Waitlisted Anthropology Geography.

Hey, do a lot of people usually get waitlisted at SLO? Because I have a pretty low GPA and was surprised to see that I was waitlisted today. Although I do have a very steep upward trend in GPA, I’m not sure if that matters much.

Did you check the stats on the top page of this discussion?

Congratulations! Did she receive an email about it or was she just checking her portal?

S24 was waitlisted for software engineering. It’s a small program so it’s not surprising. He’ll decline to go on the waitlist (at least not complete the survey) and hopefully that helps someone else. Good luck everyone I hope your kids do well wherever they land, I appreciated this discussion thread.
