My guess is that the yield for in-state students is significantly higher than for OOS. So they have fewer gaps to fill for in-state, hence lesser need to go to the WL.

@Gumbymom @10s4life Is it unusual for so few in-state L&S students to have been taken off the waitlist by May 31, or is this par for the course?

There is nothing âunusualâ or usual regarding waitlist admits this year vs. other years, since it can vary greatly from year to year. @DadOfJerseyGirl has pointed out that in-state admit yield rate is higher than OOS and International so there can be more spots available for these type of applicants which is consistent with the admitted posts in this discussion.
There is historical data regarding the yield rates using this link and I have listed the yield rates from last years admits below. Undergraduate admissions summary | University of California
UCLA
In-state CA admit yield rate for 2021: 54%
OOS admit yield rate for 2021: 29%
International admit yield rate for 2021: 35%

waitlists in 3 adjectives (not only this one but for all):
âdemoralizingâ
ânail-bitingâ
âyearningâ

I see that it is higher but it doesnât really explain why there are so little in-state acceptances, especially for L&S because apparently it will be where most are accepted to (and hopefully some more college of engineering because, you knowâŠ)
In-state yield is not only higher but is likely more predictable and less variable from year to year compared to OOS/Intl. That means they get closer to meeting their enrollment goal for in-state students. That translates to having fewer spots to fill post May 1. Therefore fewer WL offers.
Anyway, having said that - UCLA hasnât closed their WL yet so thereâs still a chance. But in general WL offer chances are very small and shouldnât be counted upon.

I am international and still on the waitlist. Do you know any data for international applicants this year? I am quite anxious these days.
But why do they not give the people they know arenât going to make it in rejections? If there are going to be less offers why keep all of us hanging onto false hope and just reduce the waitlist?

like there are people anxious to get acceptances but if this ends in rejections in July we have wasted June by worrying about this. Why not send out rejections starting in June?

Maybe because there is no down side for them to keep the maximum number of backups? There is always a possibility that the committed students get off the waitlists of better choices. But I agree, it is painful for us.

idk itâs just not right to keep us waiting only to receive a painful rejection at the end. If they donât have many seats left (at least for in-state), they should just start sending rejections now instead of stalling and making us hope that there is a chance. As much as I want to get in, I feel demoralized because I am waitlisted in CoE but the days passing with no update just makes it even worse
