Are people getting accepted/waitlisted/denied at night or is it only 10 a.m. ish - 5 p.m. ish?
for the people pending still, do you have high stats?
no,i have fairly low stats
I have high GPA but average sat, lots of ec and essay is good
But honestly I’m losing hope, this week is challenging
@Rainforest1213 i got an email on Saturday (3/23) saying my portal was updated. Was accepted that morning
@Rainforest1213 the one person I saw on here who got rejected confused it with her son not getting into his first major.
I’m just telling you how it is looking right now and how it has been in the past
@lifeofdesiray18 i had a 31 act and a 4.6 weighted gpa. lots of extracurriculars and volunteer work - including a year at the red cross
@Wishforcalpoly From what I understand the UCs strive for geographical diversity. That’s why you can see people excepted with a 3.5 weighted gpa and 1050 on the SAT accepted and >4.x weighted gpa and >1400 sat rejected. As a result their acceptance philosophy is to admit the top x% from each high school. And those test scores and GPAs may be a country mile apart from one another. Hence the more competitive high school you attend the more disadvantaged you are for admission but likely far more prepared. I keep telling myself that the goal is to raise happy healthy and successful kids, but i won’t pretend that it doesn’t hurt as both my wife and I are UCs grads and it’s what my DS wanted. In any case my DS got admitted to CalPoly and several other top 10 engineering schools so we are grateful for that!
Waitlisted for Biomedical Engineering, UC GPA 4.14, SAT 1370
still pending…
lower GPA I guess 4.0 UC, 32 which I believe is in the middle 50 but on the higher end, but coming from a private school. I think my school is playing a big factor in getting into UC’s. Oh and I’m chinese, so really love that.
I have gotten into every private school I’ve received decisions from WITH scholarships, but no UC’s, and I know a girl in my class who got into Stanford get rejected by UCSB sooooo
sucks that the things we cannot control are likely the make-or-break factors in admission.
So all acceptances are out right?
We don’t know for sure
Waitlisted !! 4.08 GPA, 34 ACT, Poli Sci major. It’s kind of weird because I know SO many people who were just waitlisted at UCI after already being accepted to a bunch of other UCs. I was accepted to UCSD and UCSB so I definitely wasn’t expecting a waitlist, but it’s okay. UCI wasn’t really my top choice anyways so I won’t be accepting my waitlist offer.
Did anyone get anything back for gender studies. I feel like noone has talked about it.
When did you hear back?
Son waitlisted for aerospace engineering.
4.07 UC capped, 4.25 fully weighted UC, 1420
@soapdispenser when did you hear back, right now or you just checked rn?
Damn, waitlisted for business admin. 33 ACT, 4.17 UC GPA
