Hey everyone, I’m currently still on the waitlist. Has anyone heard anything new, since it is now after May 1st? Does anyone have any idea when the first wave of acceptances come out for the room that clears up after the SIR deadline?
Hey! I heard that UCLA started letting IS students off, has anyone heard anything from Santa Cruz? And do you think they’re gonna let more people than normal off due to COVID-19
Hopefully the first wave will happen this week. It’s hard to tell if more students will be accepted off waitlist. Visas for international students are unclear so that may open up spots. But, some students are choosing to stay closer so home so that may increase CA acceptance of offers. Wishing everyone luck:)
When did waitlists come out in 2019?
Last year the first round was sent out May 10th
I am currently on the waitlist too and I was wondering if admissions base your chances of getting in by stats or wherever you are on the waiting list. Also, for provisional acceptances, do they look at the end of your semester 2 grades or wherever your grades happen to be when they check? Hopefully they take in more students due to covid though
I’m not sure if it’s by stats or where we are, but I do know that they look at end of semester 2 grades 
good luck everyone!!

Hi! Super stressing out about UCSC, I’m on the waitlist with a 3.9 GPA and 1100 SAT score. It’s a little unclear to me if the waitlist is ranked or if this is purely based on luck. And I am wondering if most schools are getting more students off the waitlist because of COVID-19. Due to deferring and general uncertainty if school is starting in person this fall. And since “getting off the waitlist” will last until mid-June, does that mean there will be more rejections at the end of May/early June? Or is that just something hard to predict? I applied for the film program but even in past forums, I don’t see a lot of info about people getting off the waitlist for any “artsy” majors so I’m a little worried about that. Anyways, congrats to everyone who did get off the waitlist! This is a super helpful forum :^)
Hi everyone! I was accepted off the waitlist today for human biology! I will most likely be declining so hopefully that opens a spot for someone else. Good luck to everyone!

My son accepted off of the waitlist. He received an email at 4:20 PM.
CS Major, UCGPA 3.95, SAT 1490. 7 Aps. Good EC’s
Just got off the waitlist at around 4 pm! I wrote an appeal about my senior year grades improving significantly, but that got denied. Uc weighted gpa: 3.67, SAT: 1300, major: marine bio, strong essays, good amount of extra curriculars. Feeling #boss rn. Gl to everyone still on the waitlist - 62% got off the waitlist last year and I except that this year even more are going to be accepted from the waitlist due to covid.
