*****UCI Class of 2020 Waitlist****

I wish they can extend it at least I still got some hope…

I think if they haven’t told us anything by now and will tell us something on june 1st, i hope there not saving rejections for last…

@barca1010 Well in that reddit thread, one post said that every STEM major he knows is waitlisted. Also the OP said that admissions did say that no major was impacted.

It’s May 30 and still no news. Did any engineering or STEM major beside biology hear back? Was that the end of waitlist? We are supposed to hear back by tommorow but at this point, I give up. Unless they decide to move the waitlist into the summer because the admissions office DID say none of the majors were impacted

This is what they told me (asked on the 26th):
We are not officially done with the waitlist. We don’t have a specific date that we
would be done with the waitlist either.

I think they’re gonna release a branch of rejection tomorrow? Idk, just stop torturing me [-O<

Alright, I finally received a message back from admissions and it’s not looking too bright:
“Unfortunately there will be few admits from the waitlist - into any major. All decisions should be out shortly.”
I asked specifically for the CS major if anyone was wondering. Looks like it’s time for me to get off the UCI hope boat and start looking into housing at UCR

@swagdonutsya Same. I’m all updated and set for UCR already anyways haha.

Honestly everytime I call them, I seem to get a different answer. One person said the waitlist will extend into summer, other said we will definitely hear back by June 1st, not sure yet and etc. All we can do is wait but I haven’t been rejected yet so I’ll just play the waiting game again.

@TaterCrisps I’m with you man, all the admissions do indeed say different things and none is probably a reliable resource for answers. Most other UCs such as UCSD and UCB is still waiting for their waitlist so hopefully we all get to know soon.

@swagdonutsya I think “UCI hope boat” encompasses the last 2 months of my life.

So UCI is still accepting from the waitlist? For all majors or just specific ones? By when do we estimate the waitlist accepting will be over?

@poteto lucky, i was confident I wasn’t going to UCR so i didnt accept the honors college, SIR on the very last day possible, signed up for orientation on the last day and got the last date, and haven’t even started browsing for housing. It’s all on me for being stupid

So is 6/1 but my portal still didn’t show anything.

Patience is a virtue for the waitlist is the biggest test of patience one can endure…

Game over, move on don’t wasted your time!!! :bz :bz

Still no news. I knew UCI lags but come on lol. Anyways let’s see how it turns out! Hope for the best! :smiley:

If they don’t want me just send me a rejection or something, but now my portal still show that I’m in the waitlist, is that mean they extending the waitlist to summer or what?

It’s mean you just wait …untill someone didn’t show-up :((

I called earlier today and they said they were backed up and, in their words, “they hope to be done by the end of the 2nd week of June.” They also claimed that major does not impact waitlist admission.
