UCLA Graduate School Applicant Thread Fall 18 Cohort

Hello, applying to UCLA for grad school?!?

Lets support each other through the process and update progress.
Over the next few months while applications are open we can help answer questions, and afterwards the process of waiting and then admission notices being released will be an important time to check in, report what happened whether ideal or not and your stats. Afterward it will be more about getting everything done so that transition is smooth and ideal.

I’m applying to the MSW program for Fall 18.

Applications opened on Oct 1st
