UCSD Class of 2021 Discussion/Decisions

Is it true that only Stem/ impacted majors will come out today? I applied as psychology so will my decision be later ?

@lonebean I dont think so

Is Psychology an impacted major? Based upon the posts in this forum, they posted impacted majors first last year.

@VPDad that’s the kind of question @Gumbymom sometimes knows the answer to. I don’t know myself. I’m curious whether Cognitive Science is an impacted major. Also, is there a difference between an “impacted” major and a “capped” major?

Edited to add: I did find this re “capped majors” https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/capped-majors.html

Mine is “under maintenance” too!

I got

HTTP Status 401 - MyApplication is currently unavailable to allow for system maintenance. Please check back later in the day.

@CAtransplant Take a look at this: https://students.ucsd.edu/academics/advising/majors-minors/capped-majors.html

@VPDad ha ha I just edited my post and posted that link as well - thanks.

Majors with capped status – for all students:
Biological Sciences
Economics
Mathematics
Public Health
Jacobs School of Engineering – all majors in these departments:
Bioengineering
Computer Science and Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
NanoEngineering
Structural Engineering

Last year UCSD did decisions differently by accepting capped majors first. Previous years, all majors and all decisions were released at the same time. I have no idea if they will follow the same pattern as last year or prior years???
Also no verification they are even releasing decisions today. Good luck to all.

Looks like the portal is down for everyone. Decisions are probably on their way. Good luck, folks!

Is molecular biology a capped major ?

@helloucla844: Molecular Biology is under Biological sciences so yes.

Wait so if I applied under communications (which is in no way capped) mine won’t come out today?!?!

@dancingsloth That is not true. You may hear today, All freshman/all majors have a fair shot at hearing today.

Is it true that decisions are being released around 3 pm pst today? Nevermind, I saw an answer to my question on the previous page.

system is down for maintenance…

how long does it normally take to load decisions I wonder?

The website says there is planned service maintenance between 1-2 pm today. We’ll know if decisions are to follow within a few hours.

The wait is killing me! Hopefully just another hour!

Does it usually take an hour?
