UCLA Official Countdown

<p>Heck yeah to UCLA. I wouldn’t even give it a second of a thought. My mind is already set for UCLA.</p>

<p>I’d have to give it some thought, actually. If I’m accepted to both UCLA and Cal, I’ll probably have to spend at least a week mulling it all over.</p>

<p>What time will they update the admissions for transfers? Should we check at midnight?</p>

<p>I’ve heard 5pm</p>

<p>Whhyyy! I won’t be able to sleep at night and then I’ll be up until 5pm. :|</p>

<p>@seanoh</p>

<p>if i get into UCLA I’m SIRing immediately as well. I’m over this college decisions wait bs, and anyways USC is my number 1 and I could hear from them in June so I’m forced to SIR to a UC. I just want to stay in LA -___-</p>

<p>@bear</p>

<p>usc is not releasing until june? isn’t there some type of procedure for this type of thing? like, if their admissions come out after admission decision deadlines for other schools i believe you fax them your acceptance letter and request a decision from them, i know that’s what brown university does. june though? that is batsht!</p>

<p>USC last release is like 1-2 week before your decision is due to UCs.</p>

<p>Alas! I have found the UCLA thread. LOL</p>

<p>@ Postsecret:Good luck with the comm major! You have a great chance. I couldn’t hack it so I applied as an anthro major =]</p>

<p>I applied as a comm major at SB, SD and Davis.</p>

<p>oh for usc you just sir to a uc and wait pretty much till usc lets you know</p>

<p>My friend had to SIR at ucla and wait for USC. She ended up going to SC. You just loose the money you payed when you sir</p>

<p>@jmk7: Aw, really? I haven’t visited SB yet but from what I’ve heard and googled, it looks gorgeous. What didn’t you like about it? And yes, good luck to us both!</p>

<p>@iDizzle: Thank you! I really hope I don’t regret it – I considered switching majors more times than I can count, but decided to just take a chance. :confused: Whenever I see the Comm transfer stats for UCLA, I want to go back in time and strangle myself (I have a complicated academic history.) Anyway, I’m so glad I’ve found other comm majors! Where do you want to go?</p>

<p>@ Postsecret: Yeah the 2011 transfer admissions profile for the comm major makes me retch every time I look at it. LOL. Yeah I have some bad grades that lingered from when I attended ccc back in 05 so it brought my over all gpa down. Your chances look really good though. </p>

<p>Well I really wanted to go to LA at first since my bro goes there but at this point I’ve decided to stick with my Comm major instead of anthropology. So in a way I kind of want to be rejected from LA that way I don’t have to choose between UCLA(anthro) if I get in, or communications somewhere else. lol. But my top choices at this point would be SD, Davis and SB for comm. Go comm! lol</p>

<p>compare your stats with '10. our applicant numbers are around the same as that yr since last yr, there were about 1000 more applicants.</p>

<p>@iDizzle: Not according to my counselor - and I quote, “I had a student with 4.0 and 1 prereq missing, and she was rejected from UCLA comms. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” I’ve also gotten used to the slight wince counselors/reps give when I tell them my major. Oh well!</p>

<p>Did you TAG to SD? Their comm program is really good, but you’re a great candidate for UCLA anthro - I think you’re in. Get ready to make a tough decision! ;)</p>

<p>@Philosoup: I just looked, and for my major, transfers had an even higher GPA in 2010 than in 2011. Oy vey.</p>

<p>Anxiety. </p>

<p>So can anyone shed some light on whether the decisions will be released at midnight or 5pm?</p>

<p>USC? when? when? when? june?</p>

<p>@Postsecret: lol. My brother has a friend at LA who is a comm major but they got in with a 4.0. The nice thing about LA though is the “holistic” deal which means even if your gpa isn’t great they may still consider you based on your PS etc. I did TAG to SD but i only had a 3.49 when I submitted the TAU so I didnt qualify =[. But I already got accepted to SB’s comm program so I have a definite backup. =]. Where else did you apply for comm?</p>

<p>@iDizzle do you know by any chance know if your brother had an easy time making friends and what not, as a commuter student to UCLA?</p>

<p>@ Chelz: He lives on campus. lol.</p>
