#ASKMSSUN UC DECISIONS UPDATE#

UCs do not consider geographical location when making admission decisions.I think it’s ok for you to pad the list with high school activities if you have nothing else to add, but activities you partake after high school should get priority. In the UC Application, focus on activities AFTER high school.Otherwise you may become ineligible if you miscounted AP credits or unknowingly lost some units due to credit limitation. Try to have a comfortable cushion above the 60-semester/90-quarter minimum unit requirement.

I think you can get away with finishing the English and Math requirements in winter term as long as you can report the grades while the Transfer Academic Update remains open, which is to the end of March (the grades will not count in the GPA used for admission evaluation, but they will assure the UCs that you passed the required courses).

This may mean listing all of your ESL classes or non-transferable English classes, or non-transferable math classes, to show that you have a consistent record of doing well in them (that also means you should not be taking these classes P/NP). For example, showing that you have completed prerequisite courses (even if they are not transferable) with good grades.

If you are completing the requirements in Spring prior to transfer, you need to demonstrate good progress toward successful completion of those courses.

You MUST complete the English and Math requirements before the end of Fall term to be competitive for admission.

However, some UCs MAY use the information for selection.

Winter grades submitted through Transfer Academic Update are NOT calculated into the GPA used for admission evaluation.

The UCs want you to know that your previous transfer application(s) are available and will be reviewed/compared to your current transfer application (note that your freshman application will NOT be reviewed if you are applying as a transfer) make sure there are no discrepancies between your applications or preemptively offer an explanation if discrepancies exist.

I did my best to label the information (with headings) to make scanning through everything easier.

The information below is accumulated from previous Ensuring Transfer Success conferences (up to Fall 2016) and not likely to change dramatically in the foreseeable future.

If you want to get my notes (include my opinions and interpretation of the updates) of the sessions I attended (systemwide/campus updates, advanced evaluation, and UC Application), you may purchase a back issue of my September 2023 transfer newsletter here for $25 ( remain on the payment page after you pay and you will be redirected to the PDF – please note, purchase of a digital product is NONREFUNDABLE). To obtain current updates, you have the option to wade through comprehensive information provided by the UCs in the Quick Reference Guide to UC Admissions (86 pages about half of the guide covers transfer admissions) or the presentation slides/notes from the September 2023 UC Ensuring Transfer Success conference. I no longer make the updates publicly available due to multiple incursions by the UCs.

This is a repost of my last public UC transfer admission update (from Fall 2016). Current College Students, Intercampus Transfers, International Students, Transfer Applicants
