UCSD waitlist has not been released yet.
I have a really good friend who was accepted into UCLA and UCSD and I got waitlisted at UCSD-That is the context. My counselor told me that I can have him refer me to the admission office about my qualifications. Can this boost my chances and iS this appropriate? I am so confused and overwhelmed right now. Also do they accept LOCIs?
@Pokamolodoy: A recommendation from an admitted student will not help your chances and UCSD does not accept LOCI’s. By opting into the waitlist shows your interest in UCSD.
THANKS!!!
anyone hear back from ucsd waitlist ?
If almost everyone from your school who got accepted reject UCSD’s offer, does that help your chances
Is it true UCSD usually releases waitlist before May 1st? If so, what day do you guys predict?
A lot of schools have began releasing waitlists. Northeastern last week, UMich, UCSB, UCD there past couple days. I feel like UCSD might follow
Does anyone know how UCSD evaluates who gets off? Like if there is a spot open for your major will they review your application or is it more rank-based?
UCSD does not rank. It admits based on major openings. You will be considered through a lottery system. Most will receive “Undeclared” spots if their major is very popular (like CS).
Wait how do you know it’s a lottery system? I thought they rereview your application.
@repaihe23r1ivers Wait how do you know it’s a lottery system? I thought they rereview your application.
any prediction dates on waitlist offers?
I sure hope it is today!
Any reason why it would be today?
Just wishful thinking and I know decisions often come out on Fridays. But wait lists may be different.
Last week they came out the last Friday of April around 4:30pm so I guess that does make sense. I hope they come out soon! I wonder how their yield is being affected. Is UCSD a big school for OOS/International like UCLA or Cal? I
Last year not last week*
@homosapiens was it like that every year before that? Or just last year? Maybe there’s a pattern we can predict.
@phatdoggo it seems like they tend to release around 4:30.
