UCLA Fall 2016 Admits, Waitlists, and Rejections

Hey UCLA Fall 2016 Applicants,

I saw someone in the UCLA Transfer thread say that we should have a thread of just your status and your stats for ease of access. The UCLA Transfer Thread will be available for discussions and posting as you please, but this thread will be JUST for admissions status and stats, please refrain from “portal is down” “portal is up” posts!!!

Here is a outline to copy/paste and fill in

Great idea.

What a good idea. Thank you!

Does anyone know if there was a thread like this from last year? It would be helpful to have something to refer to.

Maybe we should generalize it for all UC’s, not just UCLA. :slight_smile:

@nidalee That would just be chaotic! Plus it would make it harder for future students to see which admits correspond with which school.

I’ll probably make a thread for Berkeley closer to the date.

@nidalee I made one for that purpose a few days ago. Though it will probably remain largely dead until Berkeley decisions.

However, perhaps an individual thread for UCLA and Berkeley is of more use to the majority of future applicants. After all, people seem to want to gauge their chances at those two schools far above all others.

Jesus man when I saw this thread I immediately check the portal for UCLA. Haven’t had my stomach drop like that in a while.

Guys I hope you all get in ! All the best ! Even if you don’t, don’t panic because college is what you make of it and your college decision doesn’t define you or what you are capable of :slight_smile:

Transfer decisions come out today at 5PM

Really?!? That’s awesome, where did you hear that? I thought it wasn’t until the 29th?

I don’t mean to be rude, but I would like us all to refrain from posts that are not admissions decisions, thank you.
