I don’t know! He’s at school. I’ll post as soon as I hear something. I’m not feeling overly optimistic at this point!

Rejected. Astrophysics. He’s planning to appeal, but I’m currently addressing his graduation announcements that state he’ll be attending UC Berkeley in the fall. :upside_down_face:

Son with 4.25 weighted and extensive athletics/ECs rejected from data science.

I know UCSC is doing its best to manage this crazy admissions process, but when seniors are already stressed out by the suspense of being on a waitlist, it’s incompetent (bordering on cruel) to send an email saying their status has been updated, when the update doesn’t come through until the next day.

Fingers crossed one of the other UC waitlists turns out more favorable. Best of luck to all.

you can appeal after being rejected from the waitlist?

Yes. You just can’t do it before you are officially rejected.

We didn’t receive an email, but we checked portal anyway. It’s a ā€œNoā€ for us too.
I’m seriously so grateful for this thread though, it made these last few months at least manageable, with such an anxious college application cycle.
