Uci waitlist discussion thread class of 2024

yea wait do people get off the waitlist in waves based on major?

@worriedsenior345 @yyu2002 Not sure, but so far it seems like they were based off of school… not sure if that will change bc now they have final SIR count. so far nobody from School of Social Sciences have gotten off yet, but people from other schools like the School of Social Ecology have.

How about for the School of Biological Science?

I was just looking at UCI’s catalogue of schools.
http://catalogue.uci.edu/thehenrysamuelischoolofengineering/
I found that (per this forum), the school of physical science, school of social ecology, Programs in Public Health, Department of Pharmaceutical sciences, and The Henry Samueli School of Engineering have so far been admitted from the UCI waitlist.

So the rest of us still have some waiting to do :frowning:

I’m wondering what’s holding them up? I get not releasing on the 2nd and 3rd bc it was the weekend, but hopefully we get something today? I’m sure they at least can let some of us off, unless they filled up, which I personally think is very unlikely unless they admitted too many.

@mohsam I’m confused about that too. A lot of other UCs have already sent out a second wave of admits approaching their third. They couldn’t have filled up our Majors yet because no one (at least on this forum) has been admitted for it from the waitlist. Hopefully, we get some admits today (crossing my fingers).

I feel like my brain is melting off a popsicle stick as I wait for waitlist results to come out LOL

Hoping another wave comes out this evening…

I’m just curious, what college did you guys commit to in the meantime?

@worriedSenior345 UCR

Made plans to attend the CC I attended during HS. I got into UCR but not really looking forward to going, so I figured I’d complete my major classes (already got IGETC done) and transfer in Fall 2021 if I don’t get off the waitlist this year.

UCSD

has anyone gotten off for CS?

Just got off of UCSC’s waitlist as undeclared. I wonder why UCI’s taking so long. Also, I applied as Undeclared for UCI. Do people who applied as undeclared have a higher chance of getting in?

Same, just got off UCSC’s waitlist for poli-sci. Hopefully means UCI releases today

Got off UCI bioengineering waitlist last Tuesday 4/28.

Just got off UCSC for Com Sci

UCI’s silence is driving me mad. I don’t mind if I get off with my alternate (Korean Literature. I don’t know what I was thinking during application, should’ve applied for Anthropology like I did everywhere else) or as undeclared. Hopefully the biosci, humanities, and undeclared decisions come out soon. I sent my SIR to Cal State LA in the meantime, but I’m not happy about it.

hoping the 2nd WL wave comes out tmrw :frowning: i’m thinking it’ll be like last time where i waited 5 days after the initial wave to get my decision otl, i’m really tired of being anxious and constantly checking my phone 24/7 ;;;; pls uci let me move on already and lmk if u want me or not LMAO

It’s times like these where I REALLLAYASYFY regret only applying to 5 reach schools and ONLY 1 safety school. I was so certain I’d get into UCLA no problem smh. Only if my delusional past self can see me now… Rlly hoping for 2nd wave soon or I’m going to need to be admitted to a mental hospital.

@ren002 don’t even sweat! the next wave is gonna be the first after the SIR deadline, so likely plenty of open spots. that combined w ppl getting off of waitlists at UCLA and soon Berkeley, there’s probably going to be more open spots.
