<p>How many people got wait listed last year? Is it a huge number? Are there any stats about being accepted off of the list? IS THERE ANYONE WHO GOT ACCEPTED OFF THE WAIT LIST OR KNOWS ANYONE WHO DID?????????????? Please help. I'm dying. I had my next four years planned in Westwood. Please help.</p>
<p>Instate
GPA 4.33
ACT 31
Full AP senior schedule, twelve AP's total.
All EC slots filled with meaningful, long term activities.
Great essays.
Was told by school staff I'd get in.
I have no clue what happened.</p>
<p>About 3,000 last year were waitlisted. About 200 or something were accepted off the waitlist. Personally, I know someone who was rejected off the waitlist…the decision came around late April.</p>
<p>The info I saw stated that last year 4,600 were waitlisted, 2,900 opted in, and 482 were admitted. It also stated that there were 987 appeals and 48 were admitted.</p>
<p>Last year many people from my school got off the UCLA wait list. However, it might be different/more selective this year since the freshman class last year was 500 students too large.</p>
<p>A lot of students from my school got waitlisted last year and all of them got in. I think it varies year by year as well as the regions the waitlisted students are in.</p>
<p>same here… are we suppose to write a letter? or any academic changes??
but im glade that i pulled of straight A with 4 AP on fall (7 classes total)</p>
<p>I was accepted from the waitlist last year, as were both of my roommates.</p>
<p>It’s really a crapshoot; I had a 4.24 overall GPA and a 32 ACT, and a bunch of ECs. My friends both had lower SAT/ACT scores than I did, but they were into sports and I wasn’t (dunno if this made a difference).</p>
<p>For the essay thing, I just wrote about how I’d really like to go there.</p>
<p>I found out on May 4th that I was accepted.</p>
<p>I think that’s all I can remember that would help, but I’ll try to answer anymore questions you have.</p>
<p>@Lrn2Coexist: you just gave me hope lol. how long was the thing you wrote to them? and did you send yours in right away or you don’t think it matters?</p>
<p>Hey guys I got waitlisted too, and I was wondering if that stat someone posted above (4600 waitlisted, 2900 opted in, 482 admitted) could actually be different from what it seems? Could there actually have been more than 482 who got off the wait list? I mean, not everyone who gets off the wait list decides to attend right? That 482 could just mean the number of people who got off the wait list who decided to attend. Sorry, I’m probably wrong, but I’m just grasping at straws here, trying to find positives :)</p>
<p>@NlaNla123 So the 482 is all the people who got off the wait list then, including those who chose not to attend. I guess that this means they only needed around 292 students and kept on taking people off the wait list until they got that number. This probably explains the rolling admission and why people got their acceptances on different days.</p>
<p>@cali4niastudent: really? people got their acceptances on different days? ahh im so nervous, i really wanna go there!
have u submitted your waitlist acceptance yet?</p>
<p>Yes I submitted mine the morning after. The thing I’m a bit concerned about is that ucla could admit by major. Does being a bio major mean I’m less likely to get in because its so popular?</p>
<p>cali4niastudent, I think it is! I applied as bio too and got wait listed, despite having scores above their 75th percentile of admitted students… It seems like other majors within humanities/sciences, even undecided, typically can get in with lower scores, GPA, etc. than those with a bio major.</p>
