UCSB Fall 2018 Transfer Thread (Including TAG)

@franklin9 Thank you! I don’t have it yet but hopefully, it appears soon :slight_smile:

@kateee same thing happened to me. My counselor said that if it doesn’t show up by midday it wouldn’t be unjustified to give ucsb a call. However, they’re a small team dealing with thousands of prospective students.

I know waiting sucks, but patience and all that /:

What would make sense is to release the decision in thirds. 1/3rd on the 20th, 1/3rd on the 2nd, 1/3rd on the 16th? Well, not exactly that but better than 75% lol

Haven’t gotten accepted yet, but did we have to submit any additional financial aid info or was it just the FAFSA and Cal Grant?

Got my unofficial finaid today. Glad ucsb is being better than Ucsc… >.>

@SmartJarhead only fafsa and calgrant. And you’re good to go! :smiley: good luck!

@OhHeyThere69 Awesome thank you! And congrats!

For those admitted and not seeing their award letter:
“…Our Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships is uploading thousands of unofficial award letters at this time, so thank you for your patience! Please continue checking and they should be posted by the end of this week!”
This is from the Ucsb admissions twitter page

More from their twitter account, in response to a pending decision:
“…Did you apply for transfer? If so, we release transfer decisions on a rolling basis. Check your portal again April 2nd, 16, and the 30th at the latest! :)”

UCSB admissions twitter account just confirmed that there’s no order whatsoever for the rolling admissions and that being highly qualified doesn’t mean an earlier decision. This makes sense since just on this thread alone ppl with high gpa’s even with TAG haven’t heard back.

does anyone understand how the financial aid status thing works? i went through the summary & i don’t think i entirely understand the numbers & what is being offered

@matchamilktea it’s broken down by quarter and then it’ll list federal grants, school grants,and then loans.

@biochembbs9 Cool :slight_smile: good luck!! Maybe we will end up at the same place haha

@ihatewaiting00 ahhh, perfect. thank you! :slight_smile:

sigh
Decision still pending
Tag: Yes
Major: psychology and brain sciences

Guess April it is…

me: knows the next batch of decisions wont come out for another 10 days

continues to check portal every hour anyway

Wait, so ucsb releases decisions in batches?

Guys I’m sick and tired of checking all my portals every hour especially when I know decisions are not even coming this soon but I’m gonna go refresh my portals rn anyways

@Charlie117 according to their official twitter yes

so I didn’t manually report my AP score to UCSB but it shows on my portal.
did they somehow import it automatically from my app?
