UCSB Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

Financial aid plan changes for that

@vrios95 Are you local to SoCal too? I’ve never visited but it looks beautiful and I think I would be very happy there too. I applied to Comp Lit for SB, Comp Lit for UCLA, and Literary Journalism for UCI. So nice to find another Literature major!

Anyone attending the UCSB Arts and Humanities Reception at Santa Monica College next week? Not sure if this is the location for all those in the LA area?
Heads up - you’re supposed to RSVP. They send you a confirmation email with a QR code to get in.

No, too busy waiting for decisions

@StudentAgain

Accepted!!!

OMG !!! I really didn’t think I was gonna get in because it was taking so long. I literally check my portal 5 times a day and I checked right now for the 3rd time and I was accepted.

Major Pre-Biology
GPA: 3.5
EC: great work history including being a manager at autozone at the age of 18 for 3 years. dental assistant etc…
5 honors classes 3 were science.

Oh!

IGETC: Done
missing physics only

Congrats to everyone accepted today!! This entire decision process at UCSB has been painful to watch! I think they should do one day like UCLA and UCB do.

@HeyItsNick UCB is on Friday right?

@DJCABO Yes!

welp still pnding

The fact that this pending could potentially last another two weeks is killing me…especially since so many people have already found out. I haven’t heard back form a single college yet, they’re all pending.

My brother who tagged got declined on the first day, I didn’t tag and have a really really bad GPA and I still haven’t found out… I feel bad

@DJCABO if he had all of his requirements and meets the minimum GPA, he should definitely appeal.

@StudentAgain Yes! I live in San Jacinto which is in Riverside county- dry and desert like, so it’s a nice geographical change. I highly recommend you visit the campus to see how you like it. When you get that gut feeling wherever you go, you know it’s the place to be! I’m going this Sunday to just explore the area. Everything is so nearby like a new target opening up. I like how I can take the bus or ride my bike wherever and I don’t need a car to move around. If I were to go to UCR I’d need a car. Geographically, UCR is not in the safest neighborhood. There’s no small college town feel like you’d get at UCD, UCSB or UCLA.

@vrios95 what about UCI, UCSD with UCSB, UCD, UCLA?

I used to live in san Jacinto you’re right. I stay in riverside now but i’m definitely gonna go to UCSB and Irvine to see what feels right. @vrios95
