<p>I have a question regarding admissions into CCS. I checked my UCSB status today, and it said that I was admitted under my second choice major, which was Environmental Studies. My first choice was the College of Creative Studies - Art. Does this mean that I was rejected from the program? I would believe that would be the case, but I also do remember reading that CCS will notify the applicant AFTER the university had replied. So have I been rejected or should I hang in there for an actual reply from the college.</p>
<p>It was my first choice school and I am devastated. I don't know what to do. =[</p>
<p>I dont want to be upset because I have gotten into many other good schools, but i dont know. </p>
<p>UCSD, UCD, UCSC, and UCI are my other choices. UC Berkeley is still pending..</p>
<p>sigh..</p>
<p>Son applied to CCS and got accepted 2 yrs ago (he isn't going). I can't remember which acceptance came first, but I do know that CCS sends a separate one. I would hang in there and not assume rejection yet!</p>
<p>Also, since many people opt out of the school, there are spots open when you actually enroll.</p>
<p>thanks for the reply. it's good to know. I am the only person I know who I applied there. So i dont know anyone else in my situation.</p>
<p>My son applied and was accepted to CCS after he heard from UCSB. It comes later if I remember correctly.</p>
<p>i emailed CCS about it. They're pretty prompt with emails. I should know tomorrow. Thanks everyone for keeping me grounded.</p>
<p>Thats what I am thinking too. I just can't remember what my son's acceptance to UCSB said...if he was accepted under his second choice (undeclared) or what.
Good luck to you though it seems like a great program and it was a tough choice for my son when he decided not to go there.</p>
<p>"Yes, it does mean that you were not admitted to CCS. Our letters <em>do</em> go out after UCSB's do (we're not allowed to send them earlier). You will get yours in a few days."</p>
<p>Wow. Haha..I guess that was fair. I got that from CCS. Alright. I can move on now.</p>
<p>Any suggestions on where to go from here? First choice school was a No.</p>
<p>Aww sorry to hear that! You still have some great choices! You could still go to UCSB and try to get into CCS later.
Son ended up at UCB and loves it, so hopefully you will have that as one of your choices soon!</p>
<p>Yeah. I hope i get into UCB as well.</p>
<p>Davis is looking very appealing to me right now. The negative? It's 15 minutes away from home!</p>
