<p>And about the batch admittance, I think that it has nothing to do with last name. Based on my observation, it has to do with the department. On the first batch (from March 17), I noticed that most people who got accepted were under Letter and Science department. Then on Monday March 24, I think it was the batch for Engineering department because both me and my friend/classmate got accepted on that day.</p>
<p>Based on my financial aid, I am eligible in Blue + Gold program. However, I don’t see any difference =-( . Under “Unofficial Grants and Scholarships,” I only have possible cal grant eligibility, federal pell grant, UCSB grant and no scholarship. Its either because this letter is indeed unofficial (more general) or I did not get any. </p>
<p>Anyways, CONGRATULATION to those who got accepted!!, I hope that those who got rejected will get in to their second preferred school, and BE PATIENT to those who are still waiting. </p>
<p>GO GAUCHOS!!!</p>
<p>Also received the packet yesterday. I personally find UCSD’s much more appealing than UCSB’s, but that’s just my input. </p>
<p>UCSB is my first choice excluding other non-academic factors. But I know that money is a big factor in education because it could affect your GPA, generally, your student life big time. However, I mean, honestly, if there isnt any big difference on the figure it should not affect the preference of school. </p>
<p>Rejected for Computer Science (Today at 5pm)</p>

Non-CCC applicant

<p>Was worth a shot, but I knew I wasn’t getting in. My classes were geared more for another university.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

Although I haven’t filed for SIR, I was also accepted for the first batch. The package didn’t include financial aid information.</p>
<p>@SockherMom</p>
<p>Don’t worry, there’s no urgent financial information in the package. It’s just some promotional stuff from the school, really, along with an acceptance letter.</p>

<p>I don’t think your chances are great for UCSB:/ but I’ve seen ppl get accepted with worse gpa’s so it’s not impossible! UCSC is a great school though so don’t trip! I’m sure you’ll end up happy </p>

<p>At the top of my daughters Unofficial Financial Award letter it states</p>
<p>Congratulations Blue and Gold you are eligible </p>
<p>Under what category of aid does this show up in the actual award? </p>
<p>Submitted my SIR for UCSB. UCLA’s regents can go to hell. Sorry, I just hate Los Angeles, as a city. It’s like a tumor. </p>
<p>I would go to Berkeley, but that’s a bit close to home. No, I think UCSB is the place for me.</p>
<p>Still pending. I have a feeling I’m going to be waiting till April 30th only because I already have apartment arrangements and my friends are waiting on me to sign. </p>
<p>@Bludge I really don’t think that is the reason</p>
