Yes, After being accepted after 24 hrs able to apply for Housing applications.

Has anyone been admitted off the waitlist for Sociology?

Yes, see post 261 for Sociology admit

Yes, see post 256 and 341 for Political Science.

I think saw one admit for eco. Were there more? If there has been just one admit for eco till now(at least here), does it more there would be more in the next round?

Also able to fill out housing app this morning. Has anyone heard what consequence (if any) waitlisted students will have for missing May 1 housing deadline?

Are appeals(with new and significant updates) and waitlisted applicants considered together or are they separated pools?

Appeals and Waitlists are handled differently so separate pools.

2 Econ admits posted and I Business Econ. Another Sociology admit wants to switch to Econ.

College of Letters and Sciences does not admit by major since students can switch majors once completing the required prep courses.

My son was a waitlist admit 4 years ago. May 1 deadline does not apply to waitlist admits. If they do it the same way, housing for this group of waitlist admits will be processed with the transfers, so expect a housing offer mid-June.

My daughter wants to major in sociology and stated that clearly in her LOCI, but her originally application was L&S undecided. She was admitted off the waitlist on Saturday.

Is the other school another UC? If so, you should withdraw from the other UC within 1-2 days. If it is not another UC, then you might want to contact the school in question.

USC is a great school in its own right but you can’t beat the value UCLA provides. Save the difference for grad school or a down payment for a house.

I want to report another UCLA waitlist admit I learned about today. A young man from my DD’s high school was admitted off the waitlist (not sure what day but I think over the weekend). In state. I think the major was computer engineering or similar. He had SIR’d to Duke with a Shanghai (or somewhere in China) fall start I think, but now will be SIRing to UCLA. I don’t know his stats.

My son (instate) knows 4 people that were offered spots from the waitlist this past Saturday morning. A range of majors (one CS, the other 3 in the College). 2 have already decided to take the offer. [if this second hand knowledge shouldn’t be posted please feel free to delete]
