I got to know that they are going to hang on to waitlist until august due to covid uncertainty of how to bigin the inperson or online at this point they are also not sure.
Looks like this wait will go on a little longer .hopefully they will send out some sort of communication if you would still like to be on the list.
so we still have hope
@Sonia2020 please share how did you get to know that wait list can be until Aug.
@Araucaria got to know through a friend ,but we all will know if we get email from them of this week hopefully
@Sonia2020 & @Araucaria thereâs no way a waitlist can go up to AugustâŠAugust is for registering for classes and such and basically getting ready for the new quarter. Yeah there is a possibility things can be different with COVID but itâs impossible the waitlists can go up to August
@samkr14 quite agree with you. Lets be hopeful and see how things unfold in coming days. As per CC, (with no COVID) even last year, wait list went until about mid June. As we wait, I am sure all have their other plan / SIRs in place by now.
Waitlist wonât go til August. Covid hasnât significantly affected yield.
Thanks for the info. If I may ask, are you an âinsiderâ? If so, any idea whether Samueli (especially CS) has any more opening for in-state?
Any one heard back from freshman instate engineering waitlist yet
I donât understand how no one has gotten off the waitlist for CS. Typically they donât need to use their waitlist for CS because their predicted numbers are correct. However, this year a lot of international kids are taking a gap year and wonât be attending, so shouldnât that open up spots in CS / Samueli?
@petrock123 I think thatâs why they might hang on to the waitlist a little longer and if they do classes online they can enroll more kids .
If u emailed ur Ao just know it did absolutely nothing. My UCLA AO said that AOâs arent directly involved in the waitlist process and we canât do anything but wait.
@Sonia2020 Online classes wonât allow them to enroll more kids. When classes do go back in person (and they eventually will), over enrollment would overwhelm the school. Online classes also still mean there are assignments to grade etc and the teaching man power is still finite.
How do you know that a lot of international kids are taking gap years? UCLA doesnât approve a lot of deferrals. If they were low in CS, they would have gone to the wait list by now. It doesnât look like theyâre low.
What is an âAOâ ?
@JerryMZ191 Admissions Officer
bc of corona a lot of international kids are taking a gap year. they donât wanna risk traveling and all that. thatâs why Iâm surprised that CS spots didnât open up
How did you guys find your AO email? I canât find it on the website
Some of my friends heard back from other UCs last week and today. But we havenât heard of any UCLA Waitlist news in the past two weeks (I think). Itâs just gets less and less hopeful the longer we wait. Sorry to be a Debby downer. WE ALL WANT TO KNOW NOWWWW
Iâm not surprised because CS spots almost never open up. I think the covid effect might have just made their numbers accurate instead of being over-enrolled like most years.
And UCLA doesnât approve a lot of deferrals.
So I guess thats it then. Since no waitlist offers are released on weekends. And someone mentioned here in an earlier post that only transfer students get off the waitlist in June, so no chance now for freshmen. Feeling sad⊠waited so desperately.
