| When Do California Colleges Send Acceptance Letters |
When Will the Torture End?
The short answer is: it depends. California colleges are like moody teenagers; they do things on their own time. But generally speaking, most colleges release their decisions in March. Some might be early birds and send out love letters (or rejection notices) in February, while others are more like night owls, keeping you up with suspense until April.
UC Schools: These bad boys typically release their decisions around late March. Think of it as a March Madness bracket, but instead of basketball teams, it's your college dreams.

Cal State Schools: Generally, Cal States are a bit more chill. You can expect to hear back from them sometime between February and April. It's like waiting for the mailman, but with way more excitement (or disappointment).
How to Survive the Wait
- Distract Yourself: Binge-watch your favorite show, take up a new hobby, or start a cult. Just kidding about the cult part.
- Don't Stalk the Admissions Office: It's tempting to refresh your email every 5 seconds, but it's not healthy. Trust me, they'll let you know when there's news.
- Prepare for Both Outcomes: Whether you get in or not, life goes on. Have a backup plan (or five) ready.
- Meditate or Do Yoga: Okay, maybe this is too zen for some, but it can help calm your nerves. Or you could just eat a whole pint of ice cream. Your choice.
How to...
- How to avoid refreshing your email every 5 seconds: Set a timer. Every hour, you're allowed one refresh.
- How to stay sane during the wait: Find a hobby, talk to friends, or watch cat videos.
- How to increase your chances of getting into a California college: Time travel to the past and ace your high school classes. Just kidding (again).
- How to celebrate if you get in: Scream, jump, do a cartwheel, or buy a ridiculous amount of college swag.
- How to pick yourself up if you don't get in: Remember, there are plenty of other great schools out there. And at least you'll save money on tuition.
