<p>[UCLA</a> sends mistaken congrats to 894 applicants and then apologizes - latimes.com](<a href=“Archive blogs”>Archive blogs)</p>
<p>It means approximately 1,000 students wait listed by UCLA. How a simple math UCLA use to calculate the number of wait list they need to secure the seats safely. 5800/15600= last year yield; 5400/x where x is the number of students they need to admit to fill 5400 seats based on the yield rate of last year. x~14,600. wait list number = 72,600-57,000 ( reject ) -14,600=1,000 Bingo. ha. They used to admit 15,600 to fill 5400 seats. last year’s high yield made them change the admitted number to 14,600. God bless all wait list students.</p>
<p>thats me ^ :[</p>
<p>wow…</p>
<p>I’m on the waitlist, but I didn’t get this email…hmm</p>
<p>You prob. didn’t apply for financial aid.</p>
<p>There are definitely more than 1,000 on the waitlist. The 894 or however many it says in the article is just the people whose financial aid awards changed.</p>
<p>Oops. Here’s the article in the Washington Post. [UCLA</a> mistakenly congratulates nearly 900 applicants on getting in _ when they didn’t - The Washington Post](<a href=“http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/higher-education/ucla-mistakenly-congratulates-nearly-900-applicants-on-getting-in-_-when-they-didnt/2012/04/11/gIQAEOSi9S_story.html]UCLA”>http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/higher-education/ucla-mistakenly-congratulates-nearly-900-applicants-on-getting-in-_-when-they-didnt/2012/04/11/gIQAEOSi9S_story.html)</p>
<p>I think there are more than 1,000 people on the waitlist. I’m on it and my financial aid did change, but I didn’t get the wrong congratulations letter.</p>
<p>You are right. There are 2,900 students wait-listed by UCLA. So the chance off the wait list seems hmm…</p>
