<p>april 1?!</p>
<p>The 96 have got more attention then the 47,000 that applied last year.</p>
<p>So, next year's admissions decisions are being sent out on April Fool's Day. Great. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>double check your admission letters then 07ers :p</p>
<p>11ers........................................... ;)</p>
<p>I imagine the anxiety as the new class waits almost another month ..</p>
<p>UCLA admissions has been pretty horrendous recently, hopefully this will fix things.</p>
<p>this really sux! but are you sure about the april 1st part? or is there a good chance it will be earlier?</p>
<p>I'm glad that I'm part of the class of 2010. I didn't get into Berkeley so had UCLA adopted this admissions process a year earlier I might not have gotten in. ;)</p>
<p>i think for the 2nd prompt, i'm going to write about how i'll be african american culture to UCLA, because there's very little of that apparently with about 3% being African American.</p>
<p>haha is that cheating?</p>
<p>lol...not cheating...</p>
<p>just...using it to your advantage :p</p>
<p>yea im with thefrizzle656. While i wouldn't have minded going to the other UC's, i would DEFINATELY not have made it to ucla had it not been for the lack of "Hollistic admissions."</p>
<p>Disguised quotas by another name</p>
<p>Can anyone explain what exactly are the implications of this new admission's process? I heard from people this now gives an excuse to admit underqualified students if they have a sob story? But im not totally sold on that idea...please fill me in</p>
<p>no, mustang, although it could be a possible scenario. I think the whole reason for a hollistic process is so that there is more diversity on campus. As the whole world knows, there were only ~96 blacks admitted out of a class of 4k. That's pretty darn sad, considering that a good number of those were PROBABLY athletes. So the effect it will have on future applicants is that there will be more competition amongst the Over represented minorities (asians, whites) and it'll be easier (stats wise) for under represented minorities (blacks) to make it in.</p>
<p>The actual effects will be mixed. As of now, we are in an environment that isn't representative of the real world. More than 1% of the intellectual community is black, so we should be in a more diverse environment so we can be acclimated to the real world. However, the overall quality if the student body will remained balanced because the increased filtering on ORMs will result in higher averages for them, and the decreased filtering of URMs will result in lower averages for them. The other side of this issue is that it just isn't fair to deny more qualified applicants for less qualified ones. Hey thats life.</p>
<p>Does anyone think UCLA admissions will go back to the way they did it before?</p>
<p>When was the last time they changed the personal statement prompts?</p>
<p>so you can expect more high stat applicants to be rejected this year</p>
<p>I think UCLA will like this new system and won't revert back to the old one...</p>
<p>this is great for us people who don't have chance like many others</p>
