I guess he meant since the initial number of accepted students back in March was much fewer than usual, hence the number of SIRed students signing up for housing was also less than expected. In the past, the initial accepted group would fill up most of the housing availability, with very limited spaces for the waitlist group. This year, the distribution has shifted where the initial group has left more spaces for the wl group. The “under-enrolled” was just referring to the time after the March acceptance group but will be filling up eventually by the wl.
Based on what he sees, you will be ok if you’re turning in the housing app now. There is always a latency between the housing app and getting off waitlist notification so I don’t know whether the enrollment is filled or not.
Scanning through the different threads, it looks like none of the UCs had any meaningful movement off the WL except for Davis.
Luckily we didn’t need to wait for our UCI and UCSD waitlists, and I cannot imagine the frustration of those still waiting. The UCs are just too competitive.
Even UCD’s waitlist has been slow in comparison to other years. It is really hard to gauge since not all students post to social media about their waitlist results. Best of luck to all that are still waiting.
