Hello!
Admitted!!
Major: Environmental Systems: Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution
GPA: 3.94
College: Revelle
ECs: Help rehabilitate injured seals/sea lions with my free time.
First gen, low income, ptk member
Surprised I got in to be honest, I am missing a few major courses and I also dont have IGETC (but I have all of UCSDs min requirements)
Any other Environmental Systems majors here?
Does anyone know what happens at Transfer Fridays? Do we need to go to one? Is it like an alternative to Triton Day or…?
I got accepted into UCI for ChemE and UCSD for nanoengineering. I’m having trouble deciding between the two schools. Also, how can I change my major from nanoE to chemE? They are in the same department so I can’t imagine it being too hard
Admitted for transfer!
Major: Comp-Sci
Major pre-requisites: Completed. (However it says for CS that general PHY 1 and 2 are required but I took general PHY 1 and 3 at my CC, still not sure if they will ask me to take PHY 2)
IGETC: Will be done by the time I graduate
GPA: 3.8
Extra curr:
looking forward for hands on experience/internship opportunities and to study abroad next year!
accepted, 3.7, philosophy
Accepted! 3.6 GPA for International Studies at Roosevelt 
@coolfam Happy to know I’m not the only one 
@Ohm888 Agreed. Two F’s, whether or not they’re crucial classes, is not a good look. I might have to ask a counselor about this though…my big question would be for grad school, regardless if I get into UCSD. I know my UCSD gpa will reset with UCSD courses ONLY, but if applying to grad school, I’m under the impression they’ll look at all transcripts? And my GPA will be an average of UCSD GPA and CCC GPA…but exactly how they calculate that cumulative gpa is my question. If I happened to have 200 semester credits at a community college…would they really factor that into my cumulative GPA? or will they just take the first 70 (or 60) UC transferrable credits and disregard the rest? I can’t imagine a graduate admissions counselor putting more weight on electives than upper div courses, you know what I mean? If anything, it’d be a good look if I had a rocky GPA in CCC and just crushed my UC GPA (which I plan to do as I’m much more familiar with San Diego/ have more connections then when I first moved here).
I think I do have a (somewhat?) special case as a Marine vet, being that I’m leveraging my GI bill to stay afloat. These two classes that I would potentially fail, literally have no academic value to me (they have intrinsic value of course, because learning is priceless), at least from the perspective of someone who is transferring. Right now I have 66 UC transferrable semester credits. With the two essential classes (which I will get A’s or B’s in) I’ll finish end of Spring, I’ll have 72 credits. If I pull off C’s or higher in the other two courses (5 credit and 3 credit class) I’ll have 80 semester credits…10 more than they even allow. From an academic standpoint, it just doesn’t seem wise to me, especially knowing if my cumulative GPA only factors in 70 credits. From a financial perspective, I’ve stayed in the classes full time this last semester so that I can receive 100% financial aid. When I moved back from Japan, I moved to San Diego as a California-expat and didn’t have any connects-I just made things work, and the financial aid really gave me a foot in the door!
So what do you think Ohm, shall I boldly email them right now? “Look UCSD, I’m going to fail these two classes whether you like it or not. You don’t need them, and I don’t need them, except for financial reasons. I’m old. I’m cranky. My back hurts when I get out of the bed in the morning. Don’t make me come down there UCSD. Sincerely, future graduate, saltier than King Triton himself.” Elegant right? That just might work…my finals are 5 weeks away, so if I literally tell them I’m going to fail these right now…seems like it’s my skillfully crafted (unorthodox as it may be) plan, right? 
Edit: Also, way too late to get W’s, and if I withdrew from those classes, I’d have to pay back a significant portion of money, which is not feasible whilst living by myself in this big ol’ scary California land.
Accepted for CS 4.0 igetc done and all prereqs done after semester
@stackofsocks Congratulations on getting accepted to UCSD!! I just realized Triton day is on the exact same day as Bruin Day ( WHYYYY) so I probably won’t be able to visit UCLA anymore… I’ll let you know what I find out about the Japanese/study abroad program when i go though!
Also I was selected for bridges transfer so I’ll be at UCB on May 4th! I’m leaning towards UCSD since it’s the most financially convenient campus for me but definitely want to see what UCB has to offer before I make my final decision
@tacoturnup I like your style. That message would have my vote. ?
Being a vet will help, for sure. I think you need to contact them. Tell them the course is being retaken with a high grade and just say you took on more than you could chew. Now that I know more details, I’m leaning toward the Marine for the win.
I hear some people who put cs and ce for their second, get accepted for applied math at ucsd instead? Whats up with that?
@Ohm888 Thank You for the moral support :’) I will contact them this week!
@tacoturnup good luck!!!
Does UCSD offer regents to transfers? And if so when are they releasing?
@kristinpete thank you. I really appreciate it. I’m just so shocked. I really didn’t want to leave San Diego and had just felt completely qualified for the global health major and really UCSD in general. ?
Hi guys I need help!
I got into UCSD but only with the alternate major (Human development) that I chose randomly.
My declared major was psychology B.S. and I have all major prep done for psychology with a 4.0 GPA.
I am so frustrated!
Am I able to change the major if I attend?
Thank you!
Is it because you put common as your alternate major?
I am in similar circumstance.

Is it possible to switch major?
@Luckyilo I was wondering the same thing. Does anyone know what Transfer Fridays are all about?
