My daughter has the nerve to be out with her boyfriend, so I have no idea if she got in. I did see someone with same grades accepted to her alternate major. Anyone hear of people getting accepted to alternate majors?

Thanks. Of course you are right. I revised my post to show CSE.

My post was more about people needing to be specific. I think some parents just have “CS” in their heads and don’t realize that there are 3 majors at Davis that some might conflate.

My son did not apply here but seeing some great kids with amazing stats get waitlisted or denied is very sobering. A prelude to UCLA and UCB coming up

UCD occasionally considers alternate majors but done on a case by case basis.

Son accepted to CS. Takes a little of the sting out of being waitlisted from UChicago.

Waitlisted, in-state Computer Science + Engineering

Got UC Santa Cruz Regents but looks like that wasn’t enough for CS at Davis

Good ECs, 3.91 something UC unweighted and 4.27 weighted UC GPA capped.

Got into UIUC Computer Engineering and Purdue Engineering.

Unfortunately, it looks like it was a mistake for me to apply to Davis as CS+E lol. I wanted to apply CS to at least one campus, and I chose Davis. However, seeing that almost all of my ECs are on the CE/EE side of things, I’m ultimately not surprised in retrospect that I was waitlisted.

Davis was the only school I applied CS to, applied CE to everything else. Here’s to hoping things will be better.

Almost a full ride. Looks like there is a student/family contribution of around $2500/year and yes some students loans and parent plus loans.

This is Davis’ waitlist stats for 2020. Looks like the required 200 word essay dissuades a lot of people from accepting the waitlist.

Really high waitlist acceptance rates.
