UCSD Class of 2021 Waitlist (Freshmen)

UCSB started admitting waited listed freshmen yesterday.

Lots of UCB waitlisters got offers today, some of UCLA waitlisters got in as well, but none for UCSD so far. Guess UCSD will be the next.

Guys, just got off waitlist! Managerial Science in Sixth! Btw I’m a international student.

@ccyn97 you are the first one I heard. Are you planning to attend?

Yes!!

Guys! Go check your portal, UCSD haven’t sent me an email yet. I got in around 9:30. My guessing is that the first wave might be for international students.

I’m in state. I checked my portal but nothing!

I got accepted off the waitlist at UCSB yesterday. Hope these come out soon! I SIRed at Cal Poly SLO but I still am not sure where I want to go! Cal Poly is the cheapest. Good luck to everyone! And congrats to those who have gotten in so far

Haven’t heard anything from in state. Why are people who got into UC Davis and UCSB still on the waitlist. I would appreciate it and so would others if you withdraw from the waitlist if UCSD isn’t your first choice. Thank you.

Does anyone know if the admissions committee can check our current semester grades when considering our admissions? Or are they just going based off of what we submitted to them back in November?

@polkjeff1 If that comment was directed at me, my first choice is UCSD. I will go to ucsb if I don’t get in here though. You shouldn’t assume things about people. Anyways, even if people get accepted to the other schools and decide to go there, their spot will become free, so don’t worry.

@HopefulYouth00 I don’t think they can know what your current semester grades are unless you sent them in an appeal.

I found out late last night that I got off the waitlist in communication, and they only other UC school I got accepted to was UCI (I’m from Chicago), so I’m thinking any minute now you guys will find out! Best of luck!

@gigis101a congrats! Did they send you an email?

Hey guys! If I haven’t heard anything from UCSD yet, does that mean they won’t offer me a spot?? I am in-state by the way!

Will they be checking our first semester grades from senior year

Got admitted today
First choice major : cognitive science
2nd choice campus : thurgood Marshall
I’m out of state by the way
And need some clarification, in case my interest shift to more specific neuroscience, would it be difficult to change majors from cog science to neuroscience later on?

@StevoMeepo As far as I know, no one from in state has heard back yet.

I feel as if they aren’t going to let in any local kids because they get more money from international and oos kids. Why would they admit a person who lives 15min away and who doesn’t need housing, when they could admit someone from 15hrs away who has to pay the school more? So… I probably wouldn’t get in just because I’m a local. Upsetting

@randomkid98 possibly, but in state doesn’t necessarily mean local. I live around 4 hours away from UCSD and would need housing.

Don’t worry. Waitlist admission comes in waves. Even last year they admitted international students early on ( probably to fill the quota for them) Keep in mind that it is a public university and is under obligation to have a limited number of our seat available for international and out of state applicants.
