Around 2 hours ago. Received the email to the email I signed up with when creating my UCD portal.
@zoomtransfer123 Did your portal status change from pending review to waitlisted?
No, my portal still says pending review.
That is so odd. I thought the acceptances are posted first, then waitlist and rejections last?
Are you sure about that? Last year Davis admitted over 30,000 freshman applicants, I find it hard to believe it would drop to 20% of that. If they were admitting 6400 of 76800 that means their acceptance rate would drop from 40%ish to 8%. I don’t think so
@zoomtransfer123 That almost looks like a pre-admit/waitlist letter. I’m not sure it means you are actually waitlisted at this point.
I think the message said they wanted to ENROLL 6400, so their admissions would be closer to 3x that, no?
@Chungus1234 No, the email says it has space for 6400 students in their freshman class, not that they are admitting that many people. It’s common for colleges to admit more than they have available because they know not everyone will commit. I’m guessing they chose to use the 6400 number rather than their actual admit number because it sound more relieving to know chances are super 8% slim.
Hmm, that is kind of a strange email from a UC. I don’t think I read that as you are definitely waist-listed. Also, they started it by saying “Thank you for your email and your interest in the University of California, Davis.” Had you emailed them and this was in reply? Did you ask them a question about when acceptances will be coming out? Perhaps @Gumbymom can shed some light on this kind of email?
Yes, I had previously sent an email to UC Davis admissions office asking when UC Davis would inform applicants of their application status around 2 weeks ago. I received this email in response today.
So we aren’t hearing tomorrow?that’s a surprise.
Yup, most likely 3/13.
I guess it makes sense that the decisions are being released next week, seeing that for the past two years, the decisions were sent on the second Friday of March. Looks like we will be hearing back on March 13 then. For the sake of my impatience I had really hoped that it would have been tomorrow though.
Wait whaaaa I thought it was 99% coming out tomorrow that doesnt make sense then how did u get ur decision already??? @zoomtransfer123
@Jokes123 I didn’t receive a decision yet, my portal still says “Pending”. I received an email from an admission executive that you can find earlier in this thread.
@zoomtransfer123 That is indeed very strange email. Why did it start with “Thank you for your email and…” Did you send any emails to admission?
To all posters:
-
UC Davis accepted 30,508 Freshman last year out of 78,092 applications. Their goal is a Freshman class of 6400 to enroll. All schools accept far more applicants than spots since many will not matriculate.
-
This is the first year that I have seen this type of email received by @zoomtransfer123. UCD has for the last 7 years posted all their decisions on one day. Not sure what this means and I cannot comment further.
-
Since the email states that decisions will be out next week, then the 3/13 date looks promising.
-
I also agree that this not a decision and @zoomtransfer123 is not waitlisted.
Also a question to @zoomtransfer123, regarding your user name? Are you a Freshman applicant or a Transfer?
@Gumbymom I’m sorry about my username, I created it to maintain anonymity. I’m a freshman applicant as well.
@norcalparent Yes, I emailed UC Davis admissions office two weeks ago asking about when they would release admissions decisions this year.
@zoomtransfer123: You have not been waitlisted, you were just sent an informational email in regards to the # of applicants trying for those coveted spots.
