Looks like mostly girls getting off the waitlist
 maybe that’s one of the institutional priority?

I am a female and I am still waiting for mechanical eng.

Wait so they tell you if you are denied before the waitlist closes? Or do all the denials come once they decide to close the waitlist?

I have always wondered why it seems like females are mainly the ones getting off the waitlist. I thought there was a gender imbalance at UCLA with about 60% females and only 40% males so I assumed that they would try to balance that by offering admission to males on the waitlist.

309

well not all females got in, but most of the people who got in were females
 so maybe one of UCLA’s goal is to have gender balance and they’re trying to pick more females to make it up?

Does the waitlist also consider alternate majors or do they try to place you in your first-choice major?

311

Wouldn’t it make more sense to admit males to make up for the imbalance since it’s 60/40 in favor of females? Son just told me he found out two more girls who got in this morning and one was for CompSci and Engineering.

wow I didn’t know pendulum has swung so far: University of California, Los Angeles has a total undergraduate enrollment of 32,119 (fall 2021), with a gender distribution of 40% male students and 60% female students .

Son will not have a chance. Not first gen not low income Asian male.

316

maybe UCLA’s Class of 2027 has a gender ratio of 59/41 while their institutional goal is 60% females?

317

Possibly, but even then a 1% discrepancy wouldn’t mean that much. Son says most UCLA 2027 social media pages with committed students are females too. In the grand scheme of things, just hoping they start admitting more males off the waitlist since from what I’ve seen it’s mainly females.

apparently first-generation and females are top priority for UCLA

319

just chiming in but theres mainly females posting about those pages for all colleges, not just UCLA. From what i’ve seen guys are less inclined to post things on instagram in general (also some pages make you pay to post)

Yep, that’s what I told my son since all that social media stuff is more for the females. Still hoping for good news soon though.
