Don’t worry folks. It’s not the end of the world. Maybe it’s for the better. I already enrolled at the local community college and looking at transfer programs. Opens great opportunities if we are willing to work hard. All the very best :+1::+1::+1::+1:

Got a reply from admissions counselor saying at this point in the admission cycle they recommend applicants to accept offer else where or reapply for future terms.

I just got admitted but with a catch. I have to choose another major from the open departments. i applied as CS with an alternate in DS.

150

So what are your options?

151

I’m sticking with SJSU but the majors available are chem, physics, earth sciences, env sci, geology, or geophysics

gl everyone!

Yeah, same here. DS already SIR-ed to UCLA. But, given alternate major choices at UCR. Couldn’t cancel app on time, so we got timed out. Same choices are available as you. Good luck at SJSU.

@Gumbymom , I’m currently still on the waitlist, is it a good or bad thing to be on the waitlist this long?

155

Good or Bad depends upon the person. If you are willing to accept an offer of admission this late in the game, then it is good. Bad only if you are still waiting for an offer from UCR and you are not fully invested in the school you have SIR’d which is a sure thing.

Love the school that loves you back.

156

Thanks Gumbymom

157

this year has just been so weird with the waitlist shenanigans

158

I got an email saying I’ll be offered admission if I change my major to an open major. Is this guaranteed admission or?

159

Sounds like a guaranteed offer. You could always contact UCR to confirm.

160

Has anyone been rejected from the waitlist? or are they just keeping everyone on until school starts to reject people?

161

dont think Ive seen anyone yet
