<p>Who's nervous?</p>
<p>...I know I am.</p>
<p>Decisions are coming out March 15!!</p>
<p>Who's nervous?</p>
<p>...I know I am.</p>
<p>I really hope I get in…this school is my #1 choice.</p>
<p>Do you guys think the decisions may come out tonight? the myucsc page is down for “maintanance” all day today.</p>
<p>I don’t think so.I got an email from them a couple of days ago telling me decisions come out on the 15th and that I should check my account to see if it works or not.</p>
<p>UCSC mentions their site being down today in their “get your portal ready” e-mail"</p>
<p>“Please take a few moments now to log in and make sure that your user ID and password work. (Please note that the portal will be unavailable on Saturday, March 7, from 4:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., due to planned system maintenance.) Then you will be ready to view your decision beginning on March 15.”</p>
<p>Yeah I guess its because they want to prevent their site from crashing on the 15th.</p>
<p>hmm. when/how did you guys get your myUCSC log in info? i’ve been searching through my email & was unable to find it.</p>
<p>nvm. i figured it out. haha</p>
<p>My son received snail mail with his log-in info a while back (late December, early January?). They sent out a follow-up e-mail Jan 29th saying to contact their office (<a href=“mailto:myapplication@ucsc.edu”>myapplication@ucsc.edu</a>) if you hadn’t gotten the letter.</p>
<p>Oops… posted before I saw your nvm.</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s my number 1 choice too. I’m a little nervous, because I got rejected from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, and I was under the impression that it was much easier to get into.</p>
<p>…and all decisions are posted at midnight on March 15.</p>
<p>Well, depends ^^^. Which major were you hoping for at SLO?</p>
<p>If your doing anything related to engineering it’ll be highly competitive.</p>
<p>And Santa Cruz will start notifying people on the 15th,not all applicants will receive their decision on the 15th.</p>
<p>I applied into Psychology at SLO…</p>
<p>GPA : 4.1 weighted
SAT : 1910 (cr:700 math:610 writing:600)
3 years varsity tennis
4 years GSA
2 years high school orchestra
1 year UC Riverside college-level orchestra</p>
<p>This year, SLO was extremely competitive.</p>
<p>You have a good chance at Santa Cruz.</p>
<p>Well, I don’t know…on the SLO boards, it looks like everyone with high stats got rejected, and all the mediocre students were getting in. I just don’t understand how it can be “competitive” if the students with competitive stats all got rejected. I mean, honestly, SLO was at the bottom of my list, but it just kind of makes me mad that people with really really low GPAs and average SAT scores got in.</p>
<p>Ha, I hope so. If I get rejected to Santa Cruz, I don’t know what I’m going to do.</p>
<p>Did you apply also?</p>
<p>I’m actually a junior right now.=P</p>
<p>Oh hahah. Well, that’s good. I wish I would have started researching colleges when I was a junior. Where are you thinking that you want to go?</p>
<p>Cal Poly sLO… I’m guessing it’ll be even more competitive next year because of the budget cuts.</p>
<p>dude Skadforlife your more than safe for Santa Cruz…the average admit GPA is 3.7 and 1772 on the SAT…Santa Cruz still excepts ALOT of people below that average too.</p>
<p>I was looking at their fall 2008 freshman profile and they excepted people with a GPA range from 3.30-3.69 80% of the time…people with a GPA of 4.0 and above are excepted 97% of the time.Their overall admit rate is still pretty high for UC standards…72.8%…maybe subtract another point or two for bad economic times…but that still 70 something % if not in the high 60’s.</p>
