UCSD Winter 2010 Transfers

<p>Ah, I wouldn’t worry about it. I got into Bioengineering with a 3.44 GPA. Just relax and wait.</p>

<p>And Lune, I would notify them regardless that you’re taking those classes during the Fall for a safety precaution. There is a CHANCE that it’ll jeopardize your admission, so I wouldn’t risk it and report to admissions that you’re taking classes during the Fall.</p>

<p>Oh, and I went to Grossmont College for my community college.</p>

<p>i went to Pasadena City College… my patience is running out : )
oh yea i wanna make sure that i’ve been checking the status in the right place. it is this web site right myapplication.ucsd.edu.???</p>

<p>That is correct.</p>

<p>Don’t worry, I still haven’t heard back either. If you are TAG certified you are guaranteed entry, and I’m sure the school is still just sorting through applications. They send out acceptances in waves. That’s how my friend Jake was notified for UCLA. My friend is actually starting school this Fall at UCSD as a transfer, and she was actually denied even though she was TAG certified last semester. Apparently UCSD messed up on a bunch of TAG transfers and didn’t accept them. So then once the TAG kids went through this whole long process of getting everything cleared up, they were given admission. I’m sure UCSD is taking that long then because they don’t want to mess up like THAT again. Especially when they also sent out those 29,000 acceptances…</p>

<p>hey raliem, for bioengineering, did you have all the prereqs done, and if not, how many missing… you are making me wish i chose a different major :confused: are you premed?</p>

<p>I’m not a San Diego City Community College student, but I am in the county. I went to Cuyamaca College and Grossmont College. I had not sent in my transcripts or IGETC certification before getting accepted. Cummulative gpa is barely below 3.5 and science gpa is ~3.3.</p>

<p>Maybe it’s an age thing? I bet I’m one of the older transfer students here…maybe the oldest.</p>

<p>Um to the person who called the admissions officer, is it ok if we sent it in ahead of time (like earlier this month) because I’m out of the country(study abroad in london) so I just had all my school send my transcripts before I left hoping I wouldn’t have to worry about it once I’m here/accepted. Is it fine that I did this or do I have to somehow arrange for both my schools to send the transcripts/my igetc over again?</p>

<p>If no ones sure, could someone call ucsd admissions for me and find out, so i could avoid ridiculous long distance charges…!</p>

<p>Please!</p>

<p>You can send them in, but they prefer you to send them after you have been admitted.</p>

<p>i think you need your high school transcripts on file with your cc and all ucsd is worried about is if they get certification from you by the 21 of october. I may be wrong but i am pretty sure that tht is how it works</p>

<p>for anyone that is waiting for ucsc why would you go there as apposed to ucsd. I feel like i would fit in better at ucsc and i heard the campus is absolutely amazing. Any info please on UCSC</p>

<p>Also if UCSD sends you an offer does that mean they prequalified you for IGTEC or did they assume i was honest on my application. Every one is talking about two years foreign language, is that 2 years in high school or 4 semesters at college. It is making me nervous</p>

<p>It can be two years at a CC or high school. I’m imagine they would prefer if you’ve taken it recently, but either one is fine.</p>

<p>For example, at Pierce there’s no minimum # of foreign language classes. As long as you pass a 2nd level language class (i.e. Spanish 2) or equivalent (2 years in HS), you’re fine. If you’re feeling confident, and haven’t taken any foreign language classes, you can even just dive into a class like Spanish 2 without having taken Spanish 1 (wish I had known this before I took Spanish 1 last semester, I could’ve had this semester off…) </p>

<p>On the other hand, if you took the 2 years of Spanish in HS, and you’re using that for IGETC, make sure your CCC has your official HS transcript. They need that in order to fully certify IGETC, they won’t just go on your word.</p>

<p>hmmm that’s odd… because I’m already IGETC certified, and I only took one class French 1 at a CC, and I was just looking at my CC’s igetc form and it only require you to take one class in college and it doesnt have to be level 2… because I guess one class in college is equivalent of 2 years in high school</p>

<p>"UC ONLY: LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH: The requirement may be met by one of the following:
• A course at ECC: Chinese 1, French 1, German 1, Italian 1, Japanese 1, Sign Language 15≠ , Spanish 1, 52A, 52B.
• Two years of high school coursework in a language other than English with a final grade of C or better. The two years must be in the same language
(high school transcripts must be on file with ECC).</p>

<p>acceptance has nothing to do with age. i’m doing TAG and i’m willing to bet that i’m one of the youngest ones transferring. I graduated high school and turned 18 in June of 2008.</p>

<p>lune i’m younger by a few months =P
sept. 08 is when I turned 18</p>

<p>lol we’re the youngest ones applying then</p>

<p>I’m guessing that the acceptance notifications are by the weekly basis by the looks of it.</p>

<p>Anyone taking any Fall classes before transferring? I’m taking Physics III and Molecular Biology this fall so i’ll be finishing all my lower division courses before transferring. It’s a shame because our final exams end at December 21st.</p>

<p>Not really that odd, kweenovharts. Almost every CCC has different course requirements for IGETC. My example was just for Pierce, and to answer that one guy’s question, where he wasn’t sure if he needed 4 semesters of foreign language at CCC.</p>

<p>And to those who were accepted: Anyone know what time of day they changed your admission status to “congratulations”?</p>

<p>Not sure, but I looked at around 2 PM (9/21/09) or so and saw that I was admitted. So i’m guessing 12 PM was the time when they changed the admissision status.</p>
