Has anyone received a UCLA Supplemental Questionnaire yet? If you did, please let me know your stats. Thanks!
Just received an email with the supplemental questionnaire. I’m out of state don’t remember my UC GPA but I have a 4.0 after freshman year. 1520 SAT, 760 math 2, 720 lit.
Is this additional info request a good sign?
I got the same thing today. UC GPA is 3.93, 1450 SAT (new), 800 Math II SAT subject, 720 Chem SAT Subject, 31 ACT. I have 70+ hours of community service with a performance group for elderly citizens where I play guitar/violin/piano. I also participated in Science Olympiad junior and senior year.
I took 7 classes senior year 1st semester (5 APs) and got A’s in all of them. I think I got the questionnaire because of family/financial circumstances. How do my chances look?
Just got the request for supplemental.
UC GPA: 3.95
SAT: 1300 (690 M, 610 R/W)
Major: Business Economics
I also have certain personal and family circumstances. I feel the only probable aspect that distinguished my application was my essays.
Edit: Did these requests also get sent out last year???
Got the request for supplement
UC GPA: 4.31 - out of state
ACT: 30 (30 English, 34 math, 28 reading, 27 science)
I am on the junior beach volleyball national team so maybe they are more interested in my special talent? Don’t know if this is a good sign or not?!? What are my odds?
Got this request. Not sure what my special talent skill or ability is but I’m going to call them tomorrow and ask which one they’d like elaboration on. Also, I wrote an additional information essay on my personal circumstance so I’m not sure if they want a new essay for that as well
@Connorlruck Same issue here. I looked back at my essays, but wasn’t really sure if I had one. I think some questions might not be for everyone. I definitely feel #2 is more universal.
You’re only supposed to answer the one that applies to you. For some people it’s just 1 for others it’s both.
At my high school 3 people received the supplemental request from ucla. Only one got in.
My stats are severely low… with 3.6gpa and 23 ACT but I do have various hardships that I talked about that were detrimental to my grades. I also have done extensive community service and had an internship at the children’s hospital ranked third in the nation, I take a medical intervention class one hour before school hours and so on…
Also I an OOS from Kentucky! and I received the supplemental questionnaire yesterday!
@Alisonalvarado its great news that you got the supplemental then. With those stats you are not their average applicant BUT they have not denied you yet. They instead chose to ask you for more supplemental information to convince them that you’re a right fit for UCLA. They have read your app and did not put it in the reject pile so that is good news.
ANSWER BOTH questions ! one essay go into further detail, new detail about the hardships that were the reason why your grades aren’t higher. the other essay for special skill talk about the internship at the highly ranked children’s hospital. Do your best on these essays and get people to edit them before you turn them in.
You can do it ! you have their interest now you just need to convince them to accept you.
Thank you for the great advice!!! but do you know if UCSD, UCSB or the other UC’s usally ask for LOR’s or additional suppliments? Berkeley also requested LOR’s from me. I am very unaware of the process the UC’s take being from Kentucky! Thank you @UCLAstan
@Alisonalvarado:
UCB is currently the only UC that asks for LOR’s but the rest of the UC’s will ask for supplementals from a small percentage of applicants.
@Alisonalvarado UCB will ask for LOR also to a small percentage of applicants that they have interest in. So make sure to get those in by the deadline. The other UC’s use the supplemental info request, but you only need to send it to them if they directly request it from you like UCLA did.
so if they haven’t emailed you don’t worry about it.
The LOR request from UCB means you are in the maybe group. Applicants are separated into 3 groups: yes, no and maybe. You still have a chance to be admitted.
@UCBUSCalum I’m not sure that’s what the LOR meant this year. I got mine two days after the application was submitted, no where year enough time to give it even a lookover considering I waited to the last minute. Also it seems like a majority of applicants received it, or at least more than have in other years
Try reviewing the above YouTube link which shows UCB’s Jesse Rothstein discussing the UCB admission process, including LOR’s. One point he made that there were 3 groups: yes, no and maybe. LOR’s are sent to maybe’s. I am guessing computers are used to do initial screening and LOR’s may be sent based on this initial filtering. The YoutTube presentation is about 1 hour long. I was doing other things simultaneously while watching and may have missed some points.
I am happy to have received one, but I just wish I knew what else they want to hear from me.
UC GPA: 3.29 (now it is a 3.5 with my 1st semester grades)
SAT: 1180 (620 R/W, 530 M)
ACT: 25 (28 English, 18 Math, 33 Reading, 20 Science)
Major: English
@soccerworm If you got the questionnaire it means they want to know more about you, and by that I don’t mean your stats. They already have those. The questionnaire is self explanatory and tells you what they want. I imagine in your case they are looking for an explanation of what might have affected your academic performance.
