Official UCSC C/O 2020 Applicant Discussion

Accepted for psych! (3.7 UC GPA, 1820 SAT) when should we expect to get our letter in the mail? it says 3-4 weeks but that seems like a long time. also where can i find financial aid info? i dont see anything on the website

@micky1120 I imagine it’ll be a lot sooner. I’m sure they’re shipping them today. Otherwise we’ll have to wait for them to put them together.

Have people started hearing? I got into UCSC this morning with gpa 3.6 (not sure what uc gpa is) and sat 1790

never mind thought this was uci discussion

:expressionless:

Accepted! 3.92 UC GPA before first semester senior year, 4.0 UC GPA after (not sure which they look at). 2060 SAT and 31 ACT. :slight_smile:

Has anybody that’s been accepted heard about any scholarship opportunities? On the Davis and Berkeley thread I thought I read that several were offered Regents along with their acceptance. Also honors programs? Does anyone know how this works at UCSC? I’m a rookie!

My D got accepted this morning but we can not figure out for what major. Acceptance page does not say anything about it. She also applied for alternate major so it would be nice for them to specify. Is there a way to confirm?

Rejected!
I had above average stats for the school, so idk. But its fine, I hope everyone who attends has fun! Also for anyone who applied to UCI, come freak out with us in the UCI thread as we await decisions

@Diman74 look under “change my major”. It appears that this is the major SC has placed you under. I’d wait until the official letter for sure, though.

I’m pretty surprised that a lot of people from my school didn’t apply to UCSC. I guess I’m going to have to make new friends haha :slight_smile: Congrats to everyone who got in!

Accepted, yay! Frustrated that I can’t find financial aid stuff. Does anyone see anyone about Regents/Honors/Chancellor’s/whatever program UCSC has? I’m impatient and I don’t want to wait for my physical letter to find out :stuck_out_tongue:

@mech423 I was looking for that too. So far, I can’t find any info about Regents/Honors D:

@danceologist I feel like they’d make it clear if we were accepted to R/H. Oh well! Maybe in the admit packet?

@mech423 @danceologist this is the new honors program for UCSC. The program was adjusted last year from a First Year Honors Program to the Scholars Program http://honors.ucsc.edu/honors-programs/ucsc-scholars-program.html
