Except now Davis are asking WL kids to write an essay telling them why they should come off the WL. Wait… weren’t their grades enough? And the 5 essays they wrote? So frustrated - my other D is a senior at UCD and we love the school but this “write a begging letter and tell us why we should let you in” is the ultimate insult on top of a really difficult year. Any other year, with an SAT of 1480, a 4.2GPA and lots of EC and leadership, she would have got into most UC schools and had her pick.

My son was waitlisted to UCI and UCSC. Denied at Davis. Hoping to get off the waitlist for one. Do UC’s redirect if student is denied to all UCs applied to? @Gumbymom

@UCSDMuiron89 I take it you went to Muir? Tiogo or Tenaya? I did as well. Still missing the Rathskeller food!
It says my financial aid award isn’t available yet… anyone else? Also, how do you know if you got into regents or honors??
Accepted!
International (Russia for those who wonder), tho went to Californian private school for the last 3 years. 4.0UW, 4.20 UC W. TOEFL 120. 770 SAT Chem. I had a really strong EC (like I wrote a published research paper and worked in 2 university labs as an intern, volunteer, school leader and etc).
Was waitlisted by UCSB. Got into Northeastern EA with International scholarship (currently my top choice)

its weird this year, got into sc but waitlisted for uci and ucd and rejected from ucsb
If your son is in the top 9% of his class, he is guaranteed a spot at Merced!

looks like my financial aid award is all there
Thank you.
I’ve never seen the “you have 200 words to beg for your spot off the WL” message before. I too am curious to know if this is typical of other schools.

I know, As if they haven’t had enough reading all the essays the past few months.
Congrats to those who were accepted! For those who did not: This process with the UCs really seems somewhat random and subjective.
