Not really, he stayed in CA for 3 months last year.

wishing u luck! ucla is pretty strict with requiring a student to have established residency in California for a year
Although the UCās make admission decisions independently of each other and do not know the status of each applicants status until all decisions are posted, when you SIR to any UC, the UC system does know you have enrolled.
Just like the UC system knows that students that are not admitted into any UCās, their application is forwarded to UC Merced for ELC eligible students.
Even students getting off the waitlist are notified that they must withdraw their original UC SIR within a few days of accepting a UC waitlist offer.
All public schools are very strict with state residency declaration, we gonna fight and make it happen. I have to cover partial of his college expense, and I have one more potential bear.
If he hasnāt been a resident for over a year or been financially independent for over two years, unfortunately there is nothing that can be done. They require documentation of california tax forms, licenses and proof of intended residency to even consider in state tuition.

Heās financially independent for more than one year, at least he can file FA as independent student next year. He has special circumstances, will appeal the FA decision this year.
100% on point.
Could not agree with this opinion more. Whether or not one has the financial resources to afford paying for multiple SIRs, every 2nd SIR submitted as a backup takes a spot away from someone on the waitlist.
And is the double-registering really worth the risk of the universities finding out and rescinding an offer?
But this is really about ethics - doing the right thing and not taking away from others - in a situation where one already has great options.

If the UCs have visibility to each other after a student commits can that affect the studentās chances on the waitlist?
For example, an OOS student who has committed to another UC campus is less likely to get off a waitlist than an OOS student who hasnāt committed to any UCs since the UCs as a whole know they already have that full pay tuition in the bank?
Or a student who has committed to a less selective UC is looked at less favorably?
Realize this may sound a little paranoid but just trying to understand the UC system since it is so distinct.
This might be a silly question, but do you think UCLA waiting longer to begin pulling from the waitlist this year, in comparison to other years, has any implications (good or bad news for waitlisted students, what it could mean)?
We need to know if UC A knows the student who is on their waitlist already committed to UC B? Does the waitlist student at UC A has disadvantage to get off waitlist if he committed to UC B?
Please advise.
I think it might be bad news. The majority admitted student already got FA package more than 7 days ago, might not see surprising declined offers as they expected this year.
We still hope the best.
Was thinking the sameā¦ last year, they started pulling early, and we saw a good number (13% admitted from waitlist). Praying for the best at this point.
The UC system knows if a student has enrolled in a UC. UCās do not care if the student is on any other UC waitlists and being on multiple waitlists is not taken into consideration nor a disadvantage.

I think UC knows anyone deposited in the school but not uc schools . Because they locate the students who didnāt get into any ucs but top 9% in the school . I guess .

Thanks for your prompt response. My concern is that if UCLA will give a full consideration to someone who already SIRāed to another UC.
For admission purposes the UCās do not talk to each other about individual applicants so they are going to admit students that meet their institutional priorities regardless if they are on multiple waitlists or if they have committed to another UC campus. They all state that a student on the waitlist should SIR to another school until they hear.
The UC system knows whom has enrolled but each campus will not have all the specific information.

I do not think that UCLA not pulling from the waitlist yet is any indication of good or bad news. I have been following UC admissions for many years and some years schools pull early and some years they do not.

I know nothing is certain and you have no inside knowledge, but if you were to guess, it is very likely that we will see at least some movement this week, correct? As it is now the week of May 15.
How can you compare to past years if this is the first year that includes the FAFSA delays and May 15th deadline? (Not trying to be condescending, just curious on this logic)
