It looks like transfer students are starting to hear from UCSD. I wonder if that is a sign freshman waitlist will come soon?? Hopefully!
Hey so I called the admissions office today and apparently they already started releasing decisions for undergrad waitlists, but I don’t know how correct that statement is… Did anyone hear back yet?
@karah123 I think they’re still giving out waitlist decisions for transfers. I haven’t heard anything from other freshman yet…
just here checking for my daughter. Really surprised when she was waitlisted at ucsd, looking at the numbers it should have been an easy acceptance. 4.5 gpa, 10 AP classes, SB President, theater, sports, 32 ACT. Class rank #5. She was also waitlisted at ucla but received notice recently of no placement. UCLA was her dream school. She should have applied to more UC’s. We didn’t understand how competitive UC’s have become. She was accepted at Northeastern, but will be attending U of Arizona Honors college on a merit scholarship. Didn’t even apply to U of A until all the rejections came in from some top privates and UC Berk. Something is very wrong with this system. These schools are making a financial killing off of these applications. If she could do it over again, I would be happy to pay for a professional college counselor to navigate this application process. Obviously she didn’t do something right while applying. What does it take these days to get admitted?? She couldn’t have worked any harder, I haven’t seen her all year.
@897jhg What is her major though?
@897jhg Looking at the numbers only seems to work for formula based admissions like the CSU method. With 100,000 applications and holistic admissions, there’s just no way to be sure any of our kids will get in.
just called them, the admissions officer didn’t say much but that there has been movement on the freshman waitlist and that it’s rolling.
no new news for my kid, although I suspect that since he’s committed to UCB that the door is probably closed…
@ProfessorPlum168 Tell him to get off the waitlist so us plebs have a chance lol
reply to @E4tHam Communications major is first choice then Comp Sci
@897jhg Anyone who is interested in CS is immediately waitlisted/rejected if they aren’t accepted in order to limit the number of people who try to switch into CS.
@E4tHam That would have been nice to know before spending $$$ for applications at UCLA, UCB and UCSD. In the long run, she will be just fine at U of Arizona, she will be valued as a student there, plus graduate without debt.
Guys when can we expect waitlist results to come out!?
i dont think there are any more spots left
I checked and I’m still on waitlist for CS and Prebio. Is there any chance?
We will likely be notified by 6/11 because that is when housing registration begins.
waitlist site is down, maybe they’re posting results?
It’s not down for me. Still on waitlist
can they just reject us already, i just need closure
ugh I feel…I just want everything to be final
