Has anyone received an email from UCSB about creating your student portal? I submitted my application a month ago and have not received anything despite getting confirmation from all the other UC’s I applied to. I know sometimes these things take a while but I just want to confirm/check in with somebody else.
@blackcat2: UCSB’s website states that you should be getting an email to setup your portal on January 6th.
My DD just got the email to set up her portal.
Gumby Mom, do you think it’s harder to get into UCSB Honors than “regular” UCB? I’m very familiar with both campuses and culture, but I’m interested in your opinion on which school (UCSB-Honors vs. USB) would be a better overall education/ experience for a Bio major. Also, where would you put UCLA in that mix?
@losername: UCSB does not specifically state their Honors program requirements other than top students are considered for the program. I cannot say if getting into UCSB’s Honors program is easier or harder than UCB regular decision since each school will review your application based on their own criteria and determine the best fit.
Since you have already applied, all you can do is wait until decisions are rendered.
All three schools, UCSB/UCLA and UCB will give you an excellent education. Final choice would depend upon what are your career plans as a Biology major, where you are admitted and where you feel you would have the best college experience.
Best of luck.
QQ - where can I find the perm #? Is this something that was noted in an email, or do you only receive once you’ve been admitted?
It will be in the email that UCSB sent to you confirming the receipt of your application and telling you how to access your portal…
