How optimistic should I be for being waitlisted at UCLA? Could some of you guys who have been through the same process share your experience with them?
Have you seen applicants–or are you one of those applicants–that were admitted really late in the process, e.g. dangerously closer to April 15, or on April 15?
The waitlisting message was that if they somehow get more funding, I would be admitted. This seems to be something equivalent to an admission without funding.
I think this could mean various things, including that I would be given an admission when an admittee with the same interest as mine declines an offer.
On another note, is there anyone here who has decided to go to UBC? Or someone who is on their waitlist besides me?
As a semanticist with a few particular topics in mind, my top choice is UBC, and I was told that I would hear back from them by the end of this month.
I would be curious to hear about your stories.
Thanks guys!
