UCSB WAITLIST CLASS OF 2019

@genieforuboi The struggle is real.

@coffeelife I thought I had a chance bruh, but its over now. I got front handed by davis, then backhanded by irvine, and I thought it would be over. I thought the carnage would be finished, yet I realized the shitshow has only begun and santa barbara let me down with a final front hand to the left cheek. I don’t know what to say really, its a weird feeling. Being waitlisted to all the UC’s ya know. Idk how to describe this feeling, its quite exquisite. Ah fine day, yes.

Got any idea how many sb is accepting from waitlist this year?

it varies from class to class. there’s not a specific amount of people they’re gonna accept. it just depends how many people end up going to ucsb and how many spots they have left for majors. that’s why we all find out after national signing day (May 1st) because the UCs need to find out if they have any space and if they do, what majors they need to fill

@genieforuboi it also varies a lot year to year.

in 2013, 600 kids got in on the sb waitlist
in 2014, 140 did

now that doesnt mean like 6 will get in this year, but it means that its very random.

anybody hear back yet?

nope @collegelyfe17

Has anyone heard back yet?

I’m wondering if the first batch will be released today

When will they let us know if they will even accept off the waitlist?

Probably end of this week- it was 5/6 last year.

Rejections came out later.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

my friend just got off the waitlist and he’s admitted now. he heard back 2 days ago

@babyblue246 Isn’t the admissions office only open on weekdays?

Should we hear back by this friday? Also, will they send an email or do we have to just check the portal?

@blackhawks19 Judging by the way they released the admission notifications, I would the check the portal even if you haven’t received an email. They will upload it to the portal before they email you so if you want to find out in the utmost urgency I would check hourly after school every single day until you hear back. At least that’s what I’m doing.

@babyblue246 Are you 100% sure? How did they notify him? And did he accept his spot into the Class of 2019?

I checked my email and portal and I still have not heard back yet.

@coffeelife I’m still waiting too. Why is UCSB doing this to us? I swear being wait listed is almost worse than being rejected. My friend was taken off the wait list and accepted into UC Berkeley today so we should be hearing any day now if we are part of the first wave.
