I’ve been reading past versions of the Art Open House invite threads here and on Reddit and I’ve seen people say that they announce the actual decision date during the event. So I would find what that attendee said credible.
HAha I’ve been seeing some of ya’ll post on Reddit! Usernames don’t match though so I wonder who is who.
@jedenic I dont post there. I’m just a lurker because I think CC is more than enough already. Lol
I made a reddit post but its literally useless, no one has my major so far
@jedenic what’s the name of the thread on Reddit?
@capacapa Nothing specific, I just lurk through r/ucla and r/ApplyingToCollege, and I search phrases like “ucla transfer.” The UCLA sub is not the most responsive though when it comes to transfer questions, and a lot of the posts aren’t upvoted so they don’t gain popularity.
Hypothetically lets say it is the 17th, what day would the website go down for maintenance ?
@jedenic You’ve probably seen my pathetic post then 
I hope it will be announced on 17th…
@leomessi10yan So I just spent 30 minutes going through the Fall 2018 thread (which was a rabbit hole lol) but they did not shut down the portal two days earlier as they did for the freshman.
Instead, the first indication of the date was that the admissions office edited their voicemail recording on the Monday before decisions were released saying that decisions would be released two days later. The first post saying that the admission office has changed their voicemail recording was made at 9:45am. I just tried calling to see but there was no announcement other than they are no longer accepting transfer updates but the office is closed and they make a point of saying that so maybe the recording is different on a work day? I don’t know, I have never called the UCLA admission office.
But to answer your original question, the portal did not go down until 10am on the day of decisions.
i’m ready to be rejected 
I aint tffff :neutral:
@PoliticalNerd @lmgradgoals I applied to public affairs too! Didn’t know it existed until I saw it under majors on the app and was like wut.
DAE have a gut feeling that you’ll be accepted or rejected? Like do you feel like you kinda know already?
@willowstil my problem is I have not gut feeling about either acceptance or rejection and that makes me even more nervous lol
no* with that spelling I’m not getting into UCLA lol
I have a gut feeling I’ll be rejected. idk I just can’t picture myself walking around Campus next fall like I can with some other schools. I also really do not think they will release before Cal. When I went to the UCLA admissions office a couple of days ago they were still reading apps and Berkeley finished reading apps last week. UCLA has a lot more to go through this year than Cal does so I think that’s why. Seems like the same story for UCSD. 
(just my opinion though!)
@Trashception @HeyItsNick I go through periods of feeling like “oh yeah I think I have a decent shot” and then a day later I’m like “what was I THINKING why did I even apply”. I want to believe in myself but I’m worried that I’m setting myself up for crushing disappointment. I have a few friends at UCLA that keep saying “you’ll get in don’t worry” and I’m like “BuT yOu DoN’t kNoW tHaT”
Also trashception I def feel like UCLA will release after Cal
Hey guys I don’t really comment much on this thread and I applied to UCLA in 2014 and got rejected myself. To be honest, i never really thought I had a chance here but I applied anyways this year too. Same for Berkeley and Georgetown. I think it’s all admirable that you guys took a shot anyways and applied. Being rejected isn’t fun and obviously our minds can’t be kept off the thought. However, I’d say try to focus your thoughts on somewhere else and something positive. Personally, UCI is my top and I am panicking myself since they were pretty selective with releasing decisions. Anyhow, my point is that you guys all worked hard in the end and you had the confidence to apply to UCLA. I’d say that’s already grounds to be proud of yourself and whatever happens happens.
I’ve been trying to shift my focus away from going on this thread to focus more on the present. But here I am… lmao
