: Biology
GPA: 3.81
Also Accepted: UCI, UCB, UCD, CSULB, Humboldt
Pending: UCLA, UCSD

I already SIR’ed because UCSB is my top choice bc of the “vibe” and location.
I hope there’s a way that those accepted here can meet each other, I’d love to know someone already when I go there!

@hoshizora: You cannot appeal for a major change. You can only appeal if you are denied admission by UCSB.

And you cannot change majors to EE if you decide to attend.

From the UCSB website:
** Students who enter UCSB as transfer students are only permitted to major in a College of Engineering major if they were directly admitted into that specific major when they matriculated as a transfer student. Transfer students may not petition to change or to add an engineering major.

I’m planning to accept my admission decision! I’m in love with sb and always wanted to go after hs. I guess I’m just waiting for ucla lol! Too bad we can’t drop our instas on here :confused:
