As far as I can see, your son applied to no safeties, although you cannot change that now, I don’t see how anyone had not told you that not applying to any safeties was a bad idea. All the best for your son nonetheless!

“Just

@2bigkids 11:59 p.m is @ night. All the twitter message is saying that decisions will definitely be released tomorrow. It does not say anything about when. Historically decisions have been released @ 3:00 pm PST.
That means anytime before midnight.
It could be as late as 2:59 AM on March 27th for East Coast applicants :neutral:
@tenseMom Sorry to hear about your son’s bad luck. The college admissions process is so dicey. I hope he hears some good news soon.
If the next few days don’t go as planned, I would highly recommend applying to some schools whose deadlines haven’t passed yet. Schools like LSU, Clemson, UCF, and many others are still accepting applications.
I know his stats are much more competitive than the norm for these schools, but any college is better than no college.
Best of luck!

@orugallu: Although UCB does not admit by major into the College of Letters and Sciences, intended major would be still be a consideration in terms of HS rigor/courses taken, EC’s related to the intended major and also the personal insight essays. Unfortunately I am not an admissions officer, but the students will be evaluated as a pool but I am sure that to make sure there are enough resources/classes for all students, they will still categorize students by intended major. I am also sure that they know students change their minds about majors all the time, so they do take that into account by having the pre-req courses and GPA requirements for the impacted majors.
Regarding scheduling, again when they accept applicants by possible intended major, they will make sure classes are available to all students.
@ProfessorPlum168 could probably answer the class availability and scheduling better since he has a son that went the CS in L&S route. I would send him a PM.
@InTypical: There is a stats only thread where all applicants should post their decisions.
Best of luck to all applicants.
