UCLA Freshman decisions will be posting within the next few weeks so I have started the Waitlist/Appeal Discussion thread.
2024 Waitlist timeline: Thursday May 16 AM admits for OOS/International L&S. Friday May 17, In-state and some OOS Engineering. May 21, In-state L&S and Public Health majors, May 25 International, OOS and in-state admits. June 1 IS L&S admits, June 2 International CS/EE/ME, Public health. Few admits June 4 L&S. June 6 few admits. June 14, June 26, July 11 OOS, July 15 IS/International. Rejections on July 31.
Below is some previous years data and information regarding the Waitlist and Appeal process. The Waitlist admits will vary from year to year, so there is no way to gauge your chances of being admitted.
Last year, UCLA allowed the waitlisted students to submit a waitlist statement with new accomplishments and updated Senior grades.
AO’s say their selections are generally a continuation of the regular admission process, with consideration given to students’ original scores from application readers and whether their intended areas of study fill enrollment holes that year along with the waitlist essay and updated course/grades.

General Waitlist Information:
- UC Waitlists are not ranked and it is not first in, first admitted.
- There is no way to determine your chances from being admitted off the waitlist. It will be depend upon how many admitted students SIR and how many spots are open after the deadline.
- No specific timeline for waitlist admits. If space opens up before the SIR deadline of May 1, then students can be pulled from the waitlist.
- Residency type and major are not broken out for the UC waitlist statistics.
- The number of waitlisted students that actually enroll is not listed.
- No LOCI’s since UC’s do not consider demonstrated interest. Opting into the waitlist shows your interest in attending.
- Opting into the waitlist is by invitation only.
- You cannot appeal your decision while on the waitlist.
- UCLA did accept waitlist statements and Senior grade updates
