S25 accepted to UC Davis for Anthropology major with only 3.83 UC GPA, while 2 years ago his sister D23 was waitlisted for humanities undeclared with a higher GPA over 4.0. She quickly came off the waitlist in 2 weeks and was also accepted to Berkeley. So I really don’t know how UCs make their decisions. It is really random in my opinion.

It is rolling admission for the waitlist. And according to previous years, there is a good chance of 40% to get accepted from the waitlist.
