Rejected by UCLA

<p>I dont know how i am going to wait until tomorrow to call. What are some generic responses i should watch out for when calling to find out the reason?</p>

<p>Mike, thanks for answering!!! Emil, I posted on his fb what you said. I told him to give it a try…you never know!</p>

<p>^^ Exactly, you never know. Let me just say that when I got the UCLA email stating I had been accepted through appeal, I sprinted out of my room in my boxers (it was 8:00 AM), found my Mom, and told her immediately. </p>

<p>Give it a shot, guys!</p>

<p>@ UCLAhopee: Just ask them why you were rejected. Be super polite. State that you completed all prereqs with a competitive GPA and that you don’t understand why you weren’t admitted.</p>

<p>Alright, hopefully i dont get a generic “not competitive enough” response.</p>

<p>I was accepted! :)</p>

<p>Please someone who got rejected. Tell me if you can access the housing application on URSA.</p>

<p>@emilsinclair, is the deal with prerequisites that they be completed before you apply/by the transfer update, and not by the spring semester? i’m finishing my prerequisites this semester and i’m wondering if that would be a valid reason to appeal.</p>

<p>@uclahopee, i really hope you get your answers! make sure to update us tomorrow when you call.</p>

<p>Pessimistic - You can call today. They will tell you exactly why you were rejected, at least they did for me.</p>

<p>Yeah, due to not being able to call tomorrow, i am trying to relieve some anxiety by seeing if anyone else can fill out a housing application. Have ALL decisions been released?</p>

<p>which phone number did you call?</p>

<p>I and my friend are still pending.
4.0 bizecon, 3.86 aerospace engr.</p>

<p>Aren’t they only open 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.?</p>

<p>@Those who were rejected</p>

<p>What do you currently see at the top when you log on to MyUCLA? Your major / summer session student / white bar?</p>

<p>Also, can anyone see the housing application or do you get “unsure of enrollment status”</p>

<p>Please, i know i’m being obnoxious but its killing me to know.</p>

<p>310 825 3101 1-4pm. I didn’t even have to wait on hold. I missed 1 pre-req and they told me that is exactly why I was rejected, despite the 4.0 and regents scholarship etc. Have your UC application # handy.</p>

<p>@thorntonclow-- were you missing the prereq before you applied or are you currently taking the pre-req and they consider that missing?</p>

<p>i hope berkeley or your other colleges you applied to are more lenient! that’s just harsh.</p>

<p>my fd and I missed the pre-req Chem class. He got accepted but I got declined</p>

<p>@dystaxia I have a lot of fds who missed pre-req still get accepted.</p>

<p>@cherryvaseline One of my bosses at a former internship was on UCLA’s Board of Admissions. The schools receive admission decisions from the other schools, and some will choose to reject people who they think will more likely go to the more prestigious school in order to allocate acceptances to other people. It’s how you end up with things like people getting into UCLA but getting rejected from UCSB or Irvine.</p>

<p>wait are we talking weighted or unweighted gpa here?</p>

<p>Tried calling and I’ve been on hold for about 15 minutes.</p>

<p>About every 30 seconds there’s a recorded voice that says, “Thank you for waiting. All of our agents are still busy, please continue to hold.”</p>

<p>But at first I thought he was saying “Thank you for waiting. All of our Asians are still busy, please continue to hold.” :smiley: :smiley: :D</p>
