2016 - Did anyone else get assigned an ID #

<p>In trouble? With my luck, I’ll probably get life in prison for starting this thread.</p>

<p>terp, I can still login to it no problem.</p>

<p>Mine starts with 104******.</p>

<p>Mine starts with 404.</p>

<p>Honestly, I don’t think it means anything. Anyone with a CS background and a minimal understanding of relational databases knows that you need a primary key in a table as large as 95,000 applications. That UCLA ID number must be that primary key. You don’t use usernames as primary keys because it takes longer to sort and find records that way.</p>

<p>Whoever at the admissions office said they don’t make IDs until your admitted doesn’t understand that the ID is made by the computer to help itself identify the record later on, without any human intervention.</p>

<p>Though if EVERYONE here gets in and i have to eat my words later on today, it will be a walk of shame i’ll happily take (along with my free lunch) ;)</p>

<p>Well if it means anything both my siblings didn’t get assigned ID’s and their stats are well above UCLA’s. </p>

<p>I guess they were rejected, though already though one already got into MIT EA… Weird :S</p>

<p>I don’t think it matters what number it statrs with !!! All that matters is that you got a number!!!</p>

<p>So yes some people aren’t assigned an ID ^^, so I think this might just mean acceptance ^^.</p>

<p>I think dustinthewind is right. I was assigned a uc student id# with my other uc apps and received them in an email. Just a way to identify the applicants.</p>

<p>Someone with a comp science background please explain why some people didn’t get one?</p>

<p>@Framed</p>

<p>Either they plugged the hole and stopped revealing those numbers, or i’m wrong.</p>

<p>Hopefully i’m wrong about everything.</p>

<p>Seriously I’ve never wanted to eat my words more.</p>

<p>If i get into UCLA i’ll quit my job citing incompetence in my field and take a naked lap around my neighborhood.</p>

<p>@dustinthewind: I just created an account, and I got an ID number. So that means they haven’t fixed this “hole” yet (oh how bad I wish it actually is a hole).</p>

<p>In response to your earlier post, couldn’t UCLA just use your UC application ID as a primary key? Why go through the trouble of creating a new one…unless they created a brand new table. For rejected applicants. And assigned them IDs. Which are now being displayed to us…gulp.</p>

<p><em>shrug</em> i’m not holding out much hope for UCLA. Reading the tea leaves hasn’t really been my thing. I just know its unlikely that a hole this egregious would exist.</p>

<p>We can revisit this thread in a few hours, i’m sure we’ll all look foolish regardless of the outcome.</p>

<p>But, so far the ID only starts with 104, 404 and 804? Three categories, like we wanted.</p>

<p>Can any of you see activity on Financial Aid Tracking? <a href=“https://www.ursa.ucla.edu/[/url]”>https://www.ursa.ucla.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I’m a transfer, but last year those admitted were able to see FA tracking a few days before being officially admitted. Those rejected saw nothing.</p>

<p>mine starts with 504…</p>

<p>Mine starts with 604. There goes that theory.</p>

<p>@SMCguy this is what i see:</p>

<p>Student Name: Derpy Mc. Derpson
Award Period: Academic Year 2011-2012</p>

<p>No Document Tracking Information available for this Award Period.</p>

<p>I got mine too… It starts with 904.</p>

<p>I don’t think we can draw any theory from what people have posted on this thread… 404, 504, 604, 704, 804, 904… ??</p>

<p>Don’t list your name here! lol</p>

<p>Well it might be different for freshmen and transfers, but this is what we saw…</p>

<p>Guys come on. Just a couple more hours to go. Go sleep or watch a movie or get laid; all this speculation is making ME nervous.</p>
