hi everyone, I am literally losing my mind because of the ucla waitlist. I’ve heard of people getting off, but I’m out of state letters of science (communications major) and havent heard back yet. Ive been doing everything to try to get off, from creating a ucla shrine in my room to listening to “get into your desired college” subliminal videos. please send help, don’t know how i’m surviving. I have panic attacks like every second now and I’m not eating
btw I’m committed to cornell but I tbh dont wanna go there its too cold
At this point I would say to make peace with the Cornell decision and get excited for everything that school offers.
I assume being OOS for UCLA you would be full pay?
UCLA has reportedly been taking students off the waitlist. You could call or email and ask if they are still taking waitlisted candidates or if they have filled their class. Keep in mind that not everyone from the waitlist will make it in, even in an unusual year such as 2020. Full pay students and undersubscribed majors will probably have better luck.
Your fixation on UCLA is setting you up for disappointment. Love Cornell. If UCLA happens, that’s great. If it doesn’t, you’ll have a better time and easier adjustment in the fall if you start connecting with Cornell and your future classmates there starting now.
