Finding out if I’m accepted or not tomorrow. 3.6 weighted gpa, 3.4 unweighted. 1790 gpa. )Showed great improvement from sophomore to junior year.) 5 APs. Good EC’s, track for all four years of HS, and I have a job. I think my essays were pretty good too but who knows. I applied under the Black Studies Major not because I was trying to pick an unpopular major, but because I am actually interested in the topic. I know my stats aren’t that great but I am still hopeful. (I am a black female.) Anyone with similar information to mine? Comment back, I’m nervous!!!

could they release decisions before 3pm? they’ve done it sort of early in the past…
@emilyjack45 can’t say for sure, gotta keep checking your portal time to time for that!
@emilyjack45 not until 3pm. At the chancellor reception yesterday they said it would not be on the portal before 3pm…no need to drive yourself crazy by checking it all day long! Good luck:)
As @stephrass stated, they said there would be no descisions posted until 3pm
Everyone’s portal is down, right?
@chocolateswag yes, sir, the portal’s down!
O the suspense…good luck to everyone, I hope you all get accepted!! ^^
Best of luck guys! 6 more hours! Hope we all get in.
