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

Has anyone heard about someone who was accepted before with major but rejected later???

Because someone reported on this thread that they physically went to the UCR admissions office and they said that if u saw an acceptance with or without major u are in

Decided to submit my SIR today.
Anyone else likely to be going this fall ?

@WongIV me!! if irvine and sb don’t pull through

@MAJOR2082 really? But UCR said in tweet that “student should disregard any pervious decision or admission decision they may seen when they log in to myUCR admission portal” did that person say that before or after UCR fixed the portal?

@orchidlili Honestly, I’d disregard it. There’s no point trying to make a huge mess over it when they’ve already said to disregard it themselves. Just wait until all acceptances/rejections are out and if you feel they made a ‘wrong decision’ then appeal.

@orchidlili before they fixed they portal

@WongIV If I even get accepted I’ll go :’(. I wanna make new friends if I get accepted :slight_smile:

@MAJOR2082 nobody has been rejected yet…I also think a lot more students will be getting accepted.

Last years acceptance rate was 66.2% with 42,632 applicants and with 28,240 admits. 9% of the applicants had GPA lower than a 3.00 which was an automatic rejection, unless athlete or extreme circumstances.

So I called the admissions office today and asked them about some details. The woman told me that if you application is “under review” you do not meet the minimum GPA requirements and they are doing a second review of your application. If you application is “considered for admission” it means you meet the GPA requirements and they are making final decisions on your admission. Also she said that admissions are not based on major or last name and they are released randomly in batches by whichever decisions admissions counselors made first.

@smcollege123 Bless your soul for this information. And wait, “making final decisions on your admission”? Aren’t all decisions finished and just being released in batches?

@ImJustaPerson I’m assuming that decisions are made but there is some speculation that there are supposed to be more admissions this year than any year and also I have a few friends under the 3.0 mark who have been either admitted or wait listed so I’m not sure if that rule applies this year or if final decisions for those students are being made.

Yes,
daughter got into UCR and waitlisted at UCSC for bio

@smcollege123 Ah, okay. But according to their statistics, only 100 people under a 3.0 GPA got in? Also, how do we know that this year is suppose to have much more admissions than any other year, (speculated)?

anyone still under review yet??

@ImJustaPerson People at my school claimed it was on the news that they were supposed to admit more people in general to the UC system this year. Also could you link me to those stats of GPAs?

@smcollege123 http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/campuses/files/freshman-profiles/freshman_profile_riverside.pdf

Ah, yes I heard that. They are only adding (I think) 650 more Cali students to each campus. Lately, UC regents are being forced to cap OOS students to increase Cali student enrollment.

@ImJustaPerson Do you know if there is a wait list for UCR?

@smcollege123 Not sure if official from UCR, but you may want to take a look. UCR is on the list http://admissionado.com/college/class-of-2020-waitlist-admission-rates-and-notification-dates/

@smcollege123 I thought UCR didn’t do holistic admissions? On their website, it says they calculate a score but is it like the CSU eligibility index where they just use your GPA/SAT/ACT? My friend applied with below a 3.0, 2.9 weighted and her portal status says she’s being “considered for admission” but last week she said it showed her accepted with her first choice major… hmmm…
