UC San Diego Class of 2029 Waitlist and Appeal Discussion

Do you this waitlist is done? Or they just got lazy this week to look at the data based off their deadline on Wednesday😭 They didn’t do a wave May 2
 so im hoping the wave is bigger next week.

ik this is ucsd forum but I got an email for UCI saying theres a status update at 5 pm but theres no update on my portal

brother it is not done no waitlist is gonna close in two weeks. relax there will be more waves

maybe they’re just pulling a uc berkeley from last year

My D’s friend got off today too. Maybe a small wave? In-state. Psych.

lets say that ucsd had like 1000 spots still needing to be filled. if they released 1000 waitlist acceptances last friday and most people accepted then wouldn’t the waves get smaller each time

ucsd lets in by major spots they need to fill and we still haven’t heard from multiple departments yet. so technically we shouldn’t be done and there will be waves coming

No I do not think the waitlist admits are completed but there is no specific pattern of when they will post their decisions so everyone just needs to be patient and wait for an update.

yo chill just stressed out fr😭 being a waitlist warrior is frustrating but tbh thanks for being optimistic ab it

does anyone have the dropdown burger on the top left of the bar? i don’t have one. idk if there’s any astro with this

how sure are we though that the departments we haven’t heard from yet we will hear from? i feel like it’s possible we aren’t hearing from because they don’t need to be heard from (already reached enrollment targets right off the bat with outright admits committing)?

no one is sure on anything, that’s just how this process goes. what’s the point in considering a worst-case scenario like that tho. Sure, there’s a chance that all of the waitlists could already be out, but there’s also a chance that they release thousands of more people. there’s no point worrying yourself about the worst-case scenario when realistically none of us have an idea of those types of chances. if you really want to get in just keep hoping for the best case and be patient instead of worrying about stuff like that, also ik these forums are good for regular acceptance but i’d lowkey only check it conservatively for when it comes to the waitlist since the process is more stressful and random.

Does anyone know if UCSD admission office looks at the 2nd 1/2 of senior year grade when they make decision if you are off waitlist or not?

No, if they did they would have asked for waitlisted students to update their grades.

Anyone heard back for chem or molecular synthesis? I really want to get in. If no one has heard back does that better my chances or make them worse? Like has the wave just not come out yet or do they not have any spots?

Seeing last Friday’s wave, it was mainly psych or undeclared. I just heard about two people from my class got off 5/16. Hoping they’ll analyze the data based off who committed on Wednesday and have another wave.
