With those stats, Iā€™m shocked to hear she was even waitlisted. Or rejected anywhere? If you donā€™t mind me asking, where was she committed before getting off the waitlist for Ucla?

We were told Computer Engineering is really competitive. She was committed to USC. :face_with_hand_over_mouth: I hope she gets housing at UCLA.

She will definitely get housing ā€” technically UCLA guarantees 4 years. Most first years end up in triples regardless of what they put first, and we arenā€™t even a week past the SIR date. I think I recall people who got off the waitlist much later than this during summer 2021 (my sonā€™s year ā€” heā€™s a current second year at UCLA), and they got housing. Donā€™t worry, and congrats!

Can you please share why is she picking UCLA over USC for computer engineering?

Not really. UCLA CE has a 2% admit rate from a very competitive applicant pool.

I canā€™t speak for @UCLACE but, assuming no aid at either school, UCLA tuition (before fees) is $13,752/year. USC tuition (before fees) is $66,640/year. Four years of tuition at UCLA will be $11K less than one year of tuition at USC.

Has anyone heard updates for appeals? I know someone in my school got accepted yesterday from appealing.

Wow, thatā€™s rare. Do you happen to know what the reason for the appeal is? They say they wonā€™t even consider unless thereā€™s new and compelling information.

395

Same - my daughter hasnā€™t been able to sign up for housing and was accepted yesterday off the waitlist.

396

Trying to figure out the same!

Does anyone have access to the waitlist faq page on their application portal, I recall it said housing, if submitted by the 15th is guaranteed for waitlist applicants. Additionally I wonder if the housing portal functions similarly to the vaccine submission portal that stated that it would be active two business days after the SIR deposit was submitted. Hoping maybe by Tuesday it will be available.
