I did. I included my fall grades and basically wrote a paragraph about how UCLA is my top choice and how I would succeed at UCLA.
anyone get off of samueli yet??? PLEASE @ ME
I got accepted off the waitlist today around 11:15 am out of state!
Sat 1240
4.0 gpa
Not many ecs
Really good essays
I canāt believe it.
so i am assuming everyone got off L&S and not samueliā¦? mannnā¦
@doonglover samueli is the engineering school. I feel like more people will get of L&S as itās the most applied.
Iām just curious to know how they decide to make waitlist acceptances. Thereās no way that they donāt rank people on the waitlist to some extent.
No one has posted here about getting into Samueli off the waitlist - doesnāt mean there hasnāt been any as CC is a small sample but I would not be surprised if there is a small wave for CS and engineering after tomorrow
In-state student here. To all of you OOS student who have gotten off the waitlist: did you guys all get all Aās on your senior first semester report card? Iām tryna see if I can still get in with one B (math) in my first semester. My overall UW GPA is a 3.90 right now (3.92 before) and my W GPA is a 4.4 (4.37 before).
I hope so!! I am an OOS CS major, and I havenāt seen anyone on reddit or CC getting off the waitlist for samueliā¦ really crossing my fingers that they have not released any samueli waitlists! i hope there will be a wave sometime before deposit is due, just in case!
I continue to believe that the financial crisis is going to have UCLA and other UC schools favoring OOS over IS for the waitlists. The tuition $$ are significantly higher and the schools need every dollar they can secure given the dire financial budget situation from all of these lost jobs and loss of tourism for the rest of the year. The schools will never admit they are doing this, but nobody can legitimately complain when the alternative is a tax increase.
Letās see how many IS get cleared once they start that wave. But reality is I believe this is a particularly bad year to be an IS student on the waitlist.
The yield rate for Samueli has historically been lower than L&S - but Samueli enrollment is about 25% of L&S - so there will be less waitlist offers but chances may be better from a percentage standpoint. The yield and how many are on the waitlist are unknown so donāt lose hope - itās good that no one has posted yet about Samueli. My guess is the #s for Samueli are tight and they are waiting to see final SIR numbers. Hope they do it sooner so all of you can get off the waitlist before the deadline tomorrow.
@StudyEcon you make a good point but a lot of people from OOS are not accepting offers from UCLA even if they got off the waitlist because itās super expensive. Of course those who can afford that will go there but a lot of people from OOS are declining waitlist acceptance offers
Iām in state for Samueli CSE and I hope they let me in bruh I dont want to go to atlanta
do you think the in state yield will go up for ucla because of covid-19? @StudyEcon
@StudyEcon Hasnāt the UC system demanded specific percentage standards on how many OOS students can enter the class of 2024? If you look at the freshman class profiles for 2016-2019, OOS students have always comprised 20-21% of the freshman class and international students 17%. I think UCLA will admit however many are needed to fulfill those percentages ā they wonāt admit more OOS students just because they need the money. Theyāre a public school and should follow UC regulations like in past years. All speculation though, just an anxious IS student here.
@jjwang i agree they are not allowed to admit more than a certain percentage, but for sure they will try to reach that exact percentage in order to maximize profits
Random question, are you allowed to SIR ON May 1? Or does it have to be today/before May1? I was gonna wait until the bitter end (tomorrow) before I SIR to UCSD just in case any of my waitlists came out
Ask your school for an extension - UCSB granted extension for us for another week.
Accepted off waitlist today. OOS, pre-business econ student. 32 ACT. Prob not gunna go tho bc of cost.
@griffen14
you can SIR tomorrow by 11:59 pm. But I would do it early tomorrow just in case.
