My DD’s financial aid page is there now. I can see all the grants. Wow, UCLA is way more generous than UCB.
Your son’s stats is very strong. He will get accepted some other good schools.
@ivyforest Where did you access the financial aid?
@richhardry Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately UCLA has gotten to a point that even a 1600 SAT and 4.0 GPA guarantees admission and can no longer be considered a safety for anyone. Any school in the USNWR Top 25 can hardly be considered a safety for most applicants. Good luck with Cal! Remember that the two are not related when it comes to admission.

From OC; upper middle class
Stanford is currently in the process of expanding their arts scene, which involves plucking accomplished musicians annually from the admissions pool (not only music; many of my fellow admits are deeply involved in some other arts form as their “spike”)
yes D got regent
Waitlisted for UCSD, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA. I don’t know how to feel. can someone tell me if they know how many ppl get off the waitlist for these schools?
@DadW2kids Was in in the acceptance letter?
Rejected oos 97 average, 1480 SAT, 32 ACT, ■■■■■■■■ of clubs, sports, extracurriculars, 2 part-time jobs on top of school for 2 years, solid essays. I’m pretty heated rn.
How did you get above a 5.0 gpa?
I’ve been accepted! Unfortunately, I neglected to submit an application for the Alumni Scholarships Program because I did not believe I would receive admission. Is it truly too late to fill out the application?
Did I mention that I got rejected from UCLA today?
Now I’m more determined than ever to get into this school.
Does anyone know if I were to get a part-time job working in one of the UCLA cafeterias as a fry cook would I be able to transfer into computer science?
