@WildAlikeOyster: I submitted my inital Waiting List Response through the link they gave me, but the status in my checker has yet to update. I've written my LOCI, but it says "We encourage you to submit a Continued Interest response only if you received an email from our office requesting you to reconfirm your interest."
"We encourage you to submit a Continued Interest response only if you received an email from our office requesting you to reconfirm your interest." I read this as well but could you remind me where it is? I don't see it in the waitlist FAQs @crowdedstingymandrill

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: It's in the Status Check area where you click on "Waitlist Response Form." I think they are referencing the Waitlist Response form itself. I submitted a LOCI by email irregardless

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: It wasn't clear to me whether or not they meant a LOCI in the form of a PDF in email or that a Continued Response response was just the form response that they will ask us in say "1 month" if we still want to be on the waitlist

@CondemnedPuffyGnome: Unclear to me tbh
Hi! So I think I know what you are talking about, the continued interest response is basically uc davis asking you to submit another response reconfirming your interest in staying on the waitlist, my understanding is they do this down line when someone has been on the waitlist for some time, it is different from the LOCI. I submitted my LOCI via email and I received a response next day from the admissions confirming receipt. Hope this helps!
