Some of y’all really thought it wouldn’t come out today lol

Anybody accepted as CS major?

Somehow got waitlisted here, but got into the much better school of UofM… I’m quite confused (4.55 W, 35 ACT)

D got waitlisted, Congratulations to all who are accepted!

Waitlist for my son - computer science

Instate - top % of class

Accepted at UCSC, U of Utah and Illinois Init of Tech. Waitlist at UCD and pending Urvine and Berkeley.

DS accepted for mathematics; first choice was comp sci. Kind of disappointing. I’m a little surprised, he’s a very strong student - NMF with lots of comp sci background from a top STEM HS.

I got waitlisted. 1400 sat, 4.17 weighted gpa. congrats to everyone who got in!

Waitlisted! Idk what that means for UCSB though lol

Weaknesses: didn’t have a lot of major awards, summer activities were kind of lacking
Why you think you were accepted/deferred/rejected: I was unique in my essays, I feel like they definitely showed my personality…

I didn’t get into my first choice (Computer Engineering) :frowning:
I was accepted for International Business and in Seventh College.
Overall Weighted GPA: 4.24
SAT: 1440

I probably won’t accept the offer because it’s so hard to transfer into the College of Engineering, but that goes for all of the UCs.

@amogh97 thanks. Look like it is very hard to get into CofEngr from undeclared major, S20 already admitted into Purdue and Northeastern CofEngr, still wait for more coming.
