@waitlisted1234 I know, that bothers me too. I was looking for the statistics yesterday and couldn’t find anything.
@waitlisted1234 Same! Getting the public aware over the unusual admission numbers + increase of out of state students accepted this year is a good strategy for the budget issue to be resolved. I wonder if Governor Brown
and the President of the UC system has finalized the budget yet.
Where are you all going if you don’t get into UCI? I think we will all get in, but just wondering.
@coolforschool go to ucsc 8)
@coolforschool oh wow you’re super close!
well either way you can just join clubs and make friends. Im sure it’ll be easy for you since you seem very nice
@mmeza14 yeah honestly I couldn’t find anything either. Like they better release something soon.
@lollicupcatxx right? I don’t think they have resolved it yet. I haven’t found any recent late April/may posts regarding the issue.
I read somewhere that they’re going to keep revising the budget till June.
@coolforschool im going to UCR if I don’t get in. It makes me wish that I applied to more schools (I applied to UCR,UCI,UCLA,UCSD) cus I feel like I could’ve gotten into ucsb/ ucd
But it is what it is
@heyitsjon
Nice! Ucsc has a beautiful campus!!! The atmosphere and school life seems really fun too
@waitlisted1234 Thanks haha. You’re really nice too :D.
Do you all think that a 2013 occurence could happen again or not? In 2012 all waitlisted students were admitted. In 2014 80% were admitted. However in 2013 all of the 1400 or so that opted in were rejected.
@coolforschool haha thanks!!
Honestly anything is possible. It could happen but in my opinion, I think it won’t. As I said earlier, why would they accept so many when they don’t know how much budget they will get?
Their enrollment is capped to last year’s, meaning they can only accept the same amount that they did last year (and they accepted a lot from the waitlist that year)
But if the 2013 does happen again, it may be because they accepted a lot of out of state/international students. Idk about out of state students but not many international students will attend because it’s way more expensive. (That’s what happened in 2012. Uci accepted a lot of international students but not many attended so they pulled everyone off the waitlist)
I know a lot of people who denied UCI and are attending other schools so then their spots will open up!
I’m hopeful. I check my portal like 100 times everyday, no joke. I just checked a few minutes ago and for some reason it was slower than usual :O. Maybe that could foreshadow something? haha
Haha maybe. Well good luck everyone!! I’m feeling may 4th for some reason
@waitlisted1234 I hope you’re right…
@ethanchanner I hope im right too LOL ;(
Can anyone try calling admissions and asking them? I read some forums from a few years ago and they were told that they wouldn’t get in
So maybe the admissions people will tell us some details?? Hehe I would call them but I’m too scared…
I would call too but pretty scared haha
@coolforschool hahahha >.<
