***UCR CLASS OF 2021 DISCUSSION THREAD***

They took a week to restore the portal for nothing the problems are still there

Itā€™ll work in time, its just cause everyone is trying to check at the same time. Mine worked cause I got in early, before the traffick.

@JuicyMango what was ur status?

After hitting refresh every second for the last 10 minutes, I was finally able to log in. But to my disappointment I got this message:
Your application is currently being considered for an admission decision.
I am in state, live in San Diego (less than an hour from UCR, if that matters), last name starting with M.
I definitely think the decisions are being released in batches.

But someone last name starts with an N and they already got their acceptance

Itā€™s possible that theyā€™re batching by major choice as well.

Does that mean that I am going to get rejeceted? My stats are pretty low: UC GPA: 3.32 , SAT: 1120, EC: 95 hours of community service, sports, and some leadership roles.

no a lot of qualified people are still pending

This is honestly ridiculous. They took a whole week to get the portal working, and we still have a good amount of people that donā€™t know whether or not they for sure got accepted.

I do get the feeling some schools do batches. My son with low stats was a match for SFSU and got in in mid-December before they even sent him the login to set up a portal; SJSU got in mid-Feb, even though others who got in to both got later decisions (and still got in), and some are still waiting (but not rejected yet). I think they pick the top students who are at or above the credentials required, maybe donā€™t even have to look at ECs or essays, and then go down the list with more discretion.

Should I be worried if it says my application is being considered for a decision??? If it truly is coming out in batches in terms of last name, mine starts with A. My major is Neuroscienceā€¦this is not helping.

I canā€™t open my portal anymore. But how are they releasing the decisions? Itā€™s not alphabetical, my major is Computer Science and someone here got accepted to that major. So itā€™s not by major.

I got the same thingā€¦though Iā€™m not sure if this means that Iā€™m in the considering group or they still do not finish their consideration of me. My last name starts with W and my major is Drama (or Theatre.) It doesnā€™t work at all.

Okay what about this, did anyone with only a blank major get accepted? This means you did NOT see your major while the glitch was happening.

Well I saw my major with the glitch and now it says under review w*f!?!??

Itā€™s March 14th they can not be still reviewing app

The first time I checked my portal (last Monday) I was accepted with a blank major. Then the portal was down until this morning when I checked. I was accepted into psychology and my last name starts with an L if that helps.

Mine just changed from under review to considering for admission decision

Okay this says a whole lot then. We need more people to come out and say if they got accepted and what their status looked like before.

No blank major this time, this was the message:

Congratulations! You have been admitted to the major of Psychology in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences for Fall 2017. You will be receiving your official admission notification packet in the mail soon.
