What to Do if You Got Waitlisted at UC | Transfer Edition

100% agree! I was waitlisted to Berkeley, and agree that grades only tell so much of the story, but using the essay space to share additional information not relating to academics is how you set yourself apart! 🙌🏻🤗

Question hailey does all that process included with graduate students as well or that a whole different story ? I’m asking because I want to go to a UC school in the future for my graduate program .

As always, very sage advice from you. Hope this video helps your viewers who are on the waitlist.

Well here I am. Got waitlisted at UCSD after spending 3 years at CC. I'm debating about spending another semester at CC and reapply if I don't get off the waitlist. UCSD is my number 1 choice and the major that I applied for at UCSD is literally perfect for me. My thinking is, by spending 1 semester at CC I can finish my major prep and IGETC all while increasing my GPA.

The thing is UCSD didn't say if they wanted at LOCI so i'm not sure if I should email them one anyways.

Waitlisted at UCLA, hopefully the essay I wrote stands out🙏🏻

Thank you for this video. Just got waitlisted at Berkeley (my first choice) and haven’t heard anything from UCLA yet. Hopefully my essay I write will stand out for them 🙏 🍀.

for the UCLA transfer waitlist, there isn’t an essay. there is a box where we type our grades fall winter and spring, and then an “additional info” section in the same box. Do we write our essay in the additional info section 😭

Just got waitlisted at UCLA! There is a space for additional comments as opposed to an actual space for writing an essay. Any tips?

I took this advice for both my uc Berkeley and ucla waitlist essays… fingers crossed 😜

how will i know to write the honors essay? like where>

Strange. I thought the waitlist isn't actually a "list" but rather a pool of students. Or is that just for UC Irvine?
