UCSC started early admits last year. Before they would setup one day with notification times by applicants last name. Last year was different and it may not necessarily be repeated. According to their timeline, decisions for Freshman is March 15-30.
UCI admits Regent scholars and Honors program students near the end of February based on past years.
UCSB sends out Chancellor reception invites in February. Recipients of the invites are almost always accepted into UCSB.
In general, most decisions will be posted in March.
UCD posts all their decisions on the 2nd Friday of March again based on past years.

Both UCI and UCB sent out early admission to top students. Additionally, UCSB mailed Chancellors Reception invites and UCLA emailed Regents invites. Neither are an outright acceptance but both indicate a high likelihood of admission.
All students who are offered the Regents Scholarship will be invited to join UHP; the remaining invitations are based on an Undergraduate Admissions holistic review.
Regents is an academically based scholarship so a larger emphasis would be placed on GPA and test scores.
As a current student: Select high performing, high potential UC Davis first-year students are invited to apply through the UHP On-Campus Admit (OCA) program. Selected first-year students will be emailed an electronic application during Winter quarter. The application consists of short open-ended essays and questionnaire responses and also requires a recommendation form from a UC Davis faculty member, graduate student, or staff member. Applicants will be notified by mid-April of their acceptance/decline status.
I have no insider information just trying to make an educated guess. It will happen within the next 2 weeks.
UC’s are very GPA focused so what are your UC GPA’s? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
UC’s look at all 3 GPA’s, test scores, HS course rigor, personal insight essays and EC’s during their application review. Also writing about overcoming personal/health issues in your essay will be considered.
You are obviously a capable student since you have a very competitive SAT.
All I can do is post admission stats information to help you gauge your chances. Unfortunately stats do not tell the whole story.

UCD: 9%
2019 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific:

2019 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:
UCD: 4.13 (4.00-4.26)
2019 Data:

Best of luck.
Thank you for your email and your interest in the University of California, Davis. As you may know, admission to UC Davis is very competitive – this year we received almost 76,800 freshmen applications, and we only have capacity to enroll approximately 6,400. For this reason, we had to waitlist many talented and high-achieving students like yourself.
There are several factors that are considered in the holistic review process, including academic achievements, demonstrated leadership, community service, talent, creativity, and athletic endeavors, all considered in the context of life experiences and opportunities available. Of these factors, the strength of the applicant’s high school academic record is the most important component.
We are still finalizing our admission selection process, and admission decisions will be released late next week via email and MyAdmissions.
Looks like admissions decisions will be releasing next week - kinda bummed that I didn’t get accepted but who knows if things change in a week. If you also got the same message as me, please feel free to post a comment. Good luck to everyone else!
