Admitted!!!
Major: Bio/Biochemistry
GPA: 3.7

Waiting: UCLA, UCSD
Accepted: UCI, UCD, UCR, UCM

I guess I was late to this thread… anyways just regret not applying to UCB :C

@quwertyzxcv: The UC’s have a pretty good idea of their yield so they accept more students than actually enroll, so the scholarships are not given to other students since they assume not all will enroll.

@DocCbas Yeah they said that to me too. and everyone probably so either we’re all special apparently or none of us are special lol

I hate myself lmao @queen_ofthenorth. I wanted the regency so bad :confused: and here I thought I had a chance xD

@AeroDE Yes and I think those essays often help students, which is why I think that I (and others) were accepted to UC Berkeley and not UC Davis (last year).

does anyone know if there is gong to be a FB group for davis transfers?

@AeroDE Oh I know. Someone was wondering why they got into Berkeley but not Davis and I was suggesting that perhaps that was why.

Will be attending Davis!

Anyone know anything about waitlist chances? I’m a Political Science major with a 3.237 (after TAU). The major has a low yield rate but I’m not sure that’s a guarantee of anything. My EC’s were pretty decent, I hope that still factors into things somehow. I’m pretty anxious as Davis was my #1 choice but being wait-listed is better than being rejected, I guess.

If you can write a waitlist letter I would. I’m not sure if Davis accepts them.

I did receive a wait-list offer, I’m just not sure about my chances, and I really hope for the best. Here’s what it said, for reference:

“We are pleased to offer you a position on our wait-list because of your exceptional application.” They also require a “200-word statement describing why you would like to attend UC Davis” and an estimate of my spring grades.

I got accepted today.
