Just wanted to start a thread for the students applying to this time frame! Deadline's around the corner. ?

[Tracy Huynh]

Just joining the thread now, but got my waitlist notification for the Oakland campus! I’m 4 out of 51 waitlist spots! Good luck to everyone else!!

Nice! What number are you on the waitlist! Don’t lose hope!

7! I know the waitlist doesn’t usually move that far but I’ll just keep hoping! It’s my second time applying and I’m kind of just bummed as I don’t know what else I can do to make my 3rd application more competitive.

Were you waitlisted last time? Seems like waitlisted people get prioritized for the next intake! But hopefully there’s movement this time around.

Oops I’m actually 6th on the waitlist, my mistake for putting 7!

And no I was denied for the Spring. ?

But also, Oakland applications are only once a year, so I would assume we wouldn’t be prioritized for the upcoming San Mateo application.

7 isn't too far away and who knows what'll happen in these crazy times. Do you know how far down the list waitlist they usually get for Oakland?

I was waitlisted at #23 for Sacramento and got all the way to #8 last Spring so I'd say you have a great shot!

Oh that’s promising! Thank you! And thank you to you as well as everyone else showing support! I guess I’m just frustrated after the long anticipation for decisions. Just wish Oakland took more than 1 cohort a year!

For those of you who got accepted, congrats!! Can anyone share when your letter of intent is due? Just to get an idea of when we can maybe see movement in the waitlist!

Congrats on the waitlist and best of luck! Do you mind if I ask if your portal changed to show waitlisted v. under review? I still haven't received any notification after the phase 2 email, but have been actively checking the portal to see if anything changes since people are starting to hear back.

Mine still says its being reviewed! I think it takes a couple hours to update

Ha no worries - took me a while to figure out the quote thing too, and you answered my question. Thank you!
