Hi all,
As an anxious senior awaiting (hopefully) their first acceptance letter, I check my UCR portal and email every hour or so for updates, to no avail.
My question, to those of you that have already been accepted (and/or rejected), at what time (and weekday) did UCR send your acceptance email/ update your portal?
I want to get a sense of when/ how often I should be checking for updates.
Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone!!!
Same here!! I check multiple times, every day. It’s so annoying because all of my friends have gotten their acceptances but I haven’t. I was told that they receive the email at around 2:16 PM, so that’s when I check. BUT, another friend told me that he didn’t get an email, and he had to check the portal to see his decision, but he didn’t know what time it had been updated.
I know some guy who ended up going to UCSD who didn’t get an acceptance until the end of February… so we may have to wait a bit longer 
@se1997 same! Apparently UCR’s even sent them follow up material and I’m still waiting on a decision. >_<
From what I’ve heard, they send decisions in waves. I estimate that I’ll get a decision within the next week or two.
I received an acceptance email at about 11 am Thursday morning
UCR is early, why do all the other UCs wait until MArch?

I went from checking three times a day to just once a day (seeing admissions roll in for almost a month will do that to you). I checked this morning and I was accepted (along with a Chancellor award) for my intended major! Don’t stress yourself out… your admission decision will come when it comes. I know it’s easier said than done though. All the best!
