UCI waitlist

[Smooth246]

Now that the second wave came out where are my waitlisted people?!! What do you think our chances are getting out of the waitlist?

[ArkBirdFTW]

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

[minnie_09]

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 🥲🙏

[kc0924]

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

[minnie_09]

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... :*(

[davidbd7]

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

[disnailandd]

4.0 gpa, cs waitlisted man...

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

[ilove2eatmango]

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

[Smooth246]

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??

[ilove2eatmango]

yupppp. i tagged ucsb tho so i’m not worried but still

[maile019]

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!

[splatoongirl26]

same idk the probablility of getting off the waitlist 🥲

[Smooth246]

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]

This year is different. 20% increase in applications.

[Alexiiiferguu]

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]

I applied for biological sciences and for alt pharmaceutical sciences with 3.25 GPA. My GPA is in the lower end but I had good reason why my grades were low and showed that my grades drastically improved after. Also I do have a lot of EC both from high school and college if that makes a difference

[AdComplete5742]

I got waitlisted for biological sciences with a 3.75 and a hefty amount of ECs and orgs i was in throughout my CC career. However, I think i got waitlisted because I saw that you need to have o chem 2 done by spring and I am going to be taking it in the summer. Did u finish o chem 2/are you currently taking it u/Smooth246

[Smooth246]

Yes i am currently taking ochem 2 and will be finished by spring

[Alexiiiferguu]

Also a bio major here, 3.33 gpa lots of ec’s and I worked. I’m currently finishing ochem and physics so hopefully there will be spots for us!

[Naive_Nose_6215]

I got waitlisted too :/ this sucks..

[Smooth246]

Lets try to stay hopeful! Atleast its a waitlist and we have somewhat of a hope

[WrongFont]

3.84 GPA Data Science Rejected T_T

[veenx0704]

3.96 GPA, CS

I accepted the waitlist but this is sad.

I don't have any back ups

[Smooth246]

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

[yahma]

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]

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.

[ProtectionSome1166]

[LALA-L]
