<p>i heard not everyone gets parking permits at ucla... how likely will i get a parking permit if i'm an incoming freshman, living on campus.. i don't have any special things that give me points like being an athlete</p>
<p>does it help to apply for parking permits as soon as they start accepting apps ?</p>
<p>2bad youre not an athlete, go file a civil liberties lawsuit because youre being discriminated</p>
<p>i would suppose so on applying early part</p>
<p>that doesn't even answer my question.. do i even stand a chance of getting a parking permit ?</p>
<p>yes, but i think its more of a random lottery. one of my friends was just like you, she had nothing special, applied, and got a parking permit as a freshman! she said she was really lucky though.</p>
<p>ohh.. do upperclassmen get more priority than freshman for parking permits ?</p>
<p>hey j3ff, if u get a permit, and i end up at ucla. we can go explore LA (party, etc) and stuff lol</p>
<p>i think it goes by a point system... you get points for living off campus, or needing to commute, or being upperclassmen, or holding an off-campus job, or alumni scholar/regents scholar, etc. anything that would require you to have more NEED for a car.</p>
<p>lol what if my need is i don't wanna be bumming rides all the time when i go out</p>
<p>yeah i heard nightlife is pretty boring in ucla if u dont have a car =(</p>
<p>I plan on communiting from about 20 miles out and was informed I'd likely get a pass.</p>
