UC Los Angeles (UCLA) (2023-2024)

[near bridge]

I mean yeah schools will almost never be sending clothes with acceptance packages

[fiery cliff]

I see, thank you!

[toxic yacht]

My friend got a beanie from uchicago if that qualifies lol

[weak dawn]

Yes only the top ones that are privates

😂

[toxic yacht]

Ah yes

[weak dawn]

The public ones don’t ever

Unless you go to their events

[toxic yacht]

Rip

[thick nebula]

should I just write about how im a good fit and stuff for ucla here and how i've continnued to be passionate and do thte stuff that relates to my major

[tacit mica]

I don’t see why not

[toxic yacht]

Add additional updates about new things you’ve done so far (awards, extracurriculars, jobs, etc)

Doesn’t have to just be related to your major (preferably tho but other things show you’re well-rounded too)

[thick nebula]

thx

ima start working on it rn

[toxic yacht]

Ofc gll

[thick nebula]

hopefully waitlist acceptance rate isn't 2-8% again like recent years

[stone arch]

Let’s go

[stiff cave]

anyone know if UCLA has an admitted students discord or anything?

[austere wharf]

idk but there are like 20 class of 2028 instas lmao

[raven moss]

Yeah 😭

[fiery cliff]

not sure, i was searching for them too but there's a general UCLA discord

[stiff cave]

ya u so right lol

why can’t one just be official xD

[stiff cave]

can u dm it?

[cedar flicker]

same

[fiery cliff]

sure!

[stiff cave]

ty

[ionic bramble]

What’s best to write about for additional information on the UCLA waitlist?

[toxic yacht]

Can you also dm?

[ionic bramble]

I haven’t done anything new really

[low musk]

are you serious? already of wl?

I got waitlisted but haven't accepted yet trying to work on my additional information section

[weak dawn]

Hey could you send me too?

[wild pollen]

Seriously?

[unique plume]

did ur friend opt in?

[low musk]

I don't really believe that to be honest..

but please lmk @raven moss cuz im yet to accept my offer

[unique plume]

i’m still on the waitlist fml

this shit is so devastating

[solar girder]

no way lol they don't pull off the waitlist until after the SIR deadline

[tawny violet]

Gonna have to go to Harvard 🤷‍♂️

[unique plume]

bro if they let me in LMAO (they are not)

[weak dawn]

I got you

[obsidian dew]

can i also get the invite

[cursive pendant]

you can accept first and then resubmit with additional info

i did that like almost immediately

i really want ucla dude

[grizzled flax]

i just researched a bunch and based on what i learned i combined it all into one

i can send u my letter if u wanna see what i put

[marble coral]

Can you also dm? I’m curiouss

[wanton cape]

for the ucla waitlist, should i include minuses and pluses for my new grades

[worthy elbow]

Heyo can you dm me this too

[fiery cliff]

sure, np!

[worthy elbow]

ty!

[uneven cairn]

Wait can you send me too! (I also got in for math at ucla :D)

[grizzled flax]

yea

[wanton cape]

cuz they dont count them on your initial gpa

[grizzled flax]

i did that

doesn't rly matter cuz even if they don't count them they can still just take ur letter grade for as it is

[wanton cape]

so i should include themor not?

[low musk]

will it hurt me for the waitlist process if I have mainly been an all A student but this second semester i have all B's?

[grizzled flax]

well it def won't look good

i can't tell u for sure if it'll impact u in any significant way

[stone arch]

I found one but I needed an official ucla email

[lunar blade]

Can u also pm me it 😭

[grizzled flax]

sure

[fiery cliff]

ah yeah fe

[runic viper]

wait how do you know you got off the wl in your portal

also what should u put in the additional info stuff, like a mini why ucla essay?

[runic viper]

can u also pm me too

[cursive pendant]

sure that'd be super helpful

[grizzled flax]

ok bet

[cursive pendant]

also do you think it's sketchy not to put in second semester grades

my school technically doesn't send them until final

and i honestly need to bring them up lmao

[grizzled flax]

no as long as u put in ur 1st sem grades

[cursive pendant]

ok cool

[grizzled flax]

2nd sem grades are not set in stone so i personally wouldn't put it

[runic viper]

do they ever request for like transcript cause like how would they validate your grades

[grizzled flax]

no

they just take ur word for it

[runic viper]

ok

[raven moss]

Yes

[raven moss]

Yes

[raven moss]

Nope

[wild pollen]

Awesome

[wild pollen]

Did they send a loci

[raven moss]

I mean 😭 she doesn’t have a pic of the wl bc why would you take a pic but she’s not lying

[wild pollen]

Wait guys also for the loci do we email them or on the additional info section of the portal?

