Trying to figure out how one learns of their CCS status. The CCS page says decisions are released after UCSB decisions are released. The UCSB acceptance is kind of scary because it says they’re unable to accommodate her in her first choice major (which was CCS) but she’s in her second choice. Not sure if that means CCS is a rejection, or if the decision simply comes later. Anyone know?
I think for CCS applicants they will be all be admitted first into their second choice while their CCS decision is still pending?
Just guessing
That’s what I thought too, but that line in the acceptance letter is scary LOL
Very nice. Congrats to you and your son. Looks like he has really high GPA and plenty of AP’s and Honors. Were there any extracurriculars that he entered in his application?
