Uc san diego waitlist statistics

The economy is improving, but should it take a turn for the worse and students leave school, that, too, could affect waitlist action. Is the economy strong enough?

Who knows? But I do feel confident that we will meet our enrollment goal. But being a member of the waitlist pool can be disheartening. Anika, for instance, has committed to Irvine but is hoping to get off the waitlist at Davis, her top choice because of the green campus environment, highly rated medical school and rich variety of classes that fit her plans for a psychology major. She regards Santa Barbara as the best fit because it offers an elementary education program perfectly suited to her career goals.

She always expected to go to a UC school, she said, with the prestige, the connections, the independence of living in student housing away from home. Accepted students are in the power position this month as competitive colleges try to impress them to say yes in a year of record applications to the University of California and other elite schools.

I feel a greater worth at a school that accepted me, like they value you. For high school teachers and counselors, such stories are becoming more common every year as competition for UC seats intensifies. Sadly, April has become depression month for us now because they get all these rejections. Cyndy McDonald, a Central Valley independent college counselor, said waitlisted students need to face the fact that chances of a UC admission offer are generally low.

The dismay among such students pains UC admission directors, who say that they wait-list only excellent applicants who can succeed at the rigorous public research university, but that state funding controls enrollment sizes. Unlike some private colleges, UC does not rank waitlisted students nor take their ability to pay into account when offering them admission. At UC Davis, for instance, half or more of students wait-listed for religious studies, mathematics, and animal science and management were offered admission last year, a significant increase over Only 1 in 5 students was admitted into some of the most popular majors — managerial economics, computer science and psychology, for instance.

UC Riverside more than quadrupled the number of admission offers to waitlisted students for the College of Engineering last year but reduced the number of offers for School of Education applicants. But students accepting a waitlist offer may be allowed to write a word statement on why they believe the campus in question is the right place for them.

But enrollment prediction — a discipline that aims to meld the science of data analysis with the guesswork of anticipating teenage whims — can be dicey. If not how do the applicants get off the waitlist. Is there some sort of ranking? Thank you! Also many students will be admitted into Undeclared off the waitlist. How hard is to get transferred from one UC to the other? I am sorry we have so many questions. I appreciate your help! Ease of transfer will depend upon her UC GPA at the time of application and completion of all the requirements.

I do not know what all her college options are but I would think she would have some good choices and should focus on attending one of them without already considering transferring out.

Having the mindset to leave before even starting does not allow for the student be vested and integrate into the school. You never know, she may end up liking where ever she attends next Fall and this is all moot. Most high achieving students will do fine no matter where they end up.
