I was waitlisted and wrote an appeal.
Yeah my 1500 SAT score really seemed to be bad luck this year
rejected
GPA: 4.16
SAT: 1440
Generally acceptances come first then rejections. Not looking good… Sorry guys, it’ll all work out, we’re all extremely qualified applicants.
i called just now and the woman i spoke to reiterated that there were a very strong/high number of SIRs this year so space is very limited. she said more “decisions” were being posted on portals today and had said they’d already started this morning. i said i knew someone who was denied from the waitlist (kinda true) today and asked if the decisions released would mostly be denials, because that’s really what it sounded like.
she said yeah. decisions released on our portal today are most likely going to be denials. she didn’t say when waitlisted students could start to expect good news/to be admitted but she said they would be keeping students on the waitlist til as late as june. there isn’t a lot of space this year. also, you shouldn’t receive an email if you’re denied today. she said you have to keep updating your portal. hope this helps someone, good luck to all of you.
@WinstonZayne i thought the exact same thing. looks like they’re releasing denials first strictly because of space issues…
aw guys this makes me sad
i wrote myself this letter in january and have read before or after every decision, it helps me:
To me,
Winter break is over. Tomorrow, I’m going to be a second semester senior. It doesn’t feel real, but I guess it never truly does. I always feel like I’m living a dream, get through one milestone and look onwards to the next. I never sit back and exist in the moment. I’ve been waiting for this, for the moment I could say I’m a second semester senior. I hope I allow myself to enjoy it for a bit before I start to talk about graduation because I know it’s coming. I seem to live in the future, entranced by the fantasy of tomorrow. Don’t get caught up in it all. For one day, I want you to focus on the now, focus on the things you’re feeling. Whether it be fear, excitement, anxiety, bliss, or everything, memorize it. Allow it to vibrate through you and capture it. You only get to feel it once.
By the time you’ve received this, one of three things will have happened: accepted, deferred, or rejected to your schools. This is it. The day has come, years and years in the making and it’s finally here. I wonder if it feels as big as it does while I write this. I wonder if it feels just as every other “huge event” does, small. Seize this moment, don’t try to feel it after, feel it now.
I have a few things to remind you before you open those decisions:
- They won’t define you unless you allow them to.
- Nothing is the end of the line unless you want it to be.
- You did it all to the best of your ability. YOU put the years of prep into your classes, your SATs, your essays, your EC’s. Know that whatever happens, you gave it your all.
4.Believe in yourself and the effort you have put into this, everything will work out how it is supposed to.
5. Sometimes you don’t go where you want to go, but you will end up where you need to be.
- Remember, there is ALWAYS a reason for something, and you can ALWAYS learn from it. Leave expectations where they belong, nowhere near you.
- Life always goes on.
- You aren’t alone.
It’s crazy for me to write this and even imagine that this day will eventually come, it honestly feels like it never will. Wow, I’m excited, it’s happening. Kjegsrwuwgosjahvkue.
I hope you’re reading this and laughing at me for overthinking and stressing out as much as I did, I mean like I probably cut a few years off my life with all the stress I put on myself. I hope I made you proud, you are the only person you ever have to prove yourself to. Your hard work will still be worth it. It’s a long and hard process, so please don’t lose yourself to it. Work hard for the months ahead. Don’t lose focus. You’ve wanted this for a long time, and everything is within your grasp. You get to control everything, this is all you. YOU GOT THIS!!!
Denied this morning. I’m quite unhappy with my second chance.
I’m devastated
@rozokobo @cwburke i know it’s hard and u have every right to be upset but just remember all the amazing things you have in life right now and how lucky you are. my mom always says if something was yours and leaves then it was never yours to begin with and greater things are coming.
My son just got rejected, but fortunately he was accepted off Cal Poly ‘s waitlist on 5/3.
Good luck to everyone!
Denied 
did they send an email out
Checked again and I got denied. Good luck everyone else.
@bluesky11 see my previous post. you don’t get an email if it’s bad news
I was rejected as well. This is even worse than finding out I was waitlisted. But yes they do send out an email even if you got denied.
@sc124 i got an email as well
Any other waitlist rejectees considering SBCC for TAG?
email came around noon today to check portal
