<p>the waitlisters hve a pretty good chance of getting after everyone sends in their SIR and their differs to attend. so once they know how much room they have theyll start to have a better idea of when they can admitt the waitlisters. the only thing is… we dont know how many waitlisters there are… my guess is that its some where in the 500-600 range which is much more almost double that of waitlisters last year. i’ll ask our friend what type of info she can give me on that and then i’ll be sure to share what i can withh you guys</p>
<p>thanks for the quick response, so i was thinking of appealing the waitlist… do you think this would have a difference?</p>
<p>How would they choose from the waitlist who gets in?</p>
<p>appeal the waitlist?? im not sure what you mean? well when they select the next best waitlisters it is based on a point system and depending on how far you are away from the next on list.you know? actually you should probably call tommorow and ask.</p>
<p>well, some of my friends are not gunna send in a rejection cuz perhaps they dunno how, but not accepting by May 1st counts as an rejection right? so their spot could go to waitlisters. dumb question but theres not a chance that a person can give their spot to a waitlister, can they?</p>
<p>hahhahahhahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahaha… that would be the best thing ever! but no it doesnt work like that.</p>
<p>so, do ppl who jus do not accept, their spots will go to waitlisters right? like theyre not jus counting the rejections?</p>
<p>not necissarily… you still have to consider all the transfer applicants… the waitlisters are very last.</p>
<p>bballplyrref: any word on the number that accepted the waitlist yet?</p>
<p>well i know they offered the waitlist option to some 400+ students but not sure how many accepted the waitlist… i would say dont count on being notified of any news until like late may earlyy june at the earliest… and by tht time you may have already picked another school soo. i think it would honestly be less stressful if you ruled out uci so you wont have to worry about everything you knw?</p>
<p>yea… have my eyes on csu long beach right now. i guess its better to be a shark among fishes!</p>
<p>yes exactly… its way too crzy in the ucs to be waiting it out for uci… plus in the past ive heard that sometimes they dont notify if you got in until a couple months possibly a couple weeks before school starts</p>
<p>^so the May 15 deadline they told us that were wait listed is a lie? :[</p>
<p>honestly… they may have said that but last year. people werent really notified until mayish time</p>
<p>I heard it was about the same dates last year too. They would release from May 1 - May 15 so the wait listed people could make their decisions and not be too late for housing. Hopefully it is the case this year.</p>
<p>Funny reading bballplyrref’s comments because you can tell he’s totally making facts up. If I had any advice for waitlisters, I would be to wait for the decision, and not waste your time reading comments that make no sense.</p>
<p>paperthin:
im not forcing anyone to believe me. im trying to help people. plus if you think im making these things up then you can search the threads from last year and find out what happened to them when they were on the waitlist.</p>
<p>ohh yea and btw… you just try and call the admissions counselors yourselves and see how much of a definative response from them. go ahead ask about about their stats and see what they tell you about their “waitlist numbers”. see what they say if they say anything. pshh and im making this up??? you’ll see in the end who is right about all this</p>
<p>no, don’t accept ur SIR. i’m a waitlister and i’m praying everyday for more and more ppl to reject so that i can rly go there. i know theres stuff on this forum that might not be true but its good to hope rather than just sitting around fidgeting my fingers and waiting for May 15. but nice catch on bballplyrref tho</p>
<p>paperthin: </p>
<p>bro, you have some sort of power trip or something. im in the same boat as everyone else so why would i tell thm something wrong and then the opposite end up happening?? sounds illogical right? yea thats cuz it is? you know what im not even gona come on this CC bs. good luck to the legit waitlisters! stay strong and committed in w/e you guys purse…! </p>
<p>and to you paperthin i hope you do go to irvine as well as me! i kill degradation with magnimity!</p>
