I emailed them and they said we will hear back from them with a definitive answer in June about our status unless anything changes they will email us right away. There is no ranking. Two people so far have been taken off the waitlist. I'm really hoping to get off the waitlist (I'm sure everyone on it is) but the odds are not looking so good based on prior threads.

Wishing us both the best! ❤️thanks for sharing

Where are you going? How did you decide? I'm getting my applications ready to apply to the next cohort for other schools. Would appreciate the feedback ?

Hi everyone! 
I received an email with an acceptance off the waitlist two days ago. I have declined my acceptance as I am enrolled to start at a nursing program on Monday. UC Davis was my top choice however financially speaking my current program is more ideal. I hope that someone is able to get my spot. Good luck!!

Hello,

Congrats on your acceptance!  Would love to hear about your more financially ideal school as I too would love that option as well?!

Hi everyone! I was admitted to UC Davis but will be giving up my spot since I just got accepted off of the waitlist at UCLA (which works out a lot better financially for me). If you're on the UCD waitlist, a spot should be opening up soon in the next week or 2!
