UCSB Waitlist (Class of 2021)

Accepted yesterday of the waitlist :slight_smile: I’m OOS but am granted in-state tuition. Looks like it’s UCSB for me!

Congrats to everyone who got in yesterday or within these past few stressful weeks of hellish patience. I’m just random guy on the Internet who was saltier than NaCl about college decisions. After reading everyone’s story about their own personal struggle and how much effort they input and that all too relatable anxiousness and despair. Thanks to yall I’ve finally resigned myself to realizing I likely won’t be getting in. Everybody here in this thread clearly has the talents and ethics to extend far in life. Good luck to everyone. Thanks again for ridding most of this feeling of self hatred and depression I’ve had since college decision. Good luck to everyone. And if you do get in over the rest of us still waiting, please make the most of it for us.

Ucsb had a much smaller wave the second time than the first, sadly, it’s looking very doubtful for the rest of us

@waitlistedsloth how do you know it’s MUCH smaller? wouldn’t spots also open up from people getting off of other uc waitlists and committing there

You are right, I was just assuming based off the number of people saying so in this chat… I can not say for certain but time is definitely running out

There is going to be atleast one more wave

How do u know?

@waitlistedsloth before the latest wave of acceptances, admissions said it would release 2-3 more waves

so potentially 2 waves left

Now that’s what I like to hear

So UCSB lied to my son when they told him on 18May the class was full. :frowning:

Maybe they’re annoyed because they get so many calls about the waitlist from people ¯_(ツ)_/¯

No one knows the truth anymore

My D still waitlisted and pending… original response said they’ll finish this shenanigan by June 30… wow…

@CABoyMom your son was appealing a decision. That’s a different process than the normal one.

I was off the waitlist on May 17th and my SIR deadline is May 24th. I think there will be another wave on May 24th. I’ve already declined my offer of ucsb and hope one of you will get in :slight_smile:

what major

Hey guys, back to see how everyone is doing, Don’t lose confidence as not everyone who got off the waitlist will be confirming at UCSB so some spots should open up! Try not to lose hope but at the same time, prepare yourself for the chance that you might have to go to your back up. Best of luck everyone!

I think I only got in cuz I’m out of state and we got that moola lol

its been 5 days since last acceptance. have a feeling there will be a wave this week
