Oh wow! I’m surprised they started releasing with so many applications to still look at.
what the hell
Thats comforting and frustrating at the same time haha
It makes sense given all the other UCs release transfer decisions in late April. They probably focus on TAG and specific application types first (certain majors? local CCs? high stats?) and release those first. The good news is that if you haven’t heard, it doesn’t mean that you’re not getting in!

dooope we love that 
The worker at admission department was really kind… So I was glad to contact with them
i applied to ucsc with tag but i still haven’t got a decision update 
20th? Do they send our notifications on weekends?
I’m guessing they don’t. My other letters came on Fridays and Mondays. But sometimes school services are still open on Saturdays so it’s possible. I’m trying to be patient but it’s so hard when I was expecting them to be out already. It sucks that they haven’t even reviewed half of the applicants. I was looking forward to hearing back from at least one more school to hold me over until April 
Not sure if I buy that they haven’t reviewed over half applications. I think the person was just blowing smoke. It’s been four months and they’ve only reviewed a fraction, with the majority gonna be complete in a little over a month? I think they’ve reviewed most of it, and the rest is just bureaucratic stuff, maybe even a tactical move to get you to commit, or make their school seem more elite.

That’s a good point. Didn’t a lot of the UCs get record-breaking amounts of applications from frosh and transfers? they would be reviewing almost 5k or more applications if that’s the case for UCSC. At least based on past application amounts. That seems like a lot to go through by April if that were true…

it feels like pretty much all of college confidential is conspiracy theories. it breeds so much insecurity amongst great students and parents that will look back at these dumb forum posts later in their life like why did we all bother worrying so much.
i say this yet here i am, scrolling through hoping to get more information on “waves” of admissions like im in a damn water park.

Is there even waves on weekends? I just want my decision so I can move out asap.
I don’t think decisions on the weekend are likely unfortunately

Then would you kindly put forth an explanation as to why in four months they’ve reviewed less than half of applications, and in a month expect to review the majority of it? Appealing to authority and saying coz they said it probably won’t fly.
I don’t even want to go there that badly. (can’t afford it anyway) I’m just impatient asf
same buddy
as far as I know, we put any school we apply to. but dont take my word for it.
