Hey guys I noticed that the UCD had a waitlist thread so I thought I would create one for UCSD.
Feel free to post up your stats and major. I recommend that if you were accepted to another UC then go ahead and SIR as UCSD is not a guarantee and in case UCSD does take some in then I think it is ok to cancel SIR to the other UC or school. Here are my stats. Heres hoping that I will get in.
GPA: 3.38
Major: Economics
IGETC: Yes (By end of Spring)
Pre-Reqs: All completed except for Calc 3.
As a reminder the deadline to reserve a spot on the waitlist is May 15.
MAJOR: Economics
IGETC: Done by Spring 2016.
Major Prep: Done by Spring 2016.
GPA: 3.22
Essay: 9/10
ECs: Working part time
Applied to: UCD, UCR, UCSD, UCSC, SFSU, CSULB, SJSU, SDSU
Accepted: UCD, SFSU, CSULB, SJSU
Rejected: SDSU
I know it’s a long shot but UCSD is my top choice.
Cool. Forgot to mention I have been accepted to UCSB, UCD, UCSC, CSULB, SJSU and I have already SIR’ed to UCSB.
I just submitted the 200 word essay for the waitlist. Have you done it yet? I submitted it but I did not get an email about it and the ‘myapplication’ is still letting me go to the page where you write the essay. @Czeromool
Hey guys, good idea on the thread. Lets keep each other updated with the wait-list response from UCSD.
I plan on sumbmitting my 200 word essay, but I want to do it next week after my finals. Do you think that submitting the wait list opt-in will give me a better place on the wait list? I really want to opt in soon, but I also want to dedicate time and work into my finals and this 200 word response. I plan on submitting in around May 5th, do you think thats too long of a wait?

@DiscoGnome
Welcome to the thread and yes we should keep each other updated. I uploaded my essay today and I was told on the official UCSD thread that since there is a deadline, it is likely that all applications will not be affected if you submit yours sooner or later. It should all be an equal chance so long as you do it before the deadline so I think you are good if do submit on the 5th.
On another note, Im shocked you did not get accepted to at least UCR, UCD, or even UCSB. Damn. Computer Science must be very impacted.
@BlackPlasma Thanks for the info I really appreciate it.
I’m shocked myself too. I applied last year with a 3.6 and missing a few classes so that didn’t surprise me. This year I’m pretty much done with everything, have tons of extra circulars (president of club, tutoring, etc) and STILL I get rejected from almost everywhere. I forgot to mention that UC Merced Denied me yet, I manage to get on the UC San Diego wait-list. Like What? How does that make sense?
Whatever man, I guess none of us really know how this “game” of collage admissions works.
I’ll submit my opt-in on the waitlist next week and keep my fingers crossed. Good Luck to everyone on the wait-list

@BlackPlasma Yea. I submitted the essay the same day I was offered the waitlist. When I login, it states I am confirmed for the waitlist. You should try to submit it again.
Major: Communication

IGETC: done
Accepted: UCD,UCSB,UCI,UCSC, SJSU
Rejected: SDSU
Waitlisted: UCSD
Hey hows it going guys, so I was looking at the UCSD freshmen waitlist thread and it seems like a couple of people were accepted earlier than the given dates that were posted. It appears most of them were international students but it’s still odd imo to release decisions earlier than planned. Also from what I read, I dont believe they send emails if your status changes so I guess i’m gonna have to check my portal every 3 days haha :(. Hopefully we all get in tho!
Lol checking every three days like life depended on it.
I have SIR’ed to UCSB
Youre able to SIR to a school and still be on the waitlist?
@UCItransfer23
Yes you can, In fact on the UCSD waitlist FAQ they actually recommend you SIR to another school. If you get accepted to UCSD you would just have to call the other school to cancel the SIR and the SIR to UCSD.
Oh that’s good to know! Thanks!
Hopefully you will get off the waitlist!(: UCSD is actually my dream school and I would love to go there but I am waiting until next fall.
Major: International Business
GPA: 3.33
IGETC: done
Accepted: UCSC, CSUCI, SDSU
Rejected: UCI, UCLA
Waitlisted: UCSD
I SIR’ed to SDSU but I really don’t want to go there, would much rather get into UCSD
Major: Political Science - International Relations
GPA: 3.26 transferable
IGETC: done
Accepted: UCD UCR
Rejected: UCLA
Waitlisted: UCSD
Thanks for letting know of this thread. I couldn’t find it earlier so I made my own one haha
I know some kids last year got accepted on 5/22 so maybe some of us could know before then! It seemed like a good year last year for transfers with most that I saw getting in, while 2014 wasn’t.
I did see a 3.06 math major get in last year and a 3.16 neuroscience major get off the wait list and a 3.11 structural engineering major. Thats impacted so I’m sure we have a chance!!!
MAJOR: Computer Science
GPA: 3.45
IGETC: Completed
Major Prep: Missing 1 class (Linear Algebra)
Applied to: UCD, UCR, UCI, UCSD, UCSC, UCSB, UCLA, UCB, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal Poly SLO

Waitlisted: UCSD, UCI, UCD, Cal Poly SLO
Do any of you think that we’ll hear back earlier than usual? Some people did last year! And maybe in '14 also.
@frozendodo24 I hope so, I still haven’t SIR’d to UCD just so I only have to pay the fee once. Crossing my fingers I receive something back before June 1st.
@Czeromool I already SIR’d to Davis but I’m REALLY hoping and praying that I can get into UCSD. The only downfall of waiting to June 1st is in the worst case scenario that you don’t get in, housing might be difficult for you to get unless you do it now. What I mean is you might be in an apartment you hate or with roommates you hate.
Does anybody think they’ll get a decision early? Have any of your friend been admitted yet?