[raven moss]

Maybe they made a mistake?

[raven moss]

Nope

[low musk]

gotchu! sorry that came off the wrong way.

[wild pollen]

Ahh gotchu

[raven moss]

They didn’t even opt in yet

[runic viper]

idk according to college confidential the first waves come in late april

[unique plume]

damn i refreshed and nothing 💔💔

[runic viper]

at least last year

[raven moss]

All good it’s possible they made an error w her app

[unique plume]

whatever ima try and cook up this waitlist statement

[runic viper]

i refreshsed and its the same ole waitlist decision

[raven moss]

She was depressed asf when she got wl

[wild pollen]

UCLA on crack for oos this year

[raven moss]

Sorry guys

[lost sequoia]

didnt someone say they got out of the waitlist yesterdya tho

[unique plume]

bro UCI is on crack for rejecting me when i live 20 mins away

[wild pollen]

Will u email it or submit on the extra info section on the portal

[runic viper]

how do u even know u got off

[wild pollen]

that’s wild

[unique plume]

that’s what i mean it’s only the portal

[runic viper]

like does ur decision letter just change to the you got accepeted one

[lost sequoia]

check portal?

[unique plume]

at least UCSD recognized the greatness 🔥🔥

[raven moss]

Also guys my friend emailed admissions so I’ll lyk guys know what exactly happened

[unique plume]

they email u saying an update has been made and u have 3 days to respond

[runic viper]

i did but was just wondering if im overthinking it

cause mines got no change

[wild pollen]

UCI accepted 15 people from my high school which is in a random middle eastern country yet ucla flat out rejected us all thankfully I pulled through with a waitlist at least @unique plume . 😂😂

[unique plume]

lmao bro uci is tweaking this year

[wild pollen]

Ong like 15 got into uci but no ucla 😂😂

[runic viper]

i got flatout rejected uci 😦

[wild pollen]

Like 1 should get in at least it’s a top private school here tfff

[lost sequoia]

DAMN FR?

[wild pollen]

uci accepted low ballers from my hs

[runic viper]

no sameee

[wild pollen]

They greedy for that tuition

[lost sequoia]

my HS i only heard 1-2ppl get into irvine

[wild pollen]

Yeaa lmao and we’re literally in the Middle East

[runic viper]

a lot of my friends also got waitlisted/rejected davis

[lost sequoia]

Oh, im in Bay Area

[lost sequoia]

SAMEE

[wild pollen]

Ig our regional ao was on smthn that day

[runic viper]

like idk if it got harder this year

[lost sequoia]

it does every year

[wild pollen]

Dang WTFF

[runic viper]

or if its just not representative

idek

[wild pollen]

Should have been more as a cali school

They prolly over accepted since people from where I’m from don’t commit to UFI

Uci**

[lost sequoia]

I think they take more OOS ppl tho rifht? cuz they get more money from out of state

[wild pollen]

Mhm and our tuition is fully covered upfront by our gov so easy money for them

Makes sense it’s a business at the end of the day

[lost sequoia]

Your school must be cracked @wild pollen
how many ppl got UCSD at ur school

[wild pollen]

Literally 0 UCSD 0 UCLA 15 UCI 3 Babson 1 Columbia 1 Princeton 3 northeastern 2 bu 2 tufts so far 😂

That’s just UCs and EA Round

[lost sequoia]

Most of my friends got WL or reject UCSD

[runic viper]

wow thats pretty cracked

[wild pollen]

Fr fr good for a school in the Middle East but ucla was down bad for not accepting a single person

[lost sequoia]

LOL

I heard of one person in my school got UCLA only

[runic viper]

i alr got like 5 ppl that got in mines

and like 5 that got waitlisted

[wild pollen]

dang that’s cracked for both of YALL

Idk how no one ended up getting accepted ngl

[runic viper]

idk we have a good amt that goes berkeley so im hoping

[wild pollen]

