@WongIV Where? I still don’t see the waitlist button

@DreamerOfLight that’s awesome you got into SLO though! I cried for days when they rejected me:( I’m waiting on irvine too!

@baedrillaurd check under application status and info. A screen with a little check box should be there asking if you would like to be placed on the waitlist.

This is weird, I’m S but my Acceptance has already showed up

I still can’t see accept waitlist button or link.

Hm, strange I still can’t seem to find it. I guess I’ll just wait until tomorrow and call them worst case.

waitlisted. 3.25 UC GPA, 1340 new SAT, good essays, virtually no EC except baseball. Can’t find accept link for waitlist although I see someone above says it popped up. Anyone?? very excited since my top choice

Daughter waitlisted - last name “H”. Also can’t find the accept waitlist button or link. When I click on drop down menu for Application Status and info, there are only two options showing -
View Application Status
Admissions Information Release

LOL I got wait listed?

ACT: 28
Like is this even possible right now?

Ok for those trying to find the accept waitlist button - it wasn’t showing for me in Chrome - I tried logging in on Safari and then it was there. So I suggest trying a different browser.

Info for everyone not admitted, especially relevant to waitlisted applicants, here:

@CAtransplant @cohenapple @restAllgreen llgreen To those who are having problems finding the waitlist thingy, I refreshed the page a few times and then the “Accept Waitlist Offer” option had popped up. Strange that it has not showed up for anyone else yet though. It popped up for me in about 5-10 mins after checking my admissions decision.
