I just realized I got accepted into UCR since I opened my applicant portal (even got Regent’s scholarship! yay). But now i’m just wondering, is there a reason why this didn’t forward to my email? I checked all my details and it’s clearly listed in my applicant portal what my email address is. I ideally wanted to forward emails of my acceptance letters to my parents (idk guess i kinda want them to feel the suspense of opening an acceptance/rejection email too lol). Not in my spam either, or perhaps it just takes letters a lil bit more time to go through personal emails?
Not really a big deal though, since l bookmarked all the applicant portals of the UCs I applied to and can easily access them. Apart from UCR, I applied to 4 other UCs as a transfer from a CCC. Wish me luck! Hope everyone else is receiving good news from their dream schools!
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but decisions usually just go on the portal; I don’t think I’ve heard of an instance where someone got an acceptance email from a UC. If anything, they get an email saying “Welcome to XYZ School” that details the next steps.
@throwingestaways I got acceptance emails from both UCR and UCSC so far. I did get the portal update before the email for both of them though. I got the UCR email the day after being admitted through the portal and the UCSC email about 18 hours after the portal update.
My UCR portal also was the only place where I was notified of my acceptance. I was also worried since UCSC actually sent me an acceptance email. But it’s normal honestly I also experienced likewise the same issue.
