Uc waitlist admissions is like 30% but fluctuates a lot depending on the school and year
How do you know if you got in for the honors program, would it just say in the acceptance?
Me too 😭😭😭
Nvm they just tell you
yield protection yield protection yield protection yield protection yield protection yield protection yield protection
Because they think they’re better by sending stupid useless promotional emails but never actually telling you about your results
Gotta speed home
i was accepted but didn't even get confetti 😭
I got accepted like 30 mins ago and the confetti is still going
Like I don’t think the gif ends
Maybe you need to refresh
Is sb Gud for econ
Is it just me or is the financial aid page not showing up
Everything else on the website is working fine but the finaid page is just blank and white
Uci or SB for DS?
@tawny jasper I got in for stats and ds
Congrats!
Same
slay
Me too
Is UCSB DS major great
Does this mean my berk chances
Are lower lmao
I got into SB D and SC
And waitlist I SD and LA
@cobalt bough @scenic ice I had to click through the steps first and view the conditions of admission before it let me see financial aid
Oh ty
Thx
Yeah np
Still not working, do I have to accept the conditions of admission somewhere?
I just clicked on the tab
Same :)
Cuz looking at the schools ppl at my school got into in terms of UC
I think I’ll get into berk lol
PLS UCSB REJECT
Idk, it was kinda complicated when I tried doing it and I clicked on it multiple times
anybody know UCSB engineering admission rates
REJECTED LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the berkeley acceptance is almost guaranteed now
Rejected 😍😍😍😍😍
'yield protected guys fr'
on my admitted major it says physics college of creative studies but in the acceptance letter it says "The College of Creative Studies will notify you separately about your admission to their program."
ong
Nah bro is getting into Harvard ong 🔥
Is the financial aid sign in just the portal sign in info?
I got rejected lol but I got into ucla 😭
Because I’ve been putting it in and it’s not working
Did anyone get ccs decisions yet
Wait is this legit
No
in my admitted major it says physics ccs
but in the acceptance letter
it says
Shows this for me
The College of Creative Studies will notify you separately about your admission to their program.
Cuz the two kids that got in from my school last year were rejected everywhere
Let me see
on your admitted major
is this it?
"If you are not accepted by the College of Creative Studies" so i assume its not guaranteed yet
we should email them
hm
or ask someone that applied ccs last year
im too tired to care rn
lol same
im in ap bio rn
and then i have 3 hours of track practice
and it raining crazy here
tired af
No
congrats!!
Most consistent uc decision
can we trade lol
its random
Got in for pre biology but I want to major in some sort of engineering
What would be easier to get into: electrical or mech engineering
got rejected
for ucsb they are both in the same college (coe) so same level of difficulty
its very hard almost impossible to move from l&s to coe
same. yield protected (trust)
do you know how self guided tours work?
like do they email me a map once i register
do i have to check in
i don't think so
theres a self-guided tour map u can get at the like
office thing
hey do you know anything about the engineering honors program by any chance
and u can just follow the map or walk around
nope
very LOL
yea i've heard some rumours 😭
im a bnad person
oh wait you can do that
but apartments and stuff are all expensive and fill up very fast
well they call it an application but it's basically just you fill out ur information and they have a lottery to pick if u get campus housing or not
it's possible to do all 4 but people who stick with university housing usually go for upperclassmen apartments 3rd and 4th year
and then theres grad student housing
they also prioritize first years and there are dorms that are known as second year dorms, so after that it gets harder to get campus dorms
(also trust you don't want to eat dining hall food every day all 4 years)
ah is the food bad lol
icic
overall it's not bad but not good
you get tired of it after 2 months
does the honors program do anything for housing
i think there's like scholars floors in some dorms specifically for honors students but idk if it gives priority or anything
yea
lol okay
indeed the floor is a floor
it says it is closed on weekends tho
and did u attend open house last year?
it is on 4.15 so i am considering on going
but i have other plans then so idk
no but i did an admitted students tour
do u think it is useful
or can self guided suffice
hmm i think having a guide you can ask questions to is helpful
but the self tours are fine too
yea they out of guided tours for this weekend 😭
yeah there have been a bunch of tours recently
when i was walking to my final i was stuck between two tours 😭
lol that sounds so awk
they walk so slow
yea i did a tour at scu
and it was hella boring
they talk for so long too so idk if guided is a good fit for me
I got in as undeclared but there is a major change form so does that mean that I can request to change to a major that is open or do I have to be re-evaluated?
i dont think you'd miss much if u do a self-guided
also this weekend u said everybody is leaving so saturday should be pretty empty
yess i cant fucking wait to leave LOL
just registered for the tour!
nice! i don't think its raining that weekend too
its fucking pouring today so i feel bad for people that wanted to do a sunset beach walk or something 💀
same here in the bay area
my umbrella got blown to pieces
nooo
lmao walking home i was witnessing every single umbrella in my line of sight being flipped inside out
ucsb is not built for the rain 💀 after storms there's always huge puddles and mud and the music building quad thing gets flooded every time
hm do regents come out w ur acceptance too
waitlisted davis, sd, i. accepted sb, sc. rejected la.
how did davis waitlist me but sb accept me 💀
same bro
I just got accepted. Does anyone know if regent's has already been posted?
@grand iron btw i was checking and i think CCS comes out tomorrow at ~10AM
If you got invited to the CCS open house, you were accepted to CCS. They made their decisions back in mid-February(assuming you applied by the priority deadline).
"Open house activities"
Not necessarily, I can only say that receiving it means you got into it, because the email came from the director of the CCS Mathematics department
Mathematics was my second choice major(I will be double majoring in physics+math), but it was still one of the majors I listed on my UC application.
^And the email was pretty specific to mathematics. So, unless you applied to math(or had it as your second major), it probably doesn't mean anything.
ah
i did computing
i was not expecting to get in anyways dw lol
when do we get finaid awards/learn if we got schollies like regents?
Why does it say pre-econ is that bad
thats 2019-2020
^
oh then I’m not sure
W
basically you need to take pre-major courses in order to be fully in the major
like I'm a pre-stats snd data science major
once i complete the required courses then i can declare my major
u can find what courses you need by googling "ucsb whatever your major is major sheet*
thanks 👍
Thank you, all I can do at this point is pray
ah ok ty
Where does it say tho
but also someone says if you received an email named "open house activities" from ucsb u might have gotten in
like someone on reddit said 4 years ago lol
did u get the email
no
i didnt apply math
it will prob come out tmrw
bruh ima be so sad if got reject from ccs + it literally says physics ccs in my admitted major
ME TOO 🙁
appereantly ucsb regular acceptance rate is similar to ccs acceptance rate
according to college confidental
i heard ccs was a lpot harder
prob since the applicant pool is smaller and those who apply are actually interested in their major
so u have a high acceptance rate but a very competetive applicant pool
icic
CCs?
It's so hard to get into chemical engineering
ucsb college of creative studies
no one can access financial aid page right? it just shows up blank and doesnt load
same
Ok then ig its not ready yet and we gotta wait
oh yeah probablyy
Did anyone get into the ig gc?
@grand iron it’s out good luck
I got in
W me too
I have no idea where ccs places on my college list tho
It’s between ucsb, Umich, and uiuc for now
but I still have berk, cmu, gtech, and ivies coming up
Ty u2
Gl with gatech
I got UIUC gatech UCSB and UCI so
they say that finaid will be released by the end of the month
is there a way to download an acceptance letter
cuz i dont see any download button
You could also just download the page. Hit the print button but change the location from a printer to save as pdf
does ucsb meet 100% need for oos
my aid offer just out and theres no way i dont have a dime of the grant
my efc is 18

