Nope. Looks like we are destined to wait until June 
Students from the last UCSD wave have until 6/2 to SIR, so admissions may be waiting to see how that affects enrollment. The only thing that makes me nervous is the housing situation.

so, even if freshmen get off the waitlist, they are not guarenteed housing for their first year if they decide to go?
Santa Cruz is the only UC to not go to their waitlist yet. Thereâs no way they are âjust waiting to go all at onceâ - the longer a campus waits, the lower the number of takers (and Santa Cruz already had a low yield from their waitlist judging by previous years.)
My student has 100% moved on and wouldnât say yes now, even though it has been their overwhelming first choice for 2 years. The school they chose is better in almost every way on paper. Their heart was with Santa Cruz, and the past month has helped them think with their head.
I think itâs clear that Santa Cruz is full. Thereâs no strategic reason for them to wait this long. I think if they go, it will only be because other waitlists have finally taken enough from them to make them use theirs, and it will be a small amount.

If theyâre not going to be accepting from the waitlist, wouldnât they be sending rejections now?

Wish they would instead of stringing people along.
If they donât send anything out next week (after receiving the final count on which admits are accepting housing and actually staying at UCSC) then it means @Yarnie is right⊠they most likely donât have any spots left. If they had enough spots they wouldâve released a wave by now .

In the recent Berkeley case with its neighbors, UCB mentions about the work around to admit more students while not over the max enrollment limited (by admiring more online and spring semester). If all the UCs has that so called the âmax enrollment limitâ , wouldnât that mean (transfer + freshman + continue enrollment = max enrollment limit)? Then it results as transfer and freshman are competing for available seats. Because âtheoreticallyâ a lot of students in high school class of 2020 chose to attend CC, as a result this year transfer class is expected to be bigger. Could all these be the reasons why seemingly more students are put into waitlist so UCs can wait to see what their transfer student size are, before âreallyâ admitting freshman. In other words, UCSC (or UCs in general) is actually wait for the transferâs SIR deadline (6/1) before they know how many to admit to the freshman class?

How late?
Iâve only read through last yearâs waitlist discussion since thats what I thought might look similar to this yearâs. They had waitlist waves in May and beginning of June. Then some rejections in end of July. Some people probably didnât report if they got off waitlist, though, so there were probably people who got off later.

I heard UCs took in fewer students this year. Doesnât that mean they should accept more off the waitlist theoretically?
Not necessarily especially if they were over enrolled last year. All the UCâs are being cautious with admits this year.
Anyone get anything today?

I find myself justifying why we havenât heard any news yet. This weekâs version: Thursday is the SIR date for UCSDâs last wave, and a few more were offered spots in UCLA.
Itâs getting harder to be hopeful though

how do u know itâs UCSDâs last wave?
There were postings about it a week ago 
oh they said itâs the final one?
No, just that more people were accepted. Some did receive WL rejections while others remain on the UCSD waitlist (like my daughter)
When I said âlastâ, I just meant their latest offers
