@logic301 did u appeal?
Yes, she did.
@Ri5004 yes I did
I was waitlisted from UCSC and got this message earlier today
“I wanted to update you on your status as a student who accepted UCSC’s waitlist offer. Earlier today we offered some waitlisted students admission for fall 2017, and while you were not among that group, it most likely won’t be the only offers of admission we’ll be granting from the waitlist.
I know this can be an anxious time, and we appreciate your patience while we continue to closely monitor the number of students accepting their offers of admission. If it appears we still have space in our entering class, we will make more offers of admission from the waitlist, including offers after the May 1 National Candidates’ Reply Deadline. We again encourage you to accept an offer of admission from another college/university to which you’ve been admitted by that deadline.
If you are admitted from our waitlist, know that the Office of Admissions works closely with the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. For those students who applied for financial aid, the Financial Aid Office usually posts awards within 3-5 days of the offer of admission being made.
Thank you again for your patience. We will update you on your status as soon as possible, but no later than mid-June.”
Last year a ton of students got off the waitlist (80% of them, including my sister). My sister however, said she never got this email and was taken off the waitlist in April. Are my chances of getting into UCSC basically nonexistent at this point? Also is there anything I can do at this point? I already sent a LOCI last month but the response they gave seemed like they didn’t even read it It sucks because she has a lower GPA and way lower SAT score…
[I am on the waitlist and I also sent in a letter of appeal]
Today I received a “waitlist status update” email and it had said that I was not offered admission from the waitlist today, but that I am still on it. Two kids at my school received “Appeal Response” emails today and got accepted. Do you think my appeal was denied or do you think my appeal response just hasn’t been sent to me yet?
@ethioqueen Still have hope! Last year some people had to wait until the end of May to get accepted
I got off waitlist today at 4:56 PM. E-mail says that my status will change by tomorrow. Keep having faith you guys!
