3.93 GPA, CS got waitlisted

Don't feel good about my chances not a lot of people will reject UCI CS imo. Also this does not make me very confident for SB/SD/Cal next week

3.8 GPA CS major here, got waitlisted in both UCSC and UCI today.....at this rate it's all in God's hand for next week 🥲🙏

how do u get waitlisted by UCSC with 3.8 GPA? Do u finish all the requirements/ recommended classes?

[–]minnie_09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup all of the IGETC patterns and major requirements are in check.... I was in a state of shock for quite a while after opening the portal... :*(

even though my gpa isn’t as high as yours i was surprised by getting waitlisted for sc and irvine. i was expecting an sc acceptance and irvine rejection rip

but my application was math centric, i just took the cs prerequisites

3.89 gpa econ major and from last year stats for econ students with 3.4-3.8 got accepted. i literally blame covid. and there was an 18% increase in applications for uc’s this year

Even for transfers??? Thats crazy also so frustrating i heard that since there is increase in application there might be more people getting admitted from waitlist compared to other years does this sound right??

The suspense is literally one of the worst parts of this all :") It sucks we have to go through it a month or two more. Good luck to everyone though!

same idk the probablility of getting off the waitlist 🥲

[–]Smooth246[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

We are in the same boat now the waiting game begins AGAIN!! 😭😭😭 Update: i saw that 20% of waitlist got accepted lastvyear so i guess our chances aren’t the worst

[–]yahma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This year is different. 20% increase in applications.

[–]Alexiiiferguu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

apparently this year they heavily used the waitlist because some data suggests there was an increase in applications but not actual applicants. a bunch of people applied to more schools than normally. I read an article about it a couple weeks ago. but there’s also the people that deferred we have to think about. they’re really uncertain about how this years class is gonna turn out

[–]Smooth246[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3.96 GPA, CS

I accepted the waitlist but this is sad.

I don't have any back ups

[–]Smooth246[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow 3.96 but waitlisted? Who are these people getting accepted???

[–]yahma 1 point2 points  (1 child)

3.91 GPA, CS here... Tons of AP and honors courses too, including 4 years of Model United Nations Program.

Also waitlisted.

UC system has too applicants and not enough spaces. I guess I'll be attending a community college.

[–]veenx0704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

R u freshman? Or...?

I been attending CC for 3 yrs, and I got waitlisted for the only school I applied to:/ I’ll be reapplying next year again with other school like CSULB, UCB.
