<p>As far as I am aware, the UCs don't do that, although perhaps Davis is beginning to, as their admissions were somewhat erratic this year. I doubt it, though.</p>
<p>I have never seen a UC waitlist a student. Spring admission, yes, but not a waitlisting. Also, if I may say so myself, my stats are above the UCSD median/average, and I did not get the e-mail, yet I did get a Scholars' Day invitation, so not getting the e-mail isn't a bad thing either.</p>
