Yes so ridiculous. Didn’t think to get accepted by any UC. On waitlist for SB and Berk. Off the SB waitlist a couple of weeks ago. But got accepted/offered multiple out of state and public and private. Crazy, eh?

Still haven’t heard anything. Safe to say I won’t get off or is there a chance

Math L&S

Our kid was accepted off the UCSB waitlist in May for Psychological and Brain Sciences (3.96 UW/4.48 W, lots of ECs/leadership). Although UCSB was their original dream school, ended up going with Cal Poly. I think the waitlist delay offered time to get attached to CP and affected their ultimate decision. Both great schools.

Did anyone else get put on 3 plus UC waitlists and not get into one? I’m praying my D24 gets off of at least one by mid-July!
