Has anyone applied to MET program?
I did
Do the acceptance come out earlier than the end of March, when most of the UC’s come out?
Pretty sure at the same time as normal decisions at the end of March. Before the 2023 cycle MET apparently used to be released early in feb but last year they released MET decisions alongside regular decision release so it’ll probably be the same this year.

Most MET decisions came out with all the regular decisions last year on March 30th.

Just realized I wasn’t supposed to put senior first quarter grades on the UC app, how screwed am I?

I am not sure that would matter. UCs will only consider 10-11 grades for the GPA calculation.

Not screwed at all. They will just ignore them.

thanks to both of you, not getting in with a sub-4 UC GPA applying to engineering, but at least I’m not getting charged with perjury or whatever the UCs threaten
UC deadline was November 30. Most students didn’t get any fixed grade by November 30 because of semester system. I guess your school is quarter system. If so, nothing is wrong.
@Gumbymom does UC B still release decisions in early Feb? are they related to a major or school or scholarships? Thanks!
As of last year, yes UCB admitted High Stat applicants along with prospective Regent scholarship recipients in early February. For 2023, it was February 9. Not major or College specific.
Previous years, MET and GMP applicants also heard in February but last year those decisions came out in March.
