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

<p>lol trivia i had the same fears. dont trip.</p>

<p>I have a quick question for those who have already got into UCi. Have you guys already completed both of the required English classes? Is anyone’s english class still in progress? I heard that leaving required english class till the last semester would delay the admission decision.</p>

<p>UCs don’t even see the HS grades! I could have gotten all 4.0s all during HS or a 2.0 throughout and they wouldn’t know… they don’t know until you send HS transcripts after you’re accepted. </p>

<p>They DO NOT and COULD NOT take HS grades into consideration…</p>

<p>hey itskenney - my stats are exactly the same … 3.46 BizEcon Tap Certified. What a coincidence. I guess we will find out if Tap is enough for us to get in with our relatively low GPAs!!</p>

<p>I already got into UCI for the fall quarter and I’m taking my second English class at the moment.</p>

<p>SMITH I HOPE WE GET IN!</p>

<p>OH! so we’re not required have both english classes completed by the time we apply? So, if i take it during the fall that i apply, i would still be able to apply, but would it look bad in any way?</p>

<p>Is having your major prep done more important than the english and math requirement on the IGETC or vice versa? My major is poli sci at UCLA.</p>

<p>the english and math req are more important, in my opinion, because the major prereqs can be done in the spring. The english and Math are the basic requirements that will let admissions know if you are capable of handling college work.</p>

<p>Does anyone here know anything about inner UC exchanges? I have seen a few brief pages about them, where basically you are still a student at your univiersity, but are at a different UC for the year.
I go to UCSD and HATE it. I really want to transfer to UCSB, but my GPA is done exactly good. I have seen for transfering and inner UC exchange they basically say have above a 2.0, but can’t find any more information.</p>

<p>rdw, may I ask why you don’t like it at UCSD? The reason why I am asking is because I applied there, and I’d like to hear what current students think about the school.</p>

<p>Rdw,</p>

<p>Do you mean you wish to still earn your degree from UCSD, but take some courses at UCSB?</p>

<p>From what I can tell about inner UC exchanges is that they work the same way say foreign exchanges do. You are at a different university for a year, but pay tution to your home school. I was thinking that to be an option for if I couldn’t get into UCSB, and would try again in the fall.</p>

<p>The are a couple reasons I am hating UCSD, but I hate it a lot more than other people. For 1, I am in Revelle. That really shouldn’t need an explanation. All the rumors you here, they are true for the most part. I didn’t believe them. What makes it worse, is that I am in the Fleet housing, and the fleets are MADE to be antisocial. There is one suite per floor and I know the names of about 7 people comfortably. What makes it even worse is that I am in the RA suite, so instead of being with 12 girls, I am with 4, including the RA. Living with the RA isn’t bad, it just means that while most people knew 12 people at the beginning og the year, I knew 3, and it really is through your suitemates that you meet people.
The other reaons I cant stand it is I bust my ass off during the school week, I am CONSTANTLy working. Constantly having tests, essays, studying, but there is nothing to do on the weekends to relieve the stress. You have to have a car to get anywhere, and none of us have a car. Then, I am down for doing stuff, but my suitmmates never want to. Other colleges like MIT, UCB, they have the same level if not more work, but they have things to do, they have social lives which gives them that release.
I know that most people dont feel this way, but only one of my briends DOES NOT want to transfer out. I am the most adimate about it, but everyone else has said “I really wish I would haev gone ______ instead”. </p>

<p>And so now I am looking for transfer information…</p>

<p>anyone know if ucsc has sent out acceptances yet? i thought they usually start sending out decisions around the same time uci does.</p>

<p>No they havent they are going to start March 15th.</p>

<p>Wait, when does UCLA let us know their decisions?</p>

<p>late april :(</p>

<p>to uci applicants:
i am pretty sure transfer applications are done by least/more popular majors. im a history major applicant(not a popular uci major), and i got accepted the 20th of february!! i have two friends who are applying for the theater dept. (a very popular uci major) and are still waiting.so i think its just the more popular departments trying to filter their large number of applicants. </p>

<p>oh, and “rdw”…im from ucsb which has a HUGE DROP-OUT rate, so its easy to transfer there. although i wouldnt recommend it.</p>

<p>^what’s wrong with ucsb?</p>

<p>^nothing if you are looking to party ;)</p>

<p>UCLA decisions by late April? I thought all the UCs let us know their decisions my April 1! :(</p>

<p>Shucks.</p>

<p>which uc’s allow summer sessions to allow to make up for the unit requirements. is ucla included in that list?</p>
