@HelloThere12321: They may want to wait until the last minute to make sure they do not end up being overenrolled due to the exceptionally competitive year and it seems many students are still make decisions if you look at all the posts on CC.
When they do notify people will it be by email or portal?
email i think and it says your portal will be updated later
hmm they’ve moved up the date for waitlist acceptances which is understandable but i wonder why they removed waitlist rejections from the calendar
I wonder the same thing. The fact that they were going to release rejections means that they already know who’s going to be rejected but aren’t releasing it. Maybe they realized not many people are attending as they thought? What do you guys think?
The waitlist rejections were never supposed to happen to begin with. If you look at UCSC’s waitlist procedure for the last few years, there are only acceptances from the end of April all the way until the beginning of June. Only after that, they send an email saying anyone who hasn’t been admitted off the waitlist already has been rejected. Just thought I should clear this up.
Despite the larger number of applicants this year I think it is actually a good sign that they still plan to announce some acceptances off the waitlist in April. Shows there is still room to let people in. Otherwise, they would have waited until May 1 to start looking at what their numbers are to notify waitlisters. Crossing my fingers for you all!
Good luck to everyone on the waitlist … fingers crossed that we get good news today!
Do you know at what time they will send it?
Good luck to everyone!
do we know for sure they are sending some out today?
I’ve reached the point of nervousness where I don’t know whether to be sad or excited so I’m just neutrally screaming internally.
Yes there are some 100% coming out today. Probably at around 4
How do you know it’s around 4? i hope it’s sooner!
Because that when their admissions office closes. If they release it around 4 then they won’t have to deal with people angry they didn’t get in.
In previous years it seems that they released it in waves. Would that be the case this year? I guess it depends on how many spaces they have but hopefully today isn’t the only day.
Good luck to everyone!
@adesperateant i don’t think they’re doing waitlist in waves this year. if you look at the calendar for april of last year, they had multiple days in april that were marked “waitlist accept email for frosh” but this year, there seems to be only today.
