It was my understanding the whole wave is done in one day. I still haven't heard back either though (Late jan interview)
Yea that’s also what I thought, hopefully we hear back soon!

Congrats to everyone who go in today! Does anyone know if waitlisted applicants are still eventually considered for PRIME-US? Or are we no longer in the running for PRIME-US since we aren't hearing back until after May? :,(

do alternates need to submit the CSS profile?
also, how does financial aid work for students that get accepted from the WL?

Yes, you should fill out the entire fin aid application if you're still interested in being on the WL.
Assuming you've filled out all the financial aid docs, you'll get an award letter some time after being taken off the waitlist. It took about 2 weeks for me.

thank you for the reply! my understanding is that there’s a much tighter timeframe alotted for accepted students off the WL to accept. do they allow for students to wait until they receive an award letter before making a decision?
also, if you don’t mind sharing, do you feel that you received a fair finaid award letter after being on the WL or was it giving crumbs?
Sort of. You get 5 days to accept the offer from the WL and until July 1st to CTE. So you can remain on other waitlists, but if you've already PTEd to one school then IIRC you must choose between that school and UCSF within those 5 days without finaid info, since you can't typically hold 2 acceptances past May 1st. You could try reaching out to both schools and seeing if they'd extend deadlines. In my case, I didn't get great finaid from the other school, so it wasn't a difficult decision from that point of view. I was also feeling kind of grim about finances given I was on the WL, but the finaid award ended up being pretty generous (much more so than the other school!) 🙂

just confirming that we don't need to confirm our place on the WL and are considered on it unless we withdraw?
Pretty sure we didn't have to confirm last year (I know some schools do that) based on the email we got. If they changed things this time around tho, the portal should have a page for confirmation.

Not sure if it's specific to CA residents but it looks like we are told to complete it as a part of filling out UCSF financial aid on the website for those who want full funding consideration: Apply for Aid | UCSF Student Financial Services

For those who were accepted after being WLed in May, do you all live in on-campus housing? Did you have trouble finding housing with the later acceptance?
It's not limited to Cali residents (a few other schools like Yale also require it). Yea, you still have to file for CSS.
I don't live on on-campus housing. The availability of the on-campus housing I was interested in was pretty limited, but there were still some options out there. Highly recommend using places4students to look for off campus housing if you're explorimg your options. I lucked out and found a great place near one of the campuses.

How likely is it to be housed with a student if requested for ASWeekend? Not looking to pay those SF hotel prices...
If you're able to rent a car, or take your own with you, I'd highly suggest getting a hotel in South San Francisco/San Bruno/Foster City area. They will be a lot cheaper, closer to the airport, and the drive into the city is not that bad.

Are they finished sending out JMP decisions?
Nothing much going on there tbh, the group me is better for contacting current and prospective students
