I really don’t buy any excuses for not posting release date, especially as they close in on historic dates.
Seems purely CYA to me.

Ahhhh, remember the good old days of rushing to the mailbox every day for weeks, hoping for a thick envelope!
Back in the day, never even considered 4.0/essays/ECs would not be accepted.
I remember the very thin envelope from UCLA we always knew if it was a rejection by the weight before we opened, lol. Portals are an improvement, for sure!
Last year, it came out around 5pm PST
I completely agree with you. If it’s the servers they worry about, split it in half and do it by major. There are a number of ways this could be done better. Primarily, by teasing the announcements with vague snap-a-gram posts and such (my made up term), they cater to the small percentage who get in, while ignoring the larger percentage who want to be able to make OOS decisions, as needed
Bubble up
UCLA is one of kid’s favorite choices, although not mine.
My kids far exceed the high school version of me and based on current process, I never would have been accepted to a UC, and therefore 25+ years later, never would have been invited to sit on a UC (college of science) dean’s advisory board. So far my kids are 0-for at applied UCs, and the next week or two will be very telling in terms of batting .000 vs regressing to an expected back of baseball card average (sorry for all the analogies, for those that aren’t baseball fans). I digress, but the irony of it all-
Not expensive enuff?
Same here!
Have a feeling our shot at this one will be next week, but maybe SD & Irvine today…
SD is updating the page, definitely out today
Yeah UCLA next week since no changes yet. No major disappearing or portal outages.
The last 3 Years, they released on the 3RD FRIDAY of March which would be Next Friday the 21st. We will see soon enough if they stick to that tradition.
the @ uclawhatsbruin account reposted a reel on their story with the caption saying that decisions are expected today—is this another fluke? i’m betting on next week and it’s kind of frusturating that the acc is either spreading misinformation or needless anxiety.
It seems odd if born this post AND the other post are not real. Do portal changes ALWAYS happen right before decisions come out?
someone on reddit said that their portal was down and mine was down briefly earlier today, idk if its a glitch or anything though
I think it might still be today
“Expected”
exactly; it’s weird that if the claim is false that they’re continuing to spread it. i assumed the first post was a mistake and that it would be taken down. if UCLA is letting the account say this stuff, then i can’t help but get my hopes up. the portal isn’t down yet for me though, and it’s not the 3rd friday of march, so i’m still thinking next fri. i just wish i could have the official decision dates!
