Does anyone know how many students UCI accepted this year and how many are on their waitlist? How does the waitlist work to be accepted off of it? Is it random? Are the chances of getting accepted off the waitlist good because of the budgest issue?

“We’re very excited to welcome newly admitted Freshmen to the UCI family! For waitlisted students, please remain hopeful for admission as many applicants are indeed offered admission from the waitlist. #uci #future anteaters”
-From the UCI Admissions page on FB.
Has anyone know when we find out if we got off?

we find out by may 15 as it says on the portal. they have to see how many people are actually going to commit compared to how many spots there are
Hi. From my speculations, I think uci will accept a lot from the waitlist this year. When UCI accepts around 35%, they accept a lot from the waitlist. 2012 and 2014 was around a 35-36% acceptance rate, therefore the reason why almost everyone if not all was accepted off the waitlist. 2013 they had around a 42% acceptance rate because they decided to accept more upfront instead of relying on the waitlist, which is the reason why no one was accepted off the waitlist in 2013. Also, there is a uc budget crisis this year and so the uc schools do not know how much funding they will receive from california. Many articles have posted and the uc people have said themselves that they will probably get a lot of people from the waitlist this year if they receive more state funding. Even if we don’t receive more state funding, because of the idea that the uc’s dont know how much funding they’ll get, naturally the acceptances will be way lower than the target enrollment rate.It wouldn’t make sense for uci to have another 2013 situation when they have no idea how many students they should enroll, so yeah they’ll most likely accept less. (yeah i’m obsessed lol. I researched so much 
and sorry if it doesnt make sense I was too lazy to revise it)
So there is a good chance to get accepted off the waitlist given the news?
@coolforschool that’s what I think, yes
Uci usually accepts a lot from the waitlist compared to other uc schools as well.
But then again, we don’t know for sure until it actually happens.
Are you waitlisted as well?
@coolforschool yes LOOL
Hey @waitlisted1234 nice research! but I was looking at this article http://www.acceptancerate.com/schools/university-of-california-irvine and the numbers are different.
