UCSB Fall 2018 Transfer Thread (Including TAG)

I’m not quite sure why everyone’s worried lol. It clearly said: “Decisions for all freshman applicants and SOME transfer applicants will be released on the Application Status portal on Tuesday, March 20 at 3 p.m. PST”. Stop stressing, get some sleep :stuck_out_tongue:

@Cygnyss Same thing, but I didn’t tag either, my decision is still pending but it says my unofficial award letter date is the 22nd of March. Hope it means I’ll get my decision tomorrow or day after.

@Catsandphysics I feel, I did mine halfway through, but my TAU was pretty late in January when I submitted so if so then I’m waiting until April sigh :confused:

@plsletmegraduate By batches I mean a large amount of decisions, not necessarily that all the transfer decisions will be divided up between those two dates, so sorry for the confusion!! And like I said in my post, they will also be sending out some decisions randomly up until May.

Anyway, just because you haven’t received a decision yet doesn’t mean you’re automatically rejected so to everyone stressing out, just relax!! Your time will come, and no matter what the outcome, you should still be proud of what you’ve accomplished to get to this point. :slight_smile:

I’m positive many of you are more qualified than me, yet I was admitted yesterday as a pre Econ major, while still pending at UCR (among others). So don’t worry! Im convinced that they release decisions very randomly

For those of you who are still pending, click on the top right corner where it says check financial aid status,
what does it say for you?

@biochembbs9 Mine says to check back on March 22nd

@skyinthesky hmm mine too. I wonder if other people have something different written on there. I asked because my friends financial aid status showed up for UCR way before her acceptance letter. So maybe that’ll happen with us too if we check there on the 22nd. I don’t think they offer your financial aid status unless you’re accepted

@biochembbs9 I won’t receive financial aid though (did not do the FASFA since I really do not qualify for aid, but that’s ok I would rather it go to someone who needs it)

@skyinthesky I got around 5k for UCR idk if that’s considered much, but I’ll update u on the 22nd of anything changes on my account!

I just found an important post from last years thread

My app said pending yesterday but I was admitted this morning. Good luck to everyone

Yeah I think some of us will hear tomorrow

Gotta just keep updating our portals until something happens! @biochembbs9

im gnnna call ucsb admissions and ask to confirm if we really have to wait till the 2nd and 18th to find out about remaining decisions.

@Skepta please keep us posted!

Does anyone know if the different UCs offer similar financial aid packages? I haven’t been accepted to riverside but my preliminary financial aid package from them has over $20k in grants and I’ve been accepted to UCSB but packages won’t be posted until tomorrow earliest.

Riverside is reaaaally generous.
I’ll just say that. They really hooked up my bf for his PhD program and they gave me something nice for Regents.
I think you’ll find a similar package from UCSB if your grants are need-based! :slight_smile:
UCSD covered all of my tuition, too (so ~30k).

as @biochembbs9 mentioned before, what do all of your financial aid statuses say??
Especially for those pending

still pending and my financial aid says march 22nd
