I got waitlisted. I checked my portal a few hours ago and it was pending so it had to have happened recently. Major: biochemistry
I just checked my portal and was admitted for Biology I checked the whole day but my decision was posted now at about 7PM.
I got admitted! I checked my portal at least 12 times today and it said “pending” until the last hour or so. UCSB is my dream school and I cannot even fathom this moment right now!!!
Major: pre-communications
Gpa: 3.15 (low, but I brought it up from below a 2.8 in ONE semester. Also have been on an upward trend of 3.2-3.78 for over a year) (I had to make up for my gpa at a previous CC)
Area: Bay Area
IGETC: completed by end of spring 18’
MAJOR PREP: statistics (passed with an A last semester)
EC: I have been in management since I was 18 years old. Working full time and going to school full time for several years.
P. I ?'s: I explained my hardships (senior year of HS my mom got sick and was out of work for several years) and my passion for building a successful career after obtaining my degree.
Waitlisted around 6:50pm today
Major: History

it’s all well and good I’ve already got accepted to my school of choice. congrats to all!
What are the chances of getting off waitlist ?
Admitted!
Major: History of Art and Architecture
GPA: 3.68; no TAG.
It was pending when I checked yesterday, but I did see a green mark on my financial aid page.
Waitlisted today, but still staying positive
Major: Feminist Studies
UC Gpa: 3.19 (been on an upward curve since December 2016 when I had a 1.96)
Area: Los Angeles
IGETC: completed by end of spring 18’
MAJOR PREP: Completed with all A’s as well as related classes that weren’t prerequisites
EC: I have worked part-time, sometimes with 2 jobs at a time for the last 3 years, volunteer work, and a phd prep program for community college students at ucla
P. I ?'s: I spent a lot of time on my PIQs like months so they were well-thought out because I knew I’d have to compensate for my low gpa and write about my previous academic dismissal. I had a ucla admissions advisor read through a few and she was overall pleased and gave me few things to change.
Hope that helps give people an idea. Congrats to everyone who was admitted and good luck to all the waitlisters!
I got waitlisted today too but it’s better than being fully denied (:
I will still accept my waitlist offer just incase.
Good luck everyone and congratulations to those who got accepted!
Can everyone post their stats? or gpa at least? I have a pretty low gpa still pending and just want to compare and remain hopeful! I’m sure there’s others on the same boat right now. Thanks!
@eggs722 definitly update on how it goes! I’m a history major CSU transfer applicant. I got denied but I’m appealing.
My gpa was 2.98 but I brought it up to a 3.22 over a quarter (which includes a retaken course hence the GPA increase)
I just got waitlisted as of today. My gpa was a 3.0 exactly missing a class for my major prep requirements. Finishing igetc. What does waitlisted mean? Do I have a chance at getting in or?
Just got accepted!!!
Major: pre-biology
GPA: 3.45
Pre-Reqs: Calc 2 and physics remaining
IGETC: Completed
Area: Bay Area
EC: A lot of internships lol
Essays: 8.5/10 I would say
not admitted
Waitlisted for sociology, my uc gpa should be around 3.6
I’m really surprised but also I did not want to go to UCSB so I’m not hurt. Makes me nervous about Davis though.
@Yiiiiiii did you get a waitlist offer?
No, just said not admitted…
Accepted Today!
Major: History
GPA: 3.78
IGETC: Done
Major Prereqs: missing 1
Extra stuff: I’m a one yr transfer cuz of my AP credits I only got one B but it wrecked my GPA cuz it had the most units out of all my classes also I come from a pretty academically competive hs thats known for its magnet program so I feel like that mightve helped with only having one semester of grades to show lastly all my ECs are from hs so with that being said . . .
EC: 150 hr internship at a law firm, participation in my hs magnet program, major leadership position in a non profit, varsity cheer, rubio’s cashier/waitress, and cc honors program
Essays:7.5/10 I dont really know how to measure this lol
I was denied I’m going to appeal
When I clicked on check my financial aid status, all I see is the green check mark even tho I got admitted already. Did the other admitted students today get their financial aid packets already or am I looking in the wrong place?
