UC San Diego Class of 2029 Waitlist and Appeal Discussion

My son just got off waitlist from UCI, but he still wants to wait for UCSD.

anyone got off waitlist in UCSD?

Nothing so far.

What does it mean for waitlist to go into August? Does it for releasing spots to be got off or closing the window?

I’m afraid your question is difficult to follow. Can you rephrase it?

Confirmed with admission via email recently, the waitlist will stay open until August, likely mid August. Between now until August, UCSD will either accept more kids off the waitlist, depending on what major is still not full, then in August, the waitlist will officially close and rejections will go out via email. Be happy with the school you’re committed to, the likely hood of getting off the waitlist from now to August is slim to nothing.

Now that UCOP published the 2025 admissions summary, will there not be anymore waitlist movement??

The link does state the following:
Fall 2025 UC Undergraduate Preliminary Admissions Summary

So since these are still preliminary numbers, those numbers can change if more waitlist admits are posted. Until UCSD officially closes the waitlist, there is always a slim chance but not something I would count on.

I so on a reddit post that people got an email saying they are extending the waitlist throughout august but I don’t know if that’s for transfer students since I’m not one but I never got any email from UCSD do I need to subscribe to some email or something like that I opted into the waitlist but didn’t get any sort of email .

The reddit post was for Transfers.

thank you

it’s been a while since i opted out of the waitlist but i just wanted to hop in and say that im rooting for you guys. and if ucsd doesn’t end up taking anyone else from the waitlist, you’ll definitely find a place in the college that you are committed to :slight_smile:

Thank you. I am in state but have committed to cheer for the Longhorns until a miracle happens. I’m sure you have a great time at UC Riverside.
All the best.

My son just received an update today from UCSD on his waitlist fate and it’s a no :cry: Fortunately, he’s happy with the school he’s already committed to and was able to early on set his mind to move forward once he knew he was waitlisted at UCSD. Anyways, just wanted to wish everyone good luck, have fun (both parents and kids!), and hopefully there are more admits that come from the waitlist! Sending positive vibes!

Hey you guys I recently just got an email saying that my waitlist decision has been updated, however, when i signed into my applicant portal and checked I saw no changes? Any advice on what to do?

My son also got an update on the waitlist. Didn’t make it to the structural engineering major

So there wasn’t an official status update change that was shown when logging into the portal. But rather, the overall messaging changed saying that its a ā€œnoā€ on the waitlist rather than before it stated my son was waitlisted. Hope that makes sense.

If you don’t mind me asking, is your son a transfer student? Thank you.
I’m a transfer student on the waitlist. On 7/31/25, I received a letter from UCSD stating that the transfer waitlist will remain open after July 31, 2025. Since then, I have not heard anything yet or received any changes on my portal.

He is not a transfer student. Good luck to you!
