UC Santa Cruz Class of 2028 Official Thread

I was just about to ask this too😂

Or is it by 3/20?

I agree as well! My daughter has already been accepted and she was excited, but given the reviews and the housing… she will not be going there! The parking is a huge issue as well. So even if you live off campus there are very limited parking spaces for the students to park.

Daughter Accepted. Also our last name begins with a “K” so doesn’t seem to be matching the earlier message about decisions being released based on last name.
