denied. i didnt get an email to check portal though
4.27 uc gpa
34 act
checked my portal right now. denied. quite confused as the people around me with lower stats got in, but I guess things happen for a reason. regardless, UCSB was a school that I thought I had a good chance of admission to, but I got waitlisted and now rejected.
Did anyone who sent an appeal letter get a rejection? My portal hasn’t been updated yet and I also sent one in. I’m wondering if they still have to read through those who sent one in.
I got rejected
Major: Mechanical Engineering
UC GPA: 4.14
ACT: 34
@hopefulucsb My daughter appealed (biology major) and was rejected today. Best of luck
So, I got an email update from UCSB and I was waitlisted without appeal. Does this mean I got rejected?
Son rejected, received email this afternoon
Mechanical Engineering major, in-state
UW GPA 4.0, UC GPA 4.3
SAT 1460
tough year for admissions, good luck to the rest still waiting!
@texcalmom gotcha. Best of luck to your daughter as well!
My son was waitlisted, we appealed and got a flat out rejection today. He is hispanic went to private HS:
SAT 1380
ACT 32
Weighted GPA 4.29
EC’s, Sports, community service, COSMOS, worked summers.
I do know for a fact that the school admitted students with lower GPA’s, and the admissions office stated that they look for more than just grades. Well that is all BS as we know and can attest that students that got rejected definitely have the academic credentials to get admitted.
The school has quotas for those that don’t have access to good private or public schools and thus are turned away, because chances are that kids with great scores will have more options. However the quota kids with 3.0 GPA’s don’t have those options. Welcome to socialized education.
Did they only send out rejections today??
@heyitsme39 I believe so
I think the decisions for waitlist are really based around what major you choose and if there’s any room in that department. I got accepted for Chemical Engineering yesterday. Stats: 4.3 UC GPA, Hispanic, 1360 SAT, Some ECs and sports
What time yesterday did you get accepted? Did you also send in an appeal? Did they send you an email, or did you just check your portal? Are you going to accept?
Thanks for all of the 411! You’re the first person that we’ve heard of getting accepted off of the waitlist this entire year! Congrats!
D WL then rejected
1550s SAT
In-State
It makes me wonder … why bother? @Moises are you in-state?
@pacers8 are you for real?
@pacers8 were you already accepted to a different major and waitlisted for the college of engineering? One of my friends was and he was denied yesterday, but he is already attending the school as an econ major.
@HopefulOne2000 Idk I checked yesterday at about 2 PM PST. No i did not send an appeal. I just checked the portal, no email. And yes Im going to accept.
@heyitsme39 yes
@dood523 No I was waitlisted in general for Chemical Engineering first choice Mechanical Engineering second choice.
Well congratulations! @pacers8 I’m not an engineering major, but anyone that is hear anyone else get in?
