So they only release after 4pm, and woulds the acceptance rate decrease to around 20 % since last year acceptance rate for waitlisted student drop to 37% from 60-80% back in 2016
@Kawai007 it depends on how many students SIR to the school. theres not really a “trend” for how many students are getting in year to year. For 2014-2015, none were admitted off the waitlist and in 2016, it jumped and admitted most students from their waitlist. let’s hope they did not over enroll last year so we have a good shot at getting in this year.
im also concerned that on the calendar, there is no number for how many students are going to be accepted off of the waitlist. if you go back in the calendar to april of 2017, there were specific numbers about how many people were going to get admitted for each of the waves. the fact that theres only one wave today and a blank for the amount of people makes me worried that they aren’t admitting as much as in previous years.
They tend to add numbers after theyve been sent out. Notice in the next month the emails have no number
@adesperateant ohh i see thanks for that. i didnt look into next month. fingers crossed there will be lots of acceptances today
ashaswizzle so last year they just over enroll, but if that didnt happen, then the acceptance will be around 70 %
I’m even more nervous now
@Kawai007 it depends. over enrollment and how many students SIR are two factors that contribute to how many people get off the waitlist. There’s no guarantee that the acceptance will be 70% or 50% or even 10%. There’s no way to know.
Good luck to everyone!
looking at last years Wait list data from the calendar, over 40% were accepted and only 507 were Admitted.

Right. But they also spread out the acceptance mainly between the 21st and the 25th. This yeas, as far as we know, we only have the 25th. So maybe somewhere between 4,000 to 5,000 today’s?
I’m optimistic there will be more than one wave of acceptances. I’m guessing a date for the 2nd waitlist is not on the calendar yet since UCSC needs to plan ahead and first get a feel of how today winds up going - I think acceptees get one week to SIR? UCR had not provided a clear place to decline, so after May 1 there could be a whole new group of openings (when those who wanted to decline don’t submit SIR). It’s one big domino effect. UCSC and other schools will benefit.
Will we get a notification if we don’t get in this round?
every year could be different, but going by this years waitlist: 5,753. this year acceptance should be 20-30%.

Can a waitlisted student be admitted as undeclared if there isn’t room in their major?
