<p>I asked my coach who had connections with UCSD (His wife used to work there). He told me that the acceptances will start coming out on Thursday March 17 at 5:00 pacific time. The rejections will come out on Saturday afternoon at 5:00. According to him, this plan was used to avoid the confusion that occurred two years ago with the acceptances sent after the applicants were rejected.</p>
<p>Just to verify, the incident that happened two years ago is not exactly like what you described. UCSD had notified the students that they had been rejected. The accident came when UCSD then sent out an email to EVERYONE inviting them to admit day. The rejected students were never admitted, just confused that they were being invited to admit day.</p>
<p>Just to let you guys know, last year what they did was release all the decisions online. It told you if you were accepted or rejected at the same time, on the same site. It also told you what college you were accepted to. Apparently they had called some people a couple days before telling them they were accepted, but I don’t think it was ever confirmed. So just keep checking the website because I’m sure they will do the same thing this year.</p>
<p>They’ve definitely started calling people- I have a friend who’s volunteering to make calls for ERC, and he got his call list on Monday. Not everyone gets the calls (I certainly didn’t last year, and neither did all but one of the people I went to high school with who ended up here), so don’t freak out if you haven’t gotten them yet. My friend also told me that admissions told him that decisions are going to come out this weekend, and I’d bet on it being Saturday morning, just based on last year. And again, to go on precedent, all decisions should be out in one wave. </p>
<p>I’d advise you guys to keep checking tritonlink, though, because IIRC, I didn’t get an email informing me decisions were up until waaaaay after.</p>
<p>I have a friend who got a phone call and the lady on the phone told her she’s invited to something in april… besides that, she also mentioned that the lady said “you’ll be receiving your official acceptance letter on the 17th along with others” so… lucky st.patricks day?</p>
<p>It was a printed list of ~30 people with phone numbers. And idk, but the person I knew who got called was a regents scholar. No idea if everyone who does is one, though.</p>
