My daughter has the same: “View Your Admission Offer Letter” then when clicked it says “Not found” 
Does anyone NOT see the “view you admission offer letter” banner? (I am just wondering if it appears on everyone’s portal regardless of admission status!)
A reddit user reports not seeing it.

D26 admitted for BMEB, in state. She is happy 
Edited to add: UC GPAs: 3.97 UW, 4.24 CW, 4.48 FW. ELC: yes. 25 semesters of UC Honors, 9 AP courses, typical “average excellent” ECs. Applied to BME at most schools, but UCSC doesn’t have a typical BME major. She does think BMEB is interesting and will seriously consider it.

Did anyone hear about merit $ in their acceptance letter?
When would students expect to hear about these for UCSC (if awarded)?
@CAMomx3 Last year 2025, merit scholarship notifications were a week after the early admissions date and the year before in 2024, the notifications posted in March with the rest of the decisions.

Son accepted for psychology!
UW: 3.7, Weighted: 4.4, UC Capped: 4.0. Extracurriculars mostly focused on music composition, with some assorted service activities. I don’t know how many APs but it was basically all of the APs available to him (not a huge number). Location: central valley.
For a kid who was highly resistant to organized activities of any kind, we’re happy with the results so far: accepted Loyola Marymount, SJSU, CSULB, Cal Poly Pomona.

I saw some UCSC waitlist notifications today on Reddit - I thought early notifications were only acceptances?

Apparently they have also posted some waitlist decisions. Previous year’s early decisions have been mainly acceptances. I guess they like to change their decision timeline.
