<p>From what I can make out, a lot of students are going to turn down Davis for other schools (the >2300ers all over this board). Being waitlisted is a good thing really.</p>
<p>Check this bit I found on the web: “If space becomes available in the entering freshman class, some students from the waiting list will be admitted after May. Last year, UC Davis had about 1,500 students on the waiting list and offered admission to about 600. About 350 enrolled at UC Davis for fall 2010.”</p>
<p>Also, dubious, but: [Ms</a>. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog - UCD Waitlist Practice (NOT Verified)](<a href=“Error”>Error)</p>
<p>So that gives you a pretty good chance.</p>
