UCSD Fall 2018 Transfer Thread

@NaniMata yeah no problem! Woah, UCI still didnt get back to you?! I heard back like 1-2 weeks ago. You should try shooting an email to admissions cause calling would just lead you to the receptionists.

For the informed delivery thing that everyone was talking about yesterday, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t know if the package was coming until it reached your local post office. So they could have mailed them yesterday but we wouldn’t know if it was on its way until the day it is scheduled to be delivered.

Just wait, UCSD will chance you in a few days lol

What time does UCLA/UCSD release the decisions?

@Shaibleb UCLA will be at 5 pm Pacific on Wednesday; UCSD is all still speculation as to when they’ll do anything.

@shaibleb UCLA decision will be out on 4/25/2018 (Wed )after 5pm

UCLA and Berkeley have already stated the date for releasing all the admission. But somehow UCSD didn’t say anything on it. Does anyone call them or have any idea when they will release their decision?

@jayshah12 wow I wish and I would call but I feel like they won’t really tell me much besides that they will release it by the 30th. I rather just wait honestly

People have called multiple times but no date has been given.

Argh, been hard to stop thinking about this. This week will be no sleep until Friday night

@justtransfer417 why? lol. the decision is not going to change based on how many hours u slept this week ;))

@Lesbehonest I guess im just curious as to what the decision is…radical, I know. :wink:

Ok, i just talked to a transfer supervisor from my school. She said she talked to UCSD yesterday, and the decisions have not came out yet, and it will def come out before the end of the month…

@loliluly we knew that in December tho - :))

I just found out I’m missing one course on IGETC. Would anyone like to give some input as to how does this affects my chances (considering my stats/background)?

Stats:
Major: Comp Sci Major
GPA: 3.81
EC: None, worked part time
Essays: Pretty good, had it reviewed by private counselor

My GPA is a little iffy, I’m a UCR dropout from a while back and when i filled out the transfer application they ask for all academic info so I put in all the Ds and a F I had.
On my current CC portal, it just shows that I have:
4.00 (58.00 Earned Units from CC)
2.00 (15.00 Earned Units from Other College Coursework)

and it lists the overall as 3.81. Do you think UCs would calculate GPA including all the failed UCR courses?

I guess total units I have is 73 but I don’t think all of those are transferable (ie. I took Public Speaking as as CSU req which I think UC doesnt need?) so I really don’t know how it’s going to be calculated. Anxious as hell waiting for decisions and just found out I wasn’t IGETC certified.

@justtransfer417 anxiety is a real thing for lots of people. Be lucky you don’t have trouble sleeping over things like this.

@jinyung2 You can do partial IGETC certification, which allows you to finish up to 2 missing IGETC courses later. I am also a Computer Science major with one remaining course for IGETC, and that is what I plan to do. As for how this will affect your chances, I don’t think it will at all. As far as I know, UCs focus more on major pre-reqs, rather than IGETC completion.

bois

I just called

Got pretty much the same answer that everyone else has (I told him I had an SIR to submit and I simply HAD to know, still nothing…). BUT, he did say that Friday is a “really good bet” since “historically it’s been released on Fridays.” I asked again and said “are you SUUUURE you can’t tell me anything else” and he said that he couldn’t “mainly because I don’t even know myself”

SOOOOOoooooo looks like it’s gonna be Friday?
