UCLA Fall '20 Transfer Waitlist Thread

It was

I donā€™t think they are going to let me off the waitlist, it just hurts to know that I am going to get rejected in August. Like why even put me on the waitlist when iā€™m never going to get offā€¦ its very heartbreaking

Hey @Waitlist2020, donā€™t say that. Last year, there was a Pre Psychology major that was accepted on August 10th!!! A lot of things can happen to students last minute, so donā€™t discredit the work youā€™ve done to get to this point in the transfer process. Keep in mind that itā€™s still been less than a week since theyā€™ve started taking people off of the waitlist.

yes, i signed up for a bruin-to-bruin one hour meeting for this tuesday, and my orientation date is august 14th i believe. however, i submit that i had to drop a summer course since it was going to be offered abroad in england, and obviously due to covid it was canceled. so now i have to wait to make sure my admission is still valid.

Iā€™m not able to sign up for orientation and Iā€™m not sure why because I already SIRā€™d

Any math majors gotten off from the waitlist?

@idkbro31 Hey me too idk why i canā€™t sign up. But It saying additional info for residency might be required for me and Iā€™m thinking thatā€™s why.

@3Collegeuni I was not able to sign up either. I emailed them about it, hopefully they respond soon

@svoxut Whatā€™s their email? did u email the admissions?

@svoxut nevermind I emailed them. Thank you tho

hope everyone gets an email tomorrowā€¦ wishin all the best for u guys

hey for those who got off the waitlist, how were you guys able to sign up for bruin to bruin and orientation?

@dcruz0625 Iā€™m uncertain about the bruin to bruin, but for the orientation you can access it on MyUCLA. Once you login to MyUCLA, you should be able to see a ā€œNew Studentsā€ tab and after you click on it you can select ā€œNew Student Orientation.ā€ It will request that you submit a pre-orientation form, but will basically have steps for everything you need for signing up at the college after you fill out the form.

anyone got accepted today? it seems many in state and TAP students hve been accepted lately. I havenā€™t heard ppl from pre econs yet :ā€™( hopefully weā€™ll get an email this week

@ā€œtransfer20!ā€ i checked and it says that i canā€™t enroll for an orientation yet because i havenā€™t sirā€™d but i just did yesterday. is there a time period that it processes that iā€™ve sirā€™d already?

For everyone that was taken off the wait list: I see there are a ton of deadlines that have passed as of June 1, and since I didnā€™t think Iā€™d get into UCLA I didnā€™t really prepare by sending transcripts or anything. Now Iā€™m rushing to add it to my FAFSA, get in contact with school reps, send transcripts, and figure out if I want to go to UCSD or UCLA all by 11:59 PM June 11. Iā€™m wondering, could being accepted after deadlines negatively impact us? If so, Iā€™ll probably stick to UCSD since Iā€™m all caught up with the pre-enrollment process there.

@cmonucla20
yup i got in off the waitlist on 6/6. Molecular Bio major

I called New Student/ Transitions Programs, the people who take care of orientation and I told them that I got off the waitlist on the 6th and sirā€™ed that day but that I still have not been able to sign up for orientation. She told me that because it was over the weekend it make take up to 2-3 business days to process and that it should show up to sign up soon. She also said that signing up late wont affect our priority on anything and that if after a couple days it still is not showing up to just try a different browser.

Hey guys, any physiological science majors hear back yet?

@svoxut I agree. Similar situation happened to me as well! I also called UCLA technician rn and they said weekend SIRs takes a few days to update. Currently, I still have no access to orientation but I did get SIR confirmation. Expecting the system to update tonight or tomorrow.

Hope this helps out anyone else.
