UC results release date?

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering if anyone knows when UC schools typically release their admission decisions for first-year applicants? I'm a junior, so I'll be applying in the fall and I want to be prepared. Thanks!

Hello! It's understandable to want to be prepared for when UC admission decisions are released. For first-year applicants, decisions are generally released between late February and late March, starting with UC Merced and UC Santa Cruz, followed by the other campuses throughout the month.

Please note that these dates may vary slightly each year, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on each individual UC school's website for updates, or check forums frequented by students discussing admissions such as College Confidential or Reddit.

Here's a quick overview of the typical decision release timeline for UC campuses:

1. UC Merced: Late February

2. UC Santa Cruz: Early March

3. UC Riverside: Mid-March

4. UC Irvine: Mid to Late March

5. UC Davis: Mid to Late March

6. UC Santa Barbara: Late March

7. UC San Diego: Late March

8. UCLA: Late March

9. UC Berkeley: Late March

After receiving your UC admission decisions, you'll usually have until May 1st, the National College Decision Day, to accept the offer from the university you decide to attend. Good luck with your applications in the fall, and I hope you receive positive news from the UC campuses you apply to!
