I just called UCLA to clarify some things!

<p>this was post #36 from the Ucla man up! thread, socal1017 suggested i make a new thread to inform everyone of my findings--</p>

<p>ok. i just got off the phone with her! she seemed kind of annoyed.</p>

<p>but basically i asked her how the financial aid processing works, and so i said:
me: "can you clarify if this is right? so the admissions office first decides who is admitted, then sends the list to the FA dept to have the FA processed for only admitted students right?"
her: "yes, that is correct"
me: "so only accepted students will have their fafsa processed"
her: "yes, we only process the admitted student's fafsas"
me: "ok so, not everybody gets their FA processed then right, only admitted students?"
her: "...yes."</p>

<p>i know i sounded like elle woods in the court room but i dont care. i wanted to make sure she knew what i was talking about.</p>

<p>i asked her about the STOMP conference on friday (4/24) and i said
me: "oh i don't know if i should attend or not.. since i don't know if i will be admitted by then"
her: "thats completely separate from the admissions office"
me: "so i won't know by the 24th?"
her: "you'll know by the end of the month"</p>

<p>basically she just kept saying THE END OF THE MONTH -__-</p>

<p>-- i called at 1:00PM, put on hold for about 13 minutes, dialed (310)825-3101, pressed 1 then 2 then 2 again for the right department</p>

<p>okay I haven’t received my financial aid award does that mean I’m not admitted… this is driving me crazy. ty for calling them.</p>

<p>nice work done!!! sweet cutie… See ya at UCLA… xD</p>

<p>your my hero.</p>

<p>Christie, it doesnt mean that you are not admitted, but it’s more likely those who can see their financial summary, are gurranteed for admissions. </p>

<p>you still got chances.</p>

<p>Thanks cutesterlove!!! I feel so relieved now. Im sure everyone else appreciates it as well!</p>

<p>@ christiana… it’s also relevant to distinguish the difference between ‘financial aid summary’ and ‘financial aid award’… so far as this forum knows, no one can see an award yet, but many of us can see the summary. </p>

<p>the theory, as i understand it: in past years, there was not a single person who saw the summary and did not go on to be admitted the following week/day/hour… whatever… however, there were also people admitted who were unable to see the summary up until their official admission. so… summary = acceptance BUT no summary DOES NOT = rejection.</p>

<p>this makes just checking my URSA that much more tempting for me. i’m gonna break soon! :[</p>

<p>thanks cutester! :)</p>

<p>thanks for calling! Ah this is driving me crazy, I just wish we could know already!!!</p>

<p>Ty cutie
<3</p>

<p>love the elle woods questioning nothing could top it other than askking if because u saw ur financial aaid summary on ursa if that meant u were accepted because of what she stated about acceptees having their stuff forwarded to financial aid.</p>

<p>^ … what?</p>

<p>I didn’t get that either…but thanks cutie. You’ve eased a lot of people’s minds. Thanks for being on hold…lol.</p>

<p>[:</p>

<p>Ohhhh ty socal and pinker =) I’m just really anxious right now because I haven’t heard from Irvine and SD either. So far I just got accepted to UCR.</p>

<p>christiana- my friend hasn’t heard back from irvine and sd yet either, she’s nervous right now too, so you’re not alone!</p>

<p>I think even if you were rejected from those, there’s still a chance that you can appeal with a strong improvement in this semester’s grade…+ oil ba~~</p>

<p>Cutie…u r so sweet…THank you for the info</p>

<p>muchos gracias! :)</p>
