@penguinluver Congratulations! All that worry, and everything’s working out okay! Are you still thinking of UCD, too?

My financial aid estimates finally got posted! Not as great as I hoped for but I shouldn’t be surprised, Santa Cruz is a pricey place to live (sister is a current UCSC junior). Congrats and good luck to everyone! :slight_smile:

@basAlbus Yes last night

Denied.
GPA: 3.685
Major: Biology
TAG: NO
IGETC: yep

@TrsCak6613 Yeah, I also agree that they might be releasing decisions by major in batches. Or BME is not a popular major there… Either or. I really hope its not until the last day!! Then it gives us no time to decide.

@jonuni94 I agree, we might be last do to the lack of popularity… I am transfering out of a big business liberal arts private college in Lake Tahoe. Sierra Nevada College…a little priced!!!

Wow. SC offered me 9k less in financial aid than SB did.

@lbwaterpoloman Do you mind sharing your EFC and the amount the schools offered you as a comparison?

@TrsCak6613 I doubt they’d tell us the last day though and only give us 24 hours to decide. These are big decisions… and I’m just hoping they give us adequate time!

Business Management Economics with a 3.4 GPA. Only worried because I was unable to register for a transfer required course for this spring quarter…Best to everyone.

Good luck @HawaiianSam!

@DavisCowsRule: Yes I am! I love Davis and its my dream to get into the school. Thank you for all your help! :slight_smile:

So my UCSC application doesn’t say anything. No new messages, but I’ve gotten 2 emails congratulating me on my admission to UCSC and that I can join their facebook group and watch some videos of UCSC students. Is this what you guys are going off of for admission decisions or something more official?

@HappyLifeMachine Click on Main Menu and look at your application status.

@Lucky2012 Thanks!

I got accepted!! Guess I’ll do my stats:

Major: Computer Science
Prereq: Completed
Tag: No
GPA: 4.0
Accepted: UCSC
Pending: UCSD, UCB, UCD, USC
Denied: Still waiting…

Finally…

Accepted!!! (just checked at 12:15am)

Major: Cognitive Science
Prereq: Missing 3
Tag: No
GPA: 3.81
Accepted: UCSC, Ohio State
Pending: USC, UCLA, UCI, UCB
Denied: None so far…

So excited to finally get my first (and hopefully not last) UC admission out of the way. I love Santa Cruz and just may end up going here, I thought for sure I was going to get rejected due to my lack of math class completion (doing statistics and calculus right now in spring semester). This is a HUGE relief and hopefully a sign of things to come

@jonuni94 EFC was around 10k (I’m older though, the excepted contribution is attributed to my own income). UCSB offered 23k (wish more loans and less grants), while UCSB is offering 32k (more grants and less loans). Didn’t expect that

Can someone tell me where to look for the major I’ve been accepted to? I see that I’ve been accepted when I check my app status in the portal. But no where does it mention or talk about my major (marine biology), even contracts & conditions doesn’t tell me.

For those that have been accepted does it tell you how many of your credits transfer? Also, any update on how many others have gotten their financial aid posted in their UCSC portal?
