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

There hasn't been any offers sent since April 30 right?

doesn't really seem like. with all else equal, based on what the group me # was prior to and after April 30th it seems like they sent around 40-45 offers this year. definitely no where near there range of 100-250 lol
 
Thanks for the update.
So it's a done deal from this point, I assume... 🙁 🙁 ..

Admissions office - "Just say it" !!!
 
Thank you for updating us! I'm really disappointed by the unclear communication and lack of movement since April 30th. Even if I did get accepted now, my excitement to attend is pretty much gone :/
 
Yeah I’m really sorry I’m bummed out too. :/ Feel free to attend virtual hours next week to get an impression for yourself
 
I want to preface by saying that I’m obviously not a spokesperson for the school I was just going off what they said during office hours. I highly recommend going for yourself next week and asking whatever questions you have so you can make the most informed decision

I’m about to CTE for a school bc I got in off the WL— I looked at the CYMS tool and it says my app for UCLA is no longer under consideration. Idk what this means for the rest of WL folk, but if you have an A maybe check CYMS to see if there’s hope or if they secretly rejected people!

Mine used to say alternate list, but now it said “application no longer under consideration”! It was updated around [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]] day after I received an acceptance to another school

I got a WL rejection email from another school. CYMS shows "application no longer under consideration" for that school.
 
LOL I’m sorry idk why it just does that for me, prob because I’m on mobile. It was updated around one day after I received an acceptance off the WL to another school!

But it had it updated to “no longer under consideration” before you hit cte at your other school?
 
Yeah, when I got accepted I checked CYMS and it said alt list for UCLA, but a day later they updated my status ‘no longer under consideration’. I only just saw it today when I went in to CTE. I was also regular WL for UCLA, I don’t know if it makes a difference though

I bit the bullet and called. Just got off the phone literally rn. here’s the whole spill. She said: from what it looks like the waitlist is moving more than what it was last year. I was like wow really. Then I asked her how do they choose who to fill the withdrew seat. She goes the adcom meets and forms a list. Once again this leads me to believe even though it’s unranked it’s ranked. I asked her if it was unranked wouldn’t it make sense just to premake a list and just go down that list instead of them having to reconvene every time someone withdraws. She said it depends on who withdraws. Ding ding dinggg once again leads me to believe it’s ranked. Idk why these schools say it’s unranked when it is. Even though they have top priority and reg I still think there’s ranking within those 2 categories. But also I want you guys to know there’s hope, because she said there’s still gonna be lots more waitlist movement till June. I asked her when in June does it stop. She said wl movement typically stops around EARLY June. I tried to be as thorough with my questions so I could feed yall as much as possible because it’s so stressful rn and we need these questions answered lol. And she said she couldn’t share when next set of As are released. And she told me to keep my fingers crossed and if I had anymore questions to reach out.

Bro this person from their office who told u this … karma will come for you mama for raising our hopes up despite a catastrophic waitlist outcome for this cycle. Were they just making **** up?

it’s like they either give us misleading information or no information at all lol
 
This is it. I don't think they're releasing anything now. Good luck y'all. Gonna withdraw waitlist.
 
I don’t think they will be either. Moreover, I definitely don’t think anyone from regular waitlist will be getting pulled this year. Good luck to all of you! I’m going to put my energy into something else.
 
Wow, when people were saying this is the least movement of all waitlists in UCLA's history they apparently weren't kidding. That or close to it? Why do you all think the reason or reasons are that there seems to have been literally zero WL movement at all for months, at least among anyone commenting on SDN?

They prob accepted more people than previous years (straight A's without being put on the waitlist)
 
Why did they just tell me they may have moved onto regular WL already?! Aren’t there “top” people who haven’t heard back yet?

i called earlier to ask questions about potential reapp and they officially told me the class if full. I mean we already knew that but its nice that they finally admitted it

Probably people just dropped from the waitlist so they’ve “moved on” to regular waitlist, and the class is full
 
"Currently, there is very little movement on the waitlist because we just passed our commit-to-enroll deadline on June 2nd. However, some movement off the waitlist may still happen, as some students might defer their offers or decide at the last minute not to attend for personal reasons. I wish I could provide a definitive answer, but the movement from the waitlist varies from year to year." - Email from admissions today

Yeah cycle looks pretty much done
 
I know their class is currently full - but if they have someone drop last minute, I want to know if it would have to be top WL or not! :////
