UCLA Class of 2024 Waitlist Discussion

I also got in this morning! In-state L&S, pre-international development studies major!
UW & W GPA & Capped GPA (10-11, before senior year): 3.92 & 4.46 & 4.23
Senior year: got 1B in Calc BC
APs taken: 2 in junior year (APUSH, APES), 5 in senior (AP Gov, AP Lang, AP Chinese, AP Bio, AP Calc BC)
SAT: 1520 (730 R/W, 790 Math), 22 essay
Extracurriculars: nothing spectacular - no awards (not even Scholar of Distinction) but had a non-paid internship as a newspaper intern, was a leader at my local volunteer group, was the founder of 1 club at my high school and VP of another.
My LOCI wasn’t even related to what I wanted to major in! I wrote about how I wanted to take advantage of UCLA’s pre-dental opportunities because they have a graduate dental school there. I also wrote about how I loved UCLA’s dance culture. ~5000 characters and I didn’t get anyone to edit it before submitting so it was kind of rough too lol

@letmein000 you can SIR to UCLA and wait for the confirmation before withdrawing your other SIR, but I wouldn’t wait more than one day to withdraw after submitting the SIR. i doubt its a mistake! congrats and be proud that you got in!!

Note: remember that you don’t get the 250$ back but if you put a deposit on housing or anything else you should get that money back.

Daughter got in this morning!
IS, SoCal area. 35 ACT. 4.3 weighted. Biz Econ

Daughter got in off the waitlist this morning around 9:15. IS, business econ major; 33 ACT; 3.9/4.4 w/uw GPA. Very excited.

has anyone gotten in for history? just wondering because i dont think ive seen anyone on this thread get in for it. ive mostly seen bio and biz econ

is it just me or there has been a lot of waves recently I’m so scared ahh

@doubledog Congratulations! Same major and also Asian in-state. I also had 2 B’s first semester and I had six AP classes. :slight_smile: I’m glad we both got in.

I’m guessing this was mainly an in-state wave with a few OOS. I know its too early to lose hope but I am slowly losing hope of getting off the waitlist sigh.
Congrats to everyone tho !!!

DD accepted this morning off the waitlist. Environmental Science. In-state (Silicon Valley area). 34 ACT. She was already very committed to UCSD (bought 2 tees!) and had turned down UCSB Honors. Idk what she is going to do. As a mom I think UCLA should have just straight up accepted her in March.

Got in this morning!
In-state L&S
UW GPA: 3.98
W GPA: 4.71
Capped GPA: 4.22
APs: four 4s, one 3, two more tests planned for senior year
SAT: 1530 (760 R/W, 770 Math), 17 essay (not very good lol)
Extracurriculars: cross country (4), track and field (4), film program (4, 3 with leadership), CSF (3)
Awards: AP Scholar with Distinction, National Merit Letter of Commendation, a few school/district academic awards
My LOCI was just my first semester senior grades (all As) and a few words about why UCLA is my first choice. Only about 700 characters out of 7000. I honestly think the most important part of using that space is stressing that you will commit to UCLA if you get in. They want those high yield numbers.

I got in! OOS and Pre Public Affairs. Amped but now there are more decisions to make lol.

lmao how are there still no cs/engg

I got the email at 915, got in for pre-history in-state!

GPA: 4.35
4 year marching band member
3 years of jazz
VP of my schools MUN club
13 APs
I used almost all the 7000 characters for the LOCI, wrote about how I recovered from a bad experience by pushing myself this year. I had straight As fall semester senior year.

Please keep in mind these waitlists can go into July, don’t lose hope!

Does anyone know how housing works for students accepted off of the waitlist? It says the applications were due yesterday but I was not aware because I just got off the waitlist a couple days ago.

Have to think they are holding out on Samueli offers for some reason - that’s a separate school from L&S so hoping they have their own schedule for the waitlist.

I GOT IN THIS MORNING OMG
4.6 UC GPA
4.0 UW
26 ACT
1260 ACT
7 AP classes
Don’t lose hope anyone can get in!!!
Already committed!!!

I wish that UCLA would just send me a letter of regret early if they’re not going to let me in off the waitlist.

I GOT IN THIS MORNING 5/2!!

In-state, L&S
UW GPA: 4.0
W GPA: 4.5

took 3 AP’s this senior year, 1 dual enrollment class, got a valley championship in a speech tournament and did a lot of volunteer work which I wrote in my waitlist letter. Also talked about clubs I wanted to join at UCLA, professors I wanted to meet, and how I saw myself being successful there! Also said that UCLA was still my #1 choice and that I would choose it over any other school! Good luck to everyone else out there!

got accepted off the waitlist this morning at 8:30!! i got the congratulations email from financial aid first and then an update to my portal.
is biz econ major, pretty good stats
i got all a’s first semester senior year with 4 AP’s and a dual enrollment class.
not going to accept because i already committed to usc and it’s cheaper for me to go there instead of ucla. hopefully declining my offer will open up another spot to one of you guys!!

Just got home after a run, and found out I’ve been accepted! Let’s go, guys! Congratulations!!
