I don’t know if this is the case, but I know that for sports, they can get early admissions. I was offered the opportunity for early admission because their cross country / track coach was really interested in me, but I declined. If I took the opportunity, I would have found out “mid-february”, according to the coach. So, there could be other cases of early admissions?
No. Bay Area.
@JessicaF just the email and it said the portal would be updated mid-March. We are not OOS.
very skeptical it’s true.
Did anybody receive an email from their college tonight?
I got one from UCSC.
Dear … :
I am delighted to learn of your interest in the Baskin School of Engineering (BSOE) at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The faculty, staff, and I are extremely proud of our undergraduate students here in BSOE, and we are very pleased that you are interested in joining them!
At BSOE, we offer degree programs that prepare you for a career in some of the most rapidly growing technology sectors. And beyond the classroom, our students are involved in many aspects of campus life: study abroad, the honors program, professional student organizations, faculty research, and internships in high-tech companies in the Silicon Valley region and in the emerging technology industry right here in Santa Cruz. At the UCSC Baskin School of Engineering, undergraduate students study and participate in research in areas that define 21st century technology, and our research centers and institutes provide unique, hands-on learning opportunities for students at all levels.
If you would like to learn more about BSOE majors, visit our website.
Should you be admitted, we look forward to introducing you to our community of engineering scholars and researchers. Best wishes for your continued academic success.
Sincerely,
Alexander Wolf
Dean, Baskin School of Engineering

is this just a mass email sent to everyone though?
It seems more like a likely letter.
@Sharnoosh135 got the same email except about social sciences
keeping my fingers crossed 
Has this happened before?
@xafl134 it happened last year. Not enough data points to tell if it was significant. But FWIW, the few people who said they got the letter and later posted their decision did get in.
D got the letter tonight too, BTW.
If you guys are comfortable, share your stats so we can see… 4.8, 33 ACT, History Major
4.32 UC, 4.0 UW, 30 ACT, CS Major
Congrats to you all!
4.3 school GPA, 3.84 UW, 35 ACT, CS Major
