@LJmom… that’s just his GPA at his high school in Montana… not sure how to translate that to a UC GPA…
@montanatocali: If you want to know his true UC GPA, here is the calculator: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
You take the grades from the a-g UC courses from 10-11th grades only. Being OOS only AP and IB classes taken during this time will be used for the extra honors points. Plug in the # of A’s, B’s etc… Add up the # of semesters of the AP/IB courses from 10-11th and you get your UW UC GPA, Capped weighted UC GPA and Fully weighted UC GPA.
Has anyone received a package in the mail from ucsc? When I got accepted two weeks ago, the email said that a packet would be sent in the mail but I never got it
@Mo11ymac My son got accepted back in February but only got his package earlier this week. It will come. 
Congratulations!
Did anyone appeal their decision? I appealed on the basis of senior grades.
Is there a thread for waitlisted UCSC applicants class 2023?
My kid will be giving up his space tomorrow in engineering. Great school and thankful for the admission!
@MomofSaxPlayer may I ask why giving up spot?
Sure @Tapioca255 , he has been accepted into another UC that is a better fit for his intended studies (computer engineering) and personality and is weighing a couple of privates and SLO. He is still pretty undecided thanks to being waitlisted at some schools too. It is time though for him to release spaces and narrow down his list to allow hopefully others spaces.
@Serpickle congrats! It is not common, you should be very proud of yourself. I also got a Dean’s award… but still have not been accepted. Hopefully they are hinting something… I have a 3.5.
As a Santa Cruz native, please be aware that UCSC doesn’t have enough housing for students on campus. The rents are excessively high so consider this carefully. I think it is pretty much like this in all the California colleges.
Anyone knows anything about Film and Mixed Media in UCSC? S is highly considering this option…

I was accepted yesterday off appeal. When should my packet arrive? Does anyone know how long it normally takes?
Congratulations @deezyeleven my daughter got admitted and still didn’t receive her package. We attended the open house and they are saying they are sending them in patches… do mind sharing what you wrote in your appeal letter for future students who might be interested?
My son committed last night. He is a slug. 
Does anyone know how to withdraw a SIR?
@collegebound2023 Think you should call admissions to let them know and have them guide you. Did you get off the waitlist somewhere?
@collegebound2023. From what I understand you need to withdraw your initial SIR before you can do another one but I would definitely call Santa Cruz in the am if that’s where you are trying to decommit
