2011 UCLA Transfer Applicants: Status on Eve of Decisions

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Use this thread to post a compilation of the various indicators of possible acceptance. Let's use beatpedo's model:</p>

<p>1) Financial Aid Messages (on URSA and FAO)
2) Major Status on MyUCLA (None, Major Listed, Major Used to be listed, but now just a white bar)
3) Housing Message (Unsure of enrollment status or application unavailable)</p>

<p>Also post your stats.</p>

<p>Let's keep this thread clean—leave questions and discussion to the Discussion thread. This thread is only for the pre-decision stuff. We'll do a separate thread for decisions. I'll go first.</p>
