UCSB Class of 2024 Discussion

I got waitlisted. Does anyone know how they handle the waitlists and how many people got accepted from the waitlist last year? Is it randomized or based on stats?

Website says Admission Status: Waitlist Applicant

Does it mean I am waitlisted for my 1st choice major or 2nd choice major

denied :frowning: It says portal is closed rn and will open again at 3:17…

Waitlist. 4.14 UC GPA, 32 ACT. Pre-Biology major. Time for some more waiting

rejected 1550 Sat 4.7 sophmore-junior gpa (weighed) 4.0 Unweighted

Since when did UCSB become more competitive?!?! I remember people from my school getting in last year with 3.6 GPA’s and 1160 SAT scores. I got in for Computer Engineering

I got accepted, but does anyone know when decisions for CCS come out? I thought they’d be out alongside the regular decisions based on what the CCS website says:
