It could also be a good thing because if there is space, it could mainly be for in state students
Hope so. Because for transfers, English has one of the highest admit rates too.
Unfortunately I donât know for sure, however I think thereâs a good chance thereâs more who just didnât post online (thereâs about 20-30 frequent posters on this thread, so thereâs probably more people than that who got off the waitlist or who are on the waitlist)
Really no way to know, my wishful thinking would get me to believe that theyâre holding space for in-state students (also could just be people arenât posting like I said earlier)
Np. Iâve been tracking this thread for entire day, none of them is in SSE.
Yes, either way I hope it is not that the major is full. That would be heartbreaking because it means there was never even a chance
I heard the rumor, someone called UCSD admissions , and was told they might not need waitlist at all this year, the waitlisted will not receive decision before August. I hope itâs not the case for UCLA. Never mind, another people called and was told different timeline.
Remember that L and S doesnât admit by major, so it shouldnât matter that you havenât seen English yet. Hopefully, because there are so many more in-state admits and applicants, it just takes them a little longer to comb through all those applications and determine where the gaps are. A lot of todayâs admits do seem to be L and S.

I also donât think an operator can comment on that. Probably just a rumor.
I was looking at last years thread, and there was a wave on May 6, then not another until May 25. Oh boy⊠I am really hoping this is not the case this year.
Did the May 6 wave specify if the admits in that wave were IS or OOS?
I believe they were a mix, but they were not strictly OOS and International as we saw today for sure!
To add onto that, it would be unfair to make in-state students wait that long for a second wave that would include them, especially after all the delays this year. Was hoping the 3-day period would allow things to move quicker, but guess they scraped that.
Ah I see, I guess theyâre trying things differently this year.

Iâm just going to expect them to release the IS wave next week when the OOS deadline passes. If I could wait for 2 months, I guess I can wait for another week
Same, I just hate thinking about how log this could really get dragged on for. In 2022, though, I think I remember seeing some admits on both May 2 and May 3 (close apart) so who knows what they choose to do. It would be ideal if they do IS tomorrow morning, LOL.

Honestly, I think all bets are off only as far as timing of waiting-list admissions is concerned, if today is a harbinger.
Hereâs why: This is an extraordinary year in college admissions for several reasons, the most significant of which is the FAFSA debacle. But there are other factors worth knowing about, if for no other reason than to get a sense of how much larger this is than any of us and how all of it is truly beyond our control after that waitlist opt-in form was submitted by April 15.
If youâre curious about those factors, search for the following articles: "2024 Was the Year That Broke College Admissionsâ in the New York Times, âCollege Decision Day is Even More Brutal This Yearâ in Bloomberg and âItâs a Chaotic Year for College Admissionsâ in Axios.
The universities are trying to create order out of the unprecedented perfect storm of changes happening in the admissions landscape.
The one thing we can count on, based on previous yearsâ data, is that in general, a majority of students coming off the waitlist will be in-state (mostly above 70% since 2014), followed by OOS, then international. That data point hasnât changed much and it will likely stay in the range for 2024-25. This can be found at apb.ucla.edu/campus-statistics/admissions
Yes, thereâs the feeling of being in limbo while others are celebrating admission to a dream university, especially when a lot of people are curious about where one is going to college.
No matter the outcome in the days ahead, major props go to the seniors who filled out that waitlist form with their LOCI and current grades, for trying and not giving up.

Great post! I was just speaking to my family about this⊠how this year is truly unprecedented and that we canât look too closely at the âtrendsâ we saw in years past (even though I have been going crazy looking at them regardless LOL). And yes, being waitlisted is NOT easy, and as you said, regardless of what happens, props to those who even opted in and gave it their all!
