<p>I checked my decision ten minutes ago and turns out I got waitlisted.</p>
<p>I have decent ecs (11 years dance, life scout, 8 years piano, 6 years guitar, varsity parliamentary debate, 300~ volunteer hours, job as a tutor, etc.), decent essay and recs, 3.8 gpa uw (4.2 w), 2240 sat, 35 act, and 790 biom/790 ush/760 math2.</p>
<p>Where did I go wrong???</p>
<p>are you in state?</p>
<p>Yah, me too. I’m waitlisted too, sigh… 3.6gpa and 1950 sat, live in CA</p>
<p>@syndragore, The more I have seen these blogs and chats on college applications, I cannot help but think that it is also a matter of luck. There seems to be no set formula to figure out who gets in. I am sorry you are wait-listed but then there is still a good chance you will get in perhaps tomorrow…so keep the hope and faith.</p>
<p>in state, bay area</p>
<p>@syndragore: What major are you applying to? My son is also waitlisted for bioengineering. The competition is fierce, so hang in there. Good luck to you!!</p>
<p>@syndragore. I’m sure you did nothing wrong! Yes, to which major did you apply? Also, maybe the admission folks at Davis thought they were your safety school so they are playing a wait-and-see game? Where else did you apply?</p>
<p>I’m waitlisted too 
in state that means i’m prob going to get rejected from everywhere else…great…</p>
<p>biological sciences )=</p>
<p>Waitlisted as well, I’m pretty disappointed. I hope the acceptance rate for the people waitlisted is quite high</p>
<p>I was thrilled that I got wailisted, until I found out that someone who had lower stats than me got in.</p>
<p>The site says we have to wait until May 1st to know, lovely.</p>
<p>Waitlisted isn’t the worse thing that could have happened to me.
I’m pretty sure my SAT let me down as it’s an 1800.
My gpa is a 3.85 and I’m from instate, I accepted the waitlist offer and hopefully the consider my fall semester grades because I had over a 4.0 GPA.
Varsity sports all 4 years but limited volunteer hours.
Davis is the only UC i applied to so thank god I didn’t waste $70 bucks on all the others to get a rejection letter.
I went in with an undecided major so I’m hoping that’s not a disadvantage to get off the waitlist Oh well, we shall see what happens!</p>
<p>Honestly, don’t feel bad about your SAT’s/ACT’s score. I just found out a girl from my school who had 1200-1300’s on her SAT got into UCD. x_x I don’t know how to feel, since I got waitlisted and she got in. Along with that, she had two D’s and had to retake the course. I feel like everything is so unfair, but I guess this is life.</p>
<p>It’s such a crapshoot. Oh well, it’s not the be all end all, I’ve already been accepted to 2 colleges but my counselors told me I would easily get into Davis so that’s why I applied :/</p>
<p>For those of you who got waitlisted with exceptional stats like OP, what was the rigor of your senior courses?</p>
<p>Anyone know the acceptance rate for wait listed people?</p>
<p>@syndragore</p>
<p>Your stats are definitely qualified enough. However, now it just seems like the essay hurt you.</p>
<p>@saykar, last year none of the UCD waitlisted students got accepted :x
