UC Davis Transfer 2015 Waitlist Thread

Has anyone gotten their admittance packet in the mail yet? I still haven’t received one in the mail box. I have completed all the pre-orientation “tasks” already, but it still is nice to see the “big envelope” -

computer science major, still waiting, anybody heard form cs major?

@faby9467 did you hear anything yet ?

@chocoPie99 hey, did you hear anything from CS major?

@faby9467 nope. I’m still waiting

Spoke to UCD admissions today and was told that they will release another batch on the last week of June.

@yuli0813
Is this real life? The rest of us wont hear until the end of June???
Oh lawd

@chocopie99 i dont think they are realeasing by major because a variety of departments have heard back.
@severin @EthiopianGuy i dont think the people who answer the phone in admissions at davis know as much as we think they’d know or are allowed to release as much as we’d want them to. i have gotten different answers from them everytime i have called, with the same questions. i feel that they want to give us answers so we can feel at peace but really dont know much at all.

if i could take any guess at this point, i think they reevaluated each waitlisted applicant and put them in groups at the beginning in rank. the first wave was top priority, first come off of waitlist. i think the first to hear back were the most competitive. based off of their responses, they will begin to offer positions to others out of the next group also depending on open spots for certain majors.

honestly who even knows anymore when they are releasing offers lol

Checking in to see if anyone else has heard from admissions yet. Hope you all get good news soon - I was looking at some other years’ threads (not so much 2014’s, because so few got off the waitlist), and it seems they usually release a whole lot of notifications around mid-month. Probably because by that time those in the first wave will have had to SIR or not (the one week decision period is up), and more spaces might come open.

I think @roslyn is absolutely right. I have also called admissions multiple times and gotten different answers to the same questions. The last time I called (yesterday) they said that they have no idea when more acceptances will be released. I think it will be at any time at this point.

@EthiopianGuy no haven’t hear anything. :frowning:

@DavisCowsRule: I havent gotten my admittance packet yet! Have you? :o

Don’t give up hope yet guys! I called the person and they said around the 17th they will release more admittances! Good luck to you all! :slight_smile:

@penguinluver No packet yet…Maybe they will send them after all the admittance notifications are finished in one big mailing? I’m ready for orientation, so technically the packet is not necessary - but it would be nice to have nonetheless. I think more notifications will go out on the 17th, too. We heard on the 3rd, a Wednesday, and the 17th is Wednesday.

My boyfriend just got an email saying he’s accepted as an Economics major!!! Good luck to you all if you’re still waiting!!

this is honestly so painful… it would be nice if all remaining decisions could be released today. apparently the uc system wants to enroll 500-600 more this fall off of the transfer waitlist, but that would only mean a little less than 100 more for davis. good luck to everyone, especially those whose first choice is davis.

talked to admissions just right now and they said there is no wave to come out today to her knowledge and that they weren’t sure if there was going to be another wave. she sounded clueless. i even asked her if she knew how waitlist decisions are being made and she said they were random lol.

Anybody heard from CS department? ?

I still haven’t heard anything from the CS Department… I’m starting to loose hope. Davis is my top and only UC. Pray for me ya’ll lol.

Waiting to hear from CS department :frowning:

My older brother has been in UCD’s ECE department since his freshman year, and now is in the Computer Science PhD program. He says the engineering program is very impacted right now (even the L&S major), and that is probably why you are all having to wait so long to hear. If you are determined to be in UCD’s CS program, and do not get an admission offer, maybe a TAG for UCD in September for 2016 is a possibility. Hope you all get good news soon!
