This is crazy…offers on May 5th?

UC Berkeley Class of 2026 Waitlist/Appeal Discussion

He might be right, I initially applied to only UCLA and Cal, but somewhere around may 5 I received an email from UCSC and UCR asking me to fill out a small form which asked for my UC application ID and Choice of Major, I ended up getting offers of admission from UCSC and UCR within a week. Just wondering why would they ask students who were not even interested to apply, and end up accepting them while they still have interested candidates on the waitlist!
