UCSD waitlist?

<p>Yea, I got admitted through appeals</p>

<p>Wow. There is definitely a food posibility to get in UCSD from the waitlist cuz of the data above. It says 8000 applicants were accepted, but 2500 the accepted students actually enrolled the school. So, I am expecting that the similar thing is going to happen.</p>

<p>^hopefully</p>

<p>when do you guys think they’ll let us know?</p>

<p>Since they have until July 1st, I’m going to say mid June at the earliest. It would be great if they told us earlier, but it seems like UCs take their sweet time getting admissions related things done. Anyway, I will still be checking this thread obsessively for the next month, lol. I hope everyone makes it in. :-)</p>

<p>Haha what misspelling. food possiblity? lol</p>

<p>The point that they gave acceptances to more than 8,000 ppl in last year shows that they had enough space for the those who got accepted in last year. But only a quarter of that number of students have signed up. Even UCB has never fulfilled their capacity for transfers.
Also, I strongly doubt that all applicants who got the waitlist offer have opted in the waitlist. As UCSD says, only limitted number of applicants got the offer which is assumed around 1,000. I know that is a huge number. However, we still have a good sign from the data.
In this economic recession and critical budget cut, their choice would accept all waitlisted ppl, especially internation students since schools can chage them more than US citizens. </p>

<p>You guys should know that ppl who get in to SIR in other UCschool will automatically lose thier waitlist offer because the UC system shares thier data of applicants.</p>

<p>

Why do you say this? I’ve heard that the way to deal with the waitlist is to SIR to your backup school before the June 1st deadline. Then, if you are accepted off of the waitlist, you have to cancel your SIR to the original UC and send SIR to the school that you were admitted to off of the waitlist. * shrugs * I guess I will call today to make sure.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This is not necessarily true. The number of admission offers is based on the the previous year’s yield and the target number of students that the UC wants to enroll that year. So, lets say that the UC wants to enroll 2,500 students for a certain year and the previous year they offered admissions to 8,000 students and had a yield of 30% (so 2400 people accepted their offer). Then, to reach the new year’s goal they would need to accept ~8333 students to be on the safe side. Anyway, my point is that we are missing an important variable and that is the number of spots that are actually available.</p>

<p>Those are true. It does not matter what you are really thinking.
I am not sure how many people will actually get in to UCSD from the waitlist. But people who already signed in SIR will definitely lose their waitlist chance for UCSD. It was confirmed. </p>

<p>I do not know what kind of logic is like this. So, you mean although they had no enough space for all accepted applicants, they offered all of them? Yes, they could make expectation with what happened previous years. But that kind of expectation is always broken in real. If a number of accepted applicants bigger than their expectation signed in SIR, what would happen? In your way of thinking, they would say to some applicants “Well, we are very sorry. Since our expected number was fulfilled, the offer for you has been canceled”. </p>

<p>I do not know what will happen, u neither. I have posted what I know and what I believe. Maybe I am too optimistic. But it makes sense. :)</p>

<p>One more thing.</p>

<p>If they really think they can control the number, they never need to offer a chance of being waitlisted. :p</p>

<p>Oh, you might know that UCI accepted all waitlisted ppl in last year. </p>

<p>It won’t be the same for sure, but we can have hope from the fact at least…</p>

<p>I called the UCSD admissions office today and asked them if our waitlist offer will be automatically cancelled if we send in an SIR to another UC. The admissions officer I spoke to said that everything she read says that all the UCs understand that after the June 1st deadline (today) students may “bail on them” because of waitlist offers and that students are “encouraged to SIR to other schools” (including UCs). </p>

<p>But – I mean this in all seriousness – how was it confirmed? I’m not trying to poke holes in what you are saying (although I disagree with you because of what I’ve been told by the admissions officers), but this is an important point because the negative consequences of not SIRing to a school you’ve already been accepted to and waiting for an offer from a school doing a waitlist can be pretty bad (you end up with no where to go).</p>

<p>I totally agree with amsstory:

<p>we are strongly urged to SIR other back-up school according to the link above…</p>

<p>:D
hope they accept all those opt-in :)</p>

<p>Holy crap! I just got an email form ucsd telling me to check. But I’m too scared to check.</p>

<p>Horey sheet!!! </p>

<p>I got in ya! Revelle! Ya!!!</p>

<p>umm if you get an email saying there is exciting news waiting for you… that already gives it away haha
just got accepted into muir :)</p>

<p>ya whatever dude.</p>

<p>i have to accept by june 12. what happened to the 3 day thing?</p>

<p>edit: and you never know they might be juking you.</p>

<p>econ
10char</p>

<p>See??? Did everyone get in??? </p>

<p>lol Lets see in UCSD!!!</p>

<p>I got accepted today too! I’m so happy they told us so early. My major is Computer Science and I am in at Eleanor Roosevelt. A little bummed about that because I wanted Revelle (I think the courses they require are pretty neat), but I’ll see if I can change it if I decide on UCSD. I’m still not entirely sure. BTW, I SIRed to Davis and that did not affect anything.</p>

<p>Accept UCSD’s offer and rescind UCD asap! lol but seriously come on</p>

<p>Got into Thurgood, but as an undeclared.</p>

<p>3.68, biochem major.</p>
