<p>I just called UCLA and the person I spoke to said, “How did you get that 9 digit number?” I walked him through what I did and he said as far as he knows, the 9 digit number would not be given out unless the person was accepted. He said it looks like I found a loophole in the system.</p>
<p>He was very confident that this number would not be handed out unless the person is considered a student.</p>
<p>My daughter has had an account since the 3rd week in January and I’m 95% sure the ID was assigned then. That would have been before any decision was made.</p>
<p>In order to find out if this loophole is real we need to find someone that followed rwscpa intructions exactly at the beginning of the thread and did NOT get a nine digit id number. (ours starts with 804). It may mean nothing but it helps pass the time in this incredibly stressful day!!</p>
<p>Typical, horribly designed URSA. Definitely the worst UCLA website, which is saying a lot. It seems weird that that person said you were in. I’m pretty sure admin isn’t allowed to say anything like that, but maybe it was a student employee who didn’t know what they were doing.</p>
<p>I found this on the Graduate admissions page so i think its assigned to all apllicants:</p>
<p>After you submit your application, an email acknowledging the submission of your application will be sent to you within 72 hours. This email will include your nine-digit UCLA ID number and will be sent from <a href=“mailto:gradapp@mvs.ais.ucla.edu”>gradapp@mvs.ais.ucla.edu</a>. Be sure to clear this address in your address book/filter to avoid its being redirected as spam.</p>
<p>No advice or info, but last year there <em>was</em> a loophole in UCB portal, and students could see their assigned ID about a week before the decisions came out. There was a thread of nervous applicants on CC. The loophole was plugged a couple of days before the then D-day, March 24.
As it turned out is was indeed a clear indication of admission. UCB has not made that mistake again.
Good luck to all of you. It will be over very soon.</p>
<p>Is it only me or I was not able to create the account?. After I chose my username/password and all, it said “An account will be created for you” or something like that. Then it logged me out and when I click on “Manage UCLA logon ID”, I have to relog in… with the ID that I don’t have. </p>
<p>Perhaps they repaired the loophole?
Or perhaps I just didn’t get accepted!</p>
