I just wish they would let us know sooner. The wait prevents us from fully committing to another school. Also hurts the child psychologically because they keep thinking about it.
@jenworld I agree. If students are waiting until so close to the deadline it probably means UCSC isn’t their immediate first choice. There has to be at least some students within the 4200 that have declined, hopefully. Fingers crossed.
What’s worrisome is the calendar entry on the 25th, “Student life email to 30,444 admits” … pretty big number and didn’t see that figure on last year’s calendar.
Maybe they admitted 4k transfer students off the waitlist then because they only admitted 26k on the decision day. Thats worrying
This is all really confusing. Looks like we are just going to have to wait because they most likely will not be admitting until after may 1st so they know how many more they need to attend the school.
@newapplicant101 on the calendar 3/17 it says that they admitted only 1554 transfers. which makes me wonder why they sent 30444 admit emails
Why admit 30444 where the seats are only 5000
They removed the waitlist event from the calendar! Now it is gone! BTW did anyone here hear back yet?
Not a word 
Does anyone think there’s a possibility that it’ll be released at midnight like transfers?
Slim, but hoping for 12 midnight notifications. Did anyone notice whether the calendar changed for the transfer folks on the 24th (ie went blank?!).
Seems like with the high number of invited admits, there won’t be a need for waitlisted folks … sorry to be a downer. This waiting since last week, and with appeals has been absolutely grueling.
Good luck to everyone
If this is helpful at all, my daughter is an admitted student and accepted her SIR. The ‘Student Life Email’ entry on the UCSC calendar was updated at roughly 11 AM with the number of students it was sent to. My daughter did not receive that email until 6:34 PM.
So maybe it is possible that waitlisted applicants will get the email at midnight, considering this time delay it took for my daughter to get todays ‘Student Life Email’? Maybe UCSC removed the ‘Waitlist’ calendar entry to keep the number of spots offered private. Who knows?
@up2something … thank you for sharing your daughter’s status and timing of the “Student Life Email”. Gives a glimmer of hope 
Congratulations to your daughter!!
@SFCA2018 what is the invited admits you were referring to?
@up2something thank you for that!
Im sorry but they would not have removed it off the calendar
@adesperateant on the calendar, April 25th, the 30,444 admits (those that were offered admission)
Looking at April and May 2015 calendar, appears to be what could be happening now? I don’t recall, but no one on the waitlist was admitted, only denials?
DD will SIR to UCR tomorrow.
looks to be that way…hopefully we get good news and SOME are admitted off of the waitlist
Losing hope. Looking at the calendar trends it seems to be following the nobody accepted off waitlist trend.
I thought the years that they said they did not use the waitlist it was never offered. The waitlist was offered but it was just never used for admissions. The calendars from those years match this years. I think it is safe to assume that nobody from the waitlist will be accepted.
