For the admitted students who actually plan to attend UCSC, I found two interesting threads on Reddit. The first one is about the pros and cons of each college (http://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/2z4z7u/updated_guide_to_colleges_for_incoming_students/) and the second one is about opinions from current students on what they like about UCSC (http://www.reddit.com/r/UCSC/comments/2z4ojw/just_got_accepted_can_you_tell_me_why_you_like/).

EDIT: Substitute the ***** with reddit (dot) com.

@satshawty: http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/waitlist-student-faq.html

Few applicants were accepted last year from the waitlist, but it could be different this year. It will depend upon how many will SIR and if you they any room.

97

I just received the email of my admission, but still no mention of my major :-?

98

@gumbymom Thanks! Do you think visiting will help me get admitted (showing interest)?

99

Just got accepted !!! So happy! I was also invited to apply for the FYHP as well as the Regents sometime in Feb ( which was indicative of a very early acceptance ) . Does anyone know when we will be notified if we received Regents or other merit scholarships ??
