UCSD FALL 2016 TRANSFER THREAD

@grimmghost Right there with you… I’m more than sure it should be today at 5 though. The tension is just right. :expressionless:

I really hope that the thing about them releasing decisions today is true, since I have been checking the portal multiple times a day for over a month.

Major: History
GPA: 3.62 (only non A’s so far are a C in Calc 1 from my first semester and a B in Eng 202H)
Accepted: UCSB, UCSC
Still waiting (aside from the school on which this thread is focused on): UCD, UCI

I got one of those emails. I applied to UCLA, UCSD, UCI and UCB.

I was accepted to UCI a while ago but… man. Im missing pre-reqs for UCSD and UCLA and one for Berkeley. My CC counselors didnt differentiate between recommended and required so… we shall see.

@Escapyst UCSD don’t really care about prereqs as long as your GPA is high

@avc118 Well, thats good! Any chance avc is where you are from? XD

@Escapyst from the bay area. You?

Ah, no. LA area. Dang. XD

hoping for decisions today!!

major: philosophy/alternate: religious studies (i plan on double-majoring anyway!)
GPA: 3.93 (one B, otherwise As)
major GPA: 4.0
extracurriculars: group instructor for symbolic logic class at my california CC, TA for my department chair, merit scholarship for philosophical research paper, philosophy club participation, math/english tutoring for my nephew with learning disabilities.
personal statements: essentially centered around my love for philosophy and interest in studying it at the graduate level, as well as being a first-generation college student and aspiring professor, etc. i really enjoyed writing both prompts so i hope that this is evident in my essays.
pre-reqs: not really sure about these. i took what was available to me besides a fall-only ancient phil survey & i’m slated to take ethics this summer if i get into a UC. so i have intro, critical thinking, logic, and world religions.

i wasn’t admitted to UCSB so i’m terrified. i’ll have my math and science IGETC requirements done this spring.

@avc118 “UCSD don’t really care about prereqs as long as your GPA is high”

Try telling that to a prospective CS major. I have a high GPA, but I’m missing several prereqs. Considering the impacted status and that students need a 4.0 to declare CS from within UCSD–I have little hope.

@microt ah… true. I forgot about impacted majors. GPA matters the most for non-impacted majors.

lol

no it wasn’t…

@justin7473 Woah, lol. It was a joke, decision day makes people so uptight. :slight_smile:

I wasn’t being uptight, just saying it wasn’t, lol

@justin7473 Oh, okay, haha. Please excuse my deliriousness from here until decision time. 8-}

so is it for sure they are coming out today? too much anxiety

just made a group chat for uc transfers http://xat.com/UCLAFALL2016TRANSFERS

Yea i second the are we sure its today Q, UCLA apps are sure it is today like their admissions website is down rn, has anyone talked to some at UCSD? or any one connected?

@ricardomata83 there should be a special ban on this forum for falsifying the facts and disinformation. I am following them and they did not tweet this. In fact, they did not tweet anything today, so get your facts straight.

A joke - huh? Do you think that getting people’s hopes up is funny??? My eye is already twitching after a month of waiting and stressing out. If you don’t get accepted, I will laugh then. Maybe even hysterically. Because THAT would be funny.

@lenocturne +1 for the eye twitching. the stress has been killing me
