UCSB Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

When was the last time anybody received a decision from UCSB? Are they actually waiting until the 30th to release the rest?

I guess UCSB is gonna release the rest of pending after 24th, the day UCLA drops. /…lol…/

@pandaman115 I think they’re supposed to be rolling (after April 15th, which has now passed). Maybe they’re just taking a break this weekend? I hope they don’t wait until the 30th to tell everyone else. ?

@rigginthebox where did you hear that?

@Trutin No one, its just my mind, because I’ve been refreshing the portal like everyone else who is still pending. To comfort my myself …lol best to everyone.

@rigginthebox yeah it sucks that we have to wait so long it is so stressful not knowing yet. It’s Easter so they probably are just taking a break. Oh well good luck everyone!

Is anyone going to a Friday Transfer event? I registered for May 10

Can someone give me some info about being waitlisted? The date for an answer is June 30th, and SIR for other UC’s is June 1st. I got into UCI and UCB but I got the hefty financial aid package from UCSB (pending acceptance).

What am I supposed to do, SIR at two schools and take the fee because UCSB is dragging their feet?

@misseskite Yes, you have to SIR to another UC first if you’re wait-listed at the one you want to go to (unless you magically find out before June 1st). One of my friends had to do that last year.

@cloud7 well that sucks…

Ive been lurking on here for awhile now but never posted, is anyone else still pending? This whole thing is driving me nuts and I can’t help but check every 10 minutes.

I do know that if you got the application fee waiver, the SIR deposit fee is waived and added to your billing account associated with the campus you SIR at

I called sometime last week to ask if my acceptance was due to TAG. Anyway, a transfer admissions counselor said they had more applications to review, so I hope this gives everyone relief!

@the444 yep still pending. I am a CS major what about you?

I’m a sociology major and I also did TAG so I’m just worried that since I haven’t heard from them already that it’s a rejection ?

TAG people don’t worry. I tagged to SB and got my acceptance a little later than others and started to panic, but as long as you have everything checked off, you’ll be ok. The order decisions come out seems random.

@queen_ofthenorth It’s so weird, at first I thought they were doing it by major but at this point it just seems completely random.

@the444 I was hoping it was by major too but then someone got into my major a month ago and it’s spooked me ever since. They were an OOS transfer tho and I’m CCC so I’m hoping they just did OOS first.

@pandaman115 That’s interesting, you would think they would at least prioritize us over OOS transfers

Still pending as well literature major.
