<p>I would call the colleges and see if you can contact the person who receives the online request and see if they can accommodate for your unique situation. I wouldn’t rely on some online form, it’s too important! what if it gets sent to the wrong place or gets lost? </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you would have to submit both, I dont see why one college would send another transcript unless you had them add all your grades from your other college to their system. Better safe than sorry? or you can just ask them if they do that. </p>
<p>AS for the the deadline, someone said it just had to be postmarked, but I didnt see any sources so I am wondering the same, anyone know?</p>
<p>MrRevelle:
Wow seems like we have eaxctly the same situation here! I spent my first two years of highschool overseas too! And when I registered for the local highschool they looked at my transcripts from that overseas school and assign classes for me accordingly.
So the classes I attended overseas are on the transcript issued by this local high school. Does that mean I don’t have to submit another transcript? It’s really hard for me to request a transcript from that overseas school now coz I left like five years ago and I’m not even in that place right now??</p>
<p>Another question-- I just checked on the application status site and realized that I has been accepted…but I have not received any “official notification” from UCSD yet… other than submitting the SIR&SLR forms and sending transcripts, is there anything else I need to do?
Will they send me a catalog or something? I have no idea what classes I’ll need to take in this coming quarter! So clueless!</p>
<p>I guess I sent one of my transcripts to the wrong place…
Instead of “Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools”, I sent to “Undergraduate Admission Office” (which doesn’t exist I suppose)…
Do I need to request a new copy and re-send it…？</p>
<p>By the way, does anyone happen to know if TAG-students need to request a separate TAG completion certificate from the community college attended or just the regular transcript?</p>
<p>Dominic, If “official notification” you mean e-mail or snail mail, there is none that I know of. Besides transcripts and IGETC certification, if you’ve taken any AP or IB exams, you’ll have to request for the testing agency to send a copy of your scores to UCSD admissions.</p>
<p>Not sure about them sending catalogs through the mail, though i’m pretty sure they’ll have a online catalog available soon for the 2010 Winter quarter. As for what classes to take, I have the same problem, maybe I should research more on that. </p>
<p>Yes, if those two classes are UC-transferable, those credits will transfer. Oh and if you didn’t know yet…once you transfer you’ll start off on a clean slate aka no GPA. This could be either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how well you do after you transfer. However, graduate schools (if you plan to apply) WILL look at your community college GPA AND UCSD GPA, so you should keep that in mind.</p>
<p>Feelhopeless, From my perspective you can either:</p>
<p>A.) Keep looking at “MyTritonlink” for a couple of days and hope that they recieved it and processed it. If not, request another transcript sent from your CCC. Though I wouldn’t wait too long due to the deadline.
B.) Request another transcript sent from your CCC right now and know for sure you sent to the correct address.</p>
<p>If you’re talking UCSD’s TAG, there is no “TAG completion certificate” since its a paperless contract this time around. Your community college transcript will suffice. HOWEVER, if you’re talking about the IGETC certification, you’ll have to either talk to your admissions office or counseling office to have that completed.</p>
<p>dominicfhk: Wow, yeah same exact circumstances. It seems that they just want the high school you graduated one since they wanna verify the foreign language and the American History requirements. I don’t think they would care too much about the first school. Let us know what happens! :)</p>
<p>Raliem, really we would start off on a clean slate. I thought they would just combine the old or my CC GPA with the new one. Do you know if professional schools combine them or just look at each one separately ? </p>
<p>Dominicfhk, you do not need to do anything else unless they request something. You would also need to talk to a counselor to know what classes you need to take OR go to an orientation ( which you have to pay for it, IF it is available for winter-transfer students). So it is better if you can make an appointment with a counselor to see what you need to complete !</p>
<p>@&rew, professional schools look at all your grades. Grad schools factor in all your college work and gpa when you apply. I know thats what med school does.</p>
<p>Raliem I know that we get a clean slate at UCSD, and I guess like you said grad schools still look at both , but do you know how law schools go about it? I’m just curious.</p>
<p>Also can you guys double check me on this… when we want to accept the SIR there’s nothing that really says I accept, you just make the online payment and that should do it? or did I do it wrong?</p>
<p>i am still deciding between ucsd and ucsc. (chem engineering, warren) everyone keeps saying ucsd is “better” which i do not understand at all. The laws of nature do not vary from one college or the other so how can one have better science departments than the other. Understandably ucsd has more money for research but my friend who graduated in physics from ucsd said undergrads get the really ****ty tasks when participating in research. And based on the reviews the professors at ucsd do not ever help their students unless who are an exceptionally bright person.
Is it just because ucsd looks better on paper.</p>
<p>For what it’s worth, I’ve only heard good things about UCSC’s engineering programs, and the Baskin School of Engineering they have there. For example, they cap their junior/senior engineering courses at 30 people max, and many are smaller than that, so you get more individualized attention. I haven’t heard much about UCSD’s engineering program so I don’t know if that’s the case there, but I do know that engineering is one of the programs UCSC is known for, along with astrophysics (first or second in the nation in research, iirc) and linguistics.</p>
<p>Oh I see. I thought they would send us a “welcome package” or at least an “official notification of admission” once students are accepted. </p>
<p>Hmm, regarding the transferrable classes I’m taking right now, I just wonder how they can get transferred before the winter 2010 class registration starts coz I’m not sure if upper-division classes require completion of Math 122, which I’m still taking at the moment and won’t finish by 12/17. Anyway…maybe I should find a way to talk with a counselor?
Anyone knows when the registration starts?</p>
<p>Mr.Revelle,
I hope so! We’ll see…I hope they won’t “suspend” us if they really do expect us to turn in the transcripts from the first school we attended.
I emailed them earlier concerning the issue and they have not responded yet. Let’s see~!</p>
<p>Kween, i’m not so well-versed in law school admissions. You’ll have to research the law school you plan to attend as they probably all have different admissions requirements. </p>
<p>Oh and once you made your online payment for SIR (unless you had a fee waiver),you electronically submitted your SIR to UCSD. So i’m sure you’re fine.</p>
<p>Treverp, seriously whether you go to UCSD or UCSC is totally up to you. Both schools are superb universities that will provide you with an excellant education. What you DO with your time there however will affect your future. The research, connections, and internships that you do in your remaining undergraduate career will be far more important to future employers than any “prestige” that ANY university will give you. If you have to pick, choose the one you feel the most comfortable being at and go for it! </p>
<p>Dominic, Oh, you’ll probably be able to enroll in your upper-divisional classes once you transfer. Since you’re under a contract to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA (C’s or higher) in your Fall semester classes, violating this contract would jeopardize your admission.</p>
<p>Oh, and here’s the registration and enrollment calender:</p>
<p>whe you apply to law school you need to go to LSAC ( law school admissions council) for more info.
I believe that lsac calculates your gpa from every class regardless of retake or academic renewal. But the good news is that law schools also look at difficulty of major and trends in your grades.</p>
<p>Q. When do I submit my official transcripts?</p>
<p>A: If you have been admitted, you can see your Contract for Provisional Admission on MyApplication after admission decisions are posted. This shows exactly which official documents we require to validate admission.
Students offered admission at UC San Diego must submit official transcripts from all schools attended. These must be postmarked no later than October 21. Please request that official transcripts from ALL high schools and colleges you attended be sent to:
UC San Diego
Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools
ATTN: TRANSCRIPTS
9500 Gilman Drive, Dept. 0021
La Jolla, CA 92093-0021</p>
<p>I would think IGETC certification would be the same. I got this from the FAQ provided from tritonlink.</p>
