Probably just your computer. Mine kept pausing, but I finally finished the video after waiting FOREVER. I’m sure as long as it says that your daughter was accepted on the application page, you’re fine. Maybe call to make sure?

Anyone know how to find out if you got honors or regents at UCSC?
Son rejected, and pretty bummed. 3.4 UCGPA ACT 25 We thought compelling essays, and he had lots of sports, but no real EC’s other than that. Thankfully he has other options, but so far no UC’s.
@CAShirl ok but what major
@astrophilia these are all freshman admits. Transfers aren’t out yet. You’re correct, transfer admits GPA’s need not be as high. A’s are harder to get in college. 
@astrophilia Yes… there is a separate thread for Transfers. Read the title of this thread. For class of 2021. Which means incoming freshman.
@curiositycat333 Yup. I can read. My question was regarding the different GPA’s, since I never went through applying in highschool I’m unsure how it works.
In H.S 8 semsters of honors/AP credit count for a +1. Thus GPA can go to about 4.25 or so…
@CABoyMom are you sure you calculated the UC GPA correctly? Use only 10th and 11th grade AP classes and only 10th and 11th grade UC approved honors classes for your high school (ie. no weight for English until 11th grade, no weight for math until pre-calc H).
There are probably honors classes at your school that are UC approved for A-G requirements but do not give an additional bump in GPA. You can look up which classes at your high school receive honors distinction here: https://hs-articulation.ucop.edu/agcourselist#/list/search/institution?f=institutionTypeName%7CSchool%3B

if waitlisted gets acceptance later, will he/she still get the intended major such as some hot major like CS?
@restAllgreen: UCSC admits into the University and only a few selective applicants get direct admits into a competitive major like CS. You need to declare a major by end of Sophomore year and if you are interested in CS here is some information on how to declare that major:
Declaration of the Computer Science Majors
Admission to the computer science majors is selective. Admission to the major is based on the grades received in all foundation courses (see below) attempted at UCSC and will be considered no sooner than the student’s second quarter. A cumulative GPA of at least 2.80 in these courses is required for declaration of computer science majors (Computer Science B.S. and Computer Science B.A.). At most one unsuccessful attempt (grade C-, D+, D, D-, F, or NP) for a foundation course is permitted. In addition to this GPA requirement, after the first three quarters, students must have completed all of the foundation courses (listed below) in order to be eligible to declare a computer science major. Denials of admission to the major may be appealed by submitting a letter to the School of Engineering Undergraduate Office, addressed to the Computer Science Undergraduate Director, describing why the prior performance is not an accurate reflection of the student’s potential. Students who are informed that they are not eligible to declare the major may appeal this decision by submitting a letter to the department chair within 15 days from the date the notification was mailed. Within 15 days of receipt of the appeal, the department will notify the student, college, and Office of the Registrar of the decision.
Foundation Courses
The foundation courses for all computer science majors are as follows:
CMPS 12A/L (or Computer Engineering 13, or both CMPS 5J and CMPS 11) and 12B/M; Computer Engineering 16; and Mathematics 19A and 19B, or 20A and 20B, or 11A and 11B. CMPS 13H/L may be used instead of both CMPS 12A/L and 12B/M.
UCSC students that have completed three or more quarters at UCSC must complete the foundation courses before they can declare a computer science major.
