***UC Riverside Class of 2023 - Applicant and Decision Thread***

havent heard back yet? does that mean I got rejected???

I’m going to Highlander Day !

Same here.

Any idea when we might get financial aid info/package?

@Pointermix thats what i want to know

@Pointermix @emmam01 make sure you selected UCR on your FAFSA. We forgot too and I had to add them yesterday. You can also call FA at UCR and ask what the hold up is.

@eddieboysr - Can you pls tell me what FAFSA and FA stand for? Or can anyone tell me pls?

FAFSA stands for free application for federal student aid and FA is just financial aid or FA could also stand for freshman admissions too

Thank you so much, @camiraynaud. We’ve still heard nothing for our daughter. She’s borderline for UCR - SAT 1150, GPA 3.5 (UW). Excellent essays, excellent EC resume. We’re wondering if she’s going to be wait listed at this point.

@whitby2773 Im pretty sure she’ll get in. I got in for Microbiology and my UW GPA and test scores are a bit lower.

@emmam01 - thank you for the encouragement. :slight_smile: She got into Cal State Fullerton, UC Merced and Cal State Pomona. If she doesn’t get into UCR, she’ll still be happy with one of those, so all is not lost, even if UCR proves to be a no-go.

@whitby2773 My son has not heard either (for computer engineering). He has a 35 on the ACT and a 4.4 or so GPA…strange but we are locals and he would prefer one of his other choices.

@teachmomof2 I haven’t heard back either…

@whitby2773 Is UCR her first choice? Either way, she has some excellent choices. I personally got waitlisted by CPP. I fell that she’ll be fine w/ UCR

*feel

does anyone know if they are still sending out acceptances? or if theres a date for it yet? super anxious for this

Thank you for the encouragement, @teachmomof2 and @emmam01 - we still have our fingers crossed and are holding our breath here! If we have to wait till the end of April for a decision on being waitlisted, I think our heads will explode!

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, @Mesudo and your son, teachmomof2!

@asorid - I’ve been hearing March 30th floated around as the last day of first round acceptances by UCR. After that - waitlisting.

@whitby2773 @asorid When I called them earlier today they said all decisions should be finished by the end of the first week of April. But I’m not sure if that includes acceptances too or not. But he did emphasize that all decisions will be done by then.

Waitlisted today for Mech Eng. Portal updated sometime this afternoon.
