<p>Hello, I was offered a place on the UCSD waitlist if I responded to their 200-word prompt. Does our rank on the waitlist matter whether we submit our essay now or later? Or have they already ranked us and are waiting to see whether we accept our place?</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>You got waitlisted already? From what I’ve heard, it is not on a first-come first-serve basis. What they do is wait until everyone they have admitted has made a decision on whether or not they will attend UCSD and from there they basically take what you’ve written and your gpa into account. BUT then again I could be wrong haha. Just wondering what were your stats like? if you dont mind sharing.</p>
<p>I am waitlisted too! Same question, just struggling with what to write on the waitlist letter but im basically talking about how much i love the campus and what opportunities i would take advantage of if i got accepted.</p>
<p>my major is communications, and my overall GPA is 3.1(3.2?). I’m so surprised I got on the waitlist, thought I’d get flat out rejected.</p>
