UC Santa Cruz Transfer 2020 Thread

Hello everyone, I also received my acceptance
Major: Political science
GPA: 3.96
Pre-reqs: Will be finished this semester
IGETC: Will be finished this semester
EC: Work full time at a doctor’s office
Applied to : CSU’s: Long Beach, San Jose, Sac, San Diego. UC’s: Davis, Berkeley, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, Irvine, Riverside, LA, San Diego
Accepted: Long Beach, San Jose, SacUCSC

I was accepted this morning for Film and Digital Media! I TAG’d though, so I already basically knew I was going to get in. Does anyone know when financial aid comes out? I don’t know if I can attend until I find out how expensive it will be…

This says April 1st-May 1st, but I’m assuming first years find out before transfers. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for sooner rather than later though.

@unknown1000 , @atheist123, have you guys received decisions yet? I’m starting to get worried

@anishtheind hey I applied as an Electrical Engineering major no TAG and I haven’t received decisions either. On the portal it indicates that they do rolling admissions until April 30th so you shouldn’t be worried although I’m also getting impatient about my decision

@anishtheind hey I applied for CS with tag and I haven’t heard anything back yet. Also getting impatient but judging from last year threads there’s really no reason to worry. They were admitting people all the way up until the 30th.

Accepted! 03/24

Major: Computer Science
GPA: 3.0
Local: No (CCC transfer)
Pre-reqs: Will be done Spring 2020
IGETC: Yes, but voided most likely

Best of luck to everyone else waiting!

@ashirogimoto Congrats!!

Did you tag?

Thanks! Oh sorry for the typo, my TAG for UCSC was the one probably voided not IGETC lol I already got it

@ashirogimoto, why do you think that ur TAG was voided

@fashionista99 do u know if we as CSU transfers have to do any IGETC of any sort or certification?

@lollyv For us, we can’t really do IGETC b/c we are not in a CCC. We just need to make sure that we complete the 7-course pattern requirement. Also, as long as you are able to complete most or all of the prereqs of your intended major, you should be good.

Finally Accepted after months of anxiety!

Applied Computer Science TAG.
GPA is around a 3.6

EDIT: Accepted for “proposed” Computer Science. Is this normal? lol

I changed my schedule from what was declared when I applied for TAG… congrats with the acceptance

@anishtheind it seems normal. Mine says proposed and lists 54 different proposed majors I can pick from if I want to change. Didn’t expect that but its an interesting option.

if any accepted student wants to start looking for off campus housing or transfer friends, you guys should check out UCSC housing, sublets, and roommates FB page

I’m still waiting. Hopefully they release non tag soon

Hello everyone!

I was accepted to transfer to UCSC the 17th of March! Now I’m just waiting for my financial aid package so I was wondering if anyone knew how long it would take to receive it? Has anyone whose been accepted received theirs yet? I applied last year as a freshman applicant (I was a senior in high school last year) and was also accepted but it was too expensive so hopefully this year is better :slight_smile: Also, to those who have not heard back, I wish you luck and I hope for the best for you all!

Admitted finally! “Proposed” electrical engineering. Midnight March 31.

Accepted finally CS! Checked this morning. Ahhh I’m so happy.

I tagged CS but there’s no mention of it anywhere In my portal.

Also for those who have been accepted, in the update major section does your proposed major show? Mines blank for some reason.
