Do you guys know if it is possible to do summer school? Is there a counselor that I could talk to?
@Tsumugukihara I think it is possible but not 100% sure of the process. I know they have a couple of different summer sessions. My daughter was admitted but has not yet submitted her SIR. Have you submitted yours? I was thinking once a student submits the SIR, there will be information about that? Also, at Transfer Triton Day, one of the sessions at 9:00 a.m. is meant to “Inform students of academic services: SI, content tutoring, leaning strategies, and Summer Programs.” You can also try to call the admissions office and ask to speak to a counselor.
I SIR’d thursday night. They told me in a few days I will get an e-mail with log-in information for ‘Tritonlink’, which is where you basically do all things UCSD related from registering in classes to paying your fees, etc.
I also will be taking 2 classes, 1 during summer session 1, and another during summer session 2. Basically, you SIR, wait a few days to get Tritonlink information, then you can register for summer classes. You will have to also contact the advisor for your major to get them to clear the pre-reqs for the classes. I think you just send them an e-mail with your unofficial transcripts, and then you will be cleared for the summer classes.
Thanks @futurebruin205, that’s super helpful!
@futurebruin205 Thanks I’ll give them a call tomorrow
Do you think my reason will be a legit one to tell them though?
I would just SIR to UC Davis with ur girlfriend. There is a high chance your girlfriend will not get off the waitlist. And that way you guys can get ahead of doing stuff… like start looking for housing, register for orientation, summer classes, etc.
Is there some sort of facebook group for admitted transfer students?
@poolsideconvo78 yes there is - my daughter joined it. Search on Facebook for UCSD Transfer 2019 (Class of 2021) and when the results come up, click on Groups if you don’t see the group showing up in your results.
Interesting. Seems like I can complete missing prereqs in and after Fall 2019 (doesn’t have to be this summer). I just got a reply from an UCSD admission officer. I emailed them because I got admitted without completing all the prereqs (I did not complete Calculus 2, Calculus 3, and maybe the second english composition).
This is what the admission officer said:
For the UC English composition requirement, you have completed the AP English exam as well as ENG 101. Also, Math 140 is deemed UC transferable. An official determination of your other courses will be made after we have received and reviewed all official transcripts later this summer.
Yes, you may complete any other lower division prep at the University. You will meet with your College advisor and your major department’s advisor.
@sagaciousforever i’m waiting to get my Tritonlink information still
@futurebruin205 Good luck!
I haven’t committed to UCSD yet. I currently study at Pepperdine and I am waiting for USC. If I get into USC, I will go there. If not, I will choose between UCSD and Pepperdine.
@sagaciousforever you said you only had one English course. You also had AP English? Maybe I missed that. All I ever heard was one English course. Good news!
@Ohm888 I took AP English Language and Composition in high school and got a 3 in the AP test so I guess that transferred as UCSD’s first english.
However, English 101 that I took at Pepperdine (Pepperdine only accepts 4 or 5 for english) is also equivalent to UC’s first english. So I guess I did not complete UC’s second english, but UCSD thought that I have finished both?
Anyways, UCSD lets me to take all missing lower division classes at UCSD now. Good news for sure!
Hopefully, I will make USC. If not, I will choose between Pepperdine and UCSD.
@sagaciousforever I recognize your name from the USC thread. I am in the same boat as you, got into UCSD and a few other schools but anxiously waiting for USC. If you applied for Marshall at USC, what major and college did you get accepted for at UCSD?
Anyone know how it takes to receive your ucsd email? I received my triton checklist yesterday
You mean tritonlink login? I SIR’d thursday and am still waiting for tritonlink login. When did you SIR and when did you get tritonlink login?
