<p>@12bank It basically gives me an option to click on. opt-in the waitlist or reject the opportunity </p>

1663

<p>@Ikm291 Yeah I remember only half of applicants who got admitted by UCLA actually attended last year. However, it’s still a super ■■■■■■ feeling to wake up with a waitlist decision on a Saturday. </p>

1664

<p>@iceburgzhang i feel you
 but don’t lose hope just yet!</p>

1665

<p>I wonder why i wasn’t waitlisted with a 3.95 :(</p>

1666

<p>How do we change majors? (not impacted)
is it possible?</p>

1667

<p>Waitlisted
Pre-Economics
3.75
TAP certified, PTK, Honors program completed, Worked near full-time in a business office, did sports until injured.</p>

<p>i had a 4.0 until last fall, when i got hurt and my grades dropped, C in calc, B in econ.</p>

<p>should i appeal? or should i write about it in the 7,000 character limit box on the waitlist page</p>

<p>anyone else waitlisted?</p>

1668

<p>@Ikm291 Yes that’s the only thing we can do right now lol. Hope both of us’ll hit in Haas nxt week. :)</p>

1669

<p>My application is still under review. Is that a good or bad thing? </p>

<p>@Moshe1010</p>

<p>I’m in the same boat, but instead of withdrawing, I didn’t get into a planned course, so I’ll have to notify UCLA admissions of that change in my schedule.</p>

<p>A lot of people are saying it won’t have an affect on your admission as long as it isn’t a major prereq, one of the core classes for your IGETC (math and english), and doesn’t affect your 60 transferable units.</p>

<p>Make sure to notify them of the change BEFORE you send official transcripts. Any surprises can lead to your admission being revoked.</p>

<p>I think you can switch during orientation day for transfers. Someone here said you can as long as it is nonimpacted and you take premajor courses if there are any.</p>

1672

<p>I haven’t finished all the prereqs
ya, maybe I really shouldn’t go
I don’t want to get stuck in my other major or have to stay a year longer
I should get in contact with someone about this</p>

1673

<p>Pretty sure this was mentioned earlier on (just can’t find what page) but to those of you accepted to both UCLA and UCSD, what are you going to do about the transfer days being overlapped? I have no idea why I thought UCSD had two dates, thus allowing me to visit both campuses.</p>

1674

<p>@ccnube</p>

<p>I’m planning on switching too!</p>

<p>I looked at some of your posts and you’re a Spanish major so, if you decide to change your major, it’d most likely have to be within the school of humanities. I heard it’s easy to transfer within a department/division, but outside of it? I don’t know
</p>

<p>Don’t feel discouraged! Go to UCLA, take some of the classes of the major you want as electives, and if you want to make the switch, you can do so by going to their department and asking their academic advisers. </p>

<p>Edit: I just realized I called you ccnude
sorry</p>

1675

<p>@cayton so assuming I get rejected from ucla and berkeley
 any idea on what to do? Seeing you’ve been on this forum for years, would taking a gap year do anything? I just have no idea what I would do. </p>

1676

<p>No problem, and ya, I applied as a Spanish major. I will consider, but it is seeming like I would have to fight for my life there (metaphorically)

1677

<p>congrats y’all! </p>

<p>On another note, is anyone else slightly discouraged by their financial aid letter? Anyway of trying to get more aid now that we are admitted? </p>

1678

<p>@GreatestThe‌ </p>

<p>I guess you could just reapply next year and apply to some safety schools just in case you get rejected again That’s what I’d do. Do you have some safety schools that accepted you this year?</p>

<p>@tinydancer13‌ </p>

<p>It’s not set in stone. It’s just a guesstimate based on what you provided on your fafsa. I think they finalize the amount you get once you submit your SIR and/or verify your FAFSA with irs links to yours (and/or parents) tax forms. </p>

<p>I haven’t been able to link my taxes with the irs through fafsa, so I hope they’ll give me more once I do, but I should be grateful for what I got</p>
