<p>I thought I'd be outright rejected from UCSB but it says "decision pending." I was a pretty borderline applicant, does this mean they're still deciding?</p>
<p>I also have a decision pending status for now. From what I read, the reasons for having a decision pending stay unclear. It is not sure why for anyone. It may be due to administration issues, or it may also mean that they are still reviewing certain applicants but no one actually knows for sure. Don’t tell yourself it’s a good thing or a bad thing. Just wait and you’ll see! A classmate go his decision on time (March 19) and got rejected and I am top of my class, top extra-curricular, etc. and I still didn’t get my decision!</p>
