Do you know if they look at alternate majors for waitlisted students?
UCSB does not consider alternate majors for waitlisted students in the College of L&S since that college does not admit by major. However, for the College of Engineering they may consider the alternate major if not in the College of Engineering.
Do you mind sending me to where you got this info from? Thanks!
@Gumbymom Do you know if there’s a way to remove yourself from the waitlist after opting in? Will I be negatively affected for being opted-in at one school while accepting admission to another UC? Thanks!
You need to email admissions if you want to opt out of the waitlist. Accepting another UC while still on the waitlist at another school will have no negative effect.
My daughter just received an email to check the portal for a decision. She was waitlisted to UCSB back on 3-16-2021. Admitted to Pre-Communications tonight. Instate, 4.17 UC GPA. She will be declining as she is deciding between UCLA and Cal by tomorrow. Good luck!
