I was thinking the sameā¦UCSB said in writing after 3:15, and they still released a couple hours earlier. I think the only thing we probably know for sure now is that it will likely be this week.

So, youāre telling me that UCD and UCLA and potentially UCSD (rumor and speculation) all release on Friday? That doesnāt sound right to me.

Thatās why I feel like UCD will be today or tomorrow

If it is, I dont think my heart can handle a triple rejection, especially after uci and ucsb rejections too. Hope ucsd and ucd come out today/ tomorrow.

Exactly. Why wipe everyone out in one day? Space them out, will ya UCās.

I donāt think the community college path is for everyone, and I really believe it would be discouraging for my son. Where I see it working is for an emotionally resilient student who is just certain they can do better on the next try. In my sonās case I am pretty sure it would feel like failing already and just be a downward spiral. Maybe Iām projecting here, but I see myself feeling that way (I went to a big state university and didnāt have to compete hard to get in but was in their honors program and felt a lot of external affirmation that way.)
So my advice in a case like that would be accepting the best offer you get and working in that framing, motivated by high-performing peers if you donāt feel self-motivated. In my sonās case, I also think he acts more mature when he doesnāt have his parents around judging, which is another problem with the local option.
This is not one-size-fits-all and I have heard of community colleges used as a springboard. It is certainly the most economical option.

I think you are spot on for some kids. Mine fit that bill. Also, I look at my s19ās friends that went the community college pathway. Whereas s19 is on track to graduate in three years, they are only hoping to transfer in three. That puts them 2-3 years behind. I think it has to do with overcrowding at the cc level. Itās hard for them to get classes required to transfer.
That would be ideal!
Might as well have UC Day and brand it. The office of the UC President needs a marketer.

I was thinking the UCās should have one portal with one screen that has all the UCās that youāve applied to. And then thereās a ārevealā one by one.

They used to only let you apply to one. If you did not get in, they sent the application to your next choice and so on.

@sushiritto Would require each UC to set aside ego and consolidate (make it simple for the students) and I donāt see it happening. I mean, if Iām the UCSB people, I wouldnāt want to give up my equity and so far, thats being transparent and having a really fun engagement with the students. Theyāve been on fire the last 24 hours on social media.

There used to be a deal in the early 80s that if you did not get in to Berkeley, you could go to Santa Cruz and if you did well, transfer to Berkeley in one year.
I applaud UCSB for their effort, but all they did was set a date and come up with a poem, which is not ābrain surgery.ā 
One portal with 1-9 with envelope icons (w/emblazoned mascot) that you click on and they open up with your decision. So much easier.

UCSB is making things fun on Instagram. I sent them a note and one of the AOs responded within an hour.
D18 got a Chancellorās Scholarship a few years back and UCSB had this really nice reception at the San Jose Fairmont. I thought that was 1st class.
