Hello! I'm planning on applying to several UC schools and I'm curious about the decision dates. When do UCs like Berkeley, UCLA, and UCSD typically release their admission decisions? I want to mentally prepare myself and not get too anxious about it.
Hello! Applying to college can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, so it's understandable that you want to know when decisions come out. UC schools generally release their admission decisions in mid-March for regular decision applicants. Here's a rough timeline for some of the popular UC campuses:
- UC Berkeley: Mid-March
- UCLA: Mid-March
- UCSD: Mid-March
- UC Davis: Mid-March
- UCSB: Mid-March
- UC Irvine: Late March
- UC Santa Cruz: Mid-March
Please note that these dates may vary slightly each year, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on the respective university websites for any updates or changes. You will receive an email notification when your decision is available to view in the applicant portal. For early decision applicants, decisions are typically released in mid-December.
Try not to stress too much about the exact date and remember that waiting for decisions is a normal part of the college application process. In the meantime, focus on your studies, continue to pursue your extracurricular interests, and try to enjoy your senior year!
