General Comments: Appealing… it’s one of my number one schools and I know so many people there and fell in love with the campus. Man this burns. I got waitlisted to UCSD but accepted to Davis?</p>
<p>UC GPA 4.1, SAT 2090, football 4 years, mexican, bad essays, volunteering 3 years for religious school and the local library, major: economics</p>
<p>I know Davis took a lot off their wait list last year, but I don’t know about UCSBs. I think the year before THAT it was none, and the year before something like 300. (I looked into it a year ago, and don’t precisely remember.) It depends on how well they gauge the number that will enroll. Good luck!</p>
<p>“Last year, SB admitted roughly 28% of those who accepted a spot on their wait list (563/2002) but that really doesn’t mean much. It varies from year to year.”</p>

<p>so frustrated i might die</p>
<p>Just so everyone knows, I called the UCSB office today to ask about appealing and they said they don’t want waitlisted students to submit an appeal, they would rather leave that for denied students. I was waitlisted as well and was planning to appeal but I’m not sure whether to do so anymore. I was waitlisted at SD too and there aren’t really any other schools I want to go to… So frustrating… </p>
<p>If I got a 4.4 weighted GPA in the first semester of Senior year, should I write a appeal letter even though I was waitlisted to show them I am improving?</p>
<p>is it possible to opt out of the waitlist? I signed up for the waitlist but realized that I don’t want to go to ucsb in the end and would rather go somewhere else. </p>
<p>@Krimson, I would think so. Just let them know, to be considerate to those who are waiting for a spot.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the exact number of people who were wait listed ?</p>
<p>@krimson thank you I would love all the chances I can get, I know at least 14 ppl at my school waitlisted by UCSB scary…</p>
<p>@BigBoi1223 what were your stats? Did those 14 people opt into the waitlist and hope to attend?</p>
<p>yes, although they were accepted to other schools and UCs, UCD/UCI/UCSD, they all still opted into the waitlist, which makes me kind of mad, my stats are on the header, there stats were mostly stronger than mine</p>
<p>Wow. How did you guys get waitlisted?
