Congrats to all who have been accepted! It's now past the June 15th date that some people have marked at the date for most of the waitlist acceptences to be sent out by UC...does anybody know how accurate that date is or if more will be sent out?
I emailed Dr. Manuel on Friday- just trying to get any info on the waitlist and movement for the rest of the summer etc...heres what I got:
It is always tough to "guess" what will happen or where we will end up
on the alternate list. I am not trying to dodge the question(s), but the
reality is that at this point we just don't know what will happen. I
tried to answer your questions (below) - but if you want me to elaborate
or clarify anything please let me know.
Sincerely,
Stephen Manuel
As I am in the top third of the alternate list (in-state), I hope for
some movement on this list throughout the summer. So far, has there
been much movement?
We have not experienced as much movement as we were anticipating and while we are making some offers from our alternate list, it is moving slowly.
Do you expect much movement for the remainder of the summer?
It is still early in the process/summer and we due tend to make
the most offers in the month of June. The next two weeks will really
tell us a lot about the amount of movement we might have on the list.
I know there have been several students accepted from the alternate list
who are out of state, are there separate in-state and out of state
lists, and do they each move differently?
Yes, the list is separated by in state and out of state since
there is a percentage of in-state students that we wish to have
in the class. During the end of May we were making more out of state
offers and over the last week we have been making more in state offers.
Is the remaining waitlist large?
The wait list has about 250 students on it.
