Uci waitlist discussion thread class of 2024

Looks like Social Science majors might just have to wait until 5/1 :frowning:

Congrats to everyone who got off the waitlist!! Best of lucks in the future! Everyone else, don’t worry life will take you where it needs you!

Has anyone been accepted from the WL today? (4/29/2020). Also when will decisions for Undeclared major come out?

@leej8532 I have been wondering the same thing! My alternative major is Undeclared and I know for sure I won’t be accepted into my primary major (CS)


@simonh24 Undeclared is my 1st choice (was going to apply for business but I was afraid that I would get rejected so I applied as undeclared). My stats are ACT 30/4.1 UC GPA

It’s possible to get off the waitlist for your secondary major if there isn’t space in your primary major, right? My primary major was Political Science but I had a secondary major set as Social Policy and Public Service. I’d be fine with either one, just wondering if it’s possible to get admitted into the secondary.

UCLA, UCSD, and UCI sent one wave two days ago, nothing yesterday
 UCLA started their next wave this morning? Hoping for another UCI wave today :smile: !

@mohsam Yes! I was told they consider both majors

Hopefully we get another wave with social science majors soon.

When do they typically send? Also, did anyone update the application with LOCI or send another letter of intention to UCI admissions? I understand the law school had a zoom for waitlisted students and would receive one extra document. What about other majors?

Any ICS majors get their decisions yet?

@Anneles I did send a loci through an email, despite then not saying to, and got in from the waitlist two days ago. I don’t know if they looked at it, but it doesn’t seem like it would hurt your chances.

@joshdormaier Did you send it to admissions@uci.edu? Asking for a friend HAHA

@joshdormaier Did you send it to admissions or your major department head? My daughter sent an email to several professors and added admissions asking about a major she is interested in which was important for her to make her final decision and received back basic info about waitlisting from admissions and a professor wonderfully emailed back the information needed. I am now wondering if that can serve as her interest letter to her program
 Due to this shutdown we couldn’t get info so emailed

what major?

I emailed it directly to admissions@uci.edu. My major is applied physics. I think emailing professors could definitely serve as a form of continued interest and it most likely will help.

@joshdormaier Did they send anything back to you? Thank you by the way for your replies.

will you still get an email if you get rejected from the WL?

@leej8532 Yeah you get notified regardless of decision.

So should we still send a LOCI even though it’s not required?
