So i am officially on the waitlist for UC Santa Cruz. They say they will let us know by Mid-May. Wanted to start this forum so we can keep everyone updated when people start getting their acceptance letters. Anyone know if they’re on the waitlist yet? And anyone know any other steps you can take to make sure the school knows your intent to enroll if they accept you?
I am on the waitlist,I am just expecting a rejection as of now :-\
I’m officially on the UCSC waitlist too. Just waiting along with you now, we’ll see.
I’m on the same boat! I have hope that I will be accepted though 
Same here. According to last year’s waitlist demographics for fall freshmen, UCSC only admitted students who appealed. just thought you guys should know this. (Bur of course there could have been other determining factors that played in the decision making…)

I’m in the same boat. Hopefully there are spots offered to kids on the waitlist. Anyone know if accepted students turning down their admission offer on their portal could help? I know some admitted kids who already know they aren’t going to attend UCSC and would be willing to help out kids on the waitlist if they can.
Idk the numbers sound bad and isnt in our favors. 24000 admitted for 3500 spots but 7000 waitlist. They waitlisted about 3500 last year.
@coolboywth where are you getting your data?
@datbandgirl the faq they sent us for waitlist
God its not looking good, the numbers just scare me so much. I really want it. Im going to call today and ask if we know of someone who got in and theyre willing to give up their spot to someone like me on the waitlist? Ill keep you guys posted.
@ccmane what’d they say??? Sorry the wait is killing me too 
We won’t know till may 15 so have other schools in mind

You need to SIR at another school until you receive a decision if it is after May 1. If you are accepted off the waitlist, you will forfeit your deposit at the original school but can accept UCSC and pay another deposit. or reject the offer.
I was waitlisted too folks! I heard some waitlisted students got their acceptance letters late Mid-Late April! Numbers are okay, though a bit competitive! And for people asking if they could replace a friend’s spot, this ain’t how it works! They do prefer giving your friend’s place to a more qualified student! Don’t get me wrong bro, but I’m just saying that they want the best freshman class not an emotional one! Good luck to all ! I hope myself and you all the best!
Yo! I’m in the same boat as you guys, UCSC was my number 1 choice and I got waitlisted
I was waitlisted too. Apparently every person that was accepted off of the waitlist last year sent in an appeal as well, but I missed the appeal deadline (March 31). It varies every year though. I don’t know… I wish I had sent in an appeal
How do they determine the waitlist order??
We were told 700 on the wait list, not 7000.
@epiphany omg only700 this year?
We could have been told incorrectly. I’ll try to find the oorrespondence.