Heh UC aid is horrible
Well if you’re in state you could’ve gotten stuff like cal grants if you applied for them
But oos it’s shit
can u appeal the offer
Not sure
Idk if that embeds
But go to page 6
It was on their website
Shows aid stats
Is there a discord for UCSB/co27
Thank you for taking one for the team 🫡 SB is my top choice
me too
Me 3
man they gave me 5.5
i got regents scholarship, is there real prestige to it? the "special privilege" of guaranteed housing is kind of meh
i mean ive heard housing is difficult for sb so guarenteed housing is actually rlly nice
i got a finaid from ucsb but i was wl does thi smean anythign or nah
anyone know around how many are selected for regents
I was wondering the same
top 2% of admitted students
Where do you find if you were selected for Regents?
I think they sent an email a couple hours ago, it’s also listed on the financial aid offer
yea they sent an email 4pm et (1pm pt)
@polar sigil
nah but congrats
I also got regents
did they change your finaid offer on the portal?
\
they changed mine
updated my estimated cost of attendence
is there a ucsb admitted student discord server
^would like to know as well
So what’s ur net cost now? They haven’t changed me
35-36k I forget
dann u still have to pay 35k?
Ye
34k my bad
waitlisted instate cs
How do I appeal
is there a ucsb 27 discord
^if someone could send me the link to the ucsb ‘27 discord too that’d be great
I had but u need to first commit ucsb and have the email address then u can join
How do you get the email address?
have u committed yet? if you have there should be a step about setting up a umail account
I have, but I don’t see any email about setting up a UCSB email
it should be a step in the application portal
Oh ok thanks!
is there a UCSB discord
I will dm u
ty
Me too
me too pls
Can I get the discord link?
I’ll dm u
Anyone got the link
someone should add the discord into the ucsb discord hub for easy access
the server owner needs to be the one to add it to the hub
@long nest could I get that
I’ll DM u
can i also have
Me too please
Didn’t u commit to ucb
Im actually not sure anymore
Did u put down the depositz?
I mean it’s not late unless u withdrew alr
Yea unfortunately
I went to cal day
And they told me it’s impossible to minor in cs and EECS with the new policy basically
And it’s hard to minor in ds or stats too
I got in for applied math
Shit
Did not withdraw anything
250 ain’t a big deal
Did u get cs at ucsb
Ee
K
Ik someone who rejected ucb for ucsb
But people at cal day had no clue since it’s new this year
Unlucky me and future generations
If I get off wl at sd
I will reject sb for it likely
So to cancel my enrollment
Do I just email them?
How did u do it Benz
Cuz I might need to
It’s in ur portal
You withdraw
Or they’ll have the instructions
Do more research tho
You have one week left until the national commitment day
Yes ik
National Commitment Day for me ISNT until I receive a acceptance from CSU LA JOLLA!!!
@long nest can i get ucsb discord inv thanks

