UCSB Fall 2016 Transfer Thread

@jelmax001 mechE major still pending here too. All required prereq & about 85% of reccomended prereqs will be done by spring. 3.75 GPA, 2 year transfer.

Is “Strongly Recommended Advanced Preparation Courses” so critical in admission? I rejected from UCSB missing three of strongly recommended prereqs.

@Leo622 @ItsAPotato I only missed one courses under “STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ADVANCED PREPARATION COURSES : M6”. For the MAE major, i will finish all the required prereq in this Spring.

@aedie1 maybe… i’m waiting for UCSD and UCD. but i will try to ask admission office to change to MAE…well… i know it is almost impossible :((

@jelmax001 how did you do in the MAE related courses though? maybe you were more competitive for your alternate major courses.

I think my chance is really low since I missed 2 major required courses. All my MAE friends in my CC got rejected by SB because of 2 missing courses. The main reason is that these 2 engineering courses are only transferable to SB but not for SD, LA, and Berkeley. I hope my ECs could help a little bit(Engineering research experience at UCLA and some research presentation awards).
