<p>More congrats to R2D2 and Mandiee. Did your letters also arrive on March 7? We're still hoping to get one from UCSC.</p>
<p>I wonder if they are admitting by department. Any guesses why some last week, some this week and some not yet?</p>
<p>Marzz,</p>
<p>Here's what the HS counselor got from UCSC admissions last week:</p>
<p>"More than 23,000 freshman apps; admitting approx. 17,000
Have already admitted 11,000+, continuing to look at other students and hope to have decisions out in next week to ten days"</p>
<p>So I think it's not by department. The bad news is 11000 out of 17000 admitted already. The good news is there's 6000 more (as of last week)</p>
<p>Congratulations, I was admitted as well, just found out today. Maybe I'll see you next year, I'm not sure if I'm going there or not.</p>
<p>and you got to figure out of those 6,000 the gpa's arent very comeptitive... i'm sure they're looking deeper... essays,ec's, ect... i got my acceptance on the second, i bet they didnt even read my essay</p>
<p>CC,
I think you are partially right that the less competitive people are getting offers this week. However, I know people with worse stats than mine who got it, so it's not entirely that.</p>
<p>Of all you folks who just got a UCSC offer (freshmen only - not transfer students), what were your stats? I'm still trying to evaluate my chances.</p>
<p>donderlover, thanks for the update. I wonder how many of those 6,000 were admitted a couple of days ago.</p>
<p>UCSC is a Tier 1 school, not low caliber. Anyway, congrats on getting in, now go out and have some fun!</p>
<p>they updated the website and they will be sending me a letter in the mail with in 2 weeks.</p>
<p>Now that many of you are "in," it's time to check out housing. UC Notes, an electronic document that is e-mailed to hs counselors and others, just came out today. One of the articles talks about housing on UC campuses:</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz includes University-sponsored housing both inside and outside its 10 residential colleges. In addition to single-sex and coed floors, UCSC offers theme areas dedicated to multiculturalism and diversity, specific backgrounds and cultures (African American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Chicano/Latino, Jewish, mixed heritage) and gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender students. The International Living Center attracts international and U.S. students. Other floors offer a focus on academic excellence, outdoor experience, film and digital media, or visual or performing arts. Several floors are designated as smoke-free communities.</p>
<p>University-sponsored housing outside the colleges includes the Village, an on-campus community for continuing education and transfer students; the University Inn, an off-campus facility with its own swimming pool and fitness room; and University Town Center in downtown Santa Cruz, which also houses students from UC Santa Cruz Extensions English Language Institute.</p>
<p>There is campus housing for 6,000+ students and freshmen are guaranteed housing for two years. </p>

<p>Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :)</p>
<p>hey i'm happy for you =)
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>thanx again to everyone who responded to my joy in this thread!!!</p>
<p>if anyone is still wondering...here are my stats:</p>
<p>3.5 GPA
SAT1 Math= 540
SAT1 Verbal= 490</p>
<p>SAT2 Math IC= 600
SAT2 Writing= 580
SAT2 US History= 520</p>
<p>Essay= been told it was extremely superior</p>
<p>arabic and muslim</p>
<p>residence= san francisco, ca</p>
<p>so obviously, anything is possible because i don't have phenominal stats....and for those of you wondering, i found out yesterday 3/8 at around 10:30 pm (pacific time). the letter wasn't here today, but it's more than likely it'll be here tomorrow or by saturday at the latest.</p>
<p>once again, thank you all for your support and i wish every single person on this board luck when it comes to getting into YOUR dream school</p>
<p>My stats are 1500 SAT I, 750 IIC, 740 Writing, 710 chem, and I think a 4.0 UC GPA, although I haven't quite figured out how to calculate it, tons of ECs many with leadership, applied as a chem major. I applied from out of state which might have something to do with hearing later.</p>
<p>congrats. i'm a student at ucsc so if you have any questions feel free to ask me.</p>
<p>also, i didn't get my acceptance last year until the very end of march. i dunno why, but they definitely do it in waves.</p>
<p>I also got my decision at 10:30 PM last night on the myucsc web page. My stats are:</p>
<p>UC GPA: 3.35
SAT I: 1330 (670 V, 660 M)
SAT II: 600/570/510 (I took them again and scored a lot higher, but the UCs considered these scores for admissions)
CA Resident; Low-Income; First Generation; Improvement in 11th grade</p>
<p>lol, i should change my name to Awaits_UCI</p>
<p>Congrats on getting in!</p>
<p>Coolman u should change it to UCI_Hopeful (notice one L instead of 2 like my name)</p>
<p>congrats on your acceptance</p>
