Hello! I was wondering if someone could help me figure this out.
I got waitlisted to Long Beach but I found out through the self service. It said they sent an email on how to accept the waitlist offer but I haven’t recieved one in my inbox or spam. Do I just wait? Is there an essay I am supposed to write? Did they make a mistake? Also is there someone I can email?
If it’s been a day or two since the results came out and they still haven’t sent the email, then definitely contact someone at the college. Even if the delay is normal, it’s good to clarify it anyway and if it’s actually a mistake you’ll be glad you contacted them. There’ll most likely be contact information on the school’s website, like a phone number and an email, so you can just ask them about it through that.
I am not sure about how to accept a waitlist offer but, my friend got waitlisted also and she hasn’t heard from them. I think they will wait to get all transcripts reviewed from those that got accepted and they also have to see the number of students that actually accepted the offer versus those who rejected it since many who applied do not have CSULB as their first choice. Then they will send out acceptance notices to the waitlisted.
Fyi, my friend called and they told her that waitlisted students will get notices near the end of May.
Good Luck!
There is no essay to write. If you did not receive an email then contact the Admissions office. My daughter received an email with instructions on how to accept or decline the waitlist offer.
