My daughter said her admissions letter said her major is Bio in CCS but she hasn’t heard from CCS directly yet, and I think they are supposed to. So we’re not sure.

I can’t seem to access her Financial Aid Status page, it is just blank when I load it. Anyone else look like this? Maybe it is normal.

Daughter accepted, in state. I’ve put her full stats on several other threads.
Major: Biology CCS (but she has not received the letter from CCS itself yet, so IDK)
Accepted: CSULA, CSULB, UCR w/ honors invite, UCSC w/CSP and campus merit, UCD, Cal Poly SLO, UCLA, UCSB
Rejected: UCI, UCSD
Still waiting on Cal. But she has SIR’d for UCLA and I’m very grateful to be done with the process. I’d have loved to see her do CCS at UCSB, but she decided she wasn’t ready to specialize that much yet, and wanted a more traditional undergrad. Good luck to everyone else still waiting and congratulations on all the acceptances to all the schools, not just to UCSB!

Congrats. But how is a 4.6 possible with just 7 AP classes? Honors classes don’t count for 5 unless articulated by UC and most aren’t

She has quite a few honors classes. I just didn’t count them all.

This was the last decision our daughter was waiting for. No idea where she’ll end up. She has some fantastic options, better than she ever dreamed she’d have. Best of luck to all the students and parents in this forum. I personally graduated from a community college, Cal State, and a UC (for grad school) and found all three experiences rewarding in their own way.

She’s never officially toured UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, or Cal Poly SLO (although she’s been on all 3 campuses for various reasons in the past) so we are going to go on a big road trip during her Spring break to see them (I booked tours already) as these 3 are her top choices right now (still waiting for Cal). So excited/grateful for her that she has this many outstanding options.

DD rejected for Chemical Engineering. We were surprised but all is good as she got into UCLA, UCI, UCSD, UC Davis, SLO (all for engineering), good options.
Funny enough, she spent two summers doing research at UCSB and wrote about it in her essays - guess the other UCs liked that but not UCSB!

-National Merit Finalist
-Founder/President 2 clubs
-School Board Student Advisory City Council member
-Went to State for her varsity sport
-Works as tutor

-Went to Carnegie Hall/instrument
