for selective top schools, the admission can be quite random. There are plenty of HBS/Stanford admits not getting into other M7s. Haas given its small size, can be very selective in choosing the "best fit" candidates. I know folks who got into MIT, Kellogg, but not Haas, but there are also plenty vice versa cases.
As for LZ, getting Haas WL is quite an accomplishment already, congrats! but realistically speaking, getting off WL in a competitive year for a small school with pretty high yield, does not look very optimistic, let alone the loan/visa stuff you have to deal with if you get the admission. so I would suggest communicating with Haas to try to get off the WL, but at the same time go ahead with planning UCI.
Thanks, dorothyzm! I'll go ahead my preparatino for UCI. Actually, all the works are pretty much done already. Just waiting for I20 and then go for visa interview. Sure will still communicate with Haas to see if any chances
To furtherstudy, I still highly recommend you apply in R1 and R2. I do noticed that at least for the R3 this year, Haas gave out more WL instead of AD. 我的逻辑是这么想的，就算强人都集中在R1和R2里，你本来处于临界线的，可能就被在R1或者R2一个WL。Haas的R1和R2 WL是在R3decision之后的3个星期左右出来。就算R3没有太多人申请的话，学校还是不会降低标准。他还可以在第一二轮的WL中间选。他可以R3继续发WL，避免R1/R2的WL已经选了其他学校。这样对学校而言算是双重保险。
