Do you guys think UCD might have waitlisted those with higher stats or possibility of getting into a âhigherâ school to save their yield?

Son waitlisted (WL) in Design. They want essays with wait list application by mid April.
They would release decisions on WL only after May 1 and before sometime in June.
Since my son has many good OOS/ private industrial/interaction design programs in hand (RIT, DAAP CInci, UOregon, CCA), does the system allow accepting to one of these; while applying for wait list?
The only reason to send him to UC Davis is proximity to home, not knowing how good the design program is vs. what he has in hand (any comments on their design program will be helpful).
Wow all over the board. Clearly, Davis accepts by major. I believe I read that UC schools donât accept by major.
Question, if waitlisted, any benefit accepting waitlist spot and submitting 200-word essay now vs closer to 4/15 deadline?
@SBmom1989: Each UC admits differently so here is how UCD admits Freshman. If you want to know about the rest of the UCâs, I can PM the information to you.
I would submit the essay as soon as possible to show that you have a real interest in UCD.
UCD:
Admission decisions are made based upon the qualifications of the applicant pool and the number of available spaces within each academic area:
⢠College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences admits by college
⢠College of Biological Sciences admits by college
⢠College of Letters and Science admits by division within the college
⢠(Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies; Mathematics and Physical Sciences; Social Sciences)
⢠College of Engineering admits by academic department
Students applying as âundeclaredâ or âundeclared/exploratoryâ are considered within the college/division to which they applied.

Really bummed about the rejection but I want to thank UCD for âripping off the bandaidâ all at once unlike SLO which is still dragging things out. Way too painful on that thread!
Also, received rejection e-mail at 4:22. Very quick in my mind. Cal Poly Pomona took 2 days to send acceptance.

@dadfromohio you can certainly accept anywhere else. If UCD clears you off waitlist and you go with UCD instead, youâll lose your deposit most likely with the previous school that you had accepted. That would be the extent of it.
@dadfromohio
For the most part, wait-lists are a polite rejection. Very, very few people get off them in reality.
Having gone through wait-lists last year with my older one, my advice would be to take your sonâs highest choice acceptance, pay the deposit, and set your minds at ease. If he gets off the wait-list and he still wishes to go to UCD, then you forgo the deposit.
You would explain to UCD and the other school when accepting that you deposited, but UCD is a much better option (financially, geographically, etc.) and you need to do what is best for your family. You would not be the first to lose your deposit to do this.
But, donât wait for the acceptance off a wait-list. It is emotionally draining. Further, your chances are very low.
