UC Riverside Class of 2027 Official Thread

So the high stat got the admitted notifcation first?

Yes, usually the high achieving applicants hear in the first admit wave.

Do the portals show the UC gpa? We never could figure out their gpa system. I thought since they did maybe they could post it in the acceptance page.

My kid is only 4.15 WGPA so not high stats at all but heard today.

High achieving does not necessarily mean high stats.

Here is the UCR admit GPA from 2022 which puts your daughters GPA above average. Also UCR admits by major so her stats can put her on the higher end of the Biology applicants.

Early acceptances aren’t random right? The people of A2C are saying it’s random but then again it’s A2c…
