Usually wait list stats are are listed on the Common Dataset but for 2016 or 2015, nothing is listed for UCSD. It also does not state if it is ranked.
No waitlist admits from 2014. Unable to find Waitlist info from 2015, but I know I have the info somewhere.

guys, from last year’s thread, there were many waitlisted applicants that were able to get accepted off the waitlist. I know that every year is different because of the yield number, but I have high hopes for us.
I just got waitlisted from UCSD too. I applied as a cognitive science major and it was my top choice, which sucks. I got into Davis and am still waiting to hear back from Santa Barbara and LA. Oh, I’m out of state as well. Good luck everyone.
Found the waitlist stats for 2015, but 2016 are still missing in action.
9,000 offers
996 admits
@Gumbymom means 9000 wait listed and later 996 among them got admitted?
If you are waitlisted and if you are admitted later, your major will change to undeclared for sure?
@restAllgreen it mainly changes to undeclared if you originally applied as a capped major
@yourguardian oh that’s too bad. Thanks for replying.
@restAllgreen is your major capped? :c
@yourguardian is CS a capped major?
@restAllgreen: Yes, CS is a capped major and besides BME, probably the most competitive major at UCSD,
@lizziedarling ah congrats! I’m @longwait2 's daughter and at this point I know I got waitlisted because I applied to Psychology. Well, at least I’m pretty sure of that because I have a friend who has a 4.1 (me 4.18) GPA and a 24 (me 33) ACT score and she got in as undeclared. She also had the extra essay. Darn If only I had applied to another major I most likely would of gotten in.
The waitlist is useless.
You will be put into undeclared major and you will never get into capped major like Computer Science. GPA 4.0/3.9 at UCSD to get into Computer Science. And, the course you take have all the admitted CS students in there. You pretty much need to out beat all the existing students to go to CS.

@restAllgreen yea i believe it is capped
wow! It seems that A LOT of people got wait listed for UCSD…good luck everyone!!
I just applied for Political Science and I got waitlisted too 
I’m really sad as my brother goes there and it is my #1 pick. I am hoping for the best but good luck to you and everyone else on the waitlist. If things don’t go right then I’ll probably appeal.
@nickc1012 Aw I hope you get off the waitlist 
Atm UCLA is my #1 pick…and it’s coming out this Friday YIKES
If we get off the waitlist do we get our intended major or something else ?
@realbetag if u applied as a capped major, you get off the waitlist undeclared
