Uci waitlist discussion thread class of 2024

@DaniM7 You could but it could also have a chance to lower your chances for not following the correct waitlist process.

@Null24 I don’t think it’ll have any chance of lowering chance of admission.

@mohsam Even still, wouldn’t it be too late to send one?

I mean I guess in their FAQ it just says a LOCI is not required so could send one and see what happens

@Anneles When I sent it, they sent me an email with just the standard waitlist information that’s posted on the applicant portal as a response. I figured since it said loci isn’t required, but didn’t say it isn’t allowed, sending one wouldn’t really hurt.

@joshdormaier Yeah same thing happened to me. I figured it’s probably a bot and it tagged the word “waitlist” and just sent the FAQ by default.

UCSD hasn’t released anything :frowning: Seems like the pattern isn’t what I thought it would be HAHA. Hopefully we get another wave soon tho

UCSD had its last wave a few days ago I believe.

Hi everyone,

I was admitted into UCI off the waitlist a few days ago and I know how some of you are concerned and still waiting on a response. I am here to give you some hope haha.
My stats are very average:

3.6 W GPA
1140 SAT
8 ECs
Club founder
Around 200+ community service hours
Decent essays

Though, I was admitted with my alternate major, which I have come to notice has been done quite a lot this year. I was accepted into Civil Engineering rather than Urban Studies which was my first choice. Good luck to you all, and remember that what’s meant to be will be!

Do you think there’s a chance of another IS wave today or will we likely have to wait a few more days?

@zoeh1322 Hopefully today, but wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of us get off anytime between today and the 5th.

Any ICS majors get off?

at this point i think it’s safe to say they’re coming out tomorrow, assuming they release on weekends.

Actually getting pressed now… UCLA released probably their entire in-state waitlist today HAHA and UCI is just cricket noises

Are they gonna release any decisions on the weekend? Or we have to wait until May 4th… That sucks…

@henrynvn Hopefully this weekend… UCLA and a bunch of other colleges have released today, so it’s not completely unprecedented for colleges to release waitlist decisions on weekends.

I know not everything is about prestige but how would you guys say LMU is compared to UCI

To everyone who got off of the waitlist a few days ago: what was the deadline they set for you guys to enroll? Just dawned on me that we’ll probably see another wave of decisions after that deadline passes as there will be more spots.

I saw people say they have until May 7th to decide

Has anyone been admitted from the Waitlist for Bio Sci yet?

Also, are the waves of waitlist admits for specific majors. For ex. poli sci majors are admitted from waitlist in the first wave, bio sci on the second wave?
