Good luck to those who haven’t gotten their decision yet.</p>
<p>@usmc0311 Can you tell us your stats please? S applied Psych and has not heard. This is appearing to be like SLO’s admittance with all the admittance emails going out first while the others just wait.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in For those who haven’t received an email, don’t worry!! I didn’t get one either; I just checked directly on the portal when I saw my classmates post their admission statuses on Facebook. </p>
<p>D accepted for Physics!!
Also accepted UCSD and UC Davis. (Waiting on Cal 3/27 decision)
4.1 UC GPA, 2030 SAT
CA student with a lot of volunteering and elite level athletics
UCI asked for a supplemental, (no supplementals asked from other schools) so we were kinda nervous.</p>
<p>Today was the day for Davis and Irvine, tomorrow Santa Cruz is what a friend told us. We got Davis and we see some are getting Irvine, so I am thinking so. Santa Cruz releases by alphabet. But of those who got notice today there are no rejections that I see, so who knows. I couldn’t find anything on their website.</p>
<p>Admission statuses are supposed to be released in batches over several days. Confirmed dates were between the 17th and 24th, but it looks like they’re sending them out earlier. And yes, they initially send out acceptances to the more qualified students as it is more important. </p>
