I didn't receive anything and I think if acceptances were sent out, there would have been a good amount of posts here unless they vastly reduced their intake for the next year (unlikely). The previous poster is basing their "guesswork" on previous years which obviously doesn't apply this year due to the corona circumstances and all the shutdowns.

The previous user assumes acceptance letters were sent yesterday. Did anyone receive anything? The wait is extenuating...

I haven't received any decision yet, but I'm guessing the first group of admittees will be notified today and based on how many admittees submit their SIR, they will also probably admit a few more people on Thursday, March 26th. However, March 26th will probably be mainly rejections as historically they seem to admit one week and then send out rejections the following week. And I'm pretty sure all decisions will be out this month.

WAIT to the person who got admitted just now below, are you MEng???

To the question below regarding UCSB: International student (Graduated from IIT). One question: How's UCSB MS CS ( How is life at UCSB, how are career oppurtunites?)

TTPB: I received my notification at midnight pacific time, but like 2 weeks ago. They update the portal during the day but send out admissions at midnight.

To the poster below, do you happen to be an international applicant or an US citizen?

Received an email to check the status update

Guys, need some info. How's UCSB MS CS compared to other UCs?

FML!

TTPB: I was referring to your first post, I know that in the second post you said unlikely, but I was pointing out that there's an inconsistency in your first and second post since your first post didn't indicate any exception to admits being finalized.

Do you understand the difference between 'unlikely' and 'impossible'? Admissions are finalized and sent out but students may decline offers, which means it is unlikely to get acceptance by now but not impossible. The more you rely on false hopes, the more you would be disappointed when you got rejection in the end.

TTPB: You initially claimed that your POI stated that all admits were finalized though, even giving exact numbers of how many. If they're still sending offers to people from the shortlist why would your POI say all admits are finalized?

:(((((((

Got email to check the portal.

TTPB: I understand the gravity of the situation, there is a complete lockdown in my country too. The issue is that I have other university deadlines to respond to. I cannot ask other universities to delay their deadline because I'm waiting for my dream school to release their decision. It's enough for us to have to deal with coronavirus lockdowns and agonize over our health in addition to grad school decisions. They could atleast update us that it will be released in april instead of keeping us waiting like this.
