I was hoping some decisions would come out today but I guess not
We are in the same boat. Haven’t heard anything yet. Please keep posting on here (everyone) if you hear one way or another. Starting to think they will leave us in limbo forever.
Do you think that they will tell us if we were rejected? Or do we never find out? Sorry that might be a really dumb question
@slclassof2023: You will be contacted either way.
Good news. My s appeal was granted and he was accepted today. Still in shock. Don’t lose hope. Good luck.
@CalifMom3 that is great news! Do you mind sharing what your s wrote about? When did your S submit his appeal? Do you think that they have a maximum number of appeals they accept a year? Sorry about all the questions. Im just anxious to hear back! thx!
My S submitted his appeal on April 2nd I think. It was the second day after they opened it up. We are in state. I have to go back and read his appeal letter. I know he mentioned that he also got into Cal hoping that would have some influence as both are top schools. I have no idea how many appeals they accept. I tried googling for information and the best and most recent I found was a pdf attachment on Ask Mr Sun website. It listed stats for 2015. Over 1000 appeals and 34 accepted. I’ll ask him tomorrow about the essay. And he’s a incoming freshman.
@CalifMom3
thank you so much for responding! Huge congrats again to you and your S…! I am also an incoming instate freshman but I submitted my appeal on the last day it was open. Still hoping for some good news! I saw on the wait list thread that someone said three more appeals were accepted, though im not sure if its true or not. Hopefully there are still more to come. :))
@CalifMom3 huge congratulations! So happy for your son! What time was the decision posted yesterday?
@4everpraying he had AP testing yesterday and when he was done he looked at his email. Not sure exactly the time the email was sent. I’m assuming it was in the a.m. Also, the email was from financial aid congratulating him on his acceptance and how to register. Interestingmy enough his portal still said pending as of last night. Even after he accepted, paid the deposit and created his account. I’ve heard some people are given an email telling them to check their portal and others never receive one but their status changes. I’m sure you are checking both daily. Good luck.
@CalifMom3 Congrats!! was your son on the waitlist?
what was the basis of your sons appeal if i might ask?
I just called admissions. They informed me that you should hear within 6 weeks of your submission!
@ucsbmarryme my s was not waitlisted. He was denied and appealed. No letters of recommendation or LOCI was submitted. Only included the essay that was allowed. It was not 7000 words though.
@alisonma24 a friend suggested we include why UCLA and not other schools, what does he bring that will add to the campus, listing the names of the other UC’s he was admitted into, and I’m drawing a blank on the rest. I’m sorry. This whole thing has been stressful as you all know. I think he also listed certain things UCLA offered that other UC schools/Los Angeles area state schools did not. We tried to imagine them saying “why not Long Beach or UCI etc”. Hope this helps. It was 6 1/2 weeks from the date he submitted.
Anyone hear anything?
nada
Nothing here☹
When did you guys submit ?
@pennyqueen late at night on 4/13
