[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UCs seemed to take a group of DMV private kids off the waitlist this year.  Since remaining on the waitlist requires you submit a LOCI type statement and type in YTD senior grades, it’s an opportunity for DMV kids to really put it out there that they will attend if offered a spot and show that they’ve maintained strong academics.

Or as my kid read it, why would I do this if they didn't have interest in me already. Nothing has changed - I'm still the same good grades, participating in ECs person I was in the application.

[b]Missed opportunity for your student if they wanted to attend.[/b] For others in the future, I will share, the UC waitlist LOCI is school specific and is an opportunity to write to them versus a personal statement. It can be a directly written brag sheet/sales pitch.  Mine added recent accomplishments and a why UCLA explanation, what they would like to do there and got off the waitlist on the first day.  Plus as a bunch of seniors let their grades drop senior year, this is a chance to show if your student kept theirs up. [/quote]

Agreed. I thought they should have made the effort.

But in the end, they are happy with their school. They have never wished they were at UCLA instead.  I think their school is a better match for them and for what they want to do. So, no regrets.

And thanks for sharing this because it is really useful information for others who might find themselves in that situation. And, so glad it worked out for your DC! Congrats to them/you.[/quote]
