Ridiculous how UCLA has still not given me an update for the WL. Berkeley already rejected everyone off the waitlist, so UCLA please reject me already

Almost certain ucla will reject the remaining waitlist at this very late stage of transitioning to committed university. At least ucla accepted some off the waitlist before. i.e. Better treatment than Berkeley waitlist. Best of luck to everyoneâs future study. Thanks to the forum champion for providing this thread.

Why do you think they have it open still then. I know last minute things can happen. And sudden changes might make a few spots available.
why keep a waitlist of 7000 if there could be a few spots open? and why do they have to make sure every single seat is filled, it shouldnât be too big of a problem if their incoming class is short by just a few students

but it does indeed stay that uc schools have the flexibility to release admission decisions from the waitlist prior to june 1st and may not release the waitlist until after july 31st so anything is still possible. Not trying to have false hope since I already committed elsewhere. And also if we have yet to get back our decisions Iâm pretty sure its becoz spaces are still open. I also think last yearâs UCLA waitlist closed hella late as well.
at least berkeley pulled the plug on the waitlist, ucla could keep us here till who knows when
If you feel that way, why do you think Berkeley kept the waitlist for > 2 months and only to reject all? We can all speculate. e.g. They want to reduce the number of appeals/lawsuits. Only they know the true reason. Many of us here receive the waitlist treatment from both Berkeley and UCLA. Only a few lucky ones are happy about how they âcreated/handledâ the waitlists.
Hmm, I donât know which one I prefer. Waitlisted till July 6 and Berkeley rejected all, or waitlisted till July 31 but at least some students got off the UCLA waitlist in May/June. I think I prefer the latter.
âAnd also if we have yet to get back our decisions Iâm pretty sure its becoz spaces are still openâ.
Not necessarily true based on how Berkeley waitlist ended this year. They could do this to us because they are the top UCâs. Please do update the thread if anyone receives acceptance in July. Appreciate it.

youâre right, nobody knows except them. Itâs best to try and begin accepting that nothing will happen than to probably still have false hope.
FYI, itâs not just the top UCs. UC Santa Cruz did the same this year. Zero in state pulled off the wait list, and only a small handful of out of state/internationals.

Are there any other UC waitlists that are currently open still? or is it just UCLA left.

Congrats! Did your daughter do anything other than write the waitlist letter? Did she call Admissions, talk to a professor, etc?

Hi smeister, which committed school will your daughter let go in favor of UCLA ? So I can tell other students that there maybe a spot available and do something. Thanks.
My son was just accepted off the waitlist. In-state L&S. Iâve been following this thread, felt all your emotions as youâve been waiting, and thought some of you may want to know. Heâs not sure if heâll accept but I know that he, like all of you, will be successful no matter where you land. Good luck to everyone!
