<p>It was sent by <a href="mailto:support_939259@crm.orionondemand.com">support_939259@crm.orionondemand.com</a>. I already declined their offer when they offered me admission 1-2 months ago. Is this an imposter?</p>

<p>This actually happened to a friend of mine last year, and it turned out to be legit. UCR is one of the UC’s that does accept students who haven’t applied directly. It’s a good option, I guess, if you’re interested. And, yes, it’s real.</p>

<p>Yes, Riverside has trouble filling its enrollment.</p>

<p>There’s nothing weird about it. The UC system automatically admits qualified CA students even if they haven’t applied.</p>
