<p>A friend of mine, or rather my roomate, received an email from a UCLA scholarship because of his ECs. Yet he has not received any admission decision from UCLA. </p>

<p>And on the bottom of the email, it goes, </p>

<p>"This is an announcement of the UCLA Alumni Scholarship opportunities and is not a notification of admission. Admission decisions will be sent directly from the UCLA Admissions Office. The UCLA Alumni Association maintains its own schedule and assumes no responsibility for the timing, policies or decisions of UCLA Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools."</p>

<p>Does that mean he is admitted?</p>

<p>Have you read the paragraph yourself?</p>

<p>

Hahaha</p>

<p>Reading is fundamental OP…
“This is an announcement of the UCLA Alumni Scholarship opportunities and is NOT A NOTIFICATION OF ADMISSION. Admission decisions will be sent directly from the UCLA Admissions Office. The UCLA Alumni Association maintains its own schedule and assumes no responsibility for the timing, policies or decisions of UCLA Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools.”</p>

<p>lol this is really funny</p>

5

<p>Have the subsequent posters read the paragraph?</p>

<p>Maintains their own schedule; in other words they don’t care about the time line set forth by the admissions office to release decisions (officially). Presumably UCLA finishes processing applications some days before their official release date, and beforehand distributes decisions/rejections to concerned departments (financial aid, scholarship committees, alumni associations, etc.) so that they can begin working on their ends.</p>

<p>Your friend is in!</p>

<p>Disclaimer: Pure speculation at its finest!</p>

<p>TaylorM0192- I got the call and an email for the scholarship</p>

<p>@Pino</p>

<p>Congratulations on your recently obtained enviable status and position; I, on the other hand, will continue to prepare myself for certain rejection and subsequent appeal!</p>

8

<p>Yeah Pino is in FOR SURE. </p>

<p>I’ve got my appeal letter in the works haha</p>

9

<p>taylom0192- what do you mean of " recently obtained enviable status and position?"</p>

<p>How come you are preparing for rejection? What is your major and stats?</p>

10

<p>Ella - Our appeal thread this year will be epic! UCLA won’t know what hit them.</p>

<p>@Pino - Just my expression of jealousy.</p>

<p>As for my stats…</p>

<ul>
<li>Major: Applied Mathematics/Science, B.S.</li>
<li>Alternate: Mathematics/Economics, B.A.</li>
<li>TAP Certified.</li>
<li>IGETC Certified.</li>
<li>Prerequisites Completed (w/ several additional related electives).</li>
<li>3.4-5 Cumulative GPA - 120 Semester Units - Sacramento City College.</li>
<li>Good ECs (multiple years working at a financial institution and an engineering firm; mathematics department teaching assistant).</li>
</ul>

<p>Sorry for admonishing myself so much…I didn’t realize how good my stats looked until after I typed them, hah! But 3.4ish GPA is garbage.</p>

11

<p>ella89- no phone call or even email from UCLA?</p>

12

<p>My friends and I got the same email. And when I registered to apply for the scholarship the confirmation email said “Good luck and we look forward to seeing you next fall.” </p>

<p>I’m afraid to get my hopes up.</p>
