Yes, all schools encourage applicants to accept admission at another school since wait list results may not be released until after the May 1 SIR deadline.
See the waitlist discussion I posted.
Since UCSC has started posting their decisions, I have started the Waitlist/Appeal discussion.
Remember that for the Waitlist, the # admitted varies from year to year.
Once all waitlist activities have concluded, students not offered admission from the waitlist will receive a final decision and may submit an appeal at that time. In addition, there is no appeal to be invited to join or be admitted from the waitlist.
