His Dad and I both were Slugs and were hoping he would be as well!
@HighSchoolKid123: If you are waitlisted, you should SIR (enroll) in another school since most waitlisted students will not hear until after the May 1 SIR deadline. If you are selected from the waitlist, you can decline the offer or accept and would then have to withdraw from your other school. You are not bound to accept the waitlist spot if you opt in.

Have only acceptances and waitlists been sent out?
Do we know if any updates on scholarships/financial aid will be available now that the final decisions are being rolled out?
@nicksan109 on the UCSC website financial info page it said financial info would be available on 3/23/20-I am guessing that all scholarships etc. are included in that… At least I hope that is the case

The lesson that our high school counselors have passed along is GPA is the main component in UC/CSU acceptance. A 1500 SAT with a 3.4 GPA will not lead to acceptance.
The very low waitlist acceptance last year is the result of higher than anticipated yield. The situation might have led to a lower acceptance rate this year with the knowledge that UCSC can draw heavily from the waitlist once the actual yield becomes clearer.
Good luck to all!

D waitlisted. I know this has come up on a different thread, but if anyone knows can someone re-post recent stats for SC waitlist? I believe I had read that 4000 kids got in off the waitlist last year.
Thanks!
