She had a bad semester at beginning of her Junior year due to Covid return to school shock and a family traumatic event. She got a C in an AP class and 2 B’s in her JC classes. She recovered and got all A’s the next semester. She didn’t submit any AP scores as she got bad scores on all due to poor instruction during Covid. She also attends a Title 1 school, but I am not sure if that matters or not. She also serves on her school Site Council representing the students.

Did UCLA send emails? We saw the acceptance in the portal, but seems odd that there was no email. Thanks!

Please what’s the meaning of ECs?

Although they do not admit by major in L&S, if accepted off the waitlist, you will be admitted into the primary major stated on your UC application.
