Still Pending At UCSD?? -- Did you receive this E-Mail??

<p>Anyone who is still pending at UCSD – Did you receive this e-mail?</p>

<hr>

<p>Subject: Funding for Undergraduate Research – UCSD McNair Program Call for Applications</p>

<p>The message starts off with “Dear Students,”</p>

<hr>

<p>I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!!</p>

<p>did you sign up for some financial aid?</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/current-students/academics/research/mcnair-program-overview.html[/url]”>http://www.ucsd.edu/current-students/academics/research/mcnair-program-overview.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Just FAFSA + Cal Grant, but I had a high EFC to begin with.</p>

<p>“If you are considering a career as a researcher or university professor, I encourage you to see whether or not the UCSD McNair Program is right for you. My name is Tom K. Brown, and I’m the coordinator of UCSD’s McNair Program, which provides opportunities for first-generation college students from low-income families and students from underrepresented ethnic groups to prepare for graduate research and professorial careers.”</p>

<p>This is the first paragraph of the e-mail I received, and the last sentence refers to 1st-gen college students. I am a 1st-gen.</p>

<p>I never got the email and I am a first generation student</p>

<p>Just to add more fuel to the speculation fire: I got the email today and I am already accepted.</p>

<p>well, im still pending and i havent got this email…</p>

<p>Still pending and no email</p>

<p>PENDING here… No email</p>

<p>I already got accepted and didn’t get this email. Wouldn’t put much weight into it.</p>

<p>^^^ @ conniek, hellostranger, randolph, essenar — are any of you guys 1st gen college students???</p>

<p>yup i am first gen and low income lol</p>

<p>Pending, no email, not first gen college student.</p>

<p>Suck to be me, I am the 3G model and not first gen. LOL<br>
I don’t think first gen has to do with anything or the delaying of your application for that matter. It’s just that they haven’t got to your application yet, or you got rejected :(</p>

<p>Like some of the people in this forum, I am still waiting for UCSD. :p</p>

<p>same here Grrrrr
or they could have just rejected me :(:(:frowning: whyyyyyyyyy</p>
