I was wondering if UCSB weights major prep around the same as schools like ucla. I’m honestly pretty surprised I got in with so much major prep not completed.

Also, if I’ve been admitted as pre chem, does that mean I can matriculate into chemical engineering rather than biochem?

Thanks yall and good luck!

I just checked the portal again and their major change requests are pretty clear cut. Short answer to myself: No I can’t change to Chem E

Ugh if we don’t hear back today, is it safe to assume we’re being rejected or wait listed [-O<

Admission Status: You’re Admitted! Fall 2018 - Transfer
Admitted Major: Philosophy

GPA: 3.93
Transfer student from UCSD

Couldn’t be happier :slight_smile:

Admitted!!!
Major: pre-psychology and brain sciences
GPA: 3.3 (UC gpa)
Pre-req: all done
IGETC: done
EC: a lil volunteer work at the VA hospital and have been a full time nanny for the past 3 years.

My cumulative gpa right now is a 3.1 from sdccd, so I was sooo nervous about getting into any UC’s. If they read the PIQ’s at all then I’m positive those really helped me out.
Anyway! So so soooo happy. We’ll see what happens with the rest of the decision and maybe I’ll see some of you this fall!
Happy Sunday

@Catsandphysics I would not worry too much about it, it is just rolling admissions. My best friend got rejected in the first batch, and I got accepted in the second, and it seems that from the thread that each batch has had acceptances/rejections/waitlist so I would not worry too much. It is such a bummer for those who still have to wait

Accepted!!!

GPA: 3.52
Major: Pre-Political Science
IGETC: Finished by end of spring
Pre-reqs: One left, finished by end of spring.
ECs: Work at a tutoring center, stay home and take care of my sister, both parents work.
One year transfer.

Thank god, one down four to go lol

I TAGd but was not admitted and I met all the requirements, what could be the reason?

@hailey5799 so happy to see you get your first acceptance HAHAHA congrats girl!!

@Skepta you tagged but got rejected? but it’s supposed to be a guarantee…? that’s so weird

@Skepta Call admissions and ask them. I left a message with general questions the other day and they got back to me in less than a business day. Might not hurt to go through your application again, see if anything was wrong.

next step is an appeal. If there is some sort of error, appealing is much more successful if you can prove something was wrong on the app.

@chocstraw I triple checked with myself and had my counselor at my cc look over the applications b4 submitting that I met all TAG reqs, this makes no sense. I plan on calling them tmmrw.

Congratulations to all the ones who got accepted! I am unfortunately still pending but I think I know why because I got an email last week from UC about explaining my gap on my first year of college after high school so I had to submit a response. It might take awhile for me to get that processed probably.

When does the next batch of decisions come out?

Yay! Got admitted!!!
Major: Pre-Sociology
GPA: 3.61
Pre-reqs: All done except for one class I am taking this spring.
IGETC: Done
EC: I had soo many!

Now waiting on UCSD, UCLA, UCI, AND UCB

just sent an email to head of admissions and will be calling tmmrw. This is crazy! I TAGd with a 3.84, and even went over my application with an actual ucsb admisisons counselor to make sure my TAG was set before submitiing. The only course im missing for my major (econ/accouting) is accounting 1a/b which is NOT a requirment for TAG. I checked assist this morning and its still not a req, never was…

@Skepta Omg that is so messed up, you totally deserved to get in! I would fight for it!!!
@Christinesoh UCSB said the next batch will be the 16th, although the second batch came out today (a day early) so who knows!
