Sorry for the neuroticism, but for those accepted and in the GroupMe, has there been movement out of it since the narrowing to three schools “deadline”? And does it seem like there may be movement this year or nah

Since Monday, 3 people have left the Groupme! 5 or 6 have joined though, I assume maybe from waitlist or they just found out about it later? Not sure

Hmmmm I think WL movement doesn't start until May 1? I could be wrong

Does anyone know how long would we have to accept a position off the waitlist? I've seen at some other places anywhere between 2 days to a week but can't find this info online for UCSF.
 
Withdrawing from UCSF and from the UC Berkeley/UCSF JMP - wishing the best of luck to all my WL homies!! (these As hurt the most to give up ngl 😭)

The closer we get to summer, the less time we have to accept
 
When do we think they will start giving out As from the waitlist?

Last year it looks like it was May 3rd. Maybe @MercifulCamper can give us the inside scoop 👀

Tbh I don't know. I am not affiliated with the admissions team at all. What I do know is last year they under-admitted so there was a lot of waitlist movement. The year before mine they over-admitted and I think the class above me has like 15-20 more students than mine so there was very little waitlist movement. I have no clue what the trend is this year. Good luck to y'all!

Can any accepted students speak on how generous financial aid packages have been and if the vibes are good financially?

I don't think so. From previous years looks like they release a bunch via email at once

I called the admissions office earlier and asked about when to expect to hear back about the waitlist. They said mid-May because of the FASFA delay.

Thanks for asking! Does that mean they intend to send financial aid offers with the decisions?

The need-based aid was very generous in my experience and on par with private institutions of the same tier

Why does the fafsa delay impact anything? I thought accepted students already got their financial package?

I think some people got their aid package before others. I think they might also be calculating aid for the people that will be accepted from the WL

Accepted students only got estimated aid, so maybe they are trying to send out the official packages before addressing the WL? I have not gotten an official package yet, but I can update you when we do!

They told me the FASFA delay affects waitlist because accepted students asked for more time to hold their acceptance since their FA offer wasn’t finalized. So there isn’t WL movement until they get their FA info from admissions and decide what to do with their spot.
