UCSB WAITLIST (University of California Santa Barbara)

Hey guys does anyone know when more people will be let in? Or if more people are going to be let in at all?

@prabhleen1 next week i believe

@cooljon525 Oh okie thanks because i wasnt sure how many waves and how many people sb was going to accept. Do you think there will be a lot more?

@prabhleen1 Well i’m not sure but I can certainly tell you that as each day goes by, our chances are getting less and less since there are less spots available.

i doubt any of us are getting in lol

Hahaha its possible we can get it next week. If it doesn’t come next week, its over.

I just wanna hear back so badly I hate waiting. So many people have already gotten off the waitlist does this mean the rest of us have little to no chance? :frowning:

@tashep98 How do you know a lot of people have gotten off?

I think sb sent out all the acceptances this week for the spots they have available. But if you think about it a lot of people will say no to that offer and also a lot of people who already committed to sb have other wait lists and can take the other offers. Thats why they say they will respond to our wait list by June 30th. But for sure our chances are getting lower and lower because the space available is getting less.

@cooljon525 That makes sense… If your theory is true, I’m hoping that those who have been accepted off the waitlist but decide not to go actually reply with a formal “no” so we’re not waiting endlessly :frowning:

@prabhleen1 If it’s anything like the release of regular decisions, a waitlist decisions wave will come out something like once every week. Good luck! :slight_smile:

@cooljon525 Yes some students are taking the UCSB waitlist offer, but I’m sure there are some that are also withdrawing their UCSB SIR to attend their first choice UC that they were taken off the waitlist. I agree that the chances are getting lower, but probably not as fast as you think. There is a bit of shuffling going on between the UCs from what I hear and read. UCs had a record number of applications this year, so its been a very strange year for admissions. I would guess it will be a very strange (and hopefully positive) year for waitlisted students as well. Here’s some numbers comparing 2015 vs 2016.

Did anyone get accepted today?

@Justang I think the first people to get accepted off the waitlist were notified last Tuesday, so the next wave of decisions will probably be tomorrow or Wednesday

A lot of my friends have already been notified of their acceptances and people on here have
too @Justang

my friend checked a few minutes ago and she got in

still says decision pending for me

says that for me too

No change in my portal either :frowning:

Just out of curiosity, did you guys receive an Unofficial Award Letter (financial aid) shortly after accepting your spot on the waitlist?
