ACCEPTED
CCC student
NO TAG
major: psychology and brain sciences
Overall gpa: 4.0
IGETC: done this semester
Prereqs: missing a ton
So…I thought I was for sure I was getting rejected. Not only am I missing half the prereqs due to the the major change from psychology to
Psychology and brain sciences, I am doing the second semester of English rn in my spring semester, and I completed my math requirement during this past winter intersession, all of which are a big no no for ucsb. In fact, a few cc student told me a ucsb academic counselor told him they don’t accept students who attempt math after the fall semester in the year before transferring. Obviously, my situation disproves that. I heard that ucsb accepts students who applied to non-impacted majors based off gpa and IGETC completion, and my situation definitely backs that up. Seriously, idk how I got in missing so many prereqs but I’m not complaining obviously! This is just a heads up to anyone applying to this major, cuz I’m sure there are a lot of students in a similar situation due to the major change. If you really wanna study psychology, don’t bother changing it. As long as you have IGETC done and a competitive gpa, you can still get in even missing prereqs (non-capped majors).

@skyinthesky thank you so much for this! I wonder if there’s a difference between the applicants that receive a physical packet first, rather than the portal, and vice versa.

ADMITTED :slight_smile: Communication, 3.89 GPA, IGETC & prereqs will be done this semester

Also accepted to: SDSU & Sac State!
Waiting to hear back from UCLA, Cal Poly, UC Davis.

@lovela it is hard to tell if people just don’t check their portals and check their mail more often or if the mail comes first, but it seems like some people were first notified by mail

Jeez I apologize for my statement being so hard to read lol. I was a bit excited with this unexpected occurrence

Accpted at 2 pm
Major: Pre-Biology

Did anyone get an email before or after they saw their acceptances/rejections on the portal?

@Lesbehonest nope no email until i submitted my SIR

Also, did anyone here get an email from admissions to update their winter grades a few weeks back? I was just wondering if anyone got that email because I think that’s why my decision is still pending.
