@juju223 In past years, the first way of UP admissions has usually come out about mid-November. I remember a bunch of kids would hear before Thanksgiving.
Kids who have branch campuses as a 1st choice have heard even earlier, I think?
The ones who hear early are typically the ones at the top of the ranges - above the middle 50 for both GPA and SAT. Are you in that range?
Last year was a wonky year because of EA and the common app, so I don’t know how much they messed up the process. Because there were also EA kids who didn’t hear until end of January.
