Wow. There are so many applicants with amazing academic stats who are getting rejected or waitlisted. Competition is indeed brutal for the incoming class of 2023.
Waitlisted LSA but I will decline. Now to choose between UCLA or UCB.

@sushiritto I have went around and asked as many people as I could so you could have more data. I am from an in-state public feeder school if it matters.
5 Rejections from LSA
1 Waitlist from LSA (me)

That’s all I’ve collected so far. I’ll keep updating you so you can have more data.
Four of my daughter’s friends who were deferred from LSA have yet to hear. That seems high relative to what we think we know about past years, but I’m also not sure the signal-to-noise ratio in this data is very high.
Good SAT GPA. still rejected - are you Asian?
@Crivelo Thanks! One question, those stats you just supplied, are they just from this one wave or are they accumulative throughout the entire process? I’ll wait several days or so and then go back through and calculate the numbers.

This wave appears different than prior years. CoE appeared to release first and then LSA. I think once you add in the LSA stats, we’ll see that this year is similar to last year, meaning more appplicants were wailisted and rejected than accepted. I think last year’s acceptance rate here on CC for this wave was around 20% and we may be right there once LSA is added in.
For waitlisted candidates, seriously, you may get off the waitlist in days or it may take as long, worst case, as late June or early July. Yes, the Ivy League, UCLA, Cal, ND, etc. affect decisions for everyone. These decisions are being made now and over the couple of weeks. Just hold on. Just look at some threads here on CC. I saw one student now deciding between UMich, Tulane and ND. It’s a game of musical chairs right now.
Oof my apologies, those statistics are only for this most recent wave.
@Crivelo Add another rejection to LSA.

OOS CA rejected. Checked the portal at 10 PST. Was deferred
OOS deferred in December, sent LOCI with “best” response back in January, LSA waitlisted today…4.0 Michigan GPA, Top half percentile SAT, maxed out available APs at top-ranked high school in our state, all-state varsity athlete/academic all-American in her sport, top-rated summer academic residency program in our state, etc.
I suppose waitlist is better than a denial, but speaks to the brutality that the college admissions process has become.
Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! For those who haven’t, you are going to do great things elsewhere!

She said she will not accept wait list offer.
Rejected (nursing) according to my portal but I have received no formal letter or email? Not even an email notifying me that my decision was ready- I just happened to be checking the portal. I am really upset. Michigan was my top school and it was pretty much the only place I saw myself going. Do they have an appeals process?
D rejected OOS for LSA. Good GPA/test scores, ECs, and essays, 3x legacy, plus made all-state team for a varsity sport. Stats on application virtually identical to her sibling, who is currently a UM junior in LSA. Sad but moving on.
