UC Santa Barbara Freshman Class of 2028 Waitlist/Appeals Discussion

Does anyone have any color on why so many people came off the waitlist last year, it seems like more than usual.

Also, maybe related, but it looks like the male/female split was even greater last year, about 1900 men and 3000 women. The school is 9000/12000 in total, but that is not the same as a 2:3 ratio from the incoming class listed in the 2023-2024 CDS.

Thank you!
