<p>I am waitlisted on UCSB and have heard last year, everyone on the waitlist got accepted. Does anyone have a feeling that it might happen again? What are the average statistics of those accepted.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.57
SAT: 1910</p>
<p>Waitlisted, but don't think I have a good chance :(</p>
<p>wow everyone? how many were wait listed last year?</p>
<p>I sure hope so. I really really really wanna get in. My stats aren’t so great either. GPA: 3.67 SAT: 1870 </p>
<p>Last year, 2,428 were waitlisted. Of those 2,428 people, 1,200 accepted the waitlist option. And of those 1,200 people, 400 chose to commit to UCSB.</p>
<p>Is it by the most qualified to the least? (being that they give you a number) or is it by random?</p>
<p>I’m not quite sure about that. I hope they don’t do it like that because my stats are significantly lower than people on the waitlist. I think it’s random though.</p>
<p>I was waitlisted as well. I have a 3.6 UC GPA, 28 ACT, Great EC’s, and Good Essays.</p>
<p>One more thing I would like to mention is that I am currently in the process of appealing because a recent personal event that has arisen which might require that I stay in the area for college. (UCSB is only about 30 min away from home)</p>
<p>As for how the waitlist is going to look this year, I think it is going to be MUCH better than last year. According to an article published by the Daily Nexus today, UCSB plans to enroll 3,900 Freshman this year, up from 3,720 last year. That means 120 more spots that are available. If UCSB assumes that the same percentage of people will enroll of the waitlist this year as they did last year (around 33%-400/1200) then UCSB should admit about 360 more people off of the waitlist than last year. 120 more spots*3 (to account for the 33% yield off of the waitlist like last year)= 360. </p>

<p>This is estimate assumes that the yield this year is around the same as the yield last year (18.5%). If the yield is huge then not many people will get off the waitlist.</p>
<p>180 spots would actually be available, which makes it 540…right? Anyways, @FutureENTSurgeon you just gave me A LOT more hope. Hopefully, this happens and I’ll be able to get off the waitlist. I was thinking about appealing as well, but I don’t think I have much ground to appeal on except for significantly higher grades than all previous years.</p>
<p>oh hopefully this is true. i really want to get into UCSB</p>
<p>good luck guys and gals!</p>
<p>Oops, my bad. I don’t know why I wrote down 120. I meant 180*3= 540 more spots. </p>
<p>Like I said, this all depends on the yield. If its high then not as many people will get off of the waitlist as last year. My counselor’s personal belief is the that with the rising costs of attending a UC and the current state of the economy, not as much people are going to enroll this year as pervious years.</p>
<p>so the less people that enroll this year,means that people on the waitlist will have a better chance of getting in?</p>
<p>And did “everyone on the waitlist” get in last year?</p>
<p>Yeah, that is the idea.</p>
<p>As for everyone getting off of the waitlist, that is a big exaggeration. Last year 50% got accepted off of the waitlist (1200/2400). And of those 1200, 400 decided to enroll. </p>

<p>Someone from another thread who called the admissions office after getting waitlisted at UCSB, was told that everyone on the waitlist last year eventually got in.</p>
<p>hopefully everyone gets in this year too.</p>
<p>I think there’s a good chance if enrollment goals went up.</p>
<p>My son was waitlisted last year and got in. </p>
<p>GPA 3.98
SAT 1980
ACT 29</p>
<p>Great ECs. Yes, I have heard that almost everyone was admitted from the waitlist last year. I know that this year, UCSB had 63,000 applicants with an average GPA of 4.0. The average GPA last year was 3.98.</p>
<p>Good Luck :)</p>
<p>ALMOST everyone? That worries me…</p>
<p>Its everyone that got in.</p>
<p>Whatever you do little future freshmen, don’t GIVE UP on the whole waitlist situation.</p>
<p>Here is what happened: around 2000 applicants were offered to be on the waitlist last year. 1200 accepted the offer, and when they all got in, only 400 actually committed to ucsb</p>
<p>I am waitlisted too, SB is my number one choice school so I hope I get in. I also sent in an appeal with a good essay and reason. Do you think I have a slightly greater chance?</p>
