UCLA Class of 2018 Official Decisions/Discussion

<p>Wait what happened during the UCSD notification?
I got a call from them about 3 days before they actual released so luckily I didn’t have to go through whatever this was :O</p>

<p>@Jhsu320 their portal crashed because so many students tried to access their decisions before they were all ready. </p>

<p>I have track practice until 5 exactly, sooo perfect distraction. :)</p>

<p>Is it around 5pm PST? </p>

<p>Do you guys know if they send out emails at the same time? or no?</p>

<p>@Yogiraffe for UCSD they sent a mail a few days after the decisions were out, so I am guessing its the same for UCLA too.</p>

<p>LOL…any other parents enjoying this thread? It’s fun watching all of the students sweat in anticipation. My daughter is one of them, but it’s still fun.</p>

<p>In MY day, back in the 90’s…I’m ancient, I know…there was no internet or smartphones. We had to wait for snail mail. A lot of schools sent their acceptance letters on brochure looking prints, and they weren’t folded, so if you got a large thick envelope, you got accepted. If you got a small thin one, you got rejected. Things have definitely changed. </p>

<p>Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>@bkybub, so am i, hope we get in. </p>

<p>@dracarys what if you were waitlisted?</p>

<p>When are we getting the emails? Is it around 5pm PST?</p>

<p>@sweetcherryxo - I don’t believe you are going to get an email. At about 5PM-6PM, decisions will be posted on the UCLA admission portal at <a href=“https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/myApplication/Status.aspx”>https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/myApplication/Status.aspx&lt;/a&gt;. You’ll need to go there and check. Just keep checking this forum around 5; everyone will start posting when they see decisions are up. (And keep your fingers crossed that UCLA doesn’t pull a UCSD.)</p>

<p>I’ve seen a few conflicting times/timezones posted; what time will they be released in Eastern Time?</p>

<p>Just want to wish all of you students good luck. I’m a parent and I’m nervous beyond belief so I can just imagine how nervous you all are. I honestly don’t remember it being this stressful in my day!</p>

<p>@theonewhoknocks </p>

<p>If the results are being posted between 5-7pm PST, they’ll be posted over here (EST) between 8-10pm. </p>

<p>Good luck! ^_^</p>

<p>@theonewhoknocks - it appears from this forum that decisions were posted at 5:30PM PDT last year, a little earlier than the year before. UCLA hasn’t promised an explicit time, just “the evening of Friday, March 21”. </p>

<p>7 hours to go!</p>

<p>@kaadonoble1995 …ha ha. Seriously, if memory serves, that was more of a medical school and Law school thing. They called them “alternate lists.” At the undergrad level, it was more or less you either got in or you didn’t. </p>

<p>Why does everyone keep talking about 5pm PST? Aren’t we on Daylight Savings time now?</p>

<p>Do the UC’s send acceptance letters through the mail? Or is it all done online?</p>

<p>@bkybub </p>

<p>I’m under the impression that they post decisions online <em>and</em> mail acceptance packets, which are delivered after the results are posted. </p>
