UC Santa Cruz 2023 Applicant Discussion Thread

Has anyone that has been accepted received requests for supporting docs or anything from financial aid?

Portal down. Anyone else have that problem?

they’re coming out today, it says on their freshman application and selection for 2019-2020 that decisions are released today

@TwoforT no mine isn’t down, try refreshing?

@kachuang i wish they would give us the time ?

@sagh527 I honestly think they’ll release it around 3pm PST because their office hours are from 10am-4pm, but I don’t know for sure

By NOT posting a specific date and time for decisions, schools create a situation where there is an unnecessary strain on people and IT infrastructure. Just give us the date and time, then we can get on with our day and not have to constantly ping your portal, monitor CC, etc.

@cckid2023 i totally agree. i don’t get what the issue is with giving a time


@kachuang hopefully they start releasing at 10 since that’s when they open? if not i would agree that 3-4pm is a safe bet.

@cckid2023 Amen! think about the kids for a change
 The stress, frustration, the Oreo Cookies.

@babyblews my son got his admission about a week ago for Film and Mixed Media way before UCR
 He received an invitation for the Chancellors banquet too
 we are super excited and very happy for the opportunity.

I hope we hear today
literal radio silence from the admissions team

I’m going to go ahead and guess you’re not aware admissions come out by the 20th


Admissions will let you know at what time decisions come out, at least I’m assuming as that’s how it’s been for the past few years. So don’t stress, either way you’ll know by the 20th and still have ample time to make a decision by may.

Also check out the UCSC admissions twitter page, they’re always updating.

sagh527, I apologize but why does the admissions page say that it is today then for undergraduate?

@slugwithtea i do know they’re rolling UNTIL the 20th. The admissions website literally says decisions come out today under their “important dates” section.

@momofthreebeauties that’s exactly what i’m saying. i don’t know why they haven’t sent out times or anything.

The 17th to the 20th is actually transfer students if you look at the working closely

The Dates and Deadlines page did say March 15 a couple of days ago, but now it is back to saying March 15-20. The Freshman Admission and Selection page says “mid-February through March 15.” So slugwithtea, I think the confusion is understandable.

The freshman admission page that I am looking at still says the 15th for freshman

https://admissions.ucsc.edu

if you click on this link and scroll to the bottom. for march 15th it says “freshman admission notifications for fall 2019”

it doesn’t say that it extends to the 20th. either way, an update would be appreciated from UCSC
