UCSB WAITLIST (University of California Santa Barbara)

CONGRATS @tashep98 GO GAUCHOS!!!

It stated that my appeal was approved, but it could be possible that I got in off of the waitlist

Guys if we don’t fill in the housing registration by May 15th are we screwed? Because they sent us an acceptance really late and it takes days for them to receive ur SIR.

@cooljon525 lol won’t a small percentage of people get accepted after may 15th too? would they be given a different date haha

@yasv11 That’s true. I’m sure we’ll get a dorm but I wanna have the option to pick my top choice dorm.

I got off the waitlist a few days ago (as an incoming freshman) and took a few days to decide between ucsb and another school. I had until the 18th to make a decision to SIR. I SIRed yesterday and realized that the housing application was due the next day and thought that I lucked out because it says it takes 24 hours from when you SIR to when your ucnet id is all set up and stuff and you can complete the application. I set up my ucnet id and it is all activated and such. Well I’m about to run out of time for the housing app (due today, May 15) and when I try to access the housing application it says that I am not a 2016-17 student or something and it says that I should wait a few business days after I SIR for it to work. It says if I want guaranteed housing, I have to turn it in by May 15 but it isn’t letting me, so does this mean I won’t be able to live on campus??? UCSB has to reserve some space for people who get in later off the waitlist or appeal right? I’m really nervous I won’t be able to live on campus and that would honestly be a huge disaster for me. I don’t want to spend my freshman year off campus

For those of you recently accepted at ucsb who are going to enroll and may have previously deposited at csulb, please cancel with csulb right away, and specifically cancel with the housing department there. There are people on the waiting list for housing there - including my son. He really wants to have the dorm experience.

@ucsbyay Don’t worry ucsb requires that people live on campus for the first year. I completed my housing today even though it’s past the deadline.

@cooljon525 thanks!!

My daughter got off the wait list and submitted her SIR yesterday. It good to know that freshmen are required to live on campus the first year. Thanks !

“It good to know that freshmen are required to live on campus the first year.” Just FYI, they aren’t.

yeah, housing is guaranteed to all freshmen but it’s not required to live on campus the first year

“housing is guaranteed” that’s a relief. We weren’t sure.

hi … my daughter is still waiting ( econ major) …
can you tell me when did your daughter get off the wait list ?

My Son is also waiting to get off any news?

just got in! received the email at 4:39pm

Yay - congrats!

@carpediem12 what’s your major? do you mind sharing your stats as well?

it’s so weird, i got off the emory waitlist, but i still haven’t gotten any response from ucsb

ucsb is my dream school, i’m really scared i won’t get in. does anyone know if they are still admitting people, or was today the last day?
