<p>@gswarriors1975 I wrote mine and turned it in yesterday around 9-10PM. Just write at first. Don’t worry about 200 word limit, just write. When you’re done, read over it a couple times and ask “what’s relevant, important, etc. to keep. Am I just rambling or is this something that will change their minds?” Edit and delete the unnecessary stuff. Read a couple times again and just repeat this process, and also ask a friend to review. You want to be direct with why you want them, and why they should want you. </p>
<p>Also, go warriors! lol Assuming you’re from the Bay like me.</p>
<p>Econ/Math major
3.35 GPA
Igetc: done
Prereqs: will finish the last one in the summer</p>
<p>Seems like 60-70 percent of those waitlisted last year got in, but there was also a decrease in applicants that year. There was a record number of applicants this year, so I’m hoping for the best but expecting the worst. </p>
<p>I guess my weakness is academic preparation, since my current school doesn’t have most of the Prereqs classes except for math. I applied for TAG, but after last fall my grades dropped to 3.49, which was below 3.5… *sign
And me too, I’m wondering whether the time submitting the waitlist statement makes a difference?</p>
<p>I’d like to think that the earlier we submit it, the better chance we have of being admitted, but I think all of us on the waitlist will wish that:P</p>
<p>@SJ1408, I think in an ideal world, the time of submission doesn’t affect waitlist admission, but since humans are affected by psychological factors that get to them without them even knowing it, it will subliminally affect their decisions maybe? lol</p>
<p>EDIT: OR since they are almost done with the admissions process, they might just be eager to get it all over with and just read what the reasons are (I mean, that’s the most important thing right? not submissions times/dates) and won’t give a damn about what I said above^.</p>
<p>Hmm I see. So how does the waitlist even work. Obviously some people are accepted then some are rejected then some are waitlisted. Of those people who are offered a spot on the waitlist, if hypothetically all choose to opt in to the waitlist, do they all get a spot on the waitlist? Or are there limited seats?</p>
<p>@bolandgoo, You are going to have to appeal. don’t worry, you have a really strong case. If you think about it, it is just like being on the waitlist. I am sure you will get in!</p>
<p>We don’t really know each other, and I usually don’t take anything on these online forum/social networks seriously…but those words mean a great deal to me right now! :)))
We’ll see what happens…I’ll keep everyone posted about the result, so the future applicants don’t make the same mistake.</p>
<p>Waitlisted
Sociology, 3.2
Opting in? nope!! Got accepted to UCLA. So hopefully you guys have a better chance of getting in! 1 less person to compete with. Hang in there </p>
<p>So after we submit out waitlist, it says that if we do get accepted we only have 3 calendar days to accept our spot. Does anyone know if we will have the financial information ready by then to decide if we can even go there?</p>
