I appreciate your response! @10s4life 
Another record:
“With more than 113,000 applications for fall 2018 freshman admission, UCLA has set a record for most applicants, driven in large part by a historic increase in applications from California high school students”
Best of luck to all!.
@sandiegodad2017 please share the link to the quote. What is the reason for the increase?
@Camchar88 it’s on the daily bruin newspaper. Reasons: UCLA’s increased popularity, new is news and world report ranking, so cal location, sports.
It’s 113k freshman applicants. It was 97k when I applied for the class of 2020.

Essays (rating 1-10, details): I’m really bad at judging my own writing, so I’m not really sure. One was a cut down version of my common app, so I think it’s pretty good. The other three were about extracurriculars. They weren’t too out there or unique, so I hope I didn’t bore them. The rep who came to my school said they wanted more content than story, so I did that. They definitely weren’t anything special or mind blowing though. I have some regrets about not using a different essay. I’m just really hoping they were okay.

Does anyone have any helpful insight into the Musical Theater auditions at UCLA?
@cc4help - I’ve never heard this. Can anyone confirm? Link from prior years?
@sandiegodad2017 it’s called the regents scholars, I know for Berkeley they notify you in January and you’re asked to interview for a scholarship. I think all campuses have them, not sure how they work though
