This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Accepted people: how long has it been taking to get residency decisions/information back?
 
Has anyone received the pre-req email that they said we would be receiving during interview day?

This is our life every single morning. hahahaa....... 🙁
 
so... I haven't heard anything since applying in July. I still haven't been rejected - are they done interviewing? Why not just reject us by now?
 
Rejected as well. Honestly kind of glad, since their OOS tuition is so high and they don't allow you to get IS tuition after the first year
 
Anyone else having trouble getting a response from the SOM email? I've sent two emails over the past couple months with no response.....
 
I'm an applicant who interviewed 2/10. Called today and asked if there was an update on when we can expect to hear back - was told we'd hear back by the end of the month. Slightly frustrated considering they told us we'd hear back within 2 weeks.

I interviewed 2/3 and they told us committee met on the 17th and we would hear the next week. Nothing so far. Match just happened, so they've likely been busy. All we can do is wait. Take heart - you aren't alone.

Thank you for this reply. I wish I had the same patience as you my friend 🙂
How many spots do you think we are competing for? As of now the tracker says 205 acceptances. With a class size of ~18- I'd assume they accept 1.5x the desired class size. 1.5 * 180 = 270. These are all uneducated speculations..

A friend who works with admissions said that they originally intended to hand out~285 (about the same as last year), but have been getting higher than usual acceptances of their offers. Likely some of the delay is due to them trying to re-adjust their estimates on how many offers they can give to meet their 18- class size without going over.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insider info! I keep sitting here trying to make calculations of how many people they interviewed since their update + how many more offers they can make to calculate my chances but in the end it won't change a thing. I truly fell in love with this school when visiting despite the outrageous OOS cost.

Don't most people hold onto multiple acceptances at this point?

Maybe it's because the multiple acceptance report shows that more of the people they accepted only have one acceptance compared to previous years.

I suspect that there might be a misunderstanding somewhere. It seems more likely that they need to curtail the number of acceptances they offer because they have offered more than expected at this point, rather than more people accepting than expected. I imagine that at this point, 100 percent (or close to it) of people who are offered acceptance take it.

If you're correct in that they met on the 17th, then they met today again as well. Here's to hoping some people hear back!
 
Any ideas as to what day of the week we'll likely hear from them on? I am stuck with believing that it'll be a Friday/Monday, but it could be any day now, correct?
 
I couldn't take it so I called and asked when we could expect to hear anything. I was just told by the end of this month. Just thought I'd pass it along.
 
Has anyone received an email regarding the UCD Student Access Portal, a student ID number, or email account?

Nothing here. Emailed them a couple times over the past few months and haven't been able to get a response about any of these items.

I'm kind of surprised that accepted students aren't getting more love!

Well I know they're down an admissions person (usually 5 and one person took a different job) so that's probably adding to things being slower than expected.
 
Anyone who submitted scholarship applications know when we will hear back? Does anyone know if they give scholarships automatically and, if so, when?
 
I'm kind of surprised with the lack of communication, too. I received a financial aid notification, confirmation of second look day, second wave of scholarship applications, and plenty of contact from another school I'm looking at. I emailed here and they said they couldn't find my accepted student paperwork, and I didn't receive any sort of confirmation about signing up for second look day or anything.

I am kind of in a similar boat. I received an acceptance phone call a few years back and yet to receive any email or mail, although my portal has updated... Did something similar happen to anyone. Can I call and ask them to send me an email?

***Edit lol, I meant weeks. my bad.

Has CU sent out any post interview rejections/waitlist appointments?
Click to expand...

I don't think they have sent out any rejections. I know they haven't sent out the waitlist. The usually send out waitlist notifications close to March 31st. I don't expect we will hear much until closer to end of next week.

No acceptances have been reported on SDN since 2/24. The admissions tracker was last updated on 2/9 with 205 acceptances. The class size is 184.

I called earlier and they said waitlists/rejections should be out within the next few days. They weren't any more specific than that so I'm assuming around next Friday as well.
