UCSD Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

Thank you all so much for taking the time to reply! My anxiety is through the roof!

The anxiety is killing me, I just created an account for this thread lol I was waitlisted at Davis and really hope I get in. Also, do you guys happen to know how easy it is to switch majors when/if you get accepted?

@NetflixJunkie As far as talking to students going to the university, if the majors are in the same college it is fairly straightforward to switch, but very difficult if major is outside college and is impacted.

Well Monday down, 4 more to possibly go

damn UCSD is really playing with my heart and soul rn :confused:

I have around the same GPA. Mine is around a 3.6. We have a good shot. As long as you have IGETC, pre-req, great EC’s and personal insight essays then we should have a good shot.

Is your major just general sociology? @soc1997

im also a sociology major with a 3.5! i applied under Law and Society I’m really hoping to get in!

A possible explanation as to why UCSD is taking longer than previous years is that supposedly, this year UC’s received a record number of applicants. I heard UCLA received over 100,000 applications while Harvard received approximately 40,000 this year. More applications to review = Longer for decisions to be released

Please do let me know if you get in!! Wishing you the best of luck!

It’s Sociology with an emphasis in Law and Society @NaniMata

@soc1997 ayee I’m a Sociology major with an emphasis in Medicine and Science! I think its awesome as UCSD offers these emphasis !

hey guys quick question, How do we know that UCLA releases on Wednesday?

@Vaneeters it’s been confirmed by multiple sources, and if you call the admissions office their answering machine states their target for releasing transfer admissions is the 25th after 5!!

When I call I just get a line busy?

(310) 825-3101 @cunningsloth I’m sure if you call right now, you’ll get the answering machine

Did you see last years stats on the university of cal page I think you have a high chance especially cause your major has an emphasis @soc1997

Omg I finally meet someone with the same major!! @jayshah12 best of luck!

Oh no way! How do I see that? @NaniMata
