I’m not sure I completely understand, but are you saying that UCs, through their holistic admissions model, take into account the fact that some of their applicants are processed in the figurative “college applicant mill” in order to unauthentically(?) build a superior profile to make them attractive for college admissions. Undergraduate enrollment growth beyond the levels supported by State funds creates an ongoing challenge to campuses as they strive to maintain the quality of a UC education. Nevertheless, actual California resident enrollment growth has far outpaced the levels supported in recent Budget Acts. The resumption of State support for undergraduate enrollment growth has been a positive development. On page 37 of the above budget report, it states And that was in year one of the pandemic. This Daily Bruin article from 2020 references the scope of financial loss experienced just at UCLA. The UC medical centers took a huge hit during the pandemic. Regarding income sources, 36% is from the medical centers while 22% is from Core Funds (State funds, general funds, tuition). Look at page 17 of this 2023-24 UC Budget. People often feel that the bulk of UC funding comes from tuition and taxes. I’ll share this here because you mention funding. If people want to do a deeper dive into UC funding, maybe we can start a new thread. Need help with your waitlist statement?

Not sure if you should opt-in or give up? Take a look at previous years’ waitlist numbers I have compiled here to help you decide the best way forward!įind DIY waitlist statement help on my YouTube Channel (watch Understanding How the UC Appeal and Waitlist Process Works first, then check out How to Compose Your UC Waitlist Statement). If a waitlist statement is allowed, you may use that as an appeal if needed.

Keep in mind that, if you decline the waitlist, then you effectively said no to the campus, and that disqualifies you from appealing as well.

UCs do not allow applicants who were offered waitlist option to appeal. For example, what experiences, knowledge, skills, and characteristics do you bring to the campus and how will you positively contribute to the student body and/or the campus community?įor campuses that do NOT have a waitlist statement, keep in mind that they will NOT review unsolicited information. For example, what opportunities will the campus offer you and how do you intend to take advantage of those opportunities? You should also reinforce why you are the right student for that campus. If a waitlist statement is allowed, be sure to explain why the campus is right for you. There is no penalty for you to withdraw the SIR if you are accepted from the waitlist somewhere else (except losing the $250 deposit). Most UC campuses will not release waitlist decisions until well after the May 1 SIR deadline, so be sure to follow through with a backup plan in case the waitlist decision doesn’t work out in your favor. I recommend that you carefully review the waitlist information and/or FAQ from the campus that offered you waitlist before opting in. Most UCs will have an opt-in deadline of April 15, but some campuses may have different deadlines. Each UC campus handles the waitlist opt-in process a little differently.
