Rejected ucla

<p>i think berkeley tap or priority admission is very limited
i once got the letter and contacted the person who was in charge at my community college
but then the criteria for being part of this was
something such as low income or 1st gen to go to college…</p>

<p>Rejected!</p>

<p>Major: Econ; Alt: PoliSci
GPA: 3.85+ (taking 11 units this semester & will be getting A’s in all)
Pre-reqs: All my school offered
IGETC: An art class short
TAP: No
EC’s: Above average
Essays: 11/10
Other: 1st gen, lower income, older student</p>

<p>I’m disappointed b/c I hate rejection in general and UCLA has always been my “dream” school. However, UCSD was my first choice (close by, great Econ program, Triton-Eye, etc.) and I got in.</p>

<p>I won’t be appealing but good luck to those who are.</p>

<p>I’ll still wait to see what Berkeley says but I’m 95% sure I’ll be going to UCSD.</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>DUDE SAME HERE</p>

<p>GPA: 3.96
Major: business admin/arts management
Prereqs all done</p>

<p>i think it was my ec -__- fack</p>

<p>@midnight</p>

<p>So, I know you’re in my 149 class and you probably know me through DSP. But that class is huge. :frowning: any hints?</p>

<p>@ AwesomeStudent & xxhibyexx i’m sorry to hear that. Did you guys find out you were rejected today in the second wave?</p>

<p>I am seriously ready to SIR with Davis now that I know I won’t be going to UCLA.</p>

<p>fack i got rejected today… i guess im in the second wave. this is the most dissapointed i have been in a freaking long time…</p>

<p>ucla biz econ
gpa 3.78
igetc and prereqs all done
ucla tap sent in</p>

<p>this sucks really freaking bad…</p>

<p>chances at cal are like slim to none now… ive gotten in nowhere… this is not good</p>

<p>:( what was your alternate?</p>

<p>i didnt fulfill requirements for another major… cuz they changed it where you couldnt apply as biz econ and econ as alternate vice versa… and they notify us of that like… at the way end… so i just put down environmental science for my alternate… i guess i wasnt good enough for that… AHHHHHHH ucla tap is a joke… it does nothing</p>

<p>did u put down environmental science as your alternate on your original application? Because UCLA says it must have been listed on there when you applied.</p>

<p>Well I was able to find out why I wasn’t admitted.</p>

<p>yeah i got an email from my schools honors office saying that ucla put restrictions on alternate majors. i got this email like 2 months? before the application process. so i put it on the original application. :(</p>

<p>what was the reason johnny?</p>

<p>what was the reasoning johnny?</p>

<p>^ They talked about how it was a competitive year and such. But for me they said because I’m completing 3 pre-reqs( English 1C,Micro Econ, and Calc2) this semester and that for the Biz-econ major in the Econ department they put in certain criteria for admissions to follow. She went on to explain since I didn’t take these classes during the winter quarter which none of my CCC’s offer that I was at an disadvantage. She told me I could appeal if I had a good reason why I had not taken English 1c and Micro Econ during the fall and if my grades were good this semester she said it be worth a shot. I have a very good reason for not taking those classes last semester besides Calc2 since I was taking Calc1 last semester. I mean I’ve acing these classes right now so I plan to appeal and show letters with progress reports from my teachers. I mean its worth a shot and I rather get rejected again and say I tried. It seems as I was at a bit of disadvantage being on the semester system.</p>

<p>For anyone who wants to know why they were rejected I say call it doesn’t hurt and they will tell you.</p>

<p>Hey Johnny~ Where did you call? Can i have the Phone number? So sorry…</p>

<p>Panickbutton, being accepted/denied doesnt define you.
Your one of the few people that i know that received an update for acceptance/denial durign the afternoon. Everyone believes that they wont come out until later this evening around 6</p>

<p>But if they were to come out this afternoon how would that be possible? Because on the decisions page it says that they only update the site once per day. That one time has passed right or am i wrong?</p>

<p>They updated my status at about noon today. Rejected. =*[</p>
