Official waitlisted thread

<p>Can waitlist check financial aid?</p>

<p>No. You would only get an aid package if you were offered admission. But if you put UCLA as one of your FAFSA recipient, then if you shall accept the waitlist you get an estimate on the aid.</p>

I think the ECs play a large role in UCLA admissions, particularly leadership.
He was accepted at UCSD and UCSB, Chapman with Presidential, plus several others. So he has good options. Still waiting on USC, UCB, and Stanford, all reaches.</p>

General Comments:
Probably was the fact that had one very good section score in each of the three SAT sittings, but had trouble with other sections and UC doesn’t superscore. (But got into UCSD and UCD…) Also, UC has a weird way of scoring EC’s - school newspaper and being president of something counts for a lot; being a hardworking grunt of anything else does not. Oh well, have an EA acceptance at an East Coast school that is ranked higher in the USN&WR rankings, so it’s mostly the ego hit. Glad that others who really wanted UCLA can get the slot.</p>

<p>I guess i have the lowest SAT score among all of you-1910(SAT 1)…waitlisted…atleast better off than a rejection</p>

<p>Happy to be waitlisted :)</p>

<p>@abhip712, my SAT score is way lower than yours; 1740! </p>

<p>Luckily, I did retake in January (and managed to get 1920) and the first step that I did today was sending that score to UCLA!</p>

<p>question: what did you guys put in the additional information? </p>

<p>i don’t have any updated grades since i’m international and the only grades i submit are those from my A levels.</p>

<p>other than that i have no idea what to write? any ideas?</p>

<p>@introverted. I’m doing A-levels as well, so I’m just going to state what my teachers have predicted my grades to be. Though I can’t prove to UCLA that I’m not making it up, it’s better than not mentioning your grades at all I guess.</p>

<p>@Mazorak but i took my A’s 2 years ago so i’ve already submitted my final grades :confused: only just finished my military service.</p>

<p>waitlisted…i cried
sat 2230 (cr 800, m 680, w 750)
sat ii chem 760, math 2 780
ap chem 5, ap stats 5, ap eng lang 3
ahhhh i really hope we can all get in! does anyone know how many people were waitlisted??</p>

<p>@laptop1- I’m not really sure. Unfortunately, UCLA had 72,000 applicants for freshman undergrads, so I assume many of those who were accepted will attend. The yield rate has been increasing every year. Waitlist applicants will most likely be very low :(</p>

<p>the bad part is that ucla doesn’t admit very many people off the waitlist, if any, because many of the people that get accepted (over 10,000) will most likely go to ucla…they expect around 6,000 spots to be filled with freshmen so even if many of the people that got admitted don’t attend, they still won’t bring anyone off the waitlist</p>

<p>^ speculation. UCLA has never used a waitlisted before. No one knows how many people they’ll accept from it.</p>

<p>Is anyone writing anything in the additional info section?</p>

<p>Did anyone get a supplement? Why would they wait list us without giving us a supplement?</p>

<p>after seeing all you amazing people got waitlisted I feel like i am lucky to be waitlisted … I have a 1970 SAT score, not particular extraordinary EC’s(but definitely not bad!)</p>

<p>btw… I wonder if the time that we opt-in to the waitlist affect our priority. and can anyone tell me what else you write on the additional information besides your senior grade? Thanks!</p>
