Does anyone know how long after admissions CCS decisions come out?

arent SATs not relevant / not reported / not considered for UC admissions?

UCs are test blind.
Curious about the reason she would SIR at UCLA, if she is waiting for UCB
Yes, UC’s are test blind but some posters will list them even if they are not considered.
It looks like some people found out with their admissions decision.

D23’s letter says the same, accepted into her major in CSS, but states that they will hear from CCS separately about whether or not they are accepted into the CSS program, and if not accepted into CCS, they can accept a non CSS major in L&S.

That’s what I thought – I was responding to the poster who said otherwise.

Oh I mean Berkeley is not out yet, so the decision is still coming. She wanted UCLA since 8th grade so decided not to wait and see what happens with Cal.

I thought they were supposed to come at the same time as admissions, if they submitted by the priority deadline. Either they are running behind, or they mean “same week” haha.
