that doesn’t sound right to me; the portal says we should all hear “no later than june 1st.” june 30th seems kinda outrageous… i hope she’s wrong, that would be brutal
Transfer waitlists are notified by June 30. Freshmen waitlists should be notified before June 1st. But I’m not quite sure why she said the first wave was released May 3rd because no one seems to have gotten anything? I haven’t heard that anyone has gotten anything at least.
For at least a couple of weeks the portal actually said: “Thank you for accepting our waitlist offer. Please be patient, as this process may take some time. We will notify you of our final admission decision by email and on this website no later than May 1.” May 1. Which I assumed was obviously a typo? It got corrected eventually to June 1st. So, I’m not sure that whoever updates the portal really knows.
One of the reps that I talk to a lot just told me that she believes the majority of the offers will be made by the end of next Friday. However, she also said that they could go on for a while, but she thinks that they’ll be mostly done by next week. UGHH I just want to know already… this waitlist gives me so much anxiety lol
@princesstzg Do you think they will send out responses starting this week and then be done by next Friday? Or do you think they will send them all out next week?
This is a great opportunity for the UC Davis Admissions representative to give some insight to when and how they will let people know if they are admitted off the wait list. Hopefully they are monitoring these UC Davis CC pages.
At least you guys were on the waitlist and not denied on spot! The wait can be excruciating though sigh
universal55 maybe she doesn’t know the full information on waitlist. I called for appealing about 4 weeks ago and they told me I could submit an essay as long as I wanted. Then when I logged on to my portal it said it must be 350 words or less :S
I honestly don’t know what to think anymore lol everyone says something different each time. However, I trust the admission rep I talk to more than everyone I have talked to because the other people I have talked to on the phone seem to be students and they probably don’t know that much about the waitlist. I pray that most of us hear back tomorrow because I don’t know if I can last another week without knowing 
best wishes to you!
Do the people on the waitlist get notified in any particular order?
i know the numbers change every year but based on college board, last year 83% of the wait listed people got in. i really hope the numbers are similar this year
I swear, if I see the words “Waitlist Confirmation” one more time I will go berserk.
I wonder what’s taking them so long this year. I hope they have some spots open for us.
Glad to see I’m not alone in the process. Currently waitlisted for Civil Engineering. Checked the website and it’s same old same old…Really hope tomorrow is the day
Just called, she said no decisions will be sent today. She also said not as many acceptances as last year
I hope that it’s not by alot…i’m so disappointed by how long this is taking them…maybe they’re waiting for more spots to be open before they start handing out acceptances
That’s so disappointing I was really hoping to hear back today 
I have to concur with what @nickynick1998 said. I called Admissions late yesterday afternoon. I spoke with a young man, who eventually transferred me to his superior. I was told they initially admitted more students this year than last. So the expectation would be for fewer to be admitted from the waitlist. I was also told they hoped to have just one big wave. If that is true, I can see it happening later, rather than earlier. She did confirm that it would be before June 1st, at least. That said, I think all we can do is wait and see. Best of luck to everyone! This is a horrible process, in my opinion. You all deserve to be admitted! And maybe it still happens this afternoon. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
I just called the admissions office at Davis again and an admissions rep told me that decisions would come out anytime from today until June 1st. Another admissions rep also told me that the waitlist decisions would probably come out in batches. If I don’t hear back by next week, I’m going to have a meltdown :(( I just want to know already because I literally graduate next weekend lol
I heard that they don’t send out decisions on weekends, so we might not know until Monday at the very least
