UCSB Appeal?

I was wait listed and I sent in an appeal, which they received several weeks ago, but it still says the decision is pending. When should I expect do receive my appeal decsion? (I know wait list is after may 1st)

You just answered your own question…after May 1st.

Is this a financial aid question too? If so…what is that question?

A poster last year appealed after being waitlisted and submitted senior year grades and a new award hoping to tip the scales. Unfortunately, poster reported he/she was denied in July. My son’s friend was accepted off the waitlist (no appeal) also in July.

Good luck.

I really hate how this system works. The wait is only gonna damage the mindset of us later on. And by forcing us to wittle our time until we’re literally counting seconds, minutes, hours, days, and months, they’ll just inflict greater harm to us then by giving us any news at all. I don’t want to be pessimistic, but why would you wait so long just to reject someone? As soon as they read the application, they should just determine whether or not they’re getting accepted and rejected. At least this way, if we are college rejects, then we can move on with our lives and begin the recovery process.
