<p>Any proof that it’s at 2pm?</p>

<p>No. 10char</p>

<p>Hey you guys! Cheer up, it’s daylight savings time tonight so it’s one hour less of misery…</p>

<p>Heres proof that it does not come out every sunday at 2pm</p>

<p>[Ms</a>. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog - UCSD Freshman Decisions Available NOW!](<a href=“Error”>Error)</p>

<p>March 13 was a Saturday in 2010. I clearly remember getting it Saturday morning.</p>

<p>EDIT: So i went on my facebook and went back a whole year of posts. I posted my status of getting it at 11:33am on March 13. So the rumor of Sundays at 2pm every year is false. Sorry. Good luck though</p>

<p>now out of curiosity after reading dacrzazn93’s post and his thingy about language… i have some questions:</p>

<p>for the special talent section of UCSD’s point system:
does getting two awards in Spanish [from my high school] count and does learning Sanskrit for the past year or so count?</p>

<p>not that it matters, but i just want to know :stuck_out_tongue: Im bored so im punching in numbers for the UCSD points lol</p>

<p>also for those of you who got accepted/rejected to UCLA… do you guys ever wonder how why you got accepted. i got into UCLA, but i keep thinking, *why did i get into UCLA, what’s so special about me, what was the thing on my application that turned things around? *</p>

<p>I talked to one of the people who are one of the admission officers… And he/she said that it’s not coming out within a week… and I asked her/him on Friday. So I don’t know what to make of that.</p>

<p>I remember recently reading somewhere on this forum that UCSD is running very behind schedule and it may be a while before the decisions come out. I don’t know if they are valid sources but seeing how they didn’t come out today relative to the time it came out last year, it may just be true.</p>

<p>I got rejected from UCLA (2050sat, 4.25gpa) and all I have left now is UCSD. I just wish that the less competitive universities would release their acceptances first before the rejections come from LA/Berkeley so that we would have some kind of reassurance that we are going to our next top choice. Instead, most of us are stuck waiting for weeks unsure where we are going.</p>

<p>green, what is your major ???</p>

<p>I applied to UCB (pending), UCLA (rejected), UCSD (pending), UCSB (accepted) and UCI (accepted)</p>

<p>I just find out how high the UCSB computer science department is ranked</p>

<p>[2010</a> Ranking of Computer Sciences Graduate Schools — PhDs.org Graduate School Guide](<a href=“http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/computer-science/rank/larger]2010”>http://graduate-school.phds.org/rankings/computer-science/rank/larger)</p>

<p>so I think I might still be going to UCSB even if UCSD accepts me</p>

<p>do you have any safety school ???</p>

<p>I applied for computer engineering, which I heard is a pretty impacted major. But I am accepted into UC Irvine as my safety so that’s good. However, UCSD was more of my safety school if I were rejected from LA.</p>

<p>Decisions for UCSD will come out on the 19th, according to a school counselor. </p>

<p>Davis will come out on the 24th, same as Berkeley.</p>

<p>@theleakers: You’re looking at rankings for UCSB’s PhD program. That says nothing about the quality of their undergraduate education in computer science. I’ve never heard of PhDs.org either… if anything I’d look at the U.S. News & World Report. </p>

<p>@green123098: Computer engineering is not an impacted major at UCSD.</p>

<p>@evolver: That’s reassuring about UCSD, but I meant for UCLA.</p>

<p>evolver, it is a lot easier to get into a school’s graduate program if you are in their undergraduate program …</p>

<p>@theleakers
If i was in your position, i would not base my decision on the rankings of that site. First off, rankings vary greatly depending on how the report ranks them. UCSD and UCSB were only 2 ranks apart which doesnt show which school is better. Ive seen some rankings where UCSD was ranked #1 of all colleges. So before you make a decision on those rankings, find out how that site actually ranks them.</p>

<p>@green123098
UCLA makes applying into engineering harder to get into than applying in as undeclared or one of their unimpacted list. (Forgot the names to them). Bad part about UCLA/UCB is that they also dont take your alternate major into account. If you’re rejected, you’re rejected.</p>

<p>For your comment about lower UCs giving their decisions eariler, that actually happened last year. The 2nd tier UCs came out before the top tier so i dont know why it’s reversed now.</p>

<p>may be the second tier becomes the first tier, hee hee hee</p>

<p>all I am saying is the computer science department is not too shabby …</p>

<p>just get rejected from CalTech also, ouch …</p>

<p>2 rejections: CalTech and UCLA
2 acceptance: UCSB and UCI
2 pending: UCB and UCSD</p>

<p>I hope UCSD comes out before the 19th, the wait is just too much …</p>

<p>@theleakers
Wait, you got accepted to UCSB already? I thought it was all supposed to come out in one day?</p>

<p>Anyone invited to the “top applicant” reception is accepted to the University. :D</p>

<p>green, I went to the reception today, they told us everyone who get invited to the high-achieving applicant reception is being accepted …</p>

<p>i’d kill for UCI or UCSB now ):</p>

You are referring to Washington Monthly and the source explicitly states it isn’t ranking academics but “contribution to the public good”.

<p>Most other rankings are based off academics, however.</p>
