<p>Wrote my Essay on how I changed from being lazy and shy to hardworking and friendly, which helps explain my low GPA. Counselor said it was one of the best she has ever read and I edited it several times with the help of an English Teacher.</p>

25 Hours as a private tutor for a middle school student

<p>I seriously can’t believe I got a rejected with a 31 ACT after seeing this: <a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/files/freshman-profiles-ca/freshman-profile-ca-ucr.pdf”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/files/freshman-profiles-ca/freshman-profile-ca-ucr.pdf</a>
I thought I had a really good chance because people with my GPA got in over 20% of the time and I was in the 96% acceptance range with my ACT.</p>
<p>Kind of depressing but good luck to everyone else. </p>
<p>@zacattack16 Sorry to hear about your rejection with those stats/EC’s, I suspect the GPA, which I heard is the biggest factor and then SAT/ACT. How did you find out? My email or mail or by checking the portal? </p>
<p>@liveonboca
I went to the portal, I never received an email. Well I got 7 more schools I applied too, hoping for the best now haha. Yeah it was my GPA for sure but I was hoping my ADD and multiple concussions would allow them to overlook my GPA just a little bit. </p>
<p>My son applied also applied ChemE at UCR and several other schools, so I am sure you guys will end up ACCEPTED in the same school forum on here and maybe schools too! Good luck! Keep a positive attitude.</p>
<p>I’m optimistic, if I was one of those 29 who got rejected in my ACT range maybe I’ll be one of those people who get accepted with less than a 1% chance elsewhere. </p>
<p>Accepted a long time ago … don’t even remember quite when. Undeclared.</p>
<p>Got my acceptance email near the end of January to CHASS! Still waiting on Santa Cruz</p>
<p>Are Biology and Mechanical Engr impacted majors at UCR?
Still waiting to here a decision.</p>
<p>Got accepted a while back, Immigrant studying internationally following CA standards with rigorous IB classes.
Weakness: SAT
Strengths: EC, Honors, GPAs, really good essay (I talked about how I received the last text message from my mom and dad prior to them passing away)
Comments: Got the Highlander award… seriously considering UCR, but waiting for UCI and UCLA.</p>
<p>Can anyone give me more information about the middle income scholarship awards? Do you have to sign SIR before applying?</p>
<p>@Dani2006, for the Middle Class Scholarship, you need to file the FAFSA and Cal Grant GPA Verification, from what I understand</p>
<p>@rickross92519 thank you.</p>
<p>decision: ACCEPTED 
WGPA: 3.36
SAT: 1820
Major: neuroscience-CNAS</p>
<p>Weakness: My gpa and scores
Strengths: I’m guessing my personal statements? </p>
<p>Waiting on UCSC, but i love UCR IM SO GLAD I GOT IN <3
cant wait to potentially be part of the highlander family!! </p>
<p>I also got accepted with a 3.4 UW GPA and a 4.27 W GPA and ACT of 29.
How did everyone find out about scholarships? Do they send you an email? </p>
<p>Accepted ^-^
WGPA: 2.91
SAT: 1570</p>
<p>so I guess I wrote a really good personal statement because my stats are horrendous…</p>
<p>@Stacych8: My S received his scholarship notification by email and also on the portal. A week later a letter by snail mail.</p>
<p>@gumbymom Oh I see! How long after her admittance did she get an email regarding the scholarship? </p>
<p>My son received his Fall 2014 Freshman acceptance email last night at 11:48PM into Chemical Engineering. I had checked the portal earlier in the evening, maybe around 7PM and there was no change.</p>
<p>Happy to report S accepted last night (late!)</p>
