I don’t think you hear about scholarships for a few weeks. My son was admitted in February two years ago and he heard about a scholarship a few weeks later.

Only a small percentage of applicants will hear in February. The majority of decisions come out in March. Previous years, High stats and scholarship recipients would hear early but in recent years, it has become more random.

As noted by @M-Ham, scholarships may take awhile to show up in the student portal. To be honest, every year it changes for the UC’s so I thought I would ask.

I am surprised at the number of accepts. We will hear more later today - as the kids come home from school.

Congrats to ALL that got in. Surely an early shot in the arm!

Number of a-g classes listed as years always amuses me… every time… even though I know it’s the way they do it :smile:

Congratulations to all the new admits! :tada: :tada:

Thanks! All the AP classes over the summers hopefully will pay off.

What does 28 years a-g mean?

no update for my DS either. He is Environmental Science UC capped 4.27, weighted 4.5. Lots of APs, honors and ECs.

When your son/daughter creates the UC application form, if you’re in-state, there’s an automated pull-down selection for UC-approved course categories. If you’re OOS, you need to find the best fit (i.e., D-Chemistry = Chemistry, F-Visual Arts = AP Art History, etc.).

Did those that received decisions get an email about an update to your portal? Or did you just have to look in your portal for the update?
