<p>Did you guys get a new area on the front page of your portal? @transfer14ptl talked about a “spotlight” area showing up before being admitted.</p>
<p>@mental2 yeah if you get a spotlight area to the right of your admission status with a poll asking what you think about the admissions packet it’s a pretty good sign. you should also get 4 new announcements. </p>
<p>@xxcapital same thing! I thought I was getting something :(</p>
<p>UCR’s website is really slow right now. </p>
<p>1) Too much traffic
or
2) SOMETHING IS COOKING! </p>
<p>The suspense is killing me…</p>
<p>everything that’s being said here from today is exactly the same for me. got the email to sign up for my.ucr, spotlight that says “what do you think of…”, and colored tabs… @xxcapital i think something IS cooking!</p>
<p>oh great… now my.ucr isn’t even loading up!</p>
<p>I don’t have a spotlight option for my portal :-(. I suppose the time will come. Maybe tomorrow! </p>
<p>I think everyone get those spotlight tab. </p>
<p>Mine is completely blank unless I missed something the first time I logged in as soon as I got the e-mail </p>
<p>Maybe they are getting ready to release more info…maybe they are working on putting FA on everyone’s portal…I got in, but I just want to see my aid! Good luck everyone. Can’t login! So frustrated!</p>
<p>@xxcapital I got the same email too with the heading “Important ADMISSION message from UC Riverside” … My heart was beating so fast as I logged into my portal. But I guess it was just a notification that the “admission notifications have begun” a stated in the email. </p>
<p>Oh nevermind, I did not got that spotlight thing. :(</p>
<p>I TAG’d to UCR hoping to transfer from community college. I too received that “important admission message” from UCR via email. My UCR portal didn’t have that spotlight tab the other day when I checked ( also, the portal was loading really slow as well). I just checked again today and saw that only the “My Profile” tab was left. There weren’t any tabs that would allow me to check the announcements or alerts either. Hmmm, I fear for the worst. I guess I just have to wait it out. </p>
<p>@eratheservant when I opened the portal last night there were only two labs left: “Account home” and “my profile”. Is anyone else’s portal looking like this? If so, what do you think it is? :o</p>
<p>@transferee</p>
<p>It’s weird, I got spotlight tab when the portal was doing some load up. But the next day, I only have the two tab like you said. I don’t know, I’m scared. </p>
<p>@bjt223 My portal seems to be fine. I’m sure it’s not an indication of anything, just a problem with the website.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be so worried. You should see the UCSD thread. People have been getting decisions and then the website changed them back to pending. Everyone seems to be having website problems. It’s driving everyone insane. </p>
