UCSD Class of 2021 Waitlist (Freshmen)

This is somewhat surprising. Last years many in state kids got off WL in the first week or two. I’d think with the new CSE transfer policy fewer UD kids would SIR and so free up space for WL. It’s possible that UCSD is trying to handle over enrollment/large class size issue which has caused its ranking dropped (among other negatives from it) in the past few years.
