2011 UCLA Transfer Applicants: The Decisions-Only Thread

<p>Congrats to all you guys. I must say I’m super jealous. Sucks that Econ/Bus Econ is ridiculously impacted over there or I would have applied.</p>

<p>Major: International Development Studies
GPA: ~3.65
IGETC: Yes
TAP: No
ECs/Work Experience: Extensive - lived and worked abroad in developing nations…many leadership positions
Personal Statements: First one was excellent, second was alright.</p>

<p>really hope I was the exception to this!->

  1. Financial Aid Information: Unable to view.
  2. Major Status on MyUCLA: Unable to view - kept on getting kicked out.
  3. Housing Message: Unsure of enrollment</p>

<p>Decision: Denied 4/25</p>

<p>LETS GO CAL!</p>

<p>we are currently bruins, just waiting to transform into golden bears!!!</p>

<p><strong><em>HELP!</em></strong></p>

<p>I was accepted to UCLA, which by the way I did not expect. </p>

<p>Molecular bio-3.5 GPA
TAP- no
EC-worked part time
IGETC- yes</p>

<p>I ended up withdrawing from the 2nd semester of o-chem though. I know on assist it says that you only need 1 semester of it to transfer. Should I contact them anyway to notify them that I dropped the course?</p>

<p>Edit: Also, my provisions for admission say “Maintain the grade point average and complete the courses and number of units you reported in your application and in any subsequent course updates.”
-So what do they mean by maintain the grade point average? Does that mean I have to have a 3.5 this semester?</p>

<p>Major: English
GPA: 3.61
Major GPA: ~3.7
IGETC: Yes
TAP: No
ECs/Work Experience: Okay EC’s, Part time job
Personal Statements: Very Strong</p>

<p>1) Financial Aid Information: Able to view Financial Aid/Document tracking for a while.
2) Major Status on MyUCLA: Kept getting signed out until about 2 hours before decisions were posted.
3) Housing Message: Application for Fall 2011 Unavailable
4) No phone call or e-mail (not eligible)</p>

<p>Decision: Admitted!! :] 4/25</p>

<p>I’m so happy for everyone who got in. Congratulations!</p>

<p>I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that…regarding the undergraduate housing message…</p>

<p>“Fall 2011 application not yet available” = ACCEPTED.
“Currently unsure of your enrollment status” = REJECTED.</p>

<p>And these notifications were known several days in advance…</p>

<p>As for document tracking for financial aid; seems to be the same case if you actually submitted a FAFSA on time.</p>

<p>I am very surprised that I got into UCLA I was expecting to get rejected. Maybe my essay wasn’t as bad as I thought. My first essay I explained why I went from biology to psychology, talked about how my best friend’s drug addiction made me want to become a substance abuse counselor and my internship. My second essay I explained why I was on academic probation my first semester and how I managed to go from below a 2.0 to a 3.5. The fact that I took biology major courses may have helped out too who knows. I am happy I got in.</p>

3) Housing: was able to proceed the housing app -> “Housing app 2011 not yet available”
4) No Scholarship emails/calls</p>

<p>Status: ADMITTED!!! 4/25 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D</p>
