UCSB Waitlist Discussion Class of 2024

@katieb123 I;m not sure but i’m hoping for another wave and good news soon! It’s good to see they are going to be using their waitlsit though since they already started so early.

My son, in-state, was just accepted off the waitlist Pre Communications (Letters and Science) Major. He was accepted to Michigan, and still waitlisted at UCLA and UCSD.

I just checked my portal and I got in! I’m an international student and Econ major!

Another question: does anyone think that we maybe won’t be seeing a big wave of students get off the waitlist in early may? Is this is the waitlists and then it’ll slowly trickle, or is it good news that people are already getting off and now we will have an even bigger wave in early may? Opinions please

Congrats to everyone that got off the waitlist!!! Hopefully for the rest of us we will hear some good news sooner rather than later.

Accepted!!
In-state
4.3 GPA
ACT: 34

Must accept or decline by May 1
Congrats to others getting in, and I’m sure there’s more good news to come :slight_smile:

just got in in state! dont lose hope guys it will all work out

does anyone have any idea when/if we should expect a wave of appeal decisions?

@ucsbbbbb We should expect for some to be rolling throughout this week just as a guess, but don’t be surprised if we don’t hear back until late june. Also you could call the admissions office on waitlist decisions once they open back up tomorrow. That seems to have helped on 2023’s and 2022’s waitlists.

Also, sorry if I sound a little impatient, but if you know for sure you are not going to be attending ucsb it would be best for the rest of us that you guys and gals take yourselves off the waitlist or decline the offer. It just could help us receive our decisions a bit quicker and maybe spur some hope in us waitlistees!

I just in in state also as a pre-biology major!
I think around 4.3 GPA
Act: 31

I appealed my waitlist decision w/two letters of rec
Good luck to everyone!!

Just got in off the waitlist! California resident. GPA: 4.3 SAT: 1430, Major: Pre-Psychological and Brain Sciences

I wonder if there will be another large wave or if this was the “big” wave? I guess it depends on how many who were offered admission SIR by May 1. Hopefully we’ll here some more good news.
