@Stephr1324 total tuition for one year is 15,698 for the year so im afraid it might actually not be enough. Not 100% sure though as thats just the estimate UCR gave me in my financial aid award. Should def look into it. Congrats on getting accepted btw.
Alright guys so i tried making a thread so we could all start sharing a way of communicating with each other so we know a few ppl when the quarter starts in the fall. Unfortunately it got flagged when I posted it :(. So for those that plan on attending in the fall and want to start making a few friends or for random questions.

Accepted!!!
“While campuses vary in their use of the personal insight question responses, all use them to evaluate gaps in applicants’ educational history or in the evaluation of applicants
for certain scholarships”
(from page 40 of this document: http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/quick-reference-2017.pdf)
“certain scholarships” might include Regents.
@fpk1210 maybe making a facebook group then posting the link would work better?
@metafisicas Interesting. Great find, that PDF was incredibly helpful!
@metafisicas hey, thanks for going out of your way to find that! super helpful, hopefully this means that getting regents is a good indication that my PIQs are compelling to the admission readers

@rainingliquid27 @choukevin You’re welcome. I actually found the PDF a long time ago, and had been referencing it throughout my own course planning/UC application process. Could say I benefited since I also got Regents from UCR. Glad I could help!
Accepted on March 26!! But didn’t get the official admission packet in the mail yet. Can’t wait to see it since this is my first acceptance out of all the schools I applied to. Has anyone received theirs or know when we should start expecting them?
In-state applicant
Major: Sociology
UC Transferable GPA: 3.72
Major GPA: 4.27 (4.0 Weighted)
IGETC: Completed
ECs: Lots of ECs and currently employed at hospital full-time, and had leadership positions in the past
Personal Statement/Insight Questions: Strong. I had a really close friend pass away so I have a few W’s and took a gap year to cope, which I included in my essay. I also have a consistent rise in GPA from when I first started CC.
Already got accepted into UCR. Pending: UCSD, UCLA, UCI, and a couple CSUs.
@jaceymoo the packet should come in about three weeks after you get your decision. I was accepted on the 1st (according to the letter in the mailed packet, though due to UCR’s technical issues I didn’t actually get my decision until the 6th) and I got mine on the 19th.
@metafisicas Thanks!
I got accepted this morning!
Biochemistry
UC GPA: 3.27
Pre-major: completed
IGETC: I need two more classes
Good luck to everyone! 
Who is going to highlander day this weekend??
:-h
I want to meet everyone.
Any lower division transfers heard back yet??
@Piktuto Thanks for reminding me about it! I just signed up for it. I was planning on visiting the school this week anyway, but now its even better since its an open day!
@rkhayd 
I am glad you can make it! Is this your first time seeing the campus?
Yes! I’ll be at Highlander Day, can’t wait to meet everyone!
@Piktuto Yeah, it’s going to be my first time seeing the campus in person. Depending on how it goes, Riverside might turn into my #2 school since they gave me a decent amount of financial aid.
