University of California Transfer Students Fall 2007 OFFICIAL THREAD!!!

<p>The counselors at my school have their hearts in the right place, and are great generalists, but when it comes to one’s individual situation, I learned early on (due to my freaky individual situation) that no one provides better counseling than oneself. Counselors are a good source of information, but always, always, get second, third, and sometimes fourth opinions. Very often I had to physically go to the schools I wanted to transfer to to talk to their counselors to get the answers I needed.</p>

<p>“IGETC will be completed” raises warning flags because it sounds very vague. I’d have assumed it meant that IGETC will be completed according to the individual UC’s timeline. I’d have phoned each individual UC’s admissions office to clear it up.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but I assume that a summer class would not be covered by the year of application’s financial aid package, if it’s covered by any financial aid package at all. I tried taking a summer class once at UCR and, at least during that particular summer, the credits were full price regardless.</p>

<p>unknown:
it’s pretty funny. i had one quarter unit missing (which the ucr notified me of) and i quickly enrolled in a short term class. why don’t u check u class schedule, seriously.</p>

<p>okay, if u were ELIGIBIE FOR UC AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, THEN U ARE ELIGIBLE FOR UC AT TRANSFER LEVEL. this peculiar rule may not be entirely true for some uc’s like ucla. but it is crucial that u have had checked the box “was eligible for uc at high school (or something to that effect).” </p>

<p>i guess the main thing we’re discussing right now is about uc eligibility right? because lack of units is a question of eligibility.</p>

<p>For those of you who applied to UCLA, did you all get an email from UCLA suggesting you to apply for the alumni scholarship?</p>

<p>yeah I just got one right now</p>

<p>i didnt…i guess i should take it as a sign</p>

<p>^Its only for community college transfers. Don’t freak out.</p>

<p>yea i got one too. the minimum gpa to apply is 3.75. Maybe that’s why some didn’t get it? i wouldn’t read into it too much.</p>

<p>So sakura, applying to physci @ ucla right? What prereqs will you have by spring?</p>

<p>Sorry to repeat myself, but does anyone know when UCSB updates its site.</p>

<p>(i hate having to check multiple times a day).</p>

<p>I am a cc transfer, 3.82, and TAP. I have not seen anything from UCLA on the scholarship. Then again, I got the “current student library” e-mail from UCSD, and still haven’t heard a word from them. </p>

<p>Is everyone else getting the UCLA e-mail?</p>

<p>skaterkid its at 12am for ucsb</p>

<p>^I didn’t get it…but I’m not a CCC student.</p>

<p>what are the uc scholarships for non-cc students (that don’t require ca residency)? i couldn’t find ANY at ucla, cal, ucd, or ucsc… none that i can still apply for.</p>

<p>are the uc’s usually generous to oos students? i feel like most of the money is reserved for ca residents… so even if i AM accepted, i’ll be screwed on tuition.</p>

<p>^yup socal?..you are screwed.</p>

<p>most of the scholarships, grants, etc are funded from state funds.at my campus, they dont give squat to oos students.</p>

<p>Unfortantly I have to agree with the above posts. The way the state funding works, if your OOS, your basically screwed. </p>

<p>Check some of the threads about scholarships, they may have allot more information. I am only commenting from hear-say which is a very narrow perspective. </p>

<p>Anyone else got the UCLA scholarship e-mail?</p>

<p>AIM chatroom?!?</p>

<p>i was on the UCLA boards the other day, SoCal?, and, one of the foos up on there was talkin about how he was an oos applicant and he got a 24 k loan…with 0 grants.</p>
