@deadhardy They don’t allow that as far as I know. If you want Cal you have to deal with the spring admit situation. :frowning:

Didn’t get in

Do they do this “spring admit” for Haas? I’m just curious for my own ‘hindsight is 20/20’ sake.

@lynammo Congratulations!

No spring admit, @TheLongRun

Did you apply Haas? @TheLongRun Whats your stats if so?

Waitlisted… should I SIR UCLA and still opt for waitlist to CAL? It seems waitlist comes out on JUNE 1 which is the deadline for UCLA SIR

@sarah38 Davis wont kick you out. if you havent payed school fees for uc davis this fall then you should be all good to go for ucla. Question Once you deffer at ucla do they take your sir away. i sir to ucla but due to my grdes at uc davis it could be rescinded but i have a retro active with draw in the works to remove the bad grades if approved which i explained to ucla . what was your major but hopefully ucla sees that

@Orangered123 did you get in?

@ylfsef Nope. Waitlist. So don’t know how to feel.

@briank82 Thanks for the response, Haas expert! :slight_smile: Hope all is going well!

@IvyLeague2 I didn’t apply to Haas to cut my losses and to have UCB as a contingency plan. I posted on this thread already for Econ, but I’ll copy & paste to save you some clicking:

What are the chances we’ll get off the waitlist? Doesn’t seem like they took anyone from last year’s thread on here, so some stats would be appreciated.
