@hs2020dad per your post #3, @razidazz answered your question of what is SIR in his (her?) post #11: SIR is “Statement of Intent to Register.”
In 2015, 3,400 opt-ins with 500 offered spots does equal 14.7%
In 2019, 7,153 opt-ins from @miichael 's link with 965 offers is 13.5%.
It’s almost like going through the admissions process again with almost the same rate of acceptance as regular admit process. Hope the rate doesn’t go down too much. But in anyway, best of luck to those who have to wait some more.

Thanks for the details. Yes seems like similar acceptance but now the competition is much stronger with everyone went through the previous screening. I guess the selection would be more to do with institutional needs (major may play a role).

I’ve seen comments from last years waitlist thread that UCLA doesn’t accept letters of continued interest, and that all communication should be in that box given through the portal. What kinds of info should we put down in there?

So I just looked at last year’s waitlist thread and noticed that most (if not all) of the acceptances off the waitlist were from the College of Letters and Science. Do they only take applicants from there or do they take it from individual schools as well?

@MedKey0803 . . . it looks like it is HSSEAS and CoL&S as the only ones that have W/Ls. That would seem to be only because these two are the largest colleges/schools on campus and are the toughest with which to fill the freshman class.
Per this link: https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/CC2019/plenary-and-campus-updates.pdf about 1/2 way down in the UCLA section it says:
Stronger waitlist

The rate for acceptance for those who opt into the W/L is 965/7153 or 13.5%.
