Waitlisted with 4.7 weighted GPA and 3.86 unweighted GPA and a 2000 SAT. Does my major affect my chances? I was waitlisted for math, but ultimately want to go into bio or public health sciences. Should I contact the admission admissions to change to bio or no?
accepted: CSULB, CSUSD, Cal Poly SLO, CSUN, UCSC
rejected: ucsb, ucla
waitlisted: uci
major is film
probably going to long beach if I don’t get in and if my parents don’t force me into cal poly
I’m wondering the same as well…waitlisted as CS. I hope they don’t release decisions based on majors again. I don’t mind being accepted undeclared.
When did you appeal and how? Email? Mail? And who/where did you send it to?
Does UCI accept any letter of interests or anything else for waitlist applicants?
Does anyone know if we can appeal if we are waitlisted?
@jaella12: Yes you can for UCI.
Can a student who was waitlisted appeal their admission decision?
For freshman students:
Berkeley, Davis, Los Angeles and San Diego will only allow appeals from students who were denied admission. Applicants offered a waitlist space may not appeal.
Irvine and Riverside will allow waitlisted applicants to appeal only if they opt-in to the waitlist. If a student’s appeal is denied, they may remain on the waitlist.
Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz will review all appeals, whether an applicant is on the waitlist or not.
Merced is not using a waitlist.
Can we type our letter of appeal?
We just need transcript and letter of appeal right?
@KeepItCool I think you have to type it. And yes u need transcript and ur letter and you can also add supporting documents
Usually, how long are the letters? (Mine’s half a page)

did anyone get in yet? i know its before may but last year a few people actually got off on 4/22 and stuff(it’s quite rare though)
also i heard santa cruz released some waitlist acceptances yesterday
A lot of people got off the waitlist for Santa Cruz yesterday, I just hope we all get into Irvine!
@KollegeBoundd just a note: you can’t tag UCI for biz admin–way to competitive
There is the option to do UCI Honors to Honors but even that is not a guarantee so I would recommend a backup major (maybe biz econ? 
which is what my major is lol)
There is also Transfer Admissions Priority for UCLA but biz econ is just so competitive 
I’m still waiting on UCdeLAy’s verdict on Wednesday lol
so keep your grades up!
Accepted: UCR
Denied: UCSB
Waitlist: UCI
major: Anthropology
GPA: 3.04
GPA seems low to get accepted to UCR and waitlisted at UCI. Did you score high on the SAT or ACT and what were your scores?
Just know that there is a chance to get off the waitlist and get into a capped major.
My friends brother who got waitlisted to UCSD and UCD for biology got in for his major just last year with a 4.2 gpa and 32 ACT.
