hey man we just said no speculation BOI
I love how we came to a consensus and that person completely undermined it. In fact, @OhWhatsHerName I appreciate your comment, however, as it was mentioned earlier, we will not know until late this month-June. Please stop trying to instill fear in waitlisted students. Thank you!
“no speculation allowed” proceeds to speculate “there is a strong chance”
According to the applying to college subreddit, some people who got rejected from the other UCs (didn’t apply to santa Cruz) got an email late April from UCSC saying something along the lines of “we are sorry you got rejected from all other UCs. If you’d still like a UC education, consider applying to UC Santa Cruz with a late application. We will notify you of your decision in a few days”
They wouldn’t have sent this email out if they were tight on space. In fact, this just shows that they are hungry for more applicants.
Wow. Maybe it was only certain majors?
Could you possibly share the link to that thread? @Tiscollette
my daughter received the letter from UC Merced a few weeks ago, and she had not applied there.
@Tiscollette and @ucstudent2022: The referrals mentioned in post #223 by @vinashana were started last year by UCSC. UCSC targeted International and OOS applicants that applied to the UC’s which were not admitted to any of their choice UC’s but offered a possible spot by submitting a late application. The UC’s capped the # of OOS/International applicants but UC’s like UCSC have not reached their capped limit of 18% so they are targeting these student populations unfortunately at the expense of in-state students.

Just been offered out of waitlist. (international student)
D just got email saying there have been some waitlist acceptances. However, she has not been offered it yet and they say they will continue accepting.
Just got this email:
Dear _________:
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 2018, 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 no later than early June.
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 early June.
Sincerely,
Blia Yang
Interim Director of Undergraduate Admissions
Was anyone accepted from in-state? I am pretty sure they only accepted OOS and international people, but I am wondering if there are in-state acceptances?
I got that message too. did anyone actually get in??
Hopefully they will do another wave within the next week:
From what I’ve seen so far, it’s only been international or OOS students
D is in state, also received the email today.
Also got that email. It was being sneaky hiding in my promotions tab…
Hopefully there’s more news tomorrow.
Is it email or updated the portal
My D didn’t receive anything and the portal still the same
got the email too
