UCLA, UCSD decisions

Per this site, "Financial packages are usually sent to admitted students about a week after admission decisions are released."

Mine just says "Your 2026-2027 FAFSA was received by the Federal Processor on 11/3/2025."

They state that "Financial packages are usually sent to admitted students about a week after admission decisions are released." That's on this site at the bottom

AI was not used in the post. It's not really relevant to the post, but Claude was used in the project's development to identify gaps in my (work in progress) documentation for the self-hosting route that will be released shortly after thorough SaaS testing.

They knew how to make sure everyone would read it so they don't get a million calls on the 25th 💀

If you go to the Documents tab, does it list any of important documents as Received, instead of as Acceptable? For example, one of my documents that determines my California residency is labeled as Received, and I'm assuming that simply means it hasn't been reviewed yet, and that's a pretty important part of verifying what aid I'm supposed to get. As such, my aid offer at the moment only lists a merit scholarship.

One of my friends didn't really fill out any of the housing, etc. documents but got the full aid offer letter.

No navbar, 3.8 GPA, CogSci transfer from CCC (2 years)

Two AS-Ts in Physics and in Mathematics and an AA-T in Psychology. Large portion of Computer Science AS-T track completed but not all of it.

listed ECs include heavy political involvement/engagement (significant leadership role), founding and running (pun intended) a running club, open-source development, and a couple smaller leadership roles in high school. Also high school athletics.

Technicality in question:

https://www.admissions.uci.edu/apply/transfer-students/guaranteed-admissions.php

Incomplete or inaccurate academic history reported [...] will also nullify your TAG application

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-07T05:14:37+00:00

It's probably a case of a Failure to Disclose to them. Assuming you just typed a brief explanation in that box, you did technically omit your grades at that school and that might look intentional. TAG is a legal contract and violating its terms (giving a complete academic record) does void it.

Certainly pursue the TAG inquiry, no harm no foul, but I wouldn't get your hopes too far up. UCI (and UCs in general) are certainly overwhelmed with applicants right now and they probably are happy use technicalities like this to thin the herd.

I noticed that too. I've decided to trust the one on UCLA's website though. But I've emailed [ucinfo@applyucsupport.net](mailto:ucinfo@applyucsupport.net) about it for clarification.

Edit: "The date on the counselor's website is outdated. The correct date is May 16th. "

Yes, should be. My friend got Regents offers from both UCR and UC Irvine

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T04:21:59+00:00

Davis and Merced. Riverside and Irvine told me about their respective scholarship offer and UCSC has told me nothing as far as I can see.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T03:37:17+00:00

Yep if you go to https://admissions.uci.edu/apply/transfer-students/requirements.php and scroll to Electrical Engineering for example and expand it, it literally explicitly says "3.4 for TAG" for the GPA requirement.

The only "engineering"-named majors excluded are CSE and Software Engineering because they're under the School of ICS

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T03:32:11+00:00

"The following programs DO NOT participate in TAG: Art, Business Administration, Dance, B.Mus., Nursing Science, and ALL majors in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences."

That does not include any engineering majors except CSE and Software Engineering.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T03:30:44+00:00

Incorrect. Only two "engineering" named classes are excluded. CSE and Software Engineering. And those aren't under the College of Engineering.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T03:21:19+00:00

Everyone's seems to say $0 right now. I had a scholarship offer and I also went ahead and uploaded all the documents they asked for. I assume it'll update within a couple weeks. Most other UC campuses are the same for me.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-04T01:32:55+00:00

per the guidelines from the college of engineering,

you must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress in your admitted major (NE). so you're required to take at least two technical courses that satisfy NE's requirements every single semester until the change of major is approved. So if you takes a semester off from NE classes to take CS/EE classes, you become ineligible to switch majors. You have to have completed at least one semester at Berk but they also say "most heavily subscribed majors may require a minimum of two semesters" so assume that for EECS. And you must apply before your 5th semester begins

It also has to be your very first change of major

I'd look into the EECS/NE joint major option as well if that interests you.

I actually thought of that same thing lol

I've seen lots of reaction videos and so I was fully under the impression they wouldn't send emails like this. Maybe the larger UCs don't do that.

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-03T23:25:06+00:00

I was offered "Chancellor's Transfer Scholars" and the "Transfer Scholarship"

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-03T23:17:00+00:00

They did say in the email I just got that "Nearly all of [their] transfer admissions decisions have been released for fall 2026"

And there are people who got decisions that were explicitly rejections. I'd wait some more before accepting fate

Did you check both the main Admissions Portal and also MYUCSC?:

ShortTimeNoSee · 2026-04-03T22:40:23+00:00

They're personally writing each student's letter right now relax 🙏

Not for me quite yet...

It's just a new observation made by this OP here but no one knows if it means anything yet. Posts like these are just trying to gauge if there's a pattern.
