I just got my waitlist decision back today. When do they notify you of their waitlist decision?
@Tridde: Usually Waitlist decisions will start posting after the May 1 SIR date since UCR needs to figure out if there will be any spots available.
I got waitlisted, what can I do in the mean time to help my circumstance?
@Faith108: There is nothing you can do to help your circumstance unless you have a valid reason for an appeal.
Thank you
Would it be valid if your gpa raised 0.2 (3.5 → 3.7) and have 2 jobs now (One related to my major) and am involved in more extracurriculars?
@nr545ryan: This is the standard policy for appeals. You can try to I would not bank on it.
UC’s do not set aside space in our class for students who appeal admission decisions. Therefore, though all appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, the number of decisions reversed on appeal is very low. We advise you to consider the following carefully before you decide to draft an appeal. Every denied application has gone through extensive reviews. Therefore, for an appeal to have merit it must bring to light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances, that had not been present in the application—information that clearly shows the student to be stronger than had been earlier evidenced. High grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards, or an increase in activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.
@Gumbymom I got my financial reward packet via email and was wondering if thats a good sign that I’ll get off the waitlist.
@mongols15: Getting FA package is not indicative of an acceptance. Admissions and the Financial aid office work independently.
I just had my son decline his admission today, so a spot will be available.
@ohchad god bless your sons soul
If you get admitted from the waitlist, can you still choose your roommates?
Also, what should you do about the final transcripts? My school stops final transcripts on 5/31.
I got admitted off the waitlist last year, so hopefully I can help. You should have no problem choosing your roommates since you actually choose them two+ months from now. Also, if you want to find a roommate on the facebook group people tend to procrastinate, even those who got admitted regularly, so you will be good! If I were you, I would ask your school to give you an official transcript just in case. You can mail that to ucr on your own if your school is unable to. Normally, high school offices are open in the summer so that could be another option.
@chubbylemons when did you hear back from ucr when you got off the waitlist?
I heard back on May 10th
has anyone heard back from the waitlist yet?
I haven’t heard from them yet, it seems I keep constantly checking my portal to see if it has been updated but no luck yet
I called the admissions office and the counselor said that waitlist admissions already started coming out, but so far nobody has received anything??
Anyone got acceptance email from wait list?
