@Gumbymom Is it possible to accept the FA before I submit my SIR?
@thedumbsmartguy232: To accept your FA from UCSC, you need to SIR first.
I never got an email about FA and there is nothing in my portal either. Please help! I really need this FA! Does anyone know if not all FA has been released yet?
@seekingseeking Yes, see #534.
But if I never received an email about an update, should I be hopeful that there is one to come?
No financial aid awarded. With OOS merit aid, it’s cheaper to go out of state, tuition wise. If you factor in plane rides (since we live an hour and a half away from UCSC), it’s a wash
Just received Regents Scholar award (5K) topped with a 10K Dean’s scholarship! Was not expecting so much from a public institution!
@chrys1 did you receive your scholarship notification via email? Snail mail? Through the portal? We are waiting to hear if we my daughter qualified for a merit scholarship. We’re watching for any scholarship news, both nothing yet. She was accepted and we are OOS.
@chrys1 did you receive notification of your scholarship via email? the portal? Snail mail? We are waiting to hear any news about merit scholarships for our daughter and haven’t seen anything yet…

@unizee I was only notified about Regents on email and logged into the portal and saw both Regents and Deans! @overbearingmom I am OOS and actually am in Europe right now, so I have not received any snail mail.
By the way guys, since I didn’t see anything already started, about 10 minutes ago I started a thread called UC Santa Cruz Waitlist 2018.
Has anyone OOS received their acceptance packet in the mail yet (snail mail)? I am hoping it may come with merit scholarship info, but perhaps that comes separately from the financial aid office?
A little late, but maybe it’ll help someone:

Anyone know about the housing situation with UCSC? DD hasn’t decided on whether to attend UCSC or UCR yet (assuming she didn’t get into UCI), but I worried about the housing since SFSU suggested all applicants to submit housing application regardless of admission decision. I’ve heard there are over 500 freshman last year end up with no housing. My DD is also interested in SFSU and people told us the housing situation is really bad and expensive there.
You never know, my daughter is actually considering another school. Good luck to all on the waitlist :))
BTW, I wish we had known about this sight last summer. We would have done things so much differently. This sight has invaluable sources of information thanks to very bright and generous parents & students.
@chrys1 Congrats on those scholarships! Where in the portal were you able to view your merit awards?
If your change request is not accepted will your acceptance be rescinded?
