I’ve been told the lottery for the Fresno students will take place as they only had 7 open seats in Oakland and at least 8 people admitted to Fresno already have expressed interest in taking them. No word on when any of it will actually take place and a revised waitlist be released Are you hearing these updates from those accepted to Fresno?

gdw40 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 I’ve just been going on the chat room that Tonette Green hosts every Wednesday morning asking for updates. I was 9th on the waitlist. But it now looks like zero chances of any of us waitlisted people getting in. They announced 20 students were admitted to that Fresno cohort, so of those 20 at least 8 have already opted to attend Oakland this year. Which means they are going to fill the currently 7 empty spots in Oakland and bump us all further down the waitlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied around 8/25-8/31 and I was placed in the first round of interviews and I got in. They do not utilize rolling admission. So in my opinion you have as good of a shot compared to those that applied when the cycle first opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
