Official Countdown and Acceptances Thread (UCSB 2012)

<p>I think its cool that another UC is coming out in a few hours time. At least by California time, we have another 1 - 2 hours before it is officially "tomorrow." Looking at last year's acceptance thread, I saw people started getting the decisions by 2 a.m. So let's cross our fingers and keep vigil for the next 24 hours.</p>

<p>If you get in:
State your stats
Whether or not your going?
Top Choice?
How do you feel?(lol)</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...cons/icon7.gif%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...cons/icon7.gif&lt;/a>

<p>Anyone partially anxious? Atleast SD came out today, which was a relief and the thread for that one went BIG!</p>

<p>Acutally, UCSB isn't coming out till monday at 3PM, so im not as anxious right now. I have a tennis match that day so I won't be there at 3 to check. I'll probably be back at 7 or 8 to check if I got in or not.</p>

<p>3pm eastern time or western time?</p>

<p>Pacific time</p>

<p>^OOPS. lol. I jus copied and pasted from anthr thread. my bad! Hey we can have a weekend long countdown! :)</p>

<p>1day left for SB! yey!</p>

<p>yea a very long anxious day ... i'll have to force my phone to check monday at 3</p>

<p>It looks like decisions are out earlier than they said they would be... I'm just hoping it wasn't a fluke or something!!!</p>
