English!

does anyone have an estimate for how many people were waitlisted this year? Also is there any in state vs out of state breakdown for numbers of waitlisted students?

They’ll probably release it sometime in September! Hopefully we get in tomorrow
 :slight_smile:

No data on waitlisted students based on residency and the numbers waitlisted are not as important as the number which opt into the waitlist.

For the last few years, about 10-12K students opted into the waitlist.

anyone have any updates today?

Nope, nothing. If they haven’t started admitting off the waitlist, I’m very confused as to what the point of the message in the red box was

I think last year, when they accepted about 1,400 out of 12,000, is the highest its gonna get tbh. I doubt it’ll be any higher this year, unless FAFSA delays really pose a huge problem

Hoping it will be around 1400 this year

do u think a similar amount of people opted in this year? or is it more

Yes, this is the data for the last 3 years.

Waitlist 2023 (UC Counselor Conference) and CDS:

Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 18329
Number accepting a place on the waitlist 11725
Number of waitlisted students admitted 1400

2022 Waitlist data from Common Data set:
Offers: 16979
Opt ins: 11169
Admits: 367

2021 data:
Number of qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 15242
Number accepting a place on the waiting list: 9897
Number of wait-listed students admitted: 214

It seems like less out of state students are committing this year, plus I wonder if they accepted less oos this year than usual since last years oos yield was so high.

OOS yield was 33%, International was 34% and CA residents was 59% so not sure why you state OOS is high for last year.

2022 OOS Yield was also 33% and 2021 was 29%.

Also, just based on social media, classmates etc
 you cannot predict in-state yield will be lower than last year.

By high I mean 33% oos yield was higher than past years where it has stuck on around 25%. In my noticings, I just mean that in and around schools around me, less students have been admitted and those who have been admitted are predominantly going to Ivy League schools. In past year there were typically 2-3 kids going to ucla per school, but this year it’s more like zero. This is just my noticings.

This information that you gave is what I’m referring to.

I agree with this. A lot of people that have gotten into UCLA this year are committing to ivy leagues. Not saying this will impact the yield rate this year, but just an observation.

“2022: 25%
2021: 29%
2020: 25%
2019: 25%

So 33% for 2023 has been the highest yield for the last 5 years”

Is this information incorrect? Because this says 2022 oos yield was 25% not 33%

According to the UCOP Data for Non-residents:

2021: 4619 admitted/ 1354 enrolled = 29%

2022: 3084 admitted/ 1028 enrolled= 33%

2023: 2840 admitted/ 922 enrolled= 32.5%= round up 33%

so the data u originally gave was incorrect?
