UC Davis Official Decisions 2013

<p>Figured I should make the thread for everyone to post in later. Look for decisions from around 10am-4pm. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Oh well… I’m transfer student from ucd and I know couple of ucd freshmen… If ur used to city life… This place is seriously worst place to come! If u just love to study, this is best place to study! And in additional, they will make you do lots of work</p>

<p>Someone’s bitter about their lack of social life…</p>

<p>Just giving everyone a heads up, I just called the admissions office and they said decisions will be coming out in batches after 5 pm and over the course of the next several days. They also said that you’ll receive an email saying your portal is updated. Good luck everyone.</p>

<p>Oh man, I’m really nervous! Good luck everyone! :D</p>
