<p>As I'm sure you know, UC decisions are due late April. This is unacceptable. Students need to know with high urgency their admission decisions so they can make the plans and arrangements that transferring requires. For example, apartments fill months in advance, and an enterprising transfer student might want to agree to a future lease. Under current timelines, this practice is impossible, as acceptance must precede lease agreements. Furthermore, students ponder endlessly, for hours each day, their status. This distraction is deleterious to their education: instead of pondering the intricacies of the American political system, the nucleus of an atom, social psychology, statistics, and the rest, they sit wondering if they made an undetectable (to them) error on their application. They visit the decision website for no reason. They go on College Confidential. </p>
<p>This practice must end, and to ensure this, I propose a quadrupling in the number of application readers. Also, I propose that current administrators be banished to the lands in the south. They can work the Mexican plantations as undocumented workers, while we here know whether we got in.</p>
<p>I like the way you worded your opening post. It reminds me of the Direct TV ad.</p>
<p>Back to the topic- I definitely agree with you. Since we applied early in November, I would’ve thought 3~4 months would be enough time for them to review the applications. Since they have tens of thousands of applications to go through, I kind of feel the logical reason behind why it’s happening… But other schools in other states have their application due date late (like some privates here) and still manage to send out letters maybe earlier. Meh, that’s just me. </p>
<p>Lol, good thing you didn’t apply to USC. We don’t hear from them until late May/June 2nd. And even after that USC might request Spring grades before a final decision. GG</p>
<p>I literally think about the decision everyday! I totally agree that the process should be faster since it’s causing me a lot of stress. I thought going to school, working out a lot, and keeping myself busy would help taking things off my mind but I still can’t help it! </p>
<p>Found this thread a while back. Anyone else feelin super impatient now that we’re getting closer and closer to admissions? I thought my patience was pretty good throughout the whole waiting process. However it seems I find myself refreshing college confidential more and more often lately. Definitely distracting me from school lol. That being said, congrats to all of us who have made it this far! Can’t wait to start hearing from you guys once decisions roll in.</p>
<p>Although I got accepted to my first choice of school, I’m getting a bit impatient about the rest of the schools I applied to. I want to redeem myself from the rejections I had a couple of years ago. But I’m thankful for what I have right now </p>
<p>@AnthroFlo CPP & CSULB started giving admissions in early February. SLO was 2 weeks ago. CSUN - no response. A few friends got into CSUF, CSULA, and CSUDH. The rest- I don’t know since I don’t lurk on that section of the forum or haven’t heard of friends getting in. They’re supposedly in a rolling basis? So the waves are happening. </p>
<p>I’ve been refreshing my email everyday waiting for something to pop up, even though I know no decisions would be sent now but my irrational brain can’t wait</p>
<p>I just want to get into one of my first choices schools and I will be relieved </p>
<p>Someone mentioned Cal Poly Pomona. Did anyone notice the Cal Poly SLO strategy? I believe it is a pre-emptive strike against most applicants, who also applied to the UCs. My daughter got accepted to Cal Poly; housing opened on March 7, and SIR is due May 1. For people waiting to hear from some UCs that is one tight crunch, with housing options really smashed by May 1. I think they are betting on ppl jumping the gun.</p>
