@anthonydavis yeah dude I applied to UCLA, Cal, UCSD, UCI, SB, Davis and UCR.
Got into everything but shocked at the waitlist from UCSD and not to shocked from the waitlist from UCLA. If these waitlists dont work ill go to UCI ahhahaha. Did you get into UCI?
Does it make me naive to feel optimistic about being admitted from the waitlist??
I got into Davis, but…UCSD is my top choice ahhhhh. The anxiety about all of this is yet to be over.
@anthonydavis Congrats! I’m really excited. I think I just like how clean, safe, and beautiful the campus is. It’s cool how it’s literally shaped in a circle around a park. I haven’t explored much but I’m going to Celebrate UCI next Friday so that’s when I’ll look around and get merch haha
@Veronicuhh no, I feel like one of the best things you can do in these situations is keep your head up and be hopeful! So keep that thinking and good things will come @ jaceymoo omg maybe I should go to that? UCI is looking like my best option rn SO IT WOULD BE NICE TO CHECK IT OUT and I can say hi to you!
@anthonydavis You should! And join the UCI transfer facebook group too cause a lot of us are going to it and are planning to meet up
@jayshah12 Yes I got into UCI! I might actually check it out next week with @jaceymoo What are the chances of getting off the waitlist of UCLA? You deserve to go there. PS did anyone on this thread get into berkely?
@anthonydavis I got rejected from CAL, as expected.
@anthonydavis if you tryna go to UCI
@anthonydavis I got waitlisted for UCSD. I was just straight up rejected by UCLA :(( but I really don’t understand why. I wish they would put the reason in the rejection later or something
@jayshah12 I got rejected from cal too LMFAOO I don’t rly care about going there tho so it’s fine @jaceymoo I made my counselor call them and ask why I got rejected from UCLA and they told me. You should too!
@jaceymoo that’s why I’m going to appeal too bc if the course I needed to take wasn’t listed on assist how am I supposed to know to take it lol
@anthonydavis are you a two year transfer bro? I’m down to meet up if you trying to go to UCI if the waitlist dosen’t approve me from UCSD and UCLA!
@anthonydavis Ugh this stresses me out. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with UCI. UCLA has just always been my dream school, everyone said that I would get in, and even though I knew it was a long shot, I still had an ounce of hope. But I didn’t know we could call! I’m a bit afraid to know the reason, because what if it’s something minor like SMH on my part
Hey! I was wondering how you can tell what major you got Waitlisted for like your first choice or the backup. Where does it say what major you got waitlisted for on the portal? My first choice was Computer Science and my back up was Cognitive Science.
I wonder how many people got waitlisted this year
Do you all think the waitlist will come out before the SIR, or is it going to be up in the air like this year?
@alexaaaaa That’s nuts!!! I’ve never heard of someone with that low of GPA getting into that major. This just goes to show how sometimes admissions can just come down to luck. I saw a video documenting the admissions process at Amherst college, which is a very selective school. One of the guys in the committee whose vote could make or break someones future, said that sometimes he doesn’t know why he votes for/against someone. It’s people at the end of the day looking at these things and when they’re doing this all day, I guess inconsistencies can happen.
@anthonydavis yes I’m a 2nd year and I might go to the UCI thing on Friday but I really hope that we can meet at either UCLA or UCSD instead because I really love both of those schools. @jaceymoo is your GPA in range for your major at UCLA / are you TAP certified? If so I’m unsure why you would’ve gotten denied. It’s my dream school too and for me, I felt like I wasn’t doing everything I can to get in if I didn’t at least try appealing. However I know for a fact we are going to prosper and enjoy our time at any school we choose to go to
@hailey5799 I’m hoping they come in mid may like last year but because of how messy UCSD was in general this year I’m just not sure
@anthonydavis yeah the average GPA of admitted students in my major is a 3.71 and mine is 3.73. No I’m not TAP certified, so maybe that’s where I fell short? I saw a counselor and told her I wanted to transfer and she never mentioned TAP or TAG, she just told me what classes to take. So when I saw everyone posting about TAP and TAG, I was lost. I feel like I did everything myself throughout the whole admission process. But yes, you should appeal! Let me know how that goes. I’m committed to UCI already so now I’m just going to aim for UCLA for graduate school. I keep telling myself that I’m going to go to my dream school someday! :))
