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

Waitlisted for Undeclared-Mathematical Sciences. TBH I might appeal. I have gotten all A’s this year (in 10 days im on track to a 3.7 UC Gpa (When I applied I had 3.5). I also have 2 jobs now (one of them is computer science related) and I am VERY interested in UCR.

@nr545ryan did you apply as a freshmen or transfer student?

My S was wait-listed today for undeclared-humanities today. :frowning:

@anceen22 freshmen

Hi i got waitlisted and was wondering how many people get off the waitlist each year? they said that if I get off i would be in my intended major @Gumbymom

The acceptance rate changes from year to year depending upon how many applicants enroll by May 1.

@homestretch99 Did your son who hadn’t heard from Riverside hear anything? My son hasn’t checked his portal in a few days but hasn’t announced getting an email. Glad this isn’t his first choice of schools.

My financial aid finally came through!

@teachmomof2, no he hasn’t. It’s not his first choice either, but It has been interesting having a test case of two almost identical applications. All schools except for one out of state and UCR have let them know with the same answer on the same day.

waitlisted… OOS

I got waitlisted yesterday too :frowning:

Hello! @Gumbymom Do you know in what order they accept waitlist offers? Is it higher the gpa, test score, or is it just random?

@homestretch99 What major did he apply for? my curiousity about this strange process continues!

@teachmomof2, they both applied ME. I’m with you, I’m curious about this as well. How does his brother with basically the same essays and slightly lower grades and test scores get accepted about six weeks ago, and he hears nothing? (34 ACT, 800 Math 2 subject test, 760 Physics subject test and 4.7 weighted gpa) This seems really random.

@homestretch99 I agree. Waiting on Computer Engineering here. He would really prefer to go to UCSC or UCSD or Cal Poly SLO (if he gets off the waitlist) do it is ok. He doesn’t want to stay home!

@teachmomof2, I understand. I’m going to send you a message.

My decision is still pending from UCR, are all the acceptances out? Am I just waiting to be rejected? If anyone knows can they let me know I’m very anxious.

@SleepyPandaBears My son’s portal says the same.

its 4/1 and my son has not heard back from UC Riverside yet

When I was checking last month, I was told admissions decisions will continue thru April, I’m not sure for the exact date. Email admissions, admit@ucr.edu, they are usually great on replying. Good Luck!
