Is there a facebook page for transfer students?!

@oliver1364 Just curious what Major or pre-Major you were admitted for at UCSB- they are apparently phasing out the BA Psych and going to BS Psychological and Brain Sciences. Saw this information in Assist, yet the Dept website is not updated yet to reflect this. My son accepted as transfer for pre Psych and Brain Sciences. Seems like the department there is in the middle of a transition. Son will be calling to get course requirements for major as we can’t find it on school website.

For future students going to UCSB.

Applied: UCSB, UCI, UCLA, UCB, Oberlin College, Harvey Mudd, Cornell, Carleton, LMU
Admitted: UCSB, UCLA, UCI, LMU
Rejected: Oberlin College

Will not be attending UCSB because of the financial aid package they offered me. Net difference is not under 10,000. They offered my friend who is another chem major enough money for her net difference to be 7,000 (9,000 UCSB grant I only got 3,000) She has a 3.5 gpa but more upper division courses completed. (All UD math and physics completed)

To conclude for anyone looking to transfer next year. GPA, completion of upper division coursework matters the most.

I was admitted to UCSD but not UCSB. Would an appeal help me at all?

@ucdenied420 its worth the shot!! You might as well try if you really want to go to UCSB. What is your major?

Who else is still pending???

@scottythehotty Me. Uhh its so annoying I have been checking like almost everyday for a month now. I heard back from UCD, UCSC, and UCSD already.
