I’m so sorry that your daughter is devastated - my D had very similar results last year (5 waitlists) and chose Davis despite it not being one of her top choices - she loves it! It truly is a great school with lots of flexibility and a very collaborative student body. It’s also a very safe college town that fully supports the school.

UCR UCI UCM UCSC UCSD UCSB UCB UCD Claremont Rice CMU UVA UW - both got their choice of major and were accepted!
UCLA Vanderbilt Cornell Pomona Northwestern - waitlisted
plenty of rejects,
Moral of the story - cast a wider net. Hit a lot more safeties. Then ask your wife to do all the hard work - trust me this works!!
Kudos to all the Moms who have tirelessly worked their tails off to get their kids to and thru college. The stress of the wait and the pain of rejection is trulyheard in their voice. I tip my hat to you!
Thanks to all - this was an enjoyable session. Tomorrow we wait for a could more I believe …

They also got into UW with a scholarship. But we decided to keep them in California. Yes, we really loved their program and the university

In case everyone missed this—125K applicants. This is just crazy. It looks like everyone applied everywhere… Id be curious how the yield rate would stand out for 2023
I think yield are Cal is between 45 and 50%
@Avtrite How were your results? Please update. We are all rooting for you …!

I also was invited to apply for SEED Scholars Honors Program but am a little confused. The link says “The STEM Excellence through Equity & Diversity (SEED) Scholars Honors Program focuses on supporting and inspiring historically marginalized undergraduate populations majoring in all areas of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).” I’m not part of a historically marginalized group though, unless they mean by just being female in STEM?

This SEED program is very confusing. My son didn’t see a deadline date for the application, but we found on the website something about it being due by April 6. One week to write two essays???

no. It does not show. But they have the info.
Just read his portal astrology note - I looked like a reject/waitlist for A*. Let us wait for him to come back to us with his outcome. The prognosis does not look good!
wow! it doesn’t have a start date? does this mean they will already have moved into their dorms?

First time going through the college process, we certainly had our skepticism. However we are excited our son was accepted. Congrats to all, and for those who will attend other schools, you will find your path to success!
