UC Freshman and Transfer Waitlist/Appeal/Cancellation Numbers
Below is a consolidated list of past numbers (Fall 2014 and Fall 2015) for freshman and transfer applicants, and information on how to get the new waitlist/appeal numbers (Fall 2019 and later) I compiled.
Side note: The UCs didn’t used to publish these numbers anywhere (you could find freshman waitlist numbers on the Common Data Set for most UCs and there was a set of Fall 2017 cancellation numbers for freshman and transfer applicants disclosed during a UC Regents meeting). The numbers I got for Fall 2014 and Fall 2015 involved me raising my hand in a room full of counselors during the freshman and transfer UC Counselor Conferences and asking the directors of admissions at each UC campus for them (while each of them stared daggers at me; for an explanation of my ongoing saga/conflict with the UCs, read my origin story). That is why there was a gap between Fall 2015 and Fall 2019.
Freshman Waitlist/Appeal/Cancellation Numbers
You can find the last two sets of complete waitlist/appeal/cancellation numbers I obtained here (Fall 2014) and here (Fall 2015). Some UCs included waitlist and appeal numbers in their campus updates at the Fall 2020, Fall 2021, and Fall 2022 UC Counselor Conference (you can dig through campus update presentation to find them).
