My son just got off the waitlist and accepted to Statistics and Data Science! He was about ready to accept Cal Poly but now he’s rethinking that… Still on waitlist at UCI and UCSD. He’s going to decline UCD now.
Wow I wonder if acceptances will keep coming out today or tonight like last night? Im really praying that they accept a lot of people from the waitlists this year.
Did anybody get off the waitlist in Undeclared(Letters & Science)?
Is there any way to see if you got in based on the waitlist or appeal? I was accepted yesterday and there’s no indication on the portal whether I just got off the waitlist or got in based on my appeal. thanks!
Yes! Son just got accepted undeclared L&S last night.
Gpa: 3.96

I am in-state what are my chances at getting pulled off the waitlist?
D got accepted today (pre-bio)

@katieb123 Everyone that is still waitlisted to UCSB probably has their best chance after May 1st considering the fact that regularly admitted students SIR somewhere else and haven’t declined SB, waitlist applicants who got in (the high stat kiddos) have until May 1st to decide and may go somewhere else, and other waitlists for UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCB, and UCLA are still to come for most in-state students so if prospective UCSB students get in there they could not go to UCSB opening up more potential spots for people like us (Also seeing a trend in how the people getting in off the waitlist are high stats and waitlisted elsewhere so UCSB most likely waitlisted way more people than usual amidst the pandemic giving us lower stats a hopeful shot!)
college admissions has been pretty rough for me so i cried tears of joy getting off the waitlist this morning :’) 3.8 uw, 1430/33, pre-global studies major !!!
Just got off the waitlist this morning for pre-economics! I didn’t appeal, just opted in.

@aki2020, congrats to your son! Do you know when the waitlist changed for him?
Does anyone know instagram accounts that are legit for kids finding roommates and making connections? Thanks!
It just changed today. But just last week, the waitlist in UIUC moved and he accepted CS at UIUC. So he may not take UCSB.
my son just got off the waitlist Tuesday, for comp engineering.

Looks like yesterday was a big day for waitlist applicants, but maybe not today?
I got an email yesterday saying my UCSB decision was posted, I checked and i was accepted off the waitlist. This is super exciting but i find it ridiculous that UCSB is only giving us 4 days to decide?? i’ve already committed to UCI because i didn’t expect to get any waitlist replies until after May 1, but now i have 3 days to make a huge decision and i don’t know how i can make an informed decision in such a short amount of time.
Does anyone know if UCSB is coming out with waitlist rejections? Or is it only waitlist acceptions as of now.
@garbx1828 Just acceptances for now. UCSB will definitely wait until at least the end of May before sending rejections because some people who are currently committed to UCSB may get off the waitlist somewhere else within the next few weeks and decide to go there instead, which would open up a spot for someone on the waitlist.
Son just logged in (7:05 pm PDT) and was accepted off of waitlist.
