Hey everyone, I'm currently a junior and I'm considering applying to Santa Clara University. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the waitlist acceptance rate is like for Santa Clara? I just want to be prepared for all possible scenarios. Thank you in advance!
Hello! While specific waitlist acceptance rates may change from year to year depending on multiple factors, it's important to note that Santa Clara University does admit students from their waitlist. The number of students admitted can vary depending on the size and competitiveness of the applicant pool and the number of spots available in the incoming class.
To give oneself the best chance of being accepted from the waitlist, it's useful to submit a letter of continued interest (LOCI) to the admissions office, expressing your enthusiasm for attending the university and updating them on any significant achievements or activities you've engaged in since submitting your application.
Keep in mind that being waitlisted is not a guarantee of admission, so it's a good idea to commit to another university that has accepted you and consider a spot off the waitlist as a bonus. Additionally, it's essential to focus on making your original application as strong as possible to increase your chances of being accepted outright.
Wishing you the best in your application process!
