major strengths- longterm participation at church, teaching the class</p>
<p>I didn't apply for engineering, i'm just asking this question out of curiousity-
but does anyone know why engineering is sent out separately? i thought decisions weren't out til march 15 for everyone. just curious : )</p>
<p>because of the engineering orientation at ucla. engineering applicants need to make traveling arrangements. the orientation is pretty soon, i think 4/8.</p>
<p>ohh i see.
i have a friend who applied to engineering at ucla, and he hasn't heard yet, so i guess that means chances are he wasn't accepted? (he lives in northern california, by the way)
congrats to all of you!
(i applied poly sci, so i still have 9 more days to wait! yuck!)</p>
<p>would physics as first major and neuroscience as alternate major be considered engineering or would we have to wait until the 15 to get notified.?</p>
<p>No, neither Physics nor Neuroscience are considered as Engineering... :rolleyes:
You'll have to wait nine more days for your admission decision.</p>
