UC Santa Cruz Freshman Class of 2028 Waitlist/Appeal Discussion

thank you for this insight! i guess its over for me then haha

thank you!

Is it safe to say as a comp engineering major, not much hope should be given of getting off the waitlist? Also would a LOI be to late in the process now of changing their minds?

UC Santa Cruz does not accept LOR’s from waitlisted students. Until you get a denial and they close the waitlist, there is always a chance to be admitted.

just got admitted today from waitlist for cogsci. good luck to all

Daughter on WL still :frowning: applied as an English major alternative was a film and digital media, also committed for a sport there but haven’t heard anything from admissions yet seems like we’ve all given up and are looking at her alternative as we already have everything set up there, any word if there are spots still available for WL?

Really sorry to know this. We’re in the same boat, unfortunately. The girls are strong and I know they’ll get through this. Let’s not give up yet!

What major?

Could it be like the last time where they rejected everyone accidentally? Im rejected for comp sci too

I really hope it was accidental because I wanted to attend this year.

I received email from UCSC that they will release the decision in order of last name from 4:00pm to 9:00pm.
I checked the portal. They already released the decision (rejection). It’s ok. I already committed the better college. Bye UCSC.

Oh no. Has there been a single acceptance today so far or should we expect all rejections


I think that UCSC will close the admission today! According to the email, we will receive the decision of admission or rejection.
