UC Davis Class of 2029 Waitlist and Appeals Discussion

Yes, I should’ve copied that sentence.

Do they have data showing how many % students going to UCs in S. Cal are from N. Cal and vice versa? (or by calculation: 100% - % of students within ~200mile radius). UC Davis is > 100 miles from San Jose.

Not that I am aware of. The admissions by source school could provide that info but would take a while to compile.

It seems they haven’t admitted from the waitlist since May 6. In the past years, I think they admitted more students shortly after the deadline for the earlier admitted students to accept/deny. Could this mean they are not going to admit any more students from the waitlist this year?

These are the admit dates for the last 3 years and they have gone into June.

2022: 1 wave on May 5. Closed on June 10. 2022.
2023: Admits April 18, May 9, May 23, June 1. Denials on June 21 and 28.
2024: May 21, May 30, June 4, June 13, June 24.

I am not willing to speculate but there is a trickle down effect as the other UC’s pull from their waitlists, more spots will open up. Until they officially close the waitlist, there is always a chance.

but keep in mind last year the SIR date was 5/15, not 5/1.

True, but previous years with a May 1 SIR deadline, they have still gone into June for the waitlist.

The UC Davis Class of 2029 waitlist and appeals process allows students to remain in consideration for admission or to request a reevaluation of their application. Much like , success in this phase depends on presenting a clear, compelling narrative—whether in a personal statement or appeal letter—that highlights your unique strengths and potential.

I hope your son got off the waitlist! We went through this last year (it’s grueling in CA) - my son was waitlisted at 4 CA schools. He was accepted off WL to UCD and has had a great year! We can’t imagine him anywhere else. It does seem to work out in the end.

My S24 also was also accepted off UCD waitlist! It was about a week after the deadline (May 15 last year), so just chiming in, good luck to your kids!

will there be another in state wave or will this be like 2022 with only one wave…

Seems like a repeat of 2022, it’s been almost three weeks since the last wave, if they were gonna do another wave it probs would have happened by now :broken_heart:

Actually lowkey I’m reinvigorated with hope, 2022 was the 2021-2022 school year which was online due to Covid, the in person return was not guaranteed and as a result the ucs most likely did not pull from the waitlist as much. So I dknt expect them to do one wave again.

wouldn’t the wave have come by now though..?

Is it time to give up?

There is always a chance until they officially close the waitlist but since there has not been any movement since May 6, you need to get in the mindset that your current school is the one you should be focusing on now.

have there been any mech e acceptances/rejections from the waitlist?

There have been no rejections from the waitlist and I have not seen any posts of admitted ME students from the waitlist.

Pls share if you have heard anything. We’re hoping to hear soon for DS wait listed. Counting down to the final 2 wks.

Thanks!

still nothing?
