UCSB SRA (Summer Research Academies) 2025

Hey y’all,

I decided to make this thread for UCSB SRA 2025 results because I didn’t see any and wanted to meet others who are applying too!

I submitted mine today so fingers crossed.

Hi! Will be applying this year, just curious what tracks did u select? and if u want ur gpa and ec; just wanted to see the gist of everything. first time applying:)

That’s SO EARLY! Did you get your unofficial transcript from school yet? We are still waiting for school’s unofficial transcript to post…

We’re also waiting as well! Our school is releasing it on Thursday.

Did anybody notice that in the application portal, the word limit for last short response (the one about hashtag) is only 50 words, while in SRA website all four short responses have 150 words? Last year this last short response got 150 words. Wonder whether this is a bug in the portal, or they changed the word limit for the last short response this year?

oh hi!

i chose tracks 7 and 10
my gpa is 4.0 and ec well i did a bunch of summer programs before and i also have robotics

lol yeah but the transcript took long T-T had to resubmit twice

Just curious - how did you get your transcript while school was on break? or did you get it before the break? Our school was closed for the holiday break, and even after school started, they need a few days to process transcripts.

I’ve been told you just need to wait for the official transcript, as they won’t review your application until the Fall 2024 grades are uploaded. The review process won’t start until the end of January, so there’s still plenty of time

I actually submitted at the beginning of school our times might be different.

Is this just the UCSB version of COSMOS or is it known to be different in some key way?

COSMOS is not research it’s more of a class with a tangible project implementing those techniques, SRA is a research program

Anyone heard anything?

not yet unfortunately

i submitted mine two weeks ago and still have not heard anything. I heard someone been told their application is under review. Is your under review or still nothing?

Did you check the status in your application account? It should be under review. The first step is verify transcript, which I think takes just a few days. Once transcript is verified, status should become “under review”.

How long have you been under review? Status is still waiting. Let me check with them.

Been about a week