Like I expected 1 at least

[runic viper]

we had like 40 admits for LA last year i think

[wild pollen]

wtf

[lost sequoia]

what is mines

[wild pollen]

that’s psychotic 😂😂😂

[lost sequoia]

Wtf-

[wild pollen]

good for them tho dang

[runic viper]

idk maybe its just class size

[wild pollen]

ucla hates my hs ig

[runic viper]

idk if 600 class is a big class or not

[wild pollen]

How big is ur class if u don’t mind saying

[lost sequoia]

My Class size is like 657 kids or something like that

[wild pollen]

That’s huge

My class size is 160 only

[runic viper]

ohhhh thats why

[wild pollen]

and we got all these acceptneces but ucla just ain’t for us ig😂😂😂

[runic viper]

i just got more ppl

[lost sequoia]

I saw last year data for my school

[wild pollen]

38 applied for ucla: 37 rejected and 1 waitlisted (me😂)

It’s so weird like why didn’t they reject me with them

[wild pollen]

I feel like they were randomly voting

[wild pollen]

Wowww

[runic viper]

wait wheres that website again

[lost sequoia]

No way 74 ppl from my school got irvine last year tho

[wild pollen]

Uc admissions by source school

[lost sequoia]

cuz this year i only know 1-2ppl

[wild pollen]

Lmaoo that’s crazy

[wild pollen]

Some might be lowkey or keep it a secret ahahah

[lost sequoia]

https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/about-us/information-center/admissions-source-school

[runic viper]

damn 69 ppl got into berkeley

last year

and 36 LA

[lost sequoia]

Hmm maybe

But i asked a lot of ppl

same wirh UCSD yesterday i asked a lot of my friends

[lost sequoia]

thats crazy

[runic viper]

hopefully thatll be me this year

[lost sequoia]

LOL i hope im one of the few to get it in my class too

cuz i need a win after WL SD and reject davis irvine

[lost sequoia]

did you get in LA?

i feel like ive seen u on the CSU thread before too

[loud ginkgo]

same

we have like 1-2

[tall lintel]

no one from my hs has ever gotten into UCs

sucks to suck i suppose

[fiery bane]

We only had 1 for ucla last year

[grizzled flax]

out of state?

[tall lintel]

yeah my hs is a random underfunded one in nyc

we send two or three kids to t20s every eyar tho

last year we had princeton, a few nyus and johns hopkins i think

[grizzled flax]

that's pretty good imo

most high schools don't get into UCs out of state

but a lot of that is cuz most ppl don't apply

[tall lintel]

yeah all our kids are hooked asf, we're all fgli, urm and immigrants lmao

most kids get into questbridge here

i think this year we got notre dame, yale and stanford

[grizzled flax]

my hs was the same but nobody applies outside of the ucs and csus

and i never even knew what qb was

[tall lintel]

ah wow

[grizzled flax]

i didnt know the difference between ea/ed/rd

💀

[tall lintel]

yeah i was super unprepared for the entire process lmao

just first gen things i guess

i finished my qb app in 2 days because i had just found out ab it

didnt get in but i did a ton of research and used a2c

some kids in my school turn down ivies tho

for state schools

no idea y

someone got a full ride to columbia but chose hofstra

[grizzled flax]

a lot of the kids at my hs will turn down ucsd and berkeley for community college cuz they wanna stay close to home

but then in my head im like why did u even apply there 💀

[unkempt wren]

Flexing purposes

[grizzled flax]

none of them rly care abt prestige tho

they just apply to random places

i'd say over half of my school hasn't heard ab berkeley

and we're a school in cali

kinda crazy

[tall lintel]

that's kinda nuts lmfao

kids from my school don't know what stanford is

[grizzled flax]

no way

[tall lintel]

this year there's a bunch of prestige obsessed peopke tho

i know some kids from my school use a2c which is crazy

[tall lintel]

yeah everyone here freshly immigrated from middle eastern countries

[lost sequoia]

same

[grizzled flax]

oh that makes sense then

[tall lintel]

were u fgli?

[mellow patrol]

oh me too

[grizzled flax]

yeah

[lost sequoia]

?

