I got in yesterday, transfer from University of Wisconsin, English major. 3.45 gpa, sure took a long time for them to get back to me but feels good to know I can go there if I want. Also got into davis and waitlisted at ucsd, haven’t heard back from uci yet
@wisconsinbdgr I am also coming from wisconsin! not UW but a small private school. Its good to see another person coming from out of state cause I feel like theres not a lot of us.
@daisy181998 I haven’t heard back yet, but I’m coming from out of state (Texas) also! I grew up in the bay area though. Only accepted to ucsb so far, and still waiting on UCI and UCSC
Thanks again, @ohm888. Hopefully we’ll get the same info from both schools (I keep checking for emails…I guess if needed, we’ll call on Monday, but I sure would like it in writing). I think she would be happy at UCSC (even though CS is in the School of Engineering, but not as a separate college like UCI) and I’m sure there’s plenty of recruitment from nearby Silicon Valley, but her first choice is Irvine. But she still has to do extremely well in Calc 3 (which isn’t required by either college, but she took it because of other schools she had applied to) and it’s been tough on her. If she somehow doesn’t fulfill her TAG at UCI, she’ll still have the grades for UCSC hopefully. But she won’t know until after both schools see her final transcript from her CC (she’ll send off her transcript from her freshman year at a CSU, a 4.0, but who knows if all those grades will count). She wants to start the process at Irvine (signing up for housing and summer school, and that means turning in her SIR).
@1jellybeanaway your D is in Cal 3 now? Or is that her summer plan?
She’s taking Calc 3 right now. She’ll take her final on May 15.
Her summer plan is to start summer school at whichever UC she’s going to.
We got a reply from UCSC about the SIR, but whoever replied thinks my daughter was intending to submit her SIR to both schools and says that if one of the schools catches that, could revoke her acceptance. So I replied and said that no, she’s not planning to submit SIRs to both schools at a time. That if somehow she doesn’t get good enough grades for her TAG (which means the original SIR is no longer valid), then she’ll submit a SIR to the other school (with the additional fee) before June 1 (she should definitely get the 2.0 for the second school; the tag was for a 3.4 gpa which she might get anyway, but there’s always the possibility, given her test anxiety, that she might just miss).
She actually made the deans list at her CC (and was a presidential scholar at her CSU), but sometimes she has health or anxiety issues. She’s actually finished all the courses that were required for the CS transfer, but her tag specifies getting at least a B in Psych this semester, which she should be able to do.
It’s just nerve wracking that in order to really eliminate this worrisome situation is to forget about UCI, which is her first choice and go with UCSC, her second choice.
I just visited ucsc today. Lemme just tell ya something: PEACEFUL.

@hottim Oh yay! I actually haven’t been accepted yet either haha but i’m just hoping I do.
@daisy181998 Hopefully we hear back soon, every other UC has sent me their decisions idk why ucsc is taking so long but my anxiety is high lol
what other places did you apply to?
I applied to most of the UC’s and some schools in texas- Accepted to UCSB, Waitlisted at UCI, Denied from Berkeley, LA, SD, Merced. Still waiting on UCSC, UT Austin, and UT Dallas
Still haven’t received any decision, starting to wonder if something went wrong. Is anyone else still waiting on theirs too?
Havent recieved my decision from UCSC or UCI yet. the anxiety is killing me, i heard some speculation that its just rejections from here on out, wanted everyone to enjoy their weekends before they hit us with the rejection letters on monday
@bidgemoo i hvnt received anything yet either
I read on another thread that people still got accepted on the 30th, so it’s possible they’re still sending out acceptances. I’m still waiting on ucsc but I got waitlisted at uci on friday
If we don’t get a response tomorrow, it means we got rejected right?
nahh if you dont get a response AT all you should contact them and notify them right away. Its likely they just forgot to send you a decision, or very rarely they might have lost your application.
but SO many people havent heard anything yet, including myself so im sure we will all get a response tomorrow, either acceptance or rejection :—/
long time lurker. just got accepted as a lower division, sophomore transfer from a CC. didn’t meet any academic requirements - no TAG, no IGETC, no completed pre-reqs. kinda surprised i got admitted. thought i’d throw it out there for my other lower division hopefuls.
