Another Misleading Email from UCLA Financial Aid?

[palmspringsmom]

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>My daughter is on the waitlist for UCLA. She just got the following email from UCLA financial aid. I am assuming that this another mistake by the financial aid office, since she has not received an email offering her admission. Has anyone else gotten this email?</p>

<p>Every student, or possible student, received this email. Basically, UCLA fin-aid is limiting the time students can come in and talk to counselors so they can “work harder at processing” financial aid offers.</p>
