@smugguy90 take a look at the waitlist threads from previous years, it seems people have. not sure what they were told in terms of when they would be notified though …
@plsletmegraduate will do!! Thank you! Good luck in your quest.
@plsletmegraduate same, imma say a couple prayers and wait till mid may lol
@suprimo319 oh I hope they take mercy on us! haha
If I don’t get into Berkeley (very likely) I’m going to visit Davis and UCSB and then if I don’t get off the waitlist before the SIR is due then I’m going to pick one and SIR.
@hailey5799 hey sorry I’m such a stalker but, I noticed you’re at DVC for poli sci! So am I! I’m in the same boat as you, rejected at UCLA, waitlisted at UCSD and vacillating between UCSB, UCI and Davis. Are you going to Davis Decision Day on the 11th?
Waitlisted.
Cogn. Sci.
3.57 (will probably dip this semester).
If I don’t get in I guess I’ll have to go to Irvine!
Does anyone know exactly how the waitlist works?
Like I know if there’s a spot available it’ll be offered but how exactly do they determine if they’re going to offer you admissions?
Sorry. I’ve never done this before. Lol
CCC transfer, International Student
Political Science-International Relations
GPA: 3.73
Pre-reqs:complete
IGETC: finishing this spring
Just so confused and upset by the waitlist. I guess I’m going to UCSB.
Do the final semester grades impact their decision to take people off the waitlist or do they just have some pre determined order?

I found this link… I don’t know if it’ll answer your question but it sounds like there’s some predetermined order and no real way to increase your chances
I am just curious how many people were waitlisted
@Alexandr2356786 there’s no concrete statistics since UC’s don’t publish this information. But there’s this from a couple years back that can give you some insight on previous years’ statistics

Honestly, comparing my stats to my CS majors (AKA MY COMPETITORS lol) idk how I was even offered a spot on the waitlist, but ya know, just happy to be considered at this point lol
Sammeeee! I saw someone in my major get straight out rejected with a 3.8 and I have a 3.5 and I’m missing some prereqs sooooo I was like??? But hey I’m happy! @Suzeee
I totally feel you! did you see that dude with the 3.94 in CS???

@lovelei @rdll123 IM GLAD IM NOT ALONE HERE
3.94 gpa guy made lose all hope lol.
Though I’ve heard if your gpa is too high for certain schools they’ll reject you because they know you won’t attend. And for CS, a 3.8+ puts you in a good position for UCLA and Berkeley so it’s a pretty smart decision on the admissions board’s part to not accept those students and give those spots to people who will likely actually attend cough cough like us plz cough cough
Yeah I got waitlisted too…
Pretty stoked all these people with High GPA’s got waitlisted…

Best of luck everyone…
I was trying not to be too bummed because I got into UCLA and I know how hard CS is to get in anywhere but for family reasons I had basically already made up my mind on UCSD ahead of UCB and UCLA, and when I got into UCLA with the 3.94, I was like alright UCSD should be a lock haha. Nahhh.
I’ve read that bit about some qualified students not getting in due to them trying to keep their yield rates up, hoping that’s the case! Just seems like a lot of people got waitlisted. Hopefully they’re quick and we start getting in! Good luck guys!
