Is there a way to improve my chances of getting off the wait list?
No, the waitlist is ranked by MCA and major.
Trying to find a thread on waitlist trends. When does SLO start accepting students off of the waitlist usually? Hoping to hear before 5/1!
In the past, if a spot opens up in your major prior to May 1, then the highest ranked applicant on the waitlist will be given the option to accept the spot. Since the majority of the UC decisions have not been posted yet, I would assume that once the UC decisions are out, more applicants will decline their SLO acceptance thus opening more spots.
Most of the posts I have seen in regards when the waitlisted applicants hear about decisions are after May 1.
Make sure you SIR (enroll) in another school by May 1 if you have not heard from SLO.
