Hey! Can anyone give me an idea of when the University of California schools usually release their admission decisions? I just want to know how much time I'll have to make a decision once I get the results.
Hey! UC admission decisions are typically released between late February and late March. Here's a general timeline for the different UC schools, but keep in mind these dates can change slightly from year to year:
- UC Berkeley: Late March
- UC Los Angeles (UCLA): Late March
- UC San Diego (UCSD): Mid-March
- UC Davis: Mid-March
- UC Irvine (UCI): Late March
- UC Santa Barbara (UCSB): Late March
- UC Santa Cruz (UCSC): Mid-March
- UC Riverside (UCR): Mid-March
- UC Merced (UCM): Mid-March
Regardless of when you receive your decision, once you receive all your admissions decisions, you'll have until May 1st (known as National College Decision Day) to commit to one of the universities and submit your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). This should give you about a month or more to consider your offers and make your final decision. Good luck!
