So I’m a high school senior applying as an undergraduate at UCR. I applied as an English major at CHASS. I was wondering if you guys know when the admissions office will notify waitlisted applicants of their acceptance/rejections. I was also wondering if any of you know how likely I’ll be accepted. I have a 3.0 GPA with a 1610 SAT. I’d say I wrote a really great essay and my English teachers would support that statement as well.
I would assume waitlisted applicants will hear after the May 1 SIR deadline. UCR has become increasingly more competitive over the years just like the rest of the UC’s, so it is hard to tell how many spots they will have open. Your GPA is at the minimum to qualify for admission but your SAT is solid. If your essay is as good as you state, then you should have a good chance for an acceptance. Good luck and hope to hear some good news soon.
