@honcho did you get the 200 word waitlist prompt request?
@davisforlyfe Yes I did. I plan on waiting for UCSD’s admission decision though to decide if I want to go for the wait list for UCD (I did Bio w/ spec. in Bioinformatics at UCSD which is a BioSci Major, so I may have better luck there).
In order to send them that prompt, they want me to accept their wait list offer.
@Aquariumgal I got into Davis as well! No news from UCSD… getting nervous and annoyed
Do you guys think silence from UCSD right now means we’ve been rejected??
It seems like everyone who’s heard in the past few hours has been accepted…no rejects/waitlists yet…

@humanperson @jhagen216 @Wesk9797 What was the exact wording of admissions on the website.
“MyAdmissions – Status: You Are Admitted!”
And in the email, it says the following:
Congratulations! You have been admitted to the University of California, Davis, for fall quarter 2016. We are excited to welcome you to our community, introduce you to limitless possibilities and help you apply your unique vision to the future. Look for your official admission letter in the mail, along with additional information about how UC Davis students are reimagining the world.
Did davis give financial aid information right now?