[grizzled flax]

wish i knew more abt college apps tho

i would've ed'd somewhere

[lost sequoia]

oh nvm i thought u were replying to me @tall lintel

[tall lintel]

i wish i knew to start prepping in advance

like kids on here start mapping out their lives in sophomore year

[grizzled flax]

aren't u going to stanford tho

that's like as good as it gets

[tall lintel]

yes i guess i shouldnt be talking

i have major imposter syndrome now tho

like theres some times where i genuinely dont know how i got in

[grizzled flax]

it only gets worse when u start ur first year there

[tall lintel]

and im hella scared about going there bc i feel like i'll be so out of place as a poc and fgli

[tall lintel]

yeah i think itll get easy fs

i moved to the us like 2 years ago tho and only have my mom in nyc

so moving away is terrifying thats y im praying i get into a school closer to me

[grizzled flax]

you're not binded to stanford?

[tall lintel]

i got in rea

so its non binding

[grizzled flax]

oh i figured it was binding lmao

i still don't know shit abt ea/rd/etc 😭

[tall lintel]

LMAOOO

its alright tbh i dont even know how majors and minors work

i need to watch some yt vids or smth

[grizzled flax]

yea i think at top schools like stanford it's kinda different too

i think they call itt concentrations instead of majors

or something like that

[tall lintel]

yeah i think so 😭 ffs its so tough

at least my linkedin will look nice lmfao

[grizzled flax]

true

[wild pollen]

Nahhh ahaha also I wasn’t on the csu thread 😂😂

[lost sequoia]

OOPS MB

i must have mixed you up for someone

[wild pollen]

Nahhhh ur good 🤣

[lost sequoia]

i swear i saw you in a channel before tho

[wild pollen]

yeaa probably one of the mega threads or the essay chat

I was active there for a while

[lost sequoia]

Oh i see

lol

[proud salmon]

i know of only 1 person who's actually attended a UC from my school

my friends sister is going to berkeley and is absolutely miserable there

[jade delta]

what did they say abt berkeley

[proud salmon]

biggest regret is turning down a full ride at UCF to pay 70k/yr at berk, but safety and environment are no bueno over there

[tall lintel]

oh my godd noooooo

i think my motto is i'll ltr never go in debt for any school no matter how prestigious it is

that's so horrid

i've heard terrible things ab oakland ngl

[jade delta]

ahhhh yeah 70k is insane

[proud salmon]

and being on the other side of the country away from family aint the best either

if i lived in cali i probs wouldnt even apply to berkeley 😭
id wanna stay in socal

[tawny violet]

Is ucla like Michigan where you can see ur acceptance file

[stone arch]

We had around 20 but our class of 2024 is 624

[stone arch]

I think all colleges allow you but only if you enroll

[cyan crescent]

hey! can u also dm me the ucla discord?

[fiery bane]

Oh bruh our class size is 134

[stone arch]

Yeah our school is massive

2600 people overall

[grizzled flax]

i heard that ucla's admission files just have a bunch of random numbers on ur application

and seems like nobody knows what they even mean

so u prob wouldn't get much out of requesting it

[cursive pendant]

do you think it's good to do half-standard loci and half-why ucla

[ebon aspen]

wait guys for letters and sciences do they srsly not even look at ur major when u apply

and just ur app overall

[honest warren]

was this for ucla

[sleek ether]

didn’t know you were on a2c lol

[ebon aspen]

lol

[raven moss]

Can you dm it to me too!

[raven moss]

Yup

[honest warren]

oh wow

maybe I have a chance then

[raven moss]

You def could get off

My best friend got rejected ucla :((

I’m so sad

[cursive pendant]

this gives me so much false hope

[raven moss]

NO YOU CAN

[cursive pendant]

i love ucla man

[raven moss]

Manifesting for you bro I feel you

[cursive pendant]

honestly wonder if i should've applied to engineering despite the low acceptance rate

because then it'd mean more that my stem gpa is perfect

[cursive pendant]

thank you

[grizzled flax]

yea

[tawny violet]

damn okay

[grizzled flax]

u can still try tho

i wanna try myself but idk how to request it

[tawny violet]

Yeah I’ll do it for the hell of it

[grizzled flax]

lmk if you're able to figure out how to request it cuz i wanna do it too

[tawny violet]

I will

Also now that ik im going to ucla im obv gonna rescind my apps that are still up, but do I need to tell the colleges I already got into that im not going?

