It’s spring break for me right now and it sucks because I should be relaxing but instead i’m just anxious all the time
Yea talk to me <3
It’s my spring break too. I’m gonna start doing all the work in all of my classes till the last day of class to get my mind off things. I’ll also finish off all the extra credit too cause I’ve got nothing better to do lol.
Hey guys,
I’ve been reading this thread literally every single day to help pass the time, so now I feel like I should contribute to the conversation.
Personally, I was crushed when I was rejected from UCLA as a freshman (I’m sure a lot of you can relate), I still remember what I was wearing and how truly heartbroken I was once I opened the decision. Prior to the decision, I would wear these blue and gold bracelets that I got when I visited UCLA back in 8th grade. They served as my lucky charm I guess. Anyways, after getting rejected, I decided to not remove my bracelets, but instead keep them on and keep fighting to get into the school of my dreams. I typed up a 3 page appeal letter, put it in an envelope, and went to UCLA with the intentions of hand-delivering the letter to the Dean of Admissions: Gary Clark. After going to the undergraduate admissions building with my letter, the workers behind the front desk told me that Gary does not have time for meetings, so I respectfully left. Still, I felt like I couldn’t just go all the way back home without exhausting all of my chances… so I slipped my envelope under his door and hoped that he would somehow read it. After weeks of waiting, I finally got the message that my appeal did not get reversed and that I am still rejected. Somehow, this hurt more than the first time. At this point, I was beginning to lose hope and started to think that my lifelong dream of being a bruin was just merely a fantasy. While I was accepted to other schools, I knew deep down that there was only one school for me. This inner-motivation kept me going, and I immediately enrolled in 2 classes for the summer at a local community college. At first, it felt like time was moving so slowly and it felt like it was going to be forever until I was done with community. Surprisingly, time went by very fast once I started to get into the groove of things and entered my “grind mode.” I would avoid looking at my calendar, and as soon as I knew it… here I am. I’m sure we all wished we could fast forward time at some point during our college experience… yet here we are. 3 or 10 days away from decisions. In 3 or 10 days, the wait will finally be over. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe we are all on this thread for more or less the same reason: because we fell in love with UCLA and had that inner desire that this was the school for us. If it was meant to be, it’ll be. We all worked so hard and care enough to be checking an online forum everyday to ease our minds haha. I truly hope that UCLA is in all of our futures, but I also understand if there is something better out there that we may not realize yet. Let’s all relax and enjoy our last few days before decisions come out. What was meant to be, will be.
Would you guys rather having UCLA do rolling admissions? I think I like the fact that they’re supposedly releasing all the decisions at once because I don’t think I’d be able to stand seeing people get in/not get in while still waiting for my decision!
@gokingsgo1999 yeah honestly I just absolutely hate how UCI has rolling admissions. It’s really agonizing lol
@gokingsgo1999 I think most people would like UCLA to release all the decisions at once. As for me, I like if they release it all at once, so I will have more time to choose another school or more time to plan my next visits to the schools I got selected.
Almost feeling like I’m gonna get accepted or rejected … ?
Rolling sucks. I cant even log into my uci portal LOL
RIP @Princetonian9
Nvm fixed it rn and still waiting 
With larger majors like math engineering psych anthro etc i feel like you know what you need to do to get in minimum wise to be competitive. I feel like with the smaller majors like 15 people and less it depends on what batch of kids decide to apply that year. Hopefully no one does for meeee :naughty: 
whats your major? @Princetonian9
@AeroDE The very popular european studies
That’s good, not sure but UCLA has 45% admit rate for pre-european studies…
Hey guys, current Spanish major here. I’m a little bit anxious because I will currently be missing the last pre-req in the lower division Spanish sequence (aka Intermediate Spanish 2). For Berkeley, I’ll also be missing a culture class (which was not offered by my community college to begin with). As a language major, do you think I’ll be fine missing a couple pre-req classes? Especially if Spanish is not necessarily an impacted major. Right now I’ve got a 3.6 GPA with IGETC completed and solid ECs. Just trying to find some peace of mind, and would appreciate the thoughts from any other lang majors 
I feel like Ling+CS is going to have a big uptick in applicants this year. There are more in this thread than I have seen in any past year’s threads. CS majors are hitting a high popularity in general, but I also feel like a lot of them might get weeded because many see it as an easy alternate to CS, but few people finished the FL requirement and only see the empty assist.org page.
Any other Comparative Literature majors here? So far only found one lol.
@StudentAgain Hey! I applied as comparative literature! (I’m actually a double major so I chose my second major to apply to UCLA with) I didn’t realize there were such a tiny amount of us haha
The wait is killing me can they release decisions already (I know it can’t happen but hey).
I remember that November day I spent the whole afternoon finalizing my UC Applications, hoping April would come sooner after pressing the submit button. Now we in April, just a few days/weeks away from the decision. It’s been really crazy!
