<p>Yes it does change with the decision with a bunch of information popping up. The top says you have been admitted… so forth.
Congrats to everyone :)</p>
<p>I think the next wave has started. I just logged into my daughter’s portal and she was accepted. YAY! School of Biological Sciences. Applied November 30th. BTW, the home page looks TOTALLY different (there’s an explosion of writing), so when you log on, you’ll know right away. The very top line (right under your name and student ID number) is in large italics and will say “You have been admitted to UC Irvine!”</p>
