what are the waitlist chances of being accepted?
@brokencoconut Thank you for your kindness! I hope you have a first choice college that will be tremendously amazing for you! Did you get into any other UC’s?
@brokencoconut be mad at the low support for higher ed in California, not out of staters. They are actually subsidizing extra in state kids over and above what the state has allocated funds for. I live in CA too, so don’t shoot me.
@Undercovermom1 thanks! I have admitted in that too but what is that?
I’M IN! WITH HONORS! FINALLY some good news
@JohnM2020 http://www.duels.ucsb.edu/honors
congratulations!
@brokencoconut, your rant is not flattering.
Last year, the acceptance rate for California residents at UCSB was 33.5%. For OOS, it was 37.9%. So you are right, the OOS acceptance rate is higher. But not astronomically.
I reviewed your stats on the UCSD thread:
Waitlisted bizecon
3.9 UW 4.0 UC
2000 SAT
4 years varsity golf, captain 1 year
A looooot of volunteering, a few ECs
Pretty darn good essays
Not a lot of AP/honors, so I guess this is still better than what I expected.
Your stats and ECs are very nice for sure, but they are not “incredible” as you state. There are plenty on this thread with higher stats who were rejected. Perhaps more notably, “not a lot of AP/honors” probably has more to do with your outcomes than some random OOS student stealing “your” spot.
@kayasizzle unfortunately no. Waitlisted here and UCSD, rejected UCLA, haven’t heard from UCI. I’m gonna try to appeal my UCLA rejection; I know it rarely works but I have some good info and it’s worth a shot lol
@MelloG I know it’s California’s fault. I’m just bitter right now lol
@brokencoconut Waitlisted is better than a rejection! Did you apply to Santa Cruz, Berkeley, or Riverside?
@kayasizzle that is true. No, these are the only UCs I had interest in
@brokencoconut I know it sucks, but just know that wherever you wind up, you’ll meet amazing people, good friends, and have the opportunity to do great things.
@heeloliver Sorry about UCSB, UCSC is a great campus. You’ll do great. BTW white male doesn’t factor into UC admissions. Gender, ethnicity, race, etc. considerations were outlawed by CA prop 209 in 1996.
@MelloG thanks so much!
has anyone heard about CCS yet?
Rejected
3.95 capped UC GPA --> 4.26 Max UC GPA
1910
Applied as a CCS computing major but didn’t submit supplemental application. ( do they actually admit into major?)
I was for sure thinking that I was gonna get in to UCSB. I don’t really care tbh I got UCSD!!! Your loss UCSB!
