UCLA 2023 Waitlist Thread

Has anyone with Business major taken off the waitlist

@Ansun do you mean Business Economics as there is no undergraduate business major at UCLA

I am also wondering if anyone waitlisted for this Business Economics got off the waitlist.

I just got off the waitlist this morning at 8:05 am!!! AHHH I’M SO EXCITED!! I’m in-state and my major is political science

Congrats!!! May I ask if you put anything in the optional essay?

@fiendforpolitics Congrats!!! May I ask if you put anything in the optional essay?

@uclaplsacceptme6 Thank you so much!! I’m hoping for the best for you and the rest of the applicants. So in the optional waitlist essay, I listed my first semester senior grades, described why I love UCLA, and talked about what I plan to do there if accepted.

Anyone on the waitlist undeclared??

Does anyone know if they let you know either way?

My son opted into multiple waiting lists. Unfortunately he was waitlisted by his top 3 choices. Question:
If he happened to get accepted to one of the schools that was not his top choice - would accepting that invitation in any way affect his chances of getting accepted off the waiting list by his top choice school? Did not know if the UC schools communicated with each other. He would not want to turn down an invite from any of the schools if that was the only one to which he was to be accepted. He is an international student very much married to the idea of being in CA for University.
Thanks for any insight you or anyone else could provide! @Gumbymom ?

@axapops: UC’s do not communicate between each other regarding waitlist decisions, so if he is accepted off one waitlist, it will have not effect his chances of getting off the other waitlists. He is free to accept any invites but if has already accepted one school, he would have to withdraw from the original school, lose the enrollment deposit and then accept the waitlisted school’s acceptance. Each time he changes school, he will lose that enrollment deposit.

@Gumbymom Got it. Thanks! Was hoping that was the case. Can’t wait till this process is over!

@Gumbymom do you know if the chances of getting off the waitlist get slimmer the longer UCLA takes to respond?

@Samy123456688: It really depends upon how many of the accepted waitlisted applicants submit their SIR or turn down their spots. The longer the wait, yes the slimmer the chances.

losing hope as an engineering major ):

I think its time I move on tbh…

Is it over?

I’m losing hope guys, does anyone have anything to say that will make us feel better? Did anyone talk to admissions officers or ask?

I got accepted off the waitlist today for college of letters and science. I’m an in state student. Don’t lose hope, everyone! It’s not over yet! ??

@moochew CONGRATSSS!!! Glad to see an instate get in! What major did you get in for? And did you do the optional essay?
