***UCSB CLASS OF 2023 WAITLIST*** Information, Stats and Discussion

my friend actually called and the lady on the phone said that they don’t yet know how many SIRs they got. she didn’t sound like she knew what she was talking about though lol. does anyone else want to try?

I was waitlisted with these stats:

9 AP’s
UC Weighted GPA of 4.43
34 ACT
Major: Physiology
Multiple awards; both athletic and academic

Hi , Does anyone know when UCSB will start sending offers for waitlisted candidates for this year ( Fall 2019) ? Thanks

I’m pretty sure we will hear back starting Tuesday

Why do you think Tuesday? Did you call? My D sent an email to her regional admission person and he said by June 30th. That was it. Not very helpful. And she asked about how many and he didn’t answer that question at all. My D also appealed a month ago and that is still pending.

@Ryboy1 not OP, but I’d also assume Tuesday because that’s when the portal performs maintenance (plus freshman decisions came out on a Tuesday as well)

I called recently, they said they would begin to review their SIRs and the waitlist around mid-May and we will be hearing after they consider everything.

@KidWithQs5436 Doesn’t sound like they have that many spots or they would already be releasing the spots like they have in years past.

Anyone have any idea what time they may start sending out notifications if indeed they do tomorrow?

Got off the waitlist yesterday (5/6/19) evening. Computer Science 3.69 UNW/4.05 W/4.00 W Capped, 36 ACT

@sushchoi Are you an in-state student?

@destes but where did you get in with those amazing stats?

@yoyo10 Yes, instate

@sushchoi did you submit an appeal on top of your waitlist?

@BeCheap4me2 Unfortunately, only UCR right off the bat for UC’s. Waitlisted at UCSD, UCSB, and Davis. Rejected by Cal and UCLA (which really hurt). Accepted to Boston University, U Miami, U Alabama, USD, and Ohio State. Rejected by Cal Poly SLO and Princeton University. To be honest, I was very surprised and disappointed with my results. The only school I was truly proud of was BU, but I couldn’t afford it and they gave me no aid whatsoever. Such a bummer ? I don’t mean to sound ungrateful by the way, I’m just very confused w the results. Just got off the Davis waitlist yesterday, but I’m praying for UCSD the most?So we’ll see!

Hi everyone! One of my friends called the UCSB admissions office and found out that the waves will start to come out this week. I really hope this is true. Good luck to you all!

@ucsbmarryme Yes, appeal letter and I included a scrapbook as well as 2 LOR and official transcript

@sushchoi
When did you submit your appeal?

@destes well, you have some great options and what an accomplishment! My son’s results made no sense either. Waitlisted at the toughest Engineering program in country, rejected by fall-backs and safeties…accepted into #2/3 programs…kids in his school with no stats got in places he didn’t…

I got into UCSB!! Major: Psychology, Submitted appeal 4.0-4.1 GPA ACT: 34 Been a huge dream school (hence my username) and I’m so thankful for getting in!!
