Are you thinking Friday of next week? @HarleyTheQuinn
@Princetonian9 Probably, since most from last years thread heard back on the 29th. Although it could come at any time during the week and July so I’m just speculating
I dont want to sign any lease agreements before I head back
I’m not trying to sound negative or ruin y’alls hopes but I’m starting to feel discouraged at this point about decisions It’s almost the end of the month and so far no one has gotten rejected yet, only acceptances. I feel like they just gonna give us the big ol rejection slap when we check our portals this week or next month. Idk that’s just me. At this point I SIRed to Berkeley so there’s that
Yeah I feel that… I haven’t really heard that many be accepted but hopefully just maybe we will get positive news you never know.
I’ve gone into this whole processing assuming it’s a rejection and I’d urge everyone else to do that. Very few appeals are ever accepted, I was told roughly 2% on the phone, so it is going to be likely a rejection for most if not all of us.
I’m starting to think this too :’( I know there were people that got in throughout July in the past but that’s a very little amount. Even if we don’t get in, I’m amazed we were all persistent to go for UCLA one more time. It was worth a shot. Although, I wonder how many transfer students appealed this year. I think in the 2016 thread someone mentioned something about a coordinator telling them that around 1000 appealed that year but they try to accept less than 100 ?
Yeah, I’m really starting to lose hope, too. I’m not sure what to do at this point. This will be my 4th rejection from UCLA (applied as a freshman, appealed & applied as a transfer, appealed) and I didn’t apply anywhere else because I can’t leave the area—I have a kid in school here—and I guess I thought having a 3.92 cumulative GPA with a resume in my intended major that spans over a decade would be enough to get into UCLA in a major that last year had a 77% acceptance rate?? I’m already 29 years old; I don’t really have another year to wait around and apply again… plus I really wanted my mom, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the beginning of last year, to see me graduate. I don’t know what I could have done differently, and it’s really messing with my mind.
@cenourinha hey I feel you… sometimes you just gotta think of it as probability, or at least I do. Like wheb you put it on black but the ball lands on red. That usually happens to me so I get up and leave but know I’ll make more money another way. It isnt over nor was I not good enough I suppose. Hope that makes sense lol.
@cenourinha you shouldn’t let ucla be your excuse of not having a degree lol, there’s plenty of local great universities that are in the LA Area. And other ways of you getting that degree. It seems like you’re making up an excuse if it’s not ucla there’s no other ways of getting a degree having your mom see you graduate? Although the name of ucla sounds great but At this point it’s either you’re doing it to get the name of Ucla or your doing it to get that degree. So if you’re fearing rejection you should have other options.
… it’s less that I’m “making excuses” and more that she was given 2-3 years to live, so it was a race against time to begin with, and now there’s another year of delay.
I personally have been keeping my expectations very low. I had appeals go through for other schools which is great but I know the odds are stacked against me and most all of us for UCLA. However when writing my appeal it wasn’t an option for me to not shoot my shot. The appeal was free, I was rejected and had valuable information to add that had not been included, so I went for it, as I imagine most all of you did to. You never know what will happen, I expect the worst, hope for the best, and should it turn out either direction the lows wont blow as bad and the highs will exceed your expectations.
I feel like there might have been people lurking on here whose appeals got rejected this month, but decided not to speak up about it. Not that there’s anything wrong with it ofc
I honestly think it’s not worth it to look into the fact that we haven’t heard back yet. I got rejected from UCB (on appeal) earlier last week literally the day they notified their wait list, and I would bet my life that they didn’t even read my appeal (or any appeals), but instead just finalized the waitlist and called it quits. The fact that we all haven’t heard back from UCLA means that we’re still in the running! Especially in the past few years, most colleges don’t even read essays or look at you beyond grades if you didn’t do well, and I feel like UCLA is at least taking all of us seriously. I’m just honestly happy they’re looking at appeals and looking at us wholistically again.
Reminder: if you do not get an an email from UCLA, then you are rejected.
@Tbgunn30 What do you mean by if you get an email? I thought everyone receives an email regardless of whether or not you got on, or else it’s just a toss up of whether or not they read your appeal yet
@Tbgunn30 Uhhh what? They’ll still send an email about an update on our portals. Don’t scare people like that ?
@VeeJoePerra actually I never got an email for an update when decisions officially went out the first time in April
@UniCoIn Huh, that’s weird, they normally send an email to everyone saying that the admissions are out.
Also random topic, but does anyone find the new design of College Confidential weird? I just logged in and it’ll take a while for me to get used to it lol I miss the old one