Or do I just ghost them

[toxic yacht]

I would tell them so it would free up the waitlist at those colleges if you’re completely sure you’re committed to ucla

[tawny violet]

Yeah ur right forgot about waitlist people

One girl at my school got into Michigan ea and instantly committed and is still getting into every other school lmao

[toxic yacht]

Oop

[tawny violet]

She’s gotten into Stanford Texas ucla Notre dame. Just to name a few. It’s annoying of her but also impressive

[toxic yacht]

Thats rlly impressive

[grizzled flax]

i never withdrew my apps cuz i had too many to withdraw

didn't cause a problem (for me)

[tawny violet]

Lmao I have sooo many to do

[coarse ledge]

why commit umich over stanny?

[tawny violet]

We live RIGHT next to Stanford like absurdly close so nobody really wants to go there from my school cause of that. But also she and her family are all huge Michigan fans and so she’s always wanted to go there

[coarse ledge]

ohh nice

damn so you dont even have to dorm at stanford

[tawny violet]

Fr it’s closer than my high school is

[coarse ledge]

ur school deffo feeds to stanford

[tawny violet]

We do pretty well cause lots of students have parents working there idk if we do other than that

[coarse ledge]

ohh i see congrats on ucla tho

[tawny violet]

Thanks man

[wise saddle]

rejected from UCI and UCD accepted UCLA wth😭

[cedar flicker]

Congrats!!!

[lusty gyro]

quick question for the reporting changes section for the admission contract - i switched one of my classes from regular to dual enrollment, should i update that or nah

[worn garnet]

me too pleaes

[ripe shuttle]

could you dm me too please

[ember timber]

Could I get that pls?

[novel locust]

if i got waitlisted at ucla am i fucked for the rest of reg decision

[tawny violet]

Why would you be?

[near bridge]

Not fucked but I would say go into it with no expectations

UCLA waitlist acceptance is usually slim because they have a pretty high yield

[rapid roost]

people said last year's waitlist AR for ucla was much better than usual

no official sources tho

just parents/admits online

[solar girder]

palo alto high school?

[lethal oxide]

Is there a group chat for admitted students?

[novel locust]

one guy i know got off

[grizzled flax]

it was

there's data on it

last year 8% vs 2-3% previous years

[rapid roost]

damn

if it multipled by 4 last year, it should multiply by 4 this year

so in theory, the rate should be 32% this year

[proven pewter]

can any wl admits from last year send me how they wrote their loci

[cursive pendant]

just do your normal loci but add a why ucla section since you didn't write one already

if there's anything you feel like you missed in your original app include it

[tawny violet]

No

Then it would be the same distance away

[tawny violet]

Does the food live up to the hype

[grizzled flax]

yea

it was better precovid tho

u can also use ur meal plan at the fast foods on campus

like panda express

rubios

subway

etc

[tawny violet]

I had the option of going there I shadowed there and another place and decided against it

[solar girder]

did you get into stanford?

[solar girder]

ah lol def the other sweaty palo alto school then if not that one

[tawny violet]

My school is NOT sweaty

We are so poor

[solar girder]

oh i was thinking gunn lol

[tawny violet]

I applied rd but no

[tawny violet]

I would’ve been able to go to paly cause my parent works there

But i live in a different school district

[solar girder]

ah ok not gonna try to dox you but yea i have a rough idea

i'm from the area

i don't think the mentality of like being right next to stanford and not wanting to go is that common though

like it was for the person you said

gunn and palo alto have plenty going to stanford

[stone arch]

People that don’t withdraw after Ed or committing

[tawny violet]

Yeah lot of people are upset with her

[stone arch]

Valid

Pretty selfish thing to do

I think people do it to stroke their ego

And see what other colleges they gonna get into even tho they aren’t gonna go

Free merch ig

[fiery cliff]

not exactly, she can commit to another university but she will lose her Umich deposit

[wanton cape]

u dont need to commit to keep ur spot 😭

imagine if colleges pulled acceptances like that

oh really?

i didnt get in anywhere early so 💀

i wouldn't know

uh so i was rejected pton rea, recently got into mit ... so like only waiting on harvard, yale, and stanford - I pulled a lot of my other apps bc of my recent acceptance.