I’d suggest checking the UCSB discord server
I’m not even in it yet😭
RIGHT?!

I only have the hub which I cannot join since I don’t have ucsb email

Davis

lmao
ofc everyone in here would want u to choose davis
(everyone who's still here is on the ucsb wl)
nah I got accepted.. and denied UCSB (maybe my boy got my spot hehehe)
well i’m still fingers crossed for san diego but honestly i’m not sure, i just want to go somewhere that has good paid research opportunities where i can publish papers bc i have that here rn
not a pre med guy but i’m looking towards PhD and sticking to academia
just got in off the waitlist and i was wondering how freshman housing works at sb
ya
You send in a form and they give it to u

Hmmm not sure yet
Can u invite me too?
I only have ucsb server but u need to first have ucsb email to join
Anyone study data sci ?
Congrats!
There is a ucsb 2027 server inside the bigger one
But need to first join the bigger one
And almost no people send chat lol
I'm pre stats and ds
Me tooo!
Nice
? I do have the email
find the UCSB discord hub then
just search up discord hub you’ll be able to join if you have the @edu email
hi does anyone know why i cant see my costs for like tuition and my financial aid and stuff
Can u invite?
i’m not in it so i can’t
but it’s on google

only ucsb students can get in
@blazing smelt goofy
i ain’t get no video what
I’ve gotten like 3
they glazing transfers like that huh
poli sci W
data science L
battle royale sounds about right
Anyone got the invitation to the honor program?
Yeah I think everyone who’s in the College of Letters and Science gets it
Dang
which major? 😭
congrats to your friend
btw
ok they really letting in rejected ppl before waitlisted
appeal?
shouldnt waitlist have priority
appeals are for actual application mistakes
waitlist is you good enough but we got other ppl
Me too lmfaoooo
is ucsb's letters and science honors program dumb or what
how is the application closed in less than 24 hrs thats so depressing
Fr
Why couldn't they just use gpa or something
It's literally just when u submit your application
Omg it’s already closed?
That's what I heard
Hopefully submitting it before the deadline means there's space
