Institutional priorities are the specific needs and goals that colleges consider when shaping their incoming class. These priorities vary from school to school and can change from year to year. The priorities reflect a college’s mission, financial needs, diversity goals, first generation, geographic representation and athletic recruitment to name a few.

i saw on the class of 2025 thread that ucsd picks people at random within departments that need more space. is this still true?

would major be one of them? i know some colleges say that they don’t look at major but if a major is more niche or has less people than another more popular major, would that affect who gets off the waitlist?

124

Yes major is also a consideration but not the only consideration.

Any info on when appeal decisions come out?

126

just found out the bio department is no longer capped. hopefully this means it’ll be easier for bio majors to get off the waitlist!

127

Appeal decisions have came out (atleast for me). I was rejected

Here! This has always been, and remains my son’s first choice. He will have to commit somewhere on Wednesday but will 100% accept an admission offer if he gets one.

I edited/removed my post because I realized this is the thread for WL and appeal and that it was more appropriate for another thread. my apology!

137

i apologize if this question has been asked before, but are we still guaranteed housing if we get off the waitlist?

138

Yes
