UC Riverside usually starts rolling admissions at the beginnng of March so I have started the Waitlist/Appeal discussion.
Waitlist admits starting May 12, 2022. Some waitlisted students were offered open majors (not their 1st or alternate choice) August 2. Waitlist closed after August 10
For the Waitlist, remember that the # admitted varies from year to year. Here are some stats from the last few years.

For Appeals:
Complete the online appeal form located on your MyUCR account. No written appeals sent via U.S. mail, faxed, emailed or hand delivered will be accepted.
Please note that while all appeals will be considered, it is not recommended that you appeal an admission decision unless there is new and compelling information that we would not have been able to obtain from your application that would have led us to a different decision. Please note that applicants can not appeal to be placed on the waitlist.
Did anyone get denied yet i didnt get a decision yet and im starting to think im denied from UCR LIKE i wasnt gonna go there but im suppose to reject them not them reject me
UCR historically has had a couple of admission waves. Each year is different and not always on specific dates but since only admits have been posted, there are definitely more decisions coming.
Most schools will not go to their waitlist until after the May 1 SIR deadline, so all waitlisted students need to enroll at another school.
If there are open spots after May 1, then UCR will go to their waitlist and start admitting students. There is no specific type frame on when and if a student will be admitted but some schools will keep their waitlists open until July/August.
Last year, waitlist admits started May 12 and the waitlist remained open until August 10.
Yes, the financial aid office still needs to prepare the waitlisted students FA packages in case they are admitted since usually decisions need to be made within 5-7 days. Having the FA package ready is an important part of the waitlist decision process.
You can contact admission about changing majors but it is highly unlikely since several applicants tried to change majors prior to being waitlisted/denied and the major change was not approved.
