Same here, I haven’t heard back from them either. The wait is killing me. :((

82

Does anyone know of previous years and what time of day the waitlist decisions come out? I would assume around 3 to 5 pm pst but I do not know.

83

It seems like tmrw at 4pm people were accepted off of the waitlist, from 2016’s waitlist thread. The last time you can commit is 11:59 PM tonight, so that only makes sense.

Hello everyone! I was waitlisted at UCSD last year (I’m currently attending right now), and I just wanted to say a few things:

  1. Acceptances come out in weekly waves, I got an email titled "Good News From UCSD!" I don't know if it'll be any different this year though
  2. If you are accepted and want to attend, turn in your housing forms by the deadline if you are accepted, or you risk not getting housing (I think I was like 20 minutes too late and I didn't get housing)
  3. I can't tell you anything about stats/how likely it is you'll get in, but honestly, it's very different every year, so it's very difficult to predict anyways (I think quite a few people got off last year though, at least if you read last year's thread)
  4. I know this is a very stressful time for all of you, so please make sure you take care of yourselves. There is nothing you can do at this point but wait, so try not to worry too much
  5. Transferring is always an option if it doesn't work out! It's pretty common for students to transfer colleges anyways
  6. The fact that you got waitlisted somewhere says nothing about your ability to succeed at that college. I am currently very involved at UCSD with a pretty high GPA, even though I was waitlisted. Just work hard and you'll be fine!

Good Luck!

I am on the waitlist and I had also appealed. Turns out my appeal was denied! Crossing my fingers that the third time is the charm. Regular- nope… Appeal- nope… waitlist- TELL ME ALREADY

86

Has anyone heard back yet? Last year, it seemed like most people who got in heard around now.

87

Haven’t gotten anything yet. I thought they were accepting people off the waitlist at around 4pm.

88

keep fingers crossed, hope they release the decisions quickly

89

Has anyone heard back yet?

90

Not I.

91

4pm already, nothing happening

92

Well I guess they are taking their time this year compared to last year, guess we should just relax and try not to torture ourselves.

93

Yeah, I called admissions a few days ago and they said that after may 1st they would reevaluate all the waitlisted applicants to determine who gets in. Not sure if they did this last year, but might be the reason for a longer wait

94

I hope it won’t take long, if it takes too long, many people will quit waiting and attend other schools for sure.

95

@restAllgreen in that case it might be better for those who have UCSD as their only option? Idk

96

@whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I don’t think people have UCSD as only option, it’s too risky.

97

my portal is down… does that mean its updating soon or something??? concerned

98

I was waitlisted at UCSD and UCD. They are my only options that is if I get off the waitlist. My safety is a community college. :frowning:

99

@desireetbh I have the same question. The portal is down for me too.

The portal goes down at midnight every night.