nah

they are all online tbh at this point

thx thx

oh ya

i've heard off like well off people cheesing their way to get fee waivers or smth

there's some loophole idk what tho

[lusty gyro]

You can literally ask your counselor 😭

[old grail]

got in ucla :D

[jade delta]

huge W congrats :DD

[old grail]

tyty~

[tawny violet]

She is NOT

She said she just wants to trophy hunt

[old grail]

..yeah

umm no

i am not in china rn

[vast kiln]

A girl ik already got in caltech and said it was her dream school already and now she got in ucla lol but she has no plans to attend

[old grail]

oops

i pressed the wrong thing

cant change roles 💀

applied to a lot of safeties lol

[raven moss]

Is double majoring in two different majors (ie biochem and polisci) doable

[grizzled flax]

yea double majoring in any two majors in l&s is doable imo

poli sci is a pretty short major at ucla

unsure abt biochem

but it's def doable knowing that at least one of the two are short

[raven moss]

Really that’s good

[raven moss]

Ok w

I wanted public health

[grizzled flax]

i think ph is impacted but idk

[raven moss]

But I saw I couldn’t double major while doing it + impacted

[raven moss]

Yeah it is

And ucla doesn’t have public policy

So polisci it is

Or maybe marine bio but marine bio and biochem should have a bunch of overlap

[grizzled flax]

yea i assume those two overlap a lot

[stone arch]

Ain’t u from sip

[raven moss]

Yeah a lot of the lower division are the same

[grizzled flax]

bro it's crazy how cum laude here for l&s is a 3.9+ lmao

[stone arch]

Holy shit

2030 kids lucky af

[raven moss]

Is that bad or

Can you get above a 4.0

[grizzled flax]

i don't believe so

[grizzled flax]

not necessarily

it just sucks cuz low key i wanted some type of recognition like that

[raven moss]

Is it difficult to get

[grizzled flax]

but def not happening in cs lol

[raven moss]

You can’t get it?

[grizzled flax]

yeah imo

[grizzled flax]

no i already fucked up first qtr

[raven moss]

Yikes i see

[grizzled flax]

two Bs that are both worth 5 units in your 4 years will make u unable to get cum laude

[raven moss]

Oh wow

[grizzled flax]

yea but it changes every year

but it's been getting higher

every year

so idk

we'll see ig 💀

[marble coral]

how many even managed to get that

[grizzled flax]

idk the number i haven't looked into but

i'd assume a good amount

a lot of the majors here in l&s are really easy

poli sci is one of them

business econ

communications

etc

they're really popular too

sociology

[marble coral]

ic, you said cs cum laude not doable so there hasnt been a single one?

[raven moss]

Oh wow

[grizzled flax]

well it's def doable but for me personally no

[raven moss]

I’m getting a 4.0

[grizzled flax]

cs cum laude is a 3.87

[grizzled flax]

🙏

[raven moss]

Biochem?

[grizzled flax]

biochem prob not

[raven moss]

Will @ you after my first quarter

[grizzled flax]

doesn't sound like it at least

[raven moss]

Yeah thought so

[raven moss]

I think lower division esp intro classes will probably be ok

[grizzled flax]

if you're good with chem you'll be fine

orgo is a hit or miss

for some ppl it clicks some it doesn't

[raven moss]

Yeah I’m good w it

[grizzled flax]

i despise chem

never clicked for me

[raven moss]

I’m pretty decent at memorization and have a good basis for chem

[raven moss]

Really

I loved it

It makes so much sense

[grizzled flax]

yea the hardest class i ever took in hs was honors chem

[raven moss]

I’m so excited to take it again in college

[grizzled flax]

nothing else came close

[raven moss]

Dang

I took AP last year and it was one of my fav classes

[grizzled flax]

i prefer math

[leaden rover]

chem is so tedious

hate stoichemtry to this day

[raven moss]

Ew

[raven moss]

Love stoich

[runic viper]

am i screwed if i got waitlisted, just checked the previous years acceptance rates and im lowkey paranoid about it now

[turbid parcel]

wouldn’t say you’re screwed but the ar is low

I got waitlisted too lol

[grizzled flax]

statistically ur chances are the same as when u originally applied so

[runic viper]

ig i just gotta pray i was ranked well on their waitlist

[leaden rover]

hi tim

[runic viper]

hi andrew

[leaden rover]

ew
