Trying to help out future banana slugs figure to see what it takes to get in. This was valuable information for me, so I want others to have it as well.
This year system is completely unpredictable! Objectively, UC Irvine has a lower acceptance rate, so one would think UCSC is a guarantee if you get accepted there, but it can’t be said for sure. With the applicant increase , test optional policy, lower extracurriculars senior year, more in state applying etc, the competition is insanely INSANELY high. I wouldnt fret too much. Maybe they just thought you were too good for them and thought you UCB or UCLA bound
Very true points. I’m expecting UCSC’s acceptance rate to drop to around 35% this year since over 200 people last year were able to defer their enrollment and because they heavily overenrolled.
Congrats to all who got accepted. And whoever’s waitlisted, just hold on and you might be a banana slug soon. International student here, got accepted for astophysics during the first wave
That’s so awesome! That’s my daughter’s proposed major. We don’t know yet. She said there is something in her portal but she doesn’t want to check until her class is over. I can hardly breathe…
