UCLA Class of 2020 Applicant Discussion

UCLA is the dream for me. Two months away guys !!

I received a supplemental request. For others my UW GPA is 3.82. My fully weighted UC GPA is 4.36 and my SAT is 2080.

@RHSclassof16 do you mind posting what your extracurriculars were?

@bruin2020 I did debate club, volunteered at a thrift store and helped raise money for my high school class. Nothing spectacular.

Thanks @RHSclassof16! I’m just super nervous for March! Is UCLA your top choice?

@bruin2020 Kind of. UCLA and Cal are like 1 and 1A for me in terms of top choice. I’ll be happy if I get into either and if I’m that lucky to get into both that’ll have to be a decision I make later.

Regents scholarship should come out tomorrow (Feb 1) normally from what I’ve heard. If not, should be soon either way. Keep your eyes peeled!

@RHSclassof16 Me too! I’d love to go to any UC but UCLA is by far my top choice.

@bruin2020 Yeah well I applied to every UC but Merced. My order of choice goes something like UCLA/Cal, UCI/UCSD, UCSB/UCD, UCSC/UCR

I put my heart and soul into my supplemental essay. So hopefully I get in.

Shouldn’t regents be out today

@dorothylewes that’s what I thought lol

Hmm has anyone been contacted yet??

International students can get regents right?

@RHSclassof16 are you in state? I’m OOS.

@bruin2020 I am. That doesn’t really help me that much (if at all) in terms of getting in though.

Actually, @RHSclassof16, it might this year since UCLA and Cal want to increase in state enrollment, which means reducing OOS enrollment.

I also found that the UC system would stop funding out of state financial aid stating this fall.

Which would mean that less OOS would be able to attend due to the rising costs, and thus the UC’s may have to admit more OOS students in order to protect their OOS yield. Do you think this is sound logic, or am I being too optimistic?

@bruin2020 I have no idea tbh. I honestly don’t think things are really going to change that much in regards to that. But we will see.

When does UCLA send out Regents invites?

Tomorrow (Feb1 for US, Feb2 for Australia)
