The University of California (UC) system will be releasing admissions decisions on a set schedule through the end of April. While UC Riverside and UC Merced have already sent some admissions decisions, the other eight campuses will not be releasing decisions until this week.
The following is a listing by campus of when admissions decisions will be available online for both freshmen and transfer students.
Campus Name | Freshman | Transfer |
Berkeley | March 27, 2014 | April 25, 2014 |
Davis | March 14, 2014 | April 18, 2014 |
Irvine | March 17-21, 2014 | April 18, 2014 |
Los Angeles | March 21, 2014 (early evening) | Late April |
Merced | March 6, 2014 – Rolling | March 18, 2014 – Rolling |
Riverside | January 14, 2014 – Rolling | March 1, 2014 – Rolling |
San Diego | March 15, 2014 | April 18, 2014 |
Santa Barbara | March 17, 2014 | March 17, 2014 – Rolling |
Santa Cruz | March 15, 2014 | March 17, 2014 – Rolling |
“Rolling” notifications means that initial responses will be released on the date listed, and additional notifications will be made going forward from that date. Campuses without “rolling” notifications means that all decisions will be released on the date stated.
For Freshmen applicants only: UC admissions decisions will include waitlist offers. Every UC campus, except Merced, will be using a waitlist for freshman applicants. Waitlist offers are not exactly an acceptance letter, yet not exactly a denial. Choosing to stay on a waitlist can be a complicated decision, especially if the campus is a top choice. With no guarantees for admissions from a waitlist, consulting a knowledgeable adviser is prudent when considering to accept a waitlist offer or not.
May 1, 2014 is the national deadline for deciding to enroll at a college for new freshmen. Transfer applicants will have until June 1, 2014 to make a final decision about enrolling at a particular UC campus.
