<p>Just checked UCSC portal and I've been admitted. It's my back-up's back-up, but it's still a fine institution that anyone should be happy to attend (including me, should I not get into my other schools).</p>
<p>Major: CSE
GPA: 4.0
Prereqs: Probably all of them that articulate (I've forgotten)
EC's: Average
Essays: 9/10 on 1st, 7/10 on 2nd</p>
<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Funny thing is that when I logged in it showed no “new” messages. You have to click “Application Status” to get the information.</p>
<p>Also, I really like this school. It is a fine institution, especially if you like physics or biology. I applied because I think I would like going there. </p>
<p>Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>Wow, I am looking at my major and it looks like you can change it. Anyone know what this is?</p>
<p>Thanks! It’s a very muted joy I’m experiencing. It’s my first UC admittance, but I have to wait another 6 weeks to hear from preferred schools.</p>
<p>When I go to “update major” the page doesn’t load, so I’m not sure.</p>
<p>I guess they don’t do “preliminary Finaid” like UCSD does? You have to submit that crap?</p>
<p>I was hoping I could see if they would give me more money. Does anyone know if one can get UCs to give more aid by telling them that they got into X school with Y aid, but you want to go to their school if you get more aid?</p>
<p>I have no idea. They might explain it in the packet they send out to admits.</p>
<p>Hi, thanks for the heads up! I was admitted! Congrats to all who got in! I’m just waiting on UCSB and Cal at this point =)</p>
<p>I GOT ACCEPTED! and unlike most of you this was actually my first choice school. I’ve always loved the campus and they have a good program for my major</p>
<p>Major: Environmental Science/studies
GPA: 2.9
Prereqs: done and igetc done
EC’s: environmental club and part time job
Essays: I wrote them last minute, didnt think they were even that great.</p>
<p>@BayAreaTransfer Did you apply to UCLA?</p>
<p>I am still waiting for Cal, UCLA, and UCSB.</p>
<p>I’m very happy for you, jaclynlilli. It must feel good to get accepted to your 1st choice. Good luck!</p>
<p>Mine still hasn’t updated yet, and I’m kind of disappointed. Ohh well, just a bit longer I guess D=.</p>
<p>Yay! I’m in too!</p>
<p>Major: Politics
GPA: 3.62
Prereqs: Done (IGETC)

Essays: both lame</p>
<p>My first acceptance… and I stayed up to check my portal at midnight until I got through at 1am.</p>
<p>Major: History
GPA: 3.3-3.4 (3.8 Major GPA)</p>
<p>Say what you will about UCSC…it’s the first UC that’s given me my decision so far, and as such, will always have a place in my heart hahaha. Still waiting on UCI and UCSD, argh.</p>
<p>@ bigshow, </p>
<p>No I didn’t apply to UCLA. I know it sounds insane, but it’s not a school I’ve wanted to go to. My dream school is Berkeley, and that’s my #1 choice. The major is perfect and it’s close to home so I can save money in this down economy =)</p>
<p>@ BayAreaTransfer</p>
<p>I understand. I wish I lived around any of the campuses. Well, I live near UCR, but I don’t want to go there. </p>
<p>What is your major?</p>
<p>Levonid, UC Riverside popped my acceptance cherry last year, it still holds a place in my heart.</p>
<p>but i didnt apply this year lol</p>
<p>“UC Riverside popped my acceptance cherry last year.”</p>
<p>***. That is wrong on so many levels lol.</p>
