UCSB WAITLIST (University of California Santa Barbara)

jim115 -
my daughter is still waiting - Econ major.
Would you mind sharing your details - gpa/act/sat/etc.

i’m hoping she makes it. Thx for your help

apologies jim115 … anyone who got in recently … can you share your details.
will help figure out if we are anywhere close.

UCSB Housing told me via email: “In regards to your daughter on the waitlist, she is still guaranteed housing. She will get an extended deadline and will be notified of that deadline by email.”

This was from an assistant in Housing and Residential Services. But you should verify that for yourself. My daughter decided not to go to UCSB after being taken off the wait list (May 3), so she did not get that extended deadline email (so I cannot confirm)

Please post the ACT/SAT and GPA information to understand where the list is. Thank you

Hopefully they’re still sending out acceptances for the rest of you! :slight_smile:

Yes, daughter gave up UCSD and accepted UCSB.

Does the waitlist close June 1st or June 30th? I seem to recall seeing somewhere that the date had been moved up to June 1st. Please let me know if any of you saw or heard the same.

somebody asked ucsb admissions on Twitter and they said all decisions will be finalized June 1st. they said that last year too, but after June 1st passed they changed the date to June 30. totally unfair

I believe transfer students must submit their SIR today.

did anyone get a reply (either accepted or rejected) today? I haven’t gotten anything

My daughter is still on the waitlist and still no word. I called the admissions office last week and they confirmed that the waitlist deadline has been extended to June 30th. The Tweet post re June 1st was premature as they were hopeful they could complete it by then. Keeps us in suspense longer, but also keeps the hope alive - the proverbial double edged sword.

Thank you for the update. Guess those of us left on here will be feeling the anxiety a while longer. UCSB is my daughter’s last viable option. She is not yet ready to venture out of state. I am curious to know what the rest of you are doing if UCSB doesn’t come through? We can keep ourselves distracted with casual conversation. :wink:

My daughter submitted her SIR to UCSC and will go there if SB doesn’t come through.

We are forced to go out of state if UCSB does not come through.

I’ll be going to Boston university. but it’s way too expensive for my family and its out of state

I’ll be attending UC Irvine to study computer engineering if Santa barbara doesnt come through.
