I was accepted to UCR last week; like ammar, I received a fellowhip. This would lead me to believe that they sent their acceptances in waves. However, since their visit day is the 11th of April, I would assume all admitted students would be notified before then so that they could attend. If you haven't already, you might call the department and see what's up. Everyone I've spoken with there has been really helpful and very friendly. Good luck! Ammar, what do you think of the program? Have you talked with any of the professors? You can PM me if you want so that we don't hijack the thread.

I'm 90% sure I'll be attending UCR for grad school in political science this fall and I'm wondering if anyone familiar with the area could suggest a surrounding city to look for housing in. I'm moving from an area with a cost of living similar to that of Riverside so pricing isn't really the issue, I guess I'm just looking for the most bang for my buck. I've looked into Moreno Valley and San Bernardino and I'm wondering what the commute times could be like for cities farther away (e.g. San Jacinto). Basically, I've never lived in southern California before and I don't know how far is too far away to live from campus.
