@dhbruin thanks for your reply. But make sure that your UCSD housing deadline is also extended since the application is due May 8 just in case your son does not get a UCLA offer.
Since UCLA is rolling out waitlist decisons today, any idea if there will be another set of decisions that come out today?
I donāt think theyāll release two waves in a day
@samkr14 its possible but more likely for an actual āwaveā to occur tmrw. i could be wrong
@hotdogwaitlist thank you for pointing out the housing deadline. I had no idea. This entire process from the application process to now making decisions in light of COVID is crazy.
@mynameisjeffy @doonglover Iām also waitlisted for CSE at Samueli. Why are there so many of us? Do they usually waitlist many CS majors because of its popularity? Damn I hope at least one of us gets in.
@mynameisjeffy @doonglover @Dan2elCh5 if any of you fellow Samueli kids get in tomorrow, let me know! iām an aerospace engineer major and iām so nervous for tomorrow. Iām sure yāall will get in, people on CC are hella smart
@WaitlistBoy from what I found before the virus, waitlists arenāt ranked because schools pull from the waitlist based off demographics, like if they need more band players, more people of a certain race, more people from a certain area/place for stats etc. The waitlist is so the school can have the right number of every kind of student they need, buy I could be wrong. Also, with Corona, theyāll probably pull off people who will pay full tuition instead, so the demographic thing might not matter anymore
@chanimalnam I took up almost all the characters and Iām in state
uh i literally got like 3 Bs my senior first semester and got off the waiting list lmao
@sbahl08 Ah thank you for the reassurance T_T Iām keeping my fingers crossed
guys no one instate got off the waitlist and good luck to all my homies on the waitlist we got this?
According to a reddit post, apparently someoneās aunt is an AO and she said the latest you will hear back from a waitlist or appeal is May 8th. Not sure how true that is.
@DavidKinSac . . . thanks for the article.
Let me requote the part you did about UCLA in the link you provided:
If I might try to read between the linesā¦
Re the first paragraph and Mrs. Copeland-Morganās statements , this is still major speculation as to the number that wonāt return; it might be a lot or it might be little. It undoubtedly depends on whether the visa problems exist for certain countries, specifically the Peopleās Republic of China, because they supply the most International students of any country by far to US colleges. But if the online instruction persists relative to the duration of visa grants, could they still stay enrolled?
I donāt think the second paragraph follows from the first: that they have to make up an enrollment loss of Internationals by taking even more freshmen and transfers this year. UCLA was planning to take more freshmen this year anyway, 6,300+ compared to last year, 5,920.
Hereās a link to apps. last year compared to this year:
https://dailybruin.com/2020/02/07/ucla-sees-drop-in-freshman-but-increase-in-transfer-applications/
And also from UCLA admissions:
https://dailybruin.com/2020/02/07/ucla-sees-drop-in-freshman-but-increase-in-transfer-applications/
Iāll use the Daily Bruin articleās numbers for the applications from last to this year.
Let me put it in matrix form:
ā¦Yearā¦Appsā¦Accept., A/R Rateā¦Enrolled, Yield
ā¦2019ā¦111,266ā¦13,720, 12.3%ā¦5,920, 43.2%
ā¦2020ā¦108,837ā¦14,149, 13.0%ā¦6,300, 44.5%
- As things stand at present per second paragraph, using the A/R rate per the article and intended enrollment. The A/R will rise depending on how many they have to accept off of W/Ls, but as of now its 13% per quote. This would mean that the yield at present is 44.5%, but that will go down depending on W/L acceptances and those who enroll from it. The enrollment target was also quoted as "a bit more than 6,300 spots," from rejection letters sent to applicants.
The yields, again, for each geographic cohort from 2019 were:
In-state, 53%
International, 35%
OOS, 25%
So if admissions is stepping up OOS students in lieu of International, theyāll have to offer more of them relative to Internationals. But part of the WL process is trying to determine interest, even if it isnāt labeled as such, so the yield for OOS off of WL will undoubtedly be much higher than 25%.
I still think there is a large engineering/CS push in the works, but maybe engineering prospectives are SIRāing at greater numbers flowing from the increase in yield of in-state applicants.
Not sure if this is all I wanted to address, but Iāll add more later if I think of something.
Hi can someone put the reddit link for waitlist 2024ā¦I canāt seem to find it
@samkr14 I am pretty sure that is not true. IF you look at ucla waitlist 2023 thread last year, people got off after may 8th. So maybe checking that?
If the initial enroll rate is same as last year (~36%) then there are 1190 seats available in the waiting list. If the inital acceptance rate is the same as last year (~4.5%), then the available seats are 1485. Disclaimer - This is just my own math.
So just to verify, no IS students have been admitted off the waitlist right?
Is there anyone in the waitlist of physical science got in? I just feel most of people around me who are admitted from wl are in LS?
@chanimalnam Ya thatās what I was thinking too
@ceo of waitlist nope no one has been admitted of the waitlist for IS yet.
