Srsly wondering at this point if the class is nearly full. Does anyone know what the gc # was during previous years?

I feel like the GroupMe numbers aren’t super accurate since some years they can a ton of M1’s join and other years not so much so it’s really hard to gage.

Makes sense. Hoping the 220 includes ppl who never left the gc even after de-committing to the school

Seriously feeling unoptimistic... if that even is a word...
June 2nd is coming up and many schools have CTE deadlines coming up
I guess if we don't head back by June 2nd, it's gonna be an R in my mind ...

I just feel like they will release like very few. I think they’ll cover the few remaining maybe like 5-10 top of the waitlist people left and they won’t get to regular waitlist this year

No one has any luck reaching out to admissions via phone call right?

They don't answer the phone, so I emailed them. They said they're expecting to release a few more acceptances in the coming days close to June 2nd. Idk make of it what you will...

The coming days??? …erm tomorrow is the last biz day before June 2 lol
 
This is kind’ve an aside question but with all of the funding cuts and what not does this school still have an MSTP program?

wouldnt waitlist movement happen later this week if today is the deadline to commit?
 
Crazy to think that some of us got invited to interview in August and 10 months later we still don’t have a final answer from this school
 
Did anyone try to reach the Admissions office? This is beyond frustrating right now.
They should at least say YAY or NAY so that we the "wait listers" can move on

apparently they aren't answering the phone and are giving vague responses over email. I have work so I can't but if anyone wants to attend virtual office hours tomorrow to ask it would be much appreciated.

i'm literally preparing to move from California to the east coast for a job this summer but if UCLA calls I'd have to come running back? I know it's not personal at all but it's so wildly frustrating that I haven't been able to commit 100% to future plans since I interviewed in SEPTEMBER.

exactly i just don't really understand what the hold-up is for. The CTE deadline has passed. They've had A MONTH to assess which students they'd like to start pulling off the waitlist next. unfortunately for us though, the ball is 100% in their court and they know that students would be willing to drop everything a week before school starts to come here (or at least those that don't have A's elsewhere).
 
Idk if they just dont want to give any definitive answers, but part of their email makes it sound like there might not be a lot of movement.

"Thank you so much for reaching out. We are still awaiting some responses from students who have planned to enroll but have not committed to enroll. Although yesterday was our deadline, movements off the waitlist can still occur after our deadline of June 2nd."

The school must have over-accepted accounting for applicants they may be losing out on due to lack of $$, leading to minimal WL movement. Sounds like WL folks will only be pulled off if ppl drop their PTE. Shouldn't the school drop the acceptances if they don't commit by the CTE deadline though? Isn't that the whole point of the CTE deadline? To keep things moving and finalize the class

Yeah seems like it but idk why they gave false hope that they would send more acceptances closer to June. Like they told multiple different students this which is so unfair. Literally led everyone on only to not release anything else. Lol I guess time to move on
 
I was able to squeeze in some time to attend office hours today during my break and a few students were asking questions about whether or not there will be more students coming off the waitlist. I’m not gonna lie it didn’t really seem super….optimistic. Basically they said the waitlist is still open and when they close it they’ll let students know. But also when asked about whether or not more offers would be sent they said the CTE deadline has already passed and they do sometimes see movement (I think they mean students dropping) after it but it’s rare. Judging by how they answered it they were very dodgy and it almost kinda gave the “vibe” that there will be minimal students getting off the waitlist from here on out. If anyone else attended and picked up a different vibe feel free to say. They did say that right now they really don’t want to overfill or underfill and that there’s a specific number that they’re trying to hit. Unlike before in like mid-May, they are NOT answering the question of whether or not more offers will be released or not. Based on everything they said, it seems like there currently isn’t any seats open and in order for them to send another offer a student would have to defer/withdrawal their position. I think they maybe anticipated more movement than what actually happened
