UCSB class of 2023

@drogba you’d think they would be very excited to have a student apply with your hard work history. Baffling.

@Jackm1040 I am baffled too! This whole UC Game is enough to make your stomach sick.

financial aid says the link won’t be ready until “late march” - you can see it on the portal under the “steps to enrollment” tab

I have a feeling my rejection could’ve been due to my major being undeclared in the College of Letters and Science but even then I was at least hoping for a waitlist.

UGH! Ignore that in #504. I screwed up my stats. Let’s try again. Man I wish I could edit, but that’s what happens when you don’t check your post before hitting post.

@lphan79 did NYU release yet or was that for ED? My S applied there too. Haven’t heard back.

No NYU RD yet

hey guys! at the chancellors reception the dean of admissions said that financial aid will not be available for previewing until next Tuesday!

@DStepler same scenario here but ur son has really excellent stats. my D just has great stats-even though being on cc makes u feel like a 1310 is bad-it is top 10% nationwide. she was also top 8% at her school. its easy to start thinking u didnt make the cut until i see stats like yours. something just feels wrong. on the upside u made us feel better ??‍♀️. something better is on the way!!

congrats to everyone else accepted!!

@jackm1040 I’m surprised that I am likely getting rejected from Cal Poly SLO for Architecture even though I got into UCSB college of letters and science (and I applied to CP SLO with a higher SAT since they don’t require an essay).

Waitlisted. Pre-Bio 1490 SAT/ 4.45 GPA/ Lots of EC’s… at this point I’ve been WL from SC, Davis, and SB. Any success stories because I feel like this path only gets darker with the rest of the reach schools.

@putinator surprising to know that you have been waitlisted from UCSC but hang in there! I have been waitlisted from UC Davis and UCSB and I feel like crying cause I was aiming to get into Berkeley. Looks like that won’t be possible now. Really hoping that there are people who got waitlisted by SB and Davis that got into Berkeley or LA. If not we’ll then it sucks to know that our 4 years of hard work went down the drain. ?
