[<em>] Attending Transfer Admit Day? (if admitted): Not Admitted
[/ul]Reflection[ul]
[</em>] Strengths: GPA was extremely strong. Essays while not the best, were still solid and should have been enough to get me in. Father was a UCLA Alumni
[<em>] Weaknesses: Lack of Extra Cirriculars. I called UCLA Admissions and they told me that they will never deny a transfer student admission solely because of extra cirriculars.
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I haven’t the slightest idea why I was denied admission. The only thing I can think of is the extra cirriculars, but they told me that ECs dont matter. I have been calling the school and sending emails like crazy trying to get a firm reason. Will definitely appeal.
[/ul]General Comments: I thought I was in for sure. I remember thinking back in December after getting straight A’s my last semester that I was already in. I didn’t even think I would be surprised when I was accepted. My counselor told me “If you don’t get in, no one will.” No idea why the possibly could have denied me. I have made a post on this website about my situation, asking others if they can think of a reason why I was not accepted. This thread also has a link to my transcript. I will update the thread as I continue to gain new information.
