waitlist process for fall 2011 admissions. All campuses except Los Angeles and
Merced will use waitlists for their freshman pools. Students might receive
waitlist offers from more than one campus. Students may accept as many offers
as they wish. Waitlist offers will be made by the end of March for freshman
applicants. Once offered a spot on a waitlist, they must opt in. Instructions
for doing so will be included with the waitlist notification. Even if they
accept a waitlist offer (or several), students should submit a Statement of
Intent to Register (SIR) by the stated deadline to a UC campus or other
institution to which they have been accepted. If they later accept an offer of
admission from a campus where they have been wait-listed, they will forfeit
their deposit at the first campus. Wait-listed freshman applicants will be
notified of their status no later than June 1. Preliminary financial aid awards
will be sent at the time students are notified of waitlist offers.
Additionally, SIRs of wait-listed students will be considered on time for
purposes of housing and orientation, provided they are submitted by the
deadline stated in the offer of admission.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Eligible applicants who don’t receive
an admission offer from any campus to which they applied will be in the
referral pool, even if they are on the waitlist at another campus. Campuses
will still consider appeals. Applicants who feel they have grounds for an
appeal should submit one, but they should keep in mind that the purpose of the
appeals process is to deal with errors and compelling new information and
hardship. Students cannot appeal for a spot on the waitlist. In the fall 2010
admissions cycle, the first time waitlists were used broadly, a total of 11,703
waitlist offers were extended to freshman applicants across all campuses except
UCLA and UC Merced. Two campuses — UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara —
were the only two campuses to admit significant numbers of students off their
waitlists. These campuses yielded more than 40 percent of students
admitted off the waitlist.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
