I wonder what I’m going to do with all my free time now that I don’t have to check the portal anymore.
@Avancer UCR and Cal State Long Beach are both respectable schools. I’d go to either of them.
Tough year for out of state students since they initiated a cap this year for all UCs.
Rejected!!!
Rejected in State SAT 1460 GPA 3.89 computer science :((
My daughter got rejected for computer science. GPA 4.0 unweighted, 4.5 UC uncapped weighted, did not figure out capped. New SAT 1560, SAT math 800, chem 800. Will graduate with 9 AP classes and a beyond-AP level college math class; 4 on AP Euro, 5’s on Calc BC, Computer Programming, APUSH and English. Finalist for international robotics award. Captain of a varsity sport and robotics team. Concertmaster of 2 orchestras. Volunteer and work experience. Waitlisted at MIT, accepted at UCSD and UCLA. We are a bit confused, of course glad she has other good options. She enjoyed visiting UCI and would have given it serious consideration since it is near home. Lesson for any students looking at this for next year is apply to safety schools, plural, since admissions are so unpredictable. I feel really bad for the kids who fell in the cracks between whatever criteria these schools are using. Would like publicly-funded schools to have a little more transparency.
yay rejected for biological science!!!

did they email you guys to check your portal is did y’all just check on your own
@collegebaes2k17 I checked my portal today at 3 pm pst
I checked on my own.
Checked my portal today at around 9:30 PM and got rejected~
I’m kinda glad that they sent me my rejection letter because waiting on edge was just torturous.
It’s true what they said previously about rolling admissions; they send out acceptances the first few days, wait lists after that, then rejections the last few days. In my opinion, it’s a super sadistic way to reject applicants and I absolutely despised having to go through it. If I knew I was going to be rejected I wouldn’t have held onto my hope for so long.
Even though I really wanted to go to UCI I’m excited to attend UCSB because they actually accepted me (even though I had some pretty average stats compared to others) in a timely manner. I’m super hyped and excited now!
FutureGaucho!
@apples4 your daughter’s scores are slightly better than my son’s but his are very close and he was also accepted to UCLA CS and UCSD CE. I believe they must either practice yield protection or the AO"s are just that savvy and realize they won’t choose to go there. If they do that I wish they would take special considerations for us locals because living at home definitely would of been a consideration on our end in order to save $$.
