UCI Waitlist for Class of 2021

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

Hi I was just wondering whether anyone else is on the waitlist? Is everyone just waiting for the results after May or are some people appealing the waitlist?

waitlisted for bio :confused:

3

waitlisted for undeclared

@xcsoccertrack: Not true

UCI Waitlist stats for 2016:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 8366
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 4503
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 835

Information can be found on the common dataset.

@Gumbymom Any idea how many of the 835 enrolled? Many times applicants choose to opt in for the waitlist, but decline admission once notified which may open another spot to get off the waitlist.

6

@uciparent: No, the waitlist info on the common dataset only gives admitted information, not how many actually enrolled.

Thanks, I was suspecting that was the case.

@princesspuffs If you’re willing to share, what was your uc gpa and sat/act ? I’m just curious because we applied for the same major.

16

my son is waitlisted. He had applied for CS but not sure if he is UCI waitlist for CS major or undeclared major

17

@aroraaaa: Most likely if your son is accepted off the waitlist, it will be for Undeclared.

Do you know how you could increase your chances if you were waitlisted like I was?

All i wanna say is that Engineering majors are the last batch to get notified by any UC as seen last year and none of them got accepted for whatever reason. Either people who are getting accepted to Engineering dont have CC accounts or Engineering is always capped and is the last priority on the waitlist after accepting every other major.

BTW I was waitlisted by UCI,UCD, and UCSD for COMPUTER ENGINEERING.
4.1 GPA (3.7 UW) , 1930/2400 SAT , good ecs
