2023-2024 UC San Francisco

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Does anyone know how long would we have to accept a position off the waitlist? I've seen at some other places anywhere between 2 days to a week but can't find this info online for UCSF.
The closer we get to summer, the less time we have to accept
 
Last year it looks like it was May 3rd. Maybe @MercifulCamper can give us the inside scoop 👀
Tbh I don't know. I am not affiliated with the admissions team at all. What I do know is last year they under-admitted so there was a lot of waitlist movement. The year before mine they over-admitted and I think the class above me has like 15-20 more students than mine so there was very little waitlist movement. I have no clue what the trend is this year. Good luck to y'all!

Can any accepted students speak on how generous financial aid packages have been and if the vibes are good financially?
 
I don't think so. From previous years looks like they release a bunch via email at once
 
Why does the fafsa delay impact anything? I thought accepted students already got their financial package?

I think some people got their aid package before others. I think they might also be calculating aid for the people that will be accepted from the WL
 
has anyone on the WL gotten their aid package? or will it be only be sent should we get accepted?
 
Accepted students only got estimated aid, so maybe they are trying to send out the official packages before addressing the WL? I have not gotten an official package yet, but I can update you when we do!
 
Thanks for asking! Does that mean they intend to send financial aid offers with the decisions?
They told me the FASFA delay affects waitlist because accepted students asked for more time to hold their acceptance since their FA offer wasn’t finalized. So there isn’t WL movement until they get their FA info from admissions and decide what to do with their spot.

Did it seem like there would be movement when u called?
 
Do y'all think there will be more movement? And is it wise to send a letter of intent if I don't have any significant updates?
