who’s writing an appeal?
I keep getting a 500 - Internal server error every time I try to access the portal.
@westkidcollege It means she was qualified, but they ran out of room in the classes. Considering the admit much more than class size, they make a waitlist so they have a ready and willing supply of students to fill those spots if an admitted student doesn’t accept the offer. Just like other schools, UCSB will know who is going by May 1, meaning your daughter won’t figure out until after. This means she has to put a deposit down and accept another school, but if a spot becomes available at UCSB and your daughter accepted the waitlist, she may be moved out of the waitlist and into the available section; however, at the cost of the lost deposit at the original school she was going to go to.
The portal isn’t even opening for me
