2023-2024 UC San Diego

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I feel like it is already over and was minimal. Every other school in California has already had WL movement… happy to eat my words though
I don’t think so. No one on here has gotten off the WL

Movement here last year didn't begin until mid May. They tend to take a while before moving people in

Anyone else in the endless cycle of alternating checking between their email and SDN? 😅

Do we think they'll keep notifying people on Fridays as they were doing for regular decisions? Or do we think it's gonna be randomly whenever they make their decisions lol, i'm slowly going crazy

Personally I think any day or time is fair game but maybe they will be stick with the Fridays but whose to know for sure 🤷‍♀️ ( also don’t worry I’m going crazy too)

do we think movement has happened based on facebook numbers?
 
Somebody else in the thread also sent an email earlier today, so maybe we can just hold off for a couple days to see if the earlier person gets a response?

Looked at other schools Facebook pages and here are some of their numbers

UCLA: class size ~175 with 257 members in the page with 8 new people joining this week and confirmed WL movement on SDN

UCI: class size ~114 with 200 in Facebook with 23 joining this week . Also with confirmed WL movement on SDN

So basically this is just my way of making myself feel better ( and hopefully someone else too) and trying to not stress anymore than already am lol


UCSD 140 class size and 190 members rn ( so not scary that more than class size imo )
But with UCSD having only one new member this week just gonna assume it’s some MS4 trying to sell their stuff 😅

Just wanted to let everyone know that UCSD sent accepted students an email letting us know that they are extending the CYMS commit to enroll until June 24! Just wanted to let you guys know because that will probably affect the rate of WL movement!

so we are waiting for 50 people to drop out before WL movement can happen?

Not exactly, there are a few current medical students in the fb group! There are 107 in the GroupMe.

based on what people said in the group chat! I know personally for me that was the deciding factor to go to SD over other programs
By group chat, do you mean the GroupMe? I was just curious because I got nothing from UCSD RIP. But its still the most affordable so I guess its not all that bad!
 
So 107 accepted? And the rest are older med students?
There are 107 of us in the group me but it’s possible that not everyone has had the chance to join/ is aware of it existing. There’s about 10 current med students in the FB group from what I can tell (not all are listed as admin/group experts). At second look one of the deans mentioned that they accepted 267 students this year

ah okay. about how much WL movement do we think there will be, then?
 
I really can’t make heads or tails of that waitlist update email.

if the class is full, how is it possible for WL movement to ever happen?
 
That’s exactly my worry. But if the CTE deadline hasn’t passed, there may be some people who would leave for a different school if they get off their waitlist.

How does this email compare with previous years? Did they make any waitlist offers this year? The FB group and GroupMe member numbers have only gone down since May 1 😟

so the only chance of any WL movement is if someone on another WL and is enrolled at UCSD commits to the other school? That doesn’t seem in like with the >30 people getting off

It seems like there is going to be very little, if any, waitlist movement this year. I would imagine it is because of the great financial aid that was offered this year as other posters have mentioned. UCSD (and every medical school) will accept more than their class, but if there is a great financial incentive, more accepted students may be committing or holding onto their acceptance than we have seen in previous years. So in effect, UCSD may not need to pull from their waitlist for another 30 students.

For those accepted that have not committed just yet, they also have until 6/24 to decide, so I think the earliest we could maybe see movement is June when other CTE dates typically are as well.
