UC Santa Cruz 2023 Applicant Discussion Thread

@bigfandave OOS Accepted Environmental Science, 3.98 UW 4.33 UC GPA 31 ACT

In conjunction with a bunch of you
 My son was accepted back in Feb by email, and the actual package with brochures and acceptance letter came in the mail yesterday, + received the same letter about the Dean’s scholarship - thinking its a form letter that all students are being ‘considered’?

Anxious to hear about financial aid. Seems other schools send both at the same time.

Has anyone received an actual FA amount for UCSC?

Stats: 3.6 weighted OOS
Psychology
33 ACT w 11 writing
Also accepted: Cal poly, SDSU, USF, CUBoulder
Waiting to hear: UCSB, UCSD UCB, UCI

I haven’t heard about FA yet

Admissions are going to be released on Friday.

I thought it was Thursday?

@putinator If it is similar to last year, I believe decisions will be coming out this Friday starting at midnight by alphabetical order (last name) until around 3 am. Don’t quote me on it though.

@dubbe408 Friday of this week??

I thought decisions would’ve been released today
perhaps starting tomorrow at midnight and by 6AM decisions will be out?

On their website under “important deadlines” it says freshman notification decisions on March 15. I would assume they’re going to follow last year’s schedule and release them at midnight-early morning.

Last year didn’t they send something out telling people what time their decision would be posted, in order of last name? I know I read that, but I can’t find when that communication went out. If they’re planning to release decisions starting at midnight, wouldn’t they have told everyone their time slots yet?

I just received an email inviting me to the Chancellor’s Reception at the home of a local alumna
 did anyone else get this?

@collegemom111111

Click on this link: https://admissions.ucsc.edu on your phone or laptop and scroll to the bottom where it has “important dates”

It says March 15th, “Freshman admission notification for fall 2019”

If we don’t hear in the next hour or so about time slots I would assume they’re all coming out at midnight?

@sagh527 Yeah, I’m starting to wonder why they haven’t posted the time slots yet.

@sagh527 I found this in last year’s CC thread. Looks like around 9 in the morning they they announced the time slots for the following day. This makes me think they are not releasing decisions at midnight tonight (unless they’ve changed how they’re doing things).

FROM LAST YEAR:

03-14-2018 at 9:41 am
UC Santa Cruz posted and emailed applicants what time admissions will be up tomorrow based on your last name according to PST. Here is the list and I’m definitely planning to stay up until 1am for the decision lol

A - C beginning at 12:00 a.m.
D - G beginning at 1:00 a.m.
H - K beginning at 2:00 a.m.
L - N beginning at 3:00 a.m.
O - S beginning at 4:00 a.m.
T - Z beginning at 5:00 a.m.

UCSC seems to be posting their decisions differently than in past years, so anything can happen at this point. It will happen when it happens. Good luck to all that have not heard.

Not sure why Dean emailed earlier this week with a rush to check in to the Portal and sort of “get ready”, and no specific dates provided, for those interested.

I know! when i got the notification earlier this week i thought it was my admissions decison! ://

@anxiety247 my daughter received an invite but it is at a hotel.

@liaaa yes this week admissions email said this Admissions decisions will be released on March 15 for Freshmen applicants. Please log into your student portal to see your decision then.
