@AurangFall17 It was rather more competitive this year
So, around how many people got waitlisted? I did, but was wondering if it really means anything, or if basically everyone gets on it.
@ByteZz Because it’s insanely hard to get in? Engineering is a whole different level than L&S (which is already hard enough).

Congrats on your acceptance! UCLA historically has a much higher medical school acceptance rate compared to UCSD (50% vs 35%). Grade deflation is probably worse at UCSD. But UCs in general do much worse in med school admissions compared to similarly ranked private schools. The unfortunate reality is grade inflation is rampant at privates and this really helps getting through the initial screening at med schools. Unless your a URM you will likely get screened out at a lot of schools with less than a 3.6.
good luck!

Do you mean the Regents Scholar overnight? If so you have to be accepted as a Regents scholar. @ready4college21
Never mind! You’re OOS so probably talking about BOE! My bad @ready4college21
@cometbulldog I had a pretty good gpa and class rank and I took a lot of APs, but my EC’s weren’t that impressive (though I did have a paid internship over the summer)
However, I’m surprised to receive aid just bc I don’t think I’m that in need and considering I’m oos
Son was accepted!

And for those of you who read this in the future and are worried like we were: For his fine arts requirement, he had one semester of ceramics and one semester of drawing (couldn’t fit the second semester of ceramics into his schedule). So, he did not technically have one full year of the same fine art, but that didn’t prevent admission (and he was never asked for any supplementary information about it). Nonetheless, with the next kid we will make sure to have that full year of the same fine arts requirement met, so we don’t have that stress.
Acceptances: UCLA, Michigan, Virginia, Texas, Cal Poly SLO, Colorado, and Colorado School of Mines (all for civil engineering)

Congrats to all of you. Go Bruins!
I probably didn’t move onto the next round of alumni scholarships if I haven’t seen anything yet, but does anyone know where we can find this out?
Yeah I did mean the BOE! @treander1 Thanks though
