@galaxy87 Did your admission letter say with Regents? Son’s decision letter didn’t say Regents/Alumni and Provisional Award Letter/College Financing Plan has all scholarships as 0. Does that mean he wasn’t selected?
they say it in the decisions letter
@10s4life . . . gotcha.
The yield has actually gone up and is almost competitive w/ Berkeley; it was 43% in 2019. Better yield => better standards, lower acceptance rate. UCLA surpassed Berk with 12% last year A/R; the U has to work on catching them with yield.
I was admitted into Theater at TFT, but I don’t know anyone who was admitted into Film and TV Production at TFT.

Congrats to everyone who got in. It’s quite an accomplishment and I hope you decide to spend the best four years of your life as a Bruin. For those of you new to CC, I’m a current ucla student and campus tour guide. If you want to know anything about life at ucla feel free to ask either here or in a PM. I’ll try to answer all questions. Especially since Bruin Day and Discover Engineering are now virtual.
If you were waitlisted, it means you UCLA thought you were good enough to get in they just didn’t have quite enough space. If you opt in the waitlist make sure to write the essay and fill out the opt in app. Here is the waitlist discussion thread: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/2178754-ucla-class-of-2024-waitlist-discussion.html#latest
If you got denied, don’t worry too much about it. I know it’s disappointing news but there’s gonna be a perfect fit for you. In the end academics and ranking only matter so much and it’s really the experience you’re gonna remember. No matter what school you attend you’ll meet your best friends and make awesome memories and you’ll look back and not want it any other way. If you would like to appeal the only grounds for appealing are if there were circumstances not explained in the app that happened prior to submission or if there were missing materials you forgot or mis entered. Note that means senior year grades or additional awards that either go above the allotted space or were earned after you submitted the app are not grounds for appealing.
Again congrats everyone and thank you all for your contributions to the ucla forum. Go Bruins!
@10s4life Just stopped by your part of town to say congrats to those accepted and say how much I enjoyed reading the anticipation of the portals updating. The posts between 5 and 5:30 make quite a comedy routine! There’s some witty ones on here for sure!
Hope all is well in Bruin land for you @10s4life, looks like you are crushing it over here. I’m still cruisin’ on the other side. 
Accepted out of state. Congrats to everyone! Always remember that things happen FOR you, not TO you.
