Has anyone or know any freshman that have heard back about their appeals? I read some threads from previous years about UCSB appeals and I remember seeing this one girl who was notified that she was admitted right a week after she submitted her appeal. I hope it isn’t like the longer you wait to hear back, the more likely it is a rejection
@collegedreamer167 I saw 1 person in the official UCSB thread this year have their appeal approved a day after it was received. However, I think most students don’t get their appeal decisions until after May 1, but I’d say that if you haven’t received an appeal decision by maybe the 3rd week of May, it’s not a good sign.
They won’t even start reviewing appeals until may 1st. Idk if the person who said their appeal was immediately accepted is lying or has some special circumstances. Cuz it should be literally impossible to get it accepted before May 1 because the SIR deadline is May 1 and until then they won’t know how many open spots there are and therefore can’t accept anyone else, after may 1 they start looking at both the waitlist and appeals. For transfers it’s the same situation except starting June 1
I am a transfer applicant and my appeal was denied sometime between last night and this morning (appeal recieved 4/16)
I got an email asking for my spring grades in order to review my appeal so I’m guessing thats a good thing?
@BennyBograil were you originally rejected or waitlisted and are you a freshman or transfer student
rejected i was short 3 units = 1 class and transfer student
@BennyBograil oh okay thank you
@BennyBorgail - Yes I think that is a great sign! So will you be an incoming Junior? Also, can you share when you
got the email asking for your Spring grades? Very happy for you… hope this means you are in.
Any freshman hear back on appeals yet? I still haven’t
@Bennybograil that is a great sign!
Thanks for the support everyone! and I heard last night! and yes I will be an incoming junior 
sent my appeal a couple days ago. They updated my portal. Was wondering when they start checking them? Some say after June 1st but others have gotten decisions already !
Already heard back! Not good news, it was not approved. Oh well, I was kind of losing interest in going anyways. Good look to everyone else!
@dbxstian Are you a freshman or transfer? If you are a freshman the appeals were due by April 15
Oh I am sorry @dbxstian - I know whatever path you choose will be the right one. I agree with you … a lot of people are losing interest in UCSB because they are making it so difficult. Are you an incoming Freshman or Junior? Where will you be going? It will all be fine, that I know… for all of us.
@ucsbcandi they are a transfer
@Copywroted I was a transfer! So my appeal was on time
@ucsbcandi it was a bit irritating that they didn’t even look at it for more then a week! I took my time on it and sent documentation to support my case… Anyways I’m over it haha! I’m a transfer student, I’m waiting on Davis (appeal) and Irvine (late application)… If Irvine accepts me I’ll automatically SIR and probably won’t wait on Davis… Thanks for the kind words!
Any freshman hear back?
