2011 UCLA Transfer Applicants: The Decisions-Only Thread

<p>Well, it looks like at least some of UCLA's decisions will be released today. As of 2:00PM, the decision site has gone down, which in the past has indicated that decisions are imminent. This thread is a strict stats, decisions, and tricks thread. Only post once your decision has been released, and do not use this as a discussion thread. This thread should have 0 replies until decisions are released.</p>
