Last year the acceptance rate off the waitlist was 56.8% which is pretty high honestly. I was waitlisted for engineering and did not get into my second choice major of physics. I accepted my position on the waitlist, will I most likely be considered for physics?
I have heard of a number of people who got rejected from ucsb a few years back for their first choice major but accepted for their second choice major in the college of Letters and Science.
If I didn’t get in for my alternate major, does that mean I wasn’t qualified in the first place? I got into ucd and ucsc for engineering and ucsd in the letters of science. Would it be okay to email ucsb asking them to consider my alternative major in L & S for the waitlist?
