I am not 100% sure but I heard that they do not take many, maybe a few, off of the engineering waitlist bc the yield is pretty high for that certain college :confused:

Unfortunately there is no such thing as “good chance to get off the UCLA waitlist”. Your chances are below 10%, even lower for Engineering.
I hope you like the school you are planning on committing too! Good luck!

does this mean the yield is a lot higher this year since there wasn’t a wave today?

I don’t think it will be tomorrow because transfer admissions come out tm at 5pm, it seems like a lot for them to release in 1 day

Depends on the yield rate. Last year the admit rate off UCLA’s waitlist was 19.22%. It’s higher for out-of-state applicants also.

Do you know what the rate for engineering was for international students?

Everyone here is a little anxious to start seeing people get off the waitlist. I totally understand that. But the first wave was April 28th last year, so it they’re following last year’s pattern then we shouldn’t be too worried just yet. I copied and pasted the schedule of waves that someone commented from that thread here, feel free to screenshot:

-April 15th: Deadline to accept waitlist spot and
submit any information in additional infobox
-April 28th, Tuesday: 1st wave, all O0S and
international, seemed to be all LS
-April 30th, Thursday: 2nd wave, 00S, seemed
to be LS
-May 1st, Friday: 3rd wave, Is, LS
-May 2nd, Saturday: 4th wave, IS and O0S, LS
-May 5th, Tuesday: IS and O0s, LS, and
Samueli
-May 7th, Thursday: unsure, not many people
got off
-May 8th, Friday: small number, only one OOS
person reported getting off
-May 11th, Monday: small number, only one
O0S individual reported getting off
-May 14th, Thursday: 00S and international,
seems to be LS
-May 16th, Saturday: IS, LS
-May 20th, Wednesday: 00S

The rate last year was very low for engineering students. They didn’t have any waves, because only a few people got accepted

Hey, may I ask what do IS and LS stand for?

IS = In State
OOS = Out of State
