I just got waitlisted from davis today. I applied for bio. Are my chances for UCSD virtually dead?(got into cal poly btw)
cal poly slo or ponoma?
slo @Ilovefood2000
no. ucs dont communicate with each other in the admissions process and just because ucd waitlusted you doesn’t mean that ucsd would reject you or waitlist you either.
my current boyfriend was waitlisted at davis when he applied in 2016 but got into stanford ¯_(ツ)_/¯
you’ll only know once your decision comes whether you got in or not. things like major, gpa, and whatnot work in mysterious ways.
edit to correct myself for saying that you’re a transfer.
You’ve still got a shot. Just like @ucsdcscholar said, UC’s don’t communicate with each other. I know people denied from Irvine that are here at UCSD today, as well as a person denied from Irvine, LA, and SD, who is at Berkeley. Crazy things can happen, hopefully you end up on top.
@ucsdscholar Ha! If I was your boyfriend, I would have forwarded the Stanford acceptance to the Davis admissions. I too was waitlisted at Davis, and it stung a great deal. Hopefully the rest of the schools I’ve applied to will see I’m a real catch!
Congratulations on getting into Cal Poly @Ironweasal! Although you might have a preference for UCSD, you should be able to relax a bit knowing that you’ve got a great option even if you don’t get in anywhere else. And definitely the UCD result does not guarantee you’ll be rejected at UCSD. I would say that the UC admission decisions are correlated, but it’s not a very tight correlation. You’ll just have to wait and see what happens–less than a week to wait, probably.
